An explanation of the habits OF

Of the K-9 Corps, removed what
doubt remained in the courts mind
that the unleashed dog had bitten
q passerby near his home last

scrappy's master, Robert Sher-
man Of the 600 block of Princeton

plainant's testimony that the dog
had bitten him.
"Your honor, Scrappy couldn't
have bitten this mans leg-all his

that to go for his neck" Mr.. Sher-
man told Judge Nadine L. Gal

Mass Burial Planned.
In reporting Mr.. Pearlstein's death
yesterday, the Jewish Agency, OF
which Hagana is the defensive arm
had indicated he was the first United
States citizen to die in the parti-
ton fight.
(Mr. Pearlstein was a student
in the Hebrew University in Jeru-
salem. The son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Samuel j. Pearlstein, he had
studied to be q rabbi In Yeshiva
University in, New York City.
He finished there In 1916 and

Jerusalem Jews, most of them
kin of the dead, went into the
Judean hills today to give a mass
burial to the IS victims of Friday S
slaughter. They Travelled in two
Artdored Jewish trucks escprted by
three armored patrol cars OF the
British Army.
The burial was planned at Kefar
Etzion, some 18 miles south OF
Jerusalem and about halfway be-
tween Bethlehem and Hebron. The
Royal Sussex Regiment took the
bodies there yesterday.
Kefar Etzion had been under
Arab siege and the Jews were on
their way to reinforce the settle
ment when they were machinegun-
ned from ambush along a camel
track near Jaba, four miles west Of
the Bethlehem Hebron road.
In resisting, the Jews killed four
Arabs. Earlier six Arabs had been
slain in a Jewish raid on the nearby
village Of Surf. Trouble in the hills
started with Arab attacks in mid
week on Kefar Etzion and three
other Jewish settlements.
Irgun zvai Leuni, Jewish ex-
tremist organization, broadcast yes
terday "the zero hour for a full
scale counteroffensive against the
Arabs has struck" Arabs hurriedly
reinforced their positions in and
around the walled city here and
broke up crowds. No counter

In Bagdad yesterday, Ahmed

countries have asked the Palestine
government to let them send as
many troops to protect their Jerusa-

u. n. Getting Attitude
|0f Britain Regarding
Plans in Palestine
By the A.seeiatsd Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Jan. 10. - The
United Nations expects to learn the
British attitude on series Of Pales-
tine problems this week and then
will start laying definite plans fol
splitting up the Holy Land. informed
quarters said today.
The five-nation Palestine Parti-
tion Commission met today to COM
plete a draft Of questions to the
British government covering immi-
grafton, security and admtnistra-
tion aspects Of the situation. Sir
Alexander Cadogan. British dele
gate, has promised reply as speed
lily as possible, although 1t was as
sumed he would have to consult his
government for some Of the in
formation.
Complete Data Awaited.
The question Of when the U. N.
commission will enter the Holy
Land has been laid aside pending
complete information from the
British on its withdrawal plans. It
appears that the commission will
remain here at least another six
weeks and then move to London for
conferences with top British Of
ficials, including Foreign Secretary
Bevin, before actually setting foot
in Palestine.
A decision on the biggest prob
lem of all-supplying troops to en-
force the General Assembly's No
vember 40 decision to split the Holy
Land into independent Jewish and
Arab nations-will have to be made
by the Security Council. So far,
the 11-nation Council has given no
indication when it plans to take
action, but one member OF the COM
mission said recently he had infor-
nation that the Council would move
shortly.
The first date in the Assembly's
timetable rolls around February l,
when q recommendation to the Brit
ish to open a seaport area to Jew
ish immigration becomes effective.
Actually the Palestine Commission
has nothing to do with this step,
since the British rule the country
until their mandate ends, May Is or
earlier.
Conference on Pakistan.
Other u. N. developments:
/. Representatives of India and
Pakistan held weekend conferences
under the guidance of Security
Council Chairman Fernand Van
Langenhove of Belgium in efforts
to lay the groundwork for settle
ment of their differences over the
princely state of Kashmir. Little
porgress was reported, but a final
report will be made at Council
meeting tomorrow.
2. The Controls Committee OF
the U. N. Atomic Energy Commis-
sion scheduled its first 1948 meet
ing today to resume consideration
of the organization structure Of an
