WASHINGTON

WASf11NGION-
When the Special Session of the
United Nations General Assembly
meets in New York on April 16 on
Palestine, the question of immigra-
ton there will be very much to the
fore. President Truman told a
press conference within the past
few weeks that his attitude on i'm
migration of Jewish refugees to
Palestine was unchanged. This
meant that he still favored en-
trance fOf 100000 homeless Jews
to Palestine. Plans are now being
worked out, for presentation at the
UN Special Session, to start ar
rangements for moving displaced
Jews where most of them want to
20 to Palestine.
In the meantime efforts are be-
ing concentrated here on ways and
means of:
l. Securing peace i'm Palestine.
2. Negotiating a temporary, and
acceptable, United Nations trus-
teeship.
The British continue to refuse
American requests to stay on in
Palestine after May IS, either as
part of a UN trusteeship, or in
any other capacity. The French,
according to informed sources
here, have shown willingness to
go along with the United States.
France may thus be one Of several
UN powers charged with admir-
istering a trusteeship; and may
also be represented in an Internal
lonal force to be recruited for
service in Palestine.
While political and defense urg-
encies demand first attention, the
question is being asked: Where
Will the daily bread of Jews and
Arabs come from after the British
leave?
Wheat and bread cereals, as well
as certain fats and oils, have been
imported by the British. They
have arranged for shipments
through May Is. After that a
mere two weeks supply is on hand.
The International Emergency Food
Council in Washington has antici-
pated that Palestine would need
special ALLEGATIONS after May Is.
Until then, ',allotments for the
British Middle East area have in

taken no formal action so far. until
