Ry the Associotsd Press

The success of Chinese Commun-
lists in capturing large numbers OF
Generalissimo Chang kal-sneKs 5
troops was attributed in special
Senate report last night to a
Friendship" policy the Commun-
lists have adopted.
Special Senate consultant u.
Worth Clark said American Am
bassador j, Leighton Stuart at Nam
king told him the Communist policy
was calculated at once to lessen
fears of Communism within the
private citizenry, to encourage sur
render of additional Chinese Ma
tionalist troops, and to weaken the
already desperate Nationalist army's
supply status"
INSTEAD of putting to labor or
Furnishing captured Nationalist
troops" Mr.. Clark continued, they
offered freedom in return for sur
render of a gun. In beleaguered
cities, entirely Communist sur
rounded, a surrendered gun consti-
tuted a pass to the outside for six
persons.
This particular Communist tao
tic, in the opinion of DR.. Stuart,
was taking a heavy toll in troops,
supplies and in general morale. To
it, in part, he attributed recent
Communist capture of large bodies
of troops en- masse. Other said
that this policy was responsible for
the widespread Chinese apathy to-
ward Communist control"

If manufacturers could require

u. 5. Opposes Plan
To Take Neeeb Area
Away From Israel
Shift Must Be Made Will
Jews Consent, Jessup
Tells U. N. Committee
BY the Assoeioisd Press

PARIS, Nov. 2O.-The United
States announced its opposition
today to a part of the British
supported Bernadotte plan which
would slice the huge Negeb Des-
ert from Israel and give it to the
Arabs.
The American position was stated
by DR.. Philip c. Jessup in the So
member Political Committee of the
United Nations Assembly.
In what he described as a pre-
liminary statement. DR.. Jessup fol-
lowed closely President Truman S
declaration of October "a that no
reductions in Israel's territory
should be made without full con-
sent of the Jews.
DR.. Jessup spoke during debate on
the recommendations of Count Folke
Bernadotte, slain U. N. mediator,
which Britain is seeking to have the
Assembly approve. DR.. Jessup said
the United States was in accord
with Count Bernadotte's conclusions
with the exception of certain prin-
ciples concerning boundaries.
Israers Claim Supported.
This was a reference to Count
Bernadotte's proposal that the Jews
give up the Negeb desert, assigned
to them under the partition plan of
November 20, 1947, and keep West
ern Galilee, which originally was as
signed to the Arabs. This swap
would reduce the size of Israel by
about 60 per cent.
DR.. Jessup said the United States
supported Israel's claim to the
boundaries of the original partition
plan. He added, however, that II
Israel desires additional territory
1T would be necessary for Israel to
offer an appropriate exchange
through negotiations"
This was interpreted as a sug-
gestion for Israel either to renounce
Western Galilee, which Israeli forces
now hold. or to offer some part OF
the Negeb in exchange.
Opposes Drawing Lines Now.
On the general question of boun-
daries, he said:
Our view is that we must con-
tinue to seek further agreement be-
tween the parties rather than at
tempt at this time to draw specific
boundary lines"
Count Bernadotte's proposed re-
vision of the original U. N. partition
was advanced when the Arabs were
in actual control Of most of the
Negeb. The Jews now have driver
the Egyptians out OF most of the
Negeb.
| DR.. Jessup indicated the United
States might offer amendments tt
the Bernadotte plan at later date
A further American statement j.
expected after President Truman
reviews the world situation with
Secretary of State Marshall ir
