Interests Wrecked
Palestine Partition
By the Associated Press

PARlS, NOV. Z4.-A OOVlet UlOC
delegate said today that British
American oil and military inter-
ests wrecked the United Nations
partition plan for Palestine.
Andrei A. Galagan Of the Soviet
Ukraine told the General Assembly S
No. Political Committee that 1t
should order troops from the neigh
boring Arab states of Egypt, Trans
Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and 1raq
out of Palestine
He said an independent Arab state
should be set up alongside the new
Jewish state of Israel and opposed
giving the Arab section OF the Holy
Land to "the British puppet OF
Trans-Jordan."
British and American oil inter-
ests, Mr.. Galagan said, have planned
pipe lines in the Middle East that
would be carrying 100000 barrels
of oil daily by 1852.
Press Reports Read.
"It is essential for them to get
Middle East OIL" he said. This
may hold up Palestine settlement
They have taken steps tantamount
to wrecking the November 20, 1947
partition plan"
Who are the genuine authors OF
the Bernadotte report?" he asked.
The Ukrainian read reports which
he said were from American maga-
zines and newspapers. These, ne
said, claimed that Robert M. NC
Clintock of the State Department
and Sir John Troutbeck OF the
British Middle East office in Cairo
visited Count Folke Bernadotte on
Rhodes few days before the late
U. N. mediator was assassnateo In
Jerusalem in September.
Galagan said these accounts told
how Count Bernadotte originally
planned to give to Israel that part
of the Negeb desert in Southern
Palestine in which there are Jewish
settlements. Then Mr.. McClintock
and Troutbeck wrote into Berna-
dotte's recommendations the COM
plete exclusion of the Jews from the
Negeb, he said.
Territory Shift Urged.
Count Bernadotte's Palestine re-
port recommended that the Negeb,
given to the Jews under the U. N.
partition, be turned over to the
Arabs instead. He suggested also
that the Jews be given Western
Galilee, originally assigned to the
Arabs by the U. N.
A British resolution, now being
debated by the committee, calls for
putting the Bernadotte plan into
effect.
Count Bernadotte also was under
pressure from the United States and
Britain to keep open the pipe lines
and refinery in Haifa, Galagan said.
He added that British agents
such as Abdullah and Club Pasha
provoked the invasion of Palestine
to prevent partition by force of
arms"
Abdullah is King of Trans-Jordan
and j. B. Glubb Pasha is chief of
the British-subsidized Trans-Jordan
Arab Legion.
Truce Held Ineffective.
The Ukrainian claimed that the
Palestine truce is ineffective and
said:
The Security Council adopted
numerous resolutions to end the
fighting, but all proved to be tooth
less and ineffective because they
did not provide for the withdrawal
of foreign troops from Palestine"
A British spokesman said Britain
may submit revisions to its own
proposal this afternoon.
The United States proposed an
amendment to the British proposal
yesterday that would leave final
territorial arrangements in Pales-
tine up to Jewish-Arab bargaining.

retail coal dealers and six coal COM
panies were indicted yesterday by a
Federal grand jury on charges OF
fixing prices and suppressing COM
petition.
The Kansas City Retail Coal Mer-
chants Association and Burdette
Yeo, its manager, also were named
as defendants.
The indictment charged that a
conspiracy had been in operation in
the Kansas City area since Septem-
ber Is, 1888, to fix, stabilize, main-
tain and raise coal prices"
Federal Judge Albert L. Reeves
ordered the defendants to be sum-
moned to his District Court Monday
for arraignment.
The defendants, the indictment
charged, agreed "on the cash price
which shall be charged defendant
dealers and other dealers in tSe
sales of coal to users for domestic
fuel"
Mr.. Yeo issued a statement, fol-
lowing the indictment, saying:
I'VE cannot understand the basis
of the Government action. Moth
ing has been done which we think
violates any law. 1t is inconceivable
that dealers would attempt to fix
prices in the face of strong COM
petition of natural gas, oil and ex-
