BY the Assoeiufsd Press

JERUSALEM, Mar. 20.-Pales-

brew republic as an answer to
United States abandonment of
PARTITION, an informed Jewish
source said today.
Then ut will be up to the United
Nations to recognize it, ignore it OR

Jewish leaders are meeting in Tel
Aviv. A framework for a Jewish
government already exists. 1t is a
32-member provisional council es-
tabliShed several weeks ago By the
Jewish Agency and the Jewish Ma
tional Council (Vaad Leumi). Ha-
ganah, the Jewish militia, says it is
ready and able to take and to hold
Jewish sovereignty in predominantly
Jewish areas of the Holy Land.
Both Arabs and Jews turned
thumbs down on the United States
proposal Of trusteeship for Palestine.
Both said they will fight on, and a
Jewish-Arab warfare continued.
Arabs hailed the American aban-
donment of partition. Secretary
General Abdel Rahman Azzam
Pasha of the Arab League said the
American action was wonderful. He
said Justice Always prevails in the
long run"
"We always wanted peace, but I'm
afraid the Zionists will lose their
heads" Azzam Pasha said. They
will fight. If the Jews fight, we will
accept the challenge"
Azzam Pasha told news con-
ference in Beirut, Lebanon, that
Arabs would agree to a short, def
nitely limited trusteeship period,
but if they're going to shelve inde-
pendence for Palestine indefinitely,
then we will never agree to that"
He said 1t is even possible to reach
agreement with the Jews.
THE Jews are our cousins and
it is the foreign interference in the
Palestine question which has
brought bad relations" he said.

always find way out" Azzam

BERLIN, Mar. 20.-The British

German volunteers are rushing to
enlist in a mythical German army
which the Russian-controlled press
alleged is being recruited by the
western powers.
The Russian propaganda appar-
emily had boomeranged.
Earlier this week Russian-con-
trolled German newspapers and ra-
dio stations broadcast a tass (offi-
cial Soviet agency report which
was attributed to the CZechoslovak
press. This report claimed that
Gen. Lucius D. Clay, the American
military governor, had submitted
plans to Washington for building =
German army of 100000 men in
western Germany.
The Tass report alleged that this
should be q regular army for the

III. S. Radio Voice
To Eastern Russia
Is Being damned
BY the Associated Press

MANILA, Mar. 20.-Mysterious
radio transmitters have been black
ing out Voice of America broadcasts
destined for Eastern Russia and the
Orient the last three weeks. it was
learned reliably today.
The jamning is so thorough and
so many transmitters are used that
experts here suspect some of them
may be aboard ships at sea.
American direction finders on
land and sea are trying to track
down the source of the interference.
Sources at Gen. MacArthur's S
headquarters in Tokyo confirmed
the report.
The tanlming begins when United

start. These are beamed for the
powerful USIS radio station at

Manila. Malolos then relays the
broadcasts on to the Orient. The

$4,000 Increase in
Air Force Personnel
Aides Soy Present PIons
Do Not Call for More in
Navy and Marine Corps
By John A. Giles

A $4,000 increase in the man
power ceiling of the Air Force
may be asked by Secretary of
Defense Forrestal next week, his
aides said today.
While no final decision has been
made, plans now do not call for
any increase in the authorized
strength of the Navy or the Marine
Corps, they added.
Mr.. Forrestal already has told the
Senate Armed Services Committee
that the Army wants its strength
set at around 00,000 compared with
the current 669, 900.
The Air Force strength is now set
at 401 900 under the separation
agreements with the Army of last
September. Defense officials now
favor increasing this to 45o00 off,
GERS and men.
Closed Session Monday.
Mr.. Forrestal and his assistants
expect to work on plans over the
weekend. But there was little like
lhood that details of the requests
for increases in strength or the tenn
porary draft asked by President
Truman would be available for pre-
sentation by the defense chief to
the Senate committee at a closed
session on Monday.
Both Mr.. Forrestal and Secretary
OF State Marshall will appear at
the executive session of the COM
mittee, Chairman Gurney an
nounced late yesterday.
The specific draft bill is the least
OF our worries-it is the details of
the complete program that takes
time-and that probably won't be
ready for presentation to Congress
before the latter part Of next week"
an assistant to Mr.. Forrestal SAID.
The draft bill is expected to ex-
empt National Guardsmen and re-
servists and place married men high
on the deferred list.
While no announcement has been
made as to what was decided by Mr..
Forrestal and the Joint Chiefs of
Stan at their Key West meeting last
week end, it is likely that some de-
clslon was made on the future role
OF the Marine Corps. The Army
has always maintained that the ma
ton did not need two armies and
that the functions of the Marines
should be restricted.
1t Is expected Mr.. Forrestal will
make some announcement of the
Key West decisions next week.

Marshall and Forrestal had not

President Lost Votes
In Holy Land Stand,
Democrats Concede
Coneressmen Protest
About-Fuce on Partition
With Few Exceptions
BY the Associoied Press

The administrations about
face on Palestine stirred up a
storm in Congress today with a
threatened political backlash
against President Truman.
With few exceptions, lawmakers
condemned in vigorous language the
American move to shelve partition
ing OF the Holy Land and seek a
United Nations trusteeship.
And Democrats conceded private
ly that MIR. Truman-as the man
responsible for the action-lost po-
litical ground in the big cities,
where there are many supporters of
the Jewish homeland proposal.
Some thought the action would
make votes for Henry Wallace s
third party bid for the presidency.
Others were inclined to believe the
Republicans would reap any har-
vest Of this kind.
Russia. Oil Believed Factors.
Russia and oil were believed to
be the two factors in the minds
of United States policymakers when
they decided to reverse this coun-
try,s position.
No comment was forthcoming
from the White House or State De-
partment. Secretary of State Mar
shall, who was in California, also
refused comment.
But it was evident that the orig
inal decision to support partition
was made in the hope that if the
Arab nations were confronted with
the full prestige of the United Ma
tions they actually would not resist
the plan to split the Holy Land up
into Jewish and Arab states.
What actually happened was that
Arab opposition stiffened and vio-
lence has been frequent.

would have to be used to maintain

ried out.

Russians Likely to Be Losers
Whether They Accept or Reject

Votes in ItoIy or
Jeopordize Tito
By Constantine Brown

The unexpected proposal of
the American, British and French
governments for restoration of
the Trieste territory to Italian
sovereignty Is considered one of
the smartest diplomatic moves
the big Western powers have yet
made in the present cold war.
The Soviet government, caught
unawares, is definitely at a dis
advantage.
If Moscow refuses to consider our
proposition, the chances of the
Communists obtaining a large pro-
portion of the vote In the April 10
Italian election will be greatly re-
duced. If Russia agrees to consider
our proposalf Tito's position may
be seriously jeopardized, and the
U. S. R. stands a chance of losing
her important strategic hold in the
Adriatic.
Since last December, italian Com
munists have been exploiting the
Soviet's demand that all the Italian
colonies in North and East Africa
be returned to the Italian people.
They denounced violently the greed
of the capitalistic powers which
wanted either to take these lands
over for their own benefit or wanted
to place them under the trusteeship
OF the United Nations which the
Russians explained would be the
same thing. This return the COL
onies to the Italian peoples" was a

Soft coal operators today petit

an umpire" for their dispute
with John L. Lewis over a miners
pension which led to the current
Nationwide mine walkout.
Specifically, Ezra Van Horn, the
operators trustee for the United
Mine Workers welfare and retire.
ment fund, asked the court to ap-
point third and neutral trustee for
the fund. Mr. Lewis Is the UNIV
trustee.
The neutral trustee named in the
contract, Thomas E. Murray of New
York, resigned in late January with
sharp criticism of both Mr.. Lewis
and Mr.. Van Horn for blocking
the use Of the welfare fund which
totals over $4,000, 900.
Lewis to Attend Meeting.
The court move came few hours
after Mr.. Lewis reluctantly accepted
a Government invitation to meet
with the operators on Monday in
an effort to settle the six-day coal
strike. The UNIV chief held out
little hope, however, that the ses.
sion will result in a settlement.
Mr.. Van Horns petition, filed by
Attorneys Charles Horsky and Adam
c. Maxwell, also asked the court to
be ready to help straighten out any
further legal matters which may
arise over the welfare and pension
issues.
Both Mr.. Lewis and the operators
have expressed the belief that the
pension dispute could be settled If
they could obtain neutral trustee,
who, Mr.. Lewis said, would be vir-
tually the arbitrator of the issues
between them.
Provided for in Contract.
Provision Is made in the contract
between the coal industry and the
union for petitioning District Court
to select trustee and help the par
ties straighten out any legal dis
putes which may arise over the well
fare and pension fund.
Mr.. Van Horns petition declared
Mr.. Lewis had refused to suggest
any names as successor to MFR.
Murray, and that he had failed to
act on list submitted by the oper-
ators. 1t stated that agreement be-
tween them on a neutral trustee
is unlikely because "of the conduct
of Mr.. Lewis in causing the
strike. ="
The petition was fled few min
utes before the court clerks office
closed for the week end.
Invitation From Ching.
The invitation to the Monday
meeting came from Cyrus S. Ching.
head Of the Federal Mediation and
Cancellation Service. There has
been no acceptance yet from the
operators.
Mr.. Lewis said Representative
Committee from the UNIV would
be on hand, but he added:
TT is preposterous to assume that
any progress will be made at your
Monday meeting. as these men me
gotiators for the operators) merely
carry out the instructions Of their
principals"
Mr.. Lewis said he agreed to attend
the meeting out of desire to avoid
any discourtesy" to Mr.. Ching.
Mr.. Van Horn had asked Mr..
Lewis to join him in asking court
help on the pension dispute, but the
UNIV head failed to answer him.
