RomuIo Hits Partition Plan.
Some supporters of partition had
hoped they might win the vote Of the
Philippines-absent during yester-
days balloting-but Chief Brig. Gen
Carlos P. Romulo, chief Philippine
delegate quickly dispelled that hope
at the beginning of today's debate.
In a speech sharply criticizing
the partition scheme, Gen. Romulo
told the Assembly:
The Philippines regrets its in
ability to approve of or participate
in solution of the Palestine prob
lem that would involve the en-
couragement of political disunion
and the enforcement Of measures
that would amount to the terri.

affirming Sweden's support of the
partition plan.

partition was opened by Prince Self
el Islam Abdullah, chief delegate of
Yemen. Wearing a white turban
and flowing robes, Abdullah ap-
pealed to the conscience and rea-
son" of the Assembly to reject par
tition.
Canadian Delegate J. L. Ilsley de-
clared Canada would vote for parti-
tion. He deplored the large num-
ber of abstentions-l7 in commit
tee yesterday-but said "It is not
for Canada to advise other nations
on the course they should take in
this vote"

about my confinement"
Curley's statement added:
Il appreciate the action taken BY
the President of the United States
The Boston Mayor left Fedora
Institution ABOUT two hours after
President Truman had signed the
commuta tion order.
In Boston a Massachusetts official
said Curley will lose none of his civil
rights under the presidential COM
mutation.
Curley can retain the Office of
Mayor and has all the rights of any
other American citizen. this official
said. He will not be required to
make periodical reports like pa
roiee.
Simply Cuts Sentence.
Communication of the sentence, this
of1lcial explained. simply cuts his
minimum sentence from six months
to f1ve month";
When Curley, Democrat, was
sentenced, the Republican -dozni-
mated Massachusetts Legislature
passed a special law providing that
City Clerk John B. Hynes act as
temporary mayor" while Curley
was in prison.
This law specified that Hynes
turn over the office once Curley re-
turned "to active duty"
The city has paid both Curley and
Hynes at the rate of $4,000 a year
for the last five months.
Curley turned over his salary for
the period of his Imprisonment to
charity.
Immediate Plans Unknown.
Under Massachusetts, law, one of
the Mayors secretaries, Frank How
land, said, Curley does not lose any
Massachusetts, civil rights as he did
not serve in Federal prison in this
State.
Whether Curley would resume his
duties as Mayor Immediately or take
a vacation first is not known at City
Hall. The law clearly says, however,
that he takes over once he steps
foot in City Hall.
Mr.. Hynes, who will revert back to
his city clerks job, told newsmen
the news of Mayor Curley's release
must be most pleasing and gratify-
ing to the Mayor and his family at
this Thanksgiving season."
Curley's term has two years to
run.

tees favorable vote on partitioning
the Holy Land. Arab leaders de-
nounced the action in words which
made no secret of their bitter feel

Dr. Hussein ell Khalidi, secretary
of the Arab Higher Executive
characterized the vote as "a victory
for Americas ability to blackmail
the world" and added:
THE fact that there were II
abstentions and 13 negative votes in
the Ad Hoe Committee and only 25
favorable ballots shows that the
majority of members opposed parti-
ton. Only Americas attitude and
pressure work during the last 48
hours before the vote saved the par
tition proposal from defeat" IT,.
In the streets of Jerusalem other
less diplomatic Arabs openly took
the attitude of Now we will fight"
Jews Appear Confident.
Jewish quarters appeared certain
that the partition plan would re-
ceive the necessary two-thirds ma
jority In the u. N. General As
sembly. The general opinion was
reflected in the Palestine Post, Jew
ish-owned English-language news
paper, which said of the committee

MOSCOW, April 11.-nya Ehren-
burg devoted nearly q half page IN
the weekly newspaper Culture and
Life today to q denunciation Of the
'tVoice Of America ca"the United
States Russian-language broadcasts
as q false voice.
The Soviet publicist referred to-
statements by Secretary OF State
Marshall and Ambassador Walter
Bedell Smith that good would come
from the broadcasts.
Il agree that development OF mu-H
tual understanding and friendship
really is necessary between two
great nations Ehrenburg went on,
aarld although I knew that workers
of American radio devote their lie
not SO much to spreading the real.
undistorted truth as to advertising
Heinz sauces and Chesterfield Gig
arettes, I rejoiced nevertheless that
maybe this project would be en-
trusted to orderly people.
Ehrenburg wrote that the Voice
of America" had engaged persons
giving the name OF Georgi George
vich Otvetov to answer questions.
(Otvetov in Russian means answer }
81 must confess that I have 9
number of questions to ask Georg1
Georgievich," )" the publicist wrote. IF
YOU love undistorted truth, why
then is there so much untruth in
your broadcasts? If you want q de-
velopment of friendship, why plant
hostility by your words? You have
scientists, writer's and engineers Of
whom the United States has a right
to be proud. You have people who
fought against Fiscism. You have
honest people who love freedom.
Why don't you let these people come
up to the microphonep"
He concluded:
"Why are American broadcasts In
Russian-not the Voice Of America
but those of servile reactionaries?"
United States Embassy officials,
noting that this was the first men-
ton of the State Department broad,
cast in the Russian press, expressed
pleasure that so much publicity had
been given the program. These Off
cials predicted the article would at
tract new listeners because the mag
azine is widely circulated and read.
