Britain Stands Firm
On Dropping Mandate
Over Palestine MAY IS
BY the Assoeicfsd Press

LONDON, Mar. 20.-The Colo
nial Office announced today
Britain stands pat in its deter
mination to surrender the Pales-
tine mandate May Is.
British troops, the Office said, will
be pulled out not later than Au-
gust l, regardless of the situation
created by the withdrawal of Amer
lean support for partition.
The text of the Colonial Office
statement:
"The new situation created by
the United States proposal is now
being studied in London. Nothing
in the new situation affects the
determination of his majestys gov
ernment to terminate the mandate
not later than May IS and with
draw all our troops by August l."
A Foreign Office spokesman, asked
whether Britain would feel obliged
to participate with other nations
in trusteeship, said that question
will have to be studied.
Only yesterday the House of Com
mons wrote in May Is" as the def
mite date for termination of the
British mandate over the Holy
Land. The bill outlined withdrawal
procedure for the British admins
tration.
Government sources said the an
nouncement to the United Nations
Security Council yesterday by Amer
lean Delegate Warren r. Austin
came as surprise. Mr.. Austin pro-
posed trusteeship instead of parti-
ton for Palestine.
A cabinet review of the situation
is expected Monday. Meanwhile at

Silver Hill Grocer Robbed
OF $500 by Two Bandits

A Silver Hill CMd.) grocer last
night was held up and robbed of
about $500 by two armed bandits
who, police believe, may be the same
pair which robbed him. six months
ago.
Ralph Mishkin, 30, proprietor of
the Silver Hill Market at 1918
Branch avenue, and his wife, Esther.
were preparing to close the store
about $50 pm. when the men
entered. One of them pulled out a
gun and ordered Mr.. Mishkin to
open the cash register and a safe.
After the bandits took tire money
from the safe and cash register, they
made their getaway in an old car.
Mr.. Mishkin described the men as
wearing blue, knitted Navy skull
caps pulled over their ears, and
dirty grey satin jackets trimmed
with red. One man was about
feet inches tall, weighing about
100 pounds, and the other was
slightly taller and plump.
Police said MIR. Mishkin told them
the taller man resembled one of two
bandits who six months ago pulled
a similar holdup at his store and
