Troop Proposal Stirs
Speculation on U. 5.
Force for Palestine
by the Assoeiefsd Press

LAKE SUCCESS, April 6.-An
American suggestion that foreign
troops be prepared for Palestine
duty touched of speculation today
whether the United States is willing
70 send soldiers.
Warren r. Austin, American dele
gate, made the troop proposal In
formally to United Nations Security
Council delegates yesterday in out
lining 15-point explanation of the
American trusteeship plan for the
Holy Land.
Mr.. Austin did not commit his
Government to participate in the in
transitional force, nor say which
countries should dispatch soldiers
He said only that such states as
would be specified in a special agree
u1ent should accept the burden OF
keeping the peace In embattled Pal
astine. They would send troops II
necessary.
Military Is Key Item.
The military proposal was the key
atem in the Austin statement, which
spokesmen described as a series of
principles and suggestions.
The program was rejected imme-
diately by the Jewish Agency and
the Arab Higher Committee, respec-
tive spokesmen for Palestine Jews
and Arabs.
Russias Andrei A. Gromyko re-
fused even to listen to the proposals.
On the basis Of the Soviet Unions
tnsistence on sticking to partition,
his answer is expected to be no, too.
After hearing Mr.. Austin the
other delegates pocketed copies and
asked their governments for in
structions. Another private session
In Mr.. Austin's New York office was
set for tomorrow morning. Special
invitations have been extended to
MT. Gromyko and VASTLY A. Tara
senko Of the Soviet Ukraine. who
boycotted the first meeting.
Other Points Covered.
The American program also COW
cred these points:
!. The U. N, through the Trus-
teeship Council, would be the ad-
ministering authority. A govern
ment Of Palestine would be set UP
under q u. disappointed governor
general. The people of Palestine
would elect a legislature.
2. The agreement should make
specific provisions for immigration
and land purchase.
8. The trusteeship would termi-
nate as soon as a majority of the
Jews and Arabs agreed on q plan
Of government. (The Arabs now
hold q two-to-one edge in popula-
&ion.)
American spokesmen said Mr..
Austin hoped to have at least part
Of his program approved by the
Security Council before the special
session Of the General Assembly on
Palestine, which opens April IS.
