PARIS, Nov. 30.-Britain with

Harold Beeley of Britain told the

Folke Bernadotte, the assassinated

The Bernadotte plan would take
the Negeb from Israel and give her

Their military forces now occupy
Western Galilee.
Parallels u. S. Position.
A British spokesman said his
country's new position does not in
dorse the partition plan but gives it
more weight than the Bernadotte
recommendations.
The spokesman said that. in effect,
Britain's position has moved almost
parallel to that of the United States.
The United States has said Israel
should. be given the 1947 partition

more, the State must be prepared
to make concessions.
This is regarded as meaning Israel
cannot have both the Southern

In the interview, Secretary Sawyer
was asked If he thought the stock
market drop reflected the fears of
business for its future under the
Truman program.
He said he didn't know why the
stock market was dropping, but Il
see no reason why business should
be concerned. I know of nothing in
the program of this administration

Berlin Developments
Seen Likely 10 Doom
Plan for Mediation
Red Government Creation
Follows Soviet Approval
Of BromugIio Proposal.
BY the Associated Press

PARIS, Nov. 30.-A new plan
for mediation of the Berlin crisis,
devised by a. man who wouldn't
give up, raised hopes for a trial
by the Big Four, but creation of
a separate city government for
Berlin in the Soviet sector of the
city today appeared to doom be-
forehand any such mediation.
DR.. Juan A. Bramuglia, Argentine
Foreign Minister and retiring presi-
dent of the United Nations Security
Council. is the author of the media
ton plan, which calls for neutral
commission of experts to handle the
technical and procedural phases of
the East-West conflict over dual
currency and the Russian land
blockade
The United States, Britain, France
and Russia would assign their own
representatives to stand by in Paris
for 80 days to give whatever aid the
expert commission might require.
The plan might have saved face
for all, if the Berlin Communist
action had not interfered.
Tried to Get Big Four Together.
DR.. Bramuglia had been seeking,
and failing, to bring the Big Four
together ever since the Security
Council voted October Is to air the
charge of the United States, Brit
ain and France that the Russian
blockade was threat to peace.
He announced that Russia agreed
to his new plan last night and that
he expected formal acceptance from
the United States, Britain and
France today. They have already
accepted in principle.
An American source said the
formula was being referred to WASH
ington and that the Western powers
may reach decision some time
during the day or early tomorrow.
Officials in the American delega-
ton said it was difficult, in the light
of developments in Berlin, to hold
much hope of a final agreement with
the Soviets. They took a gloomy
view of the outlook.
Hope Connally Is Right.
A delegation spokesman was asked
about the belief expressed yesterday
by Senator Connally, Democrat, Of
Texas, incoming chairman of the
Senate Foreign Affairs Committee,
that the blockade would be raised
soon.
I'VE hope he's right" the spokes-
man told reporters.
DR.. Bramuglia is winding up eight
weeks of work on Berlin.
He said he hopes the new media
tion effort can get under way i'm
mediately. He steps down as presi-
dent of the Security Council at mid
night. His successor is Fernand van
Langenhove of Belgium, the Decem-
Der president of the council.
Through DR.. Bramuglia's olive
branch campaign, technical prob
lens would be cleared away and
the quarrel would be reduced largely
to political differences.
This does not mean the situation
could not flare up again. Nor is
eventual success of the experts
study assured.

The Army today cut in half its
proposed January draft call for
10000 men. Lack of money was
given as the reason.
At the same time the Army an
nounced the February call would
be for only 5000 men.
THE reductions were necessitated
by the limitation of the military
budget for fiscal 1850 to $15,00C,-

stock-piling of strategic raw mate

The new draft calls are far below
the 30,000-a month average which
Army Secretary Royal estimated
last June when plans were being
made for the peacetime draft.
The first call for November was
