Hagana Says Jews
Can Defend Partition /,
But Cost Will Be Hioh
BY HE Assoeiossd Press.

JERUSALEM, Jan. 3.-Mem-
bers of Hagana, the Jewish mi
Ilitia, announced today that four
Arabs were shot to death in a
midnight reprisal raid r>on an
Arab stronghold in the bloody
lno-man's land between Jewish
Tel Aviv and Arab Jaffa.
Hagarla said British police searched
a Jewish house in the area and
after police withdrew Arabs fired on
the house from a strongpoint across
the street. wounding three Jews.
The Hagana raid on the Arab
stronghold followed.
The deaths boosted to 523 the
number Of persons slain In Palestine
since the United Nations voted to-
partition the Holy Land on Novem-
ber 20.
Earlier, Hagana source asserted
that the Jewish defense force is
convinced it can take, hold and de-
fend a Jewish state in partitioned
Palestine, but that it will take two
or three years and will cost many
more lives.
Called Toughest Fight"
This conviction was disclosed
today by a young Jewess who re-
ceived her training as Hagana in
telligence officer through several
years of working in the anti-Nazi
undergrounds of Europe.
I'VE know the Jews of Palestine
and Of the world are up against the
toughest fight they ever had" the
Hagana intelligence officer said.
But we know our chances" she
added, "even though the Arabs are
getting help from the British, now,
we are convinced that the Jews can
win the fight without help from the
outside other than from the Jewish
people"
The main factors in Hagana's op-
timism, In her opinion, are:
l. Arab resistance to Zionism is
economically much more paralyzing
to the Arabs than the Jews since the
Arab masses live on a day to day
basis and one days interruption of
income means loss Of that days
food. |
Expects United States Aid.
2. The United States can be ex-
pected to come to the aid of the
Jews by economic pressure on the
Arab states.
8. The United Nations has no
police force and when the British
leave-"as we are now convinced
they will leave"-the Arabs will be
forced to "pit their strength against
ours and we are unafraid."
Government informants said the
wives and children of British Off
cials "are being urged" to leave
Palestine as soon as possible. The
sources added, however, that there
were no official plans yet for for
NAL evacuation.
An official spokesman said Brit
ish police today would assume guard
of essential public services where
both Arabs and Jews had quit
work in protest against inadequate
protection, including the main
Jerusalem post Office. which has
been closed for several days.

India-P Pakistan Fight
Will Be Heard Before
u. n. Council tuesday
BY fhe Associoted Press

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y, Jan.
3.-The United Nations Security
Council was summoned to meet
Tuesday to tackle the India
Pakfstan dispute over the inva-
sion of Kashmir.
The Indian government, outlining
a situation which 1t said was "likely
to endanger the maintenance of
international peace and security"
called on the Security Council last
night to require Pakistan to stop
giving aid to the tribal invaders OF
KaShmir.
The Indian note said the matter
was one of extreme urgency" and
added that if Pakistan's help to the
tribal invaders was not halted "the
government of India may be COM
PEELED, in self defense, to enter PAX
istan territory, in order to take
military action against the in
vaders."
Troops Were Flown In.
Kashmir, predominately Moslem
princely state in the extreme north
ern part of the Indian subcontinent,
acceded to the Dominion of India
last October 27, after the invasion
began. The Hindu Maharajah, Sir
Hari Singh, said in announcing the
accession: II have no option but
to ask for help from the Dominion
of India"
Indian troops then we're flown in
to Kashnlir to help fight the invad-
ing Pathans, who have been identi-
fed by the Indian government as
residents of Moslem Pakistan's
northwest frontier province.
The invaders, the Indian note to
the United Nations said, have re-
ceived and are still receiving" as
sistance from Pakistan.
The note promised that once the
invaders are cleared out the people
of Kashmir would be free to de-
eide their future by the recognized
democratic method of a plebiscite
or referendum which might be
held under international auspices" i"
Nehru Accuses Pakistan.
In New Delhi yesterday Prime
Minister Jawaharlal Nehru of India
accused Pakistan of harboring 100,-
600 tribesmen preparing to invade
Kashmir and of aiding $4,000 who
have invaded the state,
which adjoins Soviet Russia, At
ghanistan and Tibet. Kashmir, has
an area of about 1000 square miles
and population of about 100000.
He declared that while Indian
troops had refrained thus. far from
invading Pakistan to attack the
enemy" installations, ''if we are
forced to, we will do it," He added,
however, that there was mo imme-
diate intention" to undertake such
an attack.

Philip Noel-Baker, secretary of
state for commonwealth relations,
prepared to depart for Lake Success
to join in the discussions of India's

when the proper kind of structural
steel is obtained.
Mr.. Murphy said 1t was clearly
the intent of the law that the Fine
Arts Commission be given control
over important structural changes
at the White House. In this case,
various members of the commission
were consulted about the plan by
Mr.. Truman and the impression was
gained that he had cotton the idea
after an automobile trip last sum-
mer to Charlottesville. Va. Many of
the old Colonial houses in that city
and other Southern cities he has
seen on his trips have porches such
as Mr.. Delano has designed for the
White House.
''The Fine Arts Commission has
always felt that the White House
properly should be preserved as a
national monument" said Mr.
Murphy. "It was not designed for
p-esent-day living and for that rea-
son structural changes have been
required from time to time, mostly
for utilitarian purposes. For in
stance, when changes were made at
the east portico for the improve
ment of traffic facilities the COM
mission was consulted and gave its
approval
Interior Changes Made.
There are many minor changes
made at the White House which
require neither consultation or ap-
proval, he explained. However, in
the case of the balcony, he said
members of the commission, when
they visited the White House and
first heard about the plan, did not
like the suggestion. AS near as
possible, Mr.. Murphy said, mem
bers feel the original plans of the
White House should be kept intact
and a balcony at the south portico
was not included. But in view of
the fact that the Presidents who
occupy the White House find it
necessary to make changes for their
comfort and convenience. the COM
decided to "string along"
with Mr. Trumanl in this case, Mr..
explained.
Personally, he said he did not
think Washington's climate suitable
for the use of such a balcony as Mr..
Truman wants. being too hot at
times and too cold at other times.
knowing Mr.. Delano was thor
oughly familiar with the design of
the White House and the views of
the Fine Arts Commission in pre-
serving the architectural integrity"
of the mansion, Chairman Clarke
had no hesitation in recommending
him as the architect.
Regarded as Technicality.
Frequently in New York, it was
said, Mr.. Clark and the architect
consulted about the plans, and while
formal approval of the Fine Arts
Commission might be considered
members feel that is a
mere technicality. The President, it
was pointed out, conformed to the
spirit of the law in consulting with
the commission and certainly the
has co-operated on its
part.
Mr.. Delano was the architect en-
gagged during the Coolidge admins
ration when the upper stories and
'oof Of the White House were re-
modelled after the fire.
Under Executive Order of 1921,
he Fine Arts Commission must be
consulted on any plans or altera-
ions to all public buildings inl
except the Capitol.
later, in 1880, the Shipstead-L Luce
act requires approval of the COM
mission of the plans for buildings
butting on public parks or facing

Gen. Vaughan gave no hint as to
whether such an amalgamation
could be accomplished, or the prob
able cost to the Nation.

Gen. Walsh pointed out that the
National Guard has just experienced
its most rapid expansion in history,
having a strength of 206,374 as OF
December IS, compared with only
1903 at the beginning of 1947
This is the answer of the States
and the National Guard to certain

National Guard could not do the job
and ought to get out of the way and
let somebody else do it-meaning, of
course, the ORC" he stated.
THE conclusion Is unacceptable
that certain people, desirous of high
rank and commensurate commands,
are willing to endanger the security
of the Nation in order to attain
their own, purposes. To scrap the
National Guard would not only leave
the Nation defenseless, but it would
