Motion Offered By Colom-

A surprise compromise move by
France today put off for at least
"a hours a final showdown vote
in the United Nations Assembly
on the so-called Soviet-Ameri-
can plan to partition Palestine
into Jewish and Arabic countries.
The Assembly voted 25 to IS
on the simple question of ad-
journing for "a hours.
A motion for adjournment
takes precedence over all other
business, must be voted on
promptly, and requires only \
simple majority for adoption.
Alexandra Parodi, chief French
delegate, proposed the postpone
ment with the avowed hope that
some goodwill formula" might
be found in those hours to end
the Arab-Jew impasse. Arab
countries are bitterly opposed to
partition; Zionist Jews favor it.
When the Assembly reconvenes
tomorrow at 4 p. m. (EST) it
must also consider a surprise
move by Colombia which would
| in effect delay a final decision on
Palestine until sometime next
year.
