Britain, the Jewish Telegraphic
Agency learns.
Until these negotiations are
concluded the U. S. delegation at
Lake Success will take no definite
stand on the recommendations OF
the U. N. Special Committee on
Palestine to the General Assembly,
it was assumed here among the
delegations of the smaller states.
The majority of these delegations
are not ready to commit them
selves on UNSCOP's recommended
lions for partition until they get
an indication of the attitude of the
United States and the Soviet
Union.
Circles close to President Tru-
man indicated that there is no
ground for state of alarm on the
part of Zionist leaders who fear
that they may be "let down. by
the u. S. delegation. However, it
became known that when DR.. Abba
Hillen Silver and Moshe Shertok
conferred with Secretary of State
George c. Marshall last week,
they left without assurances that
the American Government would
support Jewish claims for the es-
Establishment of a Jewish state in
Palestine as recommended by the
UNSCOP majority. Marshall is
said to be wavering on the
UNSCOP majority report.
Vishinsky Says Soviet Stands
BY GrOmykO's Statement
Andrea Vishinsky, head of the
Soviet delegation, indicated that
the attitude of the U. S. S. r. re-
garding the UNSCOP report will
be based on a statement made by
Andrea Gromyko at the special
session of the Assembly last May.
At that time, Gromyko said that
the Soviet Government would pre-
fer to see the Palestine question
solved through the establishment
of an independent bi-national
Arab-Jewish state, but, should this
prove impossible, the Soviet Union
is of the opinion that the Jews
are entitled to a state of their
own, on the basis of partition.
Emphasizing that the Palestine
issue els now entering a highly
critical phase at the United Ma
tiOns," the American Zionist
Emergency Council issued a call to
Jewish organizations throughout
the country to send Geographic
appeals to President Truman and
to Secretary Marshall expressing
concern over the fact that the u.
S. Government els not ready to
take q clear attitude in the United
Nations in favor of the UNSCOP
majority recommendations"
An emergency appeal to Mr..
Truman to use his office mot only
for favorable consideration of the
principles of the UNSCOP major
ity report, but also its implement
tation, with the United States
assuming its share of responsible
ity," was telegraphed by Frank

Council Adopts
Budget; CitY's
Costs Increase

To meet the needs of rapidly
growing city, Kennewick's City
council Tuesday night passed its
preliminary budget for the COM
ing year at 45,027.70, an in
crease of approximately $4,000
over last years figure.
Largest new item in the budget
was a $4,000 allowance for air.
port development, which includes
expected federal matching money.
Increased costs of operation in
all city departments accounted
for a large part of the increase.
These costs are reflected in in
creased salaries as well as in
creased costs of supplies and
equipment. !
The council re-budgeted unused
balances from last year Of $40, 900
for a garbage collection system
and $4,000 for a swimming pool.
Last years budget included
$50, 900 which was expended on
the city-wide street oiling pro-
gram. OF that amount $4,000
came from the State Development
fund.
eliminating months of work
and discussion the council passed
a resolution calling for property
owners on Avenue c to proceed
with sidewalk and curb construc-
ton. Formation of a local inn
provement district for this pro-
ject proved unavoidable, Under
the present arrangement the pro-
perty owners will put in their
own walks within 90 days. If
not completed by that time the
city will proceed with the job,
charging the cost to property
owners.
This program was worked out
with the representatives of Ave-
nue. c business men. Allowance
will be made for installation Of
light poles and il is expected
this program may be completed
at a later date with an LID.
The council adopted a building
code meeting provisions estab-
lished by the Fire Underwriters
Association. A small fee will be
charged for building permits.
A general discussion took
place on the question of a new
coming ordinance to give the city
better control Of city planning.
