u. n. Palestine Unit
To Begin Talks With
British This Week
By the Assoeiotsd Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Jan. 10.-The
United Nations Palestine Commis-
sion is expected to begin talks with
the British next week over proce-
dures in partitioning the Holy Land
with London ready to spurn any
plan for dual U. N.-British control
in Palestine.
The commission held q one-hour
secret meeting here today at which
the five delegates reviewed the
General Assembly's November %
decision to carve Palestine into
Jewish and Arab nations, effective
next October l.
As the meeting was In progress,
a British spokesman said his gov
ernment will ask the U. N. Com
mission to stay out Of the Holy Land
until British rule ends. The British
are understood to be ready to end
their mandate May Is, or earlier If
the U. N. is ready to take over, but
are cautioning against U. N. entry
into the Holy Land until week
or so before the changeover in
authority.
Date to End Mandate Flexible.
The British spokesman empha-
sized the date for terminating the
British mandate is flexible and de-
pends principally on when the U. N.
will be ready, along with the phys
ical problems of winding up British
affairs and withdrawing troops. He
emphasized the stand is in line with
London's original position that the
British government cannot under
take to enforce any solution in
Palestine which is not acceptable to
both Jews and Arabs.
The Arabs have opposed partition
from the first, and yesterday the
Arab Higher Committee, spokesman
for Palestine Arabs, said it will boy
colt the Commission and reject an
invitation for consultations. Sir
Alexander Cadogen, permanent
British U. N delegate, will lay his
Governments position before the
Commission, which consists of
Czechoslovakia, the Philippines, Bo-
livia, Panama and Denmark. Moshe
Shertok, regarded as leading can
didate for foreign minister Of the
new Jewish nation, has arrived in
the United States and will represent
the agency, the spokesman for Jews
in Palestine. Formal invitations for
consultation were sent by the U. N.
to the British, Jews and Arabs.
The Commission meeting was un-
derstood to have been occupied with
informal discussions of the prob

delegates entered into an agreement
not to talk with newsmen after their
secret sessions but to issue commu-
niques. Today's official report merely
said the group undertook prelim-
mary review of the General Assem-
bly, resolution and the work devolv-
ing upon 1t (the Commision) from
that resolution"
The next session, also closed to
newsmen and the public, was set
for II am. Tuesday.

ROSH PIMA, Palestine, Jan. 10.
The first Arab smash over Pales-
tine borders against Jewish settle
ments was a punitive raid launched
by 62-year-old Sheik Faour OF
Southern Syria as revenge for the
killing of two of his tribesmen by
Hagana, police here said today.
The raiders were led by the sheik' S
son, who was wounded and carried
back into Syria by his own men,
police added. Four Jews were killed
and several injured as the Arabs
swarmed over the Syrian border yes
terday and attacked the settlements
of Kfar Sold and Dan.
Sheik Faour was one of Syria's S
representatives at the San Francisco
conference which drafted the United
Nations Charter. He also has been
in his country's delegation to meet
ings Of the Arab League.
Invaders Put at $50.
Arabs of this area were irate over
the raid. The Arab Higher Executive
was believed sending remonstra-
ton to Sheik Faour for failure to
gear his activities with the rest of
the Arab world in resistance against
partition.

The two settlements of Dan and
Kfar Sold were attacked stimuli

the scene of the fighting but took

addressed more than 1000 cheering

Mr.. Roosevelt minimized the de-
parture OF Henry A. Wallace from
the Democratic Party.
Mr.. Roosevelt noted Mr. Wallace's
support from the Communist Party
ahd declared:
"All honest and decent liberals
and the vast majority Of labor have
denounced his action as a dangerous
adventure.
"That Is enough for Henry WAL

Mr.. Roosevelt predicted meat
prices "a third or more higher than
they are now" by spring If meat
Is not rationed and put back under
price controls. Republicans refuse
to face plain economic facts, he
