Jerusalem Jews See
Victory for Partition

JERUSALEM, Nov. 28 (P).-The
Holy Lands Jews and Arabs both
appeared hopeful today that the
United Nations would vote in their
favor when the question Of parti-
tioning Palestine Is put to the ballot
| in New York.
The common opinion in the Jew
ish quarter of Jerusalem was that
the partition plan would win by one
or two votes, and Arabs declared
commenting on Greece's decision to
vote against partition, now there
is hope"
DR.. Hussein F. Khalidi, secretary
Of the Arab Higher Committee, how
ever. took a less optimistic view
than most of his fellow Arabs.
I'm very pessimistic about the
way the whole procedure is being
handled, but still have hope for
justice" he said. 1T is Obvious there
Is behind-the-scenes bargaining and
the Arabs are not going to permit
themselves to be sold on the inter-
national markets
In Iraq, an Arab state, feeling
against the partition plan appeared
to be mounting and thousands Of
Jews in Baghdad, the capital, focked
to insurance companies to protect
their properties against violence.
The. rush was so great that insur-
ance firms raised their rates IL
per cent and put all business on a
monthly, rather than annual, basis.
Semi official and parliamentary
circles in Baghdad, meanwhile, ex-
pressed dissatisfaction with the at
titude of the Saudi Arabian govern
ment. which they accused Of paying
only Clip service" to the united Arab
front against partitioning Palestine.
These circles said they feared oil
rich Saudi Arabia did not intend to
apply oil sanctions against the
United States, one Of the foremost
advocates of partition, and lend
material help to Palestine Arabs.
They urged, last minute warn
ing to Saudi Arabia to apply oil
sanctions, otherwise the rest of the
Arab states will act independently
to save Palestine"

Raiders Probed by U. 5.
BY the Asseeiotsd Press

NEW DELHI, Nov. 2s.-The
American Embassy said today 1T is
investigating reports that a former
army sergeant is leading company
of Northwest Frontier tribal raiders
against the Indian and Kashmir
state army forces in Southern Kash-
mir.
Accounts published in New Delhi
and London said the man identified
himself at Russell Haight of Denver,
Colo, and that he wore cowboy garb
He was said to have left a road
building job in Afghanistan to join
the invaders of Kashmir at RaWal-
pindi in Pakistan.
The reports said the man declared
he had joined the Canadian Army
when the war started, that he took
part in the Dieppe raid in France
and that he planned to teach the
tribal raiders commando tactics he
learned in England during the war.
The raiders have been elected
from parts of Kashmir, but still are
attacking in the rugged, mountain
Gus southern area.
The Embassy could revoke
Haight's passport, possibly causing
Pakistan to deport him or request
him to leave.

Embassy in Ottawa
B, the Associated Press

\ OTTAWA, Nov. 28-The Edmond
Turcotte incident has taken a new
turn with speculation in some Ca
madam quarters that the diplomatic
chiefs of the American Embassy
here will follow Dana Doten, an
attache, out of Ottawa. >
The Toronto Star, pro-govern-
ment newspaper with the largest
circulation in Canada. commented:
Julian Harrington, United States
Minister to Canada, may leave and,
in the not too distant future, it is
likely that Ray Atherton, United
States Ambassador, will be shifted
to a new post"
Doten Seen Scapegoat.
A lead editorial in the Ottawa
Citizen today said the removal of
Mr. Doten, presumably because of
intrigue against the appointment of
Edmond Turcotte as Canadian con-
sui general to Chicago" raised the
question of whether Mr.. Doten had
been made scapegoat.
ITO recall an official of lower
rank" it said, has every appear
ance of trying to smooth over a
regrettable incident without its re-
fiecting on those to whom the real
responsibility belongs"
The Turcotte case caused a minor
diplomatic tempest a month ago. A
news leak over the appointment of
Mr.. Turcotte as the dominion's
first consul general in Chicago and
certain American objections to the
appointment were factors.
Mr.. Turcotte was the American
born editor Of the Montreal news
paper LIE Canada. Mr.. Doten, as
special assistant to Ambassador
Atherton, was in charge of the
preparation of an American file on

The Toronto Star said the furry
over Mr.. Turcotte "and some other
trends noticed among the American
Embassy staff here that made Ca
nadians angry have dried up" much
OF the oil of friendship which had
marked relationships between rep
resentatives of the two governments.
Neither Mr. Atherton nor Mr..
Harrington was available for COM
ment.
Actually, Mr.. Atherton normally
would be slated for retirement in
March, 1946, under State Depart
ment age regulations in any case.
The first story of the Turcotte ap-
pointment appeared in the Ottawa
Journal, attributed to Canadian
sources.
Mr.. Atherton got in touch with
the Canadian government October |
%. Reliable informants said he
drew official attention to complaints
that there were anti-American ex-
pressions in Mr.. Turcottes writings
and suggested that the appointment
be reconsidered.
