Count Bsrnadottt. Council, mean,
while, hoped to vote today on what
to do about the Arab-JeWish war
in Palestine.
If the Council decides on media
ton, it is probable that Count

up that effort.s ssvse =sa
Himmler Approached Count.
The Swedish nobleman was chosen
under provisions of a resolution
approved by the U. N. Special As
sembly on Palestine in its final
minutes last Friday. The vote was
81 to 7, with 16 abstentions.
His principal task will be to try
to get a peaceful adjustment in
Palestine.
In April, 1945, Heinrich Himmler
approached Count Bernadotte with
German offer to surrender to
Britain and the United States.
The nobleman conveyed the offer
to those powers but they refused,
insisting that Germany must sur
render to Russia also. This was
done a few days later.
Appeal Made for Peace.

Consular Truce Commission reported
from Jerusalem today that nothing
short of United Nations force could
stop fighting in the Holy City.

president. Similar reports on the
gravity OF the situation in Jerusalem
and the need for international pres
sure to stop fighting were read In

of achieving a truce, said the only

Into Zone Of Reich
By the Associoted Press

BERLIN, May 21.-American oc-
cupation authorities retaliated to-
day against Russian border r-crossing
taboos. They restricted the entry of
Soviet missions to the American
zone of Germany to single frontier
point.
American officials said last nights
ruling was made by European COM
mand headquarters at Frankfurt
because the Russians decreed that
the American military mission sta
toned at Potsdam could cross into
the Soviet zone only at Helmstedt.
The Americans responded by not
flying members of the four Rus
sian missions in the American zone
that they, too, could cross only at
Helmstedt.
Helmstedt is in the British zone
on the Soviet border and is on the
highway linking Berlin with the
west. ss.s go =
The American mission previously
was allowed to cross the Soviet zone
border at any point.
American authorities emphasized
that the action does not mean a
closing Of the border between the
United States and Soviet zones.
They called 1t merely reciprocal
move affecting only official Soviet
missions.
The American Military Govern
ment in Berlin announced that Ger
mans in the American sector will be
protected against molestation and
intimidation" by persons seeking
signatures for Communist-in-
spired national plebiscite on q uni
fed Germany.
The petitions already had been
banned in the western section of
Germany. The announcement said
the plebiscite is needless and
pointless.''
