U. S. Simplifies Plan
To Win Over U. N. on
Palestine Trusteeship
lr th> Asieciatcd Pr«>
NEW YORK, April 24.—The Amer
ican delegation agreed today on a
simplified formula to put the United
Nations on record in favor of a trus
teeship for Palestine.
A spokesman for the American
delegation said the new strategy
would follow these general lines:
1. The United States would first
try to get the 58-nation Political
Committee of the General Assembly
to agree that the U. N. would be
come the responsible authority in
Palestine when the British mandate
i ends May 15.
2. If the committee accepts this
principle, the United States then
would seek an agreement that a
trusteeship is the only type of United
Nations rule provided for in the
U. N. Charter.
3. With these basic issued decided,
Assembly could get down to work
on the details of a trusteeship plan.
This could follow the lines laid down
in the American working paper now
before the delegates, or it could be a
simplified stop-gap plan to be used
.until a long-term scheme could be
worked out.
Time is Big Element.
With the end of the British man
date only three weeks away, time
was the big element in the Palestine
discussions, which continued here
over the week end. As a result,
there was an increasing tendency to
concentrate on emergency action.
This trend was reflected both in
the Security Council’s decision last
night to set up a three-nation Pales
tine Truce Commission and in the
Political Committee's decision to
give top priority to a French move
to safeguard the holy places of Jeru
salem.
The Truce Commission—composed
of the United States, France and
Belgium—Is expected to begin dis
cussions Monday with Jewish and
Arab representatives in an effort
to get them to observe the Security
Council's cease-fire order of April 17.
The Political Committee is ex
pected to give quick approval to the
French proposal which calls on the
U. N. Trusteeship Council to recom
mend an emergency security plan
1 to protect Jerusalem.
Emergency Steps Pressed.
While U. N. delegations are busy
here with these emergency measures,
efforts are being continued in Wash
ington to line up trusteeship sup
port—especially military backing—in
London and other world capitals.
The American spokesman here
said he could not disclose which
countries, besides Britain and France,
are being consulted regarding troops
to enforce the trusteeship scheme.
The Chinese delegation Issued a
formal statement saying:
"The Chinese delegation to the
United Naflons states categorically
that there has been no negotiation
w’ith the United States delegation in
New York regarding the possible use
of Chinese troops for enforcement
of a trusteeship in Palestine.”

British Pulling Out.
Public services are crumbling, as
the British pull out faster than an
ticipated. British army headquar
; ters began moving out today in a
'long convoy bound for Haifa. _ 1
In Jerusalem, as elsewhere In |
Palestine at the moment, the mili-1
tary advantage is with the Jews. The
Arabs once had driven the Jews out
of mixed quarters. But Hagana
has fought its way back in some
places and is poised at the peri
meter of others.
Every street of the city is blocked :
by road barriers, some 20 feet high.'
Jewish and Arab tommygunners
j peer over them at every approach
1 ing car or person. Motorists able
to get enough gasoline to drive have '
their cars searched as many as half
a dozen times in a ten-minute trip.
Doors Cemented Shut.
Many markets in mixed areas are
cementing shut their doors and
windows. Business has all but col-!
lapsed. Mail still comes through
weeks late. Telegrams to Tel Aviv
and Haifa take as much as five
days. By next week there may be
only a couple dozen British officials,
here. Three dozen foreign corres
pondents face loss of their cable
link with the outside world soon.
The consular corps of a dozen
nations are evacuating women staff
members.
j The main attention of political
quarters was directed to Amman.
Trans-Jordan capital, where the
Arab League s military council was
meeting with King Abdullah to de
cide when and whether to send
Arab national armies into Palestine.
Gen. Ismael Sawfat Pasha, for
mer Iraqi war minister and now
commander-in-chief of the Arab
army of volunteers, freely admitted
publicly at the meeting that present
Arab forces in Palestine are incap
able of saving the situation for the
Arabs.

pers set the charge that blasted a 90-year-old windmill over
looking the Monteflore section of Jerusalem April 15. Hagana
troops had used the windmill for a military post and had con

onstration at the league headquar
ters during the day.
Catastrophes Cited.
A1 Balagh. organ of the powerful
Wafdist Party, declared:
'We can no longer suffer one cata
strophe after another. Zionism in
Palestine means no Arabs will be
left. Is this realized by leaders who
fly from one place to another, meet
and then adjourn to dine and take
secret decisions that remain forever
secret?"
The politically independent A1
Zamane said:
"We can no longer bear to hear
what happened today in Haifa and
what may happen tomorrow in
Jaffa. Arab countries had pinned
their hopes to the Arab League.
We were told—wait and you will see
the flag of Arabism waving over
Palestine. But Palestine cities are
disappearing one after another
while we still are making speeches
and promises. Arab countries are
raging and demand to know what
the Arab League will do.”
Resentment Widespread.
Arab- reaentment - against the
league's Palestine t»0lidy #as re
ported widespread not only in
Egypt but in Syria and Iraq where
protest strikes have occurred.
The main point of the policy has
been that the seven countries in
'the league would not intervene di
rectly in the Palestine fighting be
fore the end of the British mandate
May 15.
. Volunteers from the various
Arab states already are in Palestine.
Those volunteers have sustained
virtually an unbroken series of de

"We must thus be especially care

this.’’

He said Communists, like Fas
cists, can never be trusted.
•'I wish to underline our desires
to treat the Communist party on an
equal footing with all other parties,
but the Communists themselves take
other ground when they threaten to
resort to violent methods and make
preparations for this purpose," Mr.
Scelba continued.
He said the government hoped to
take the big Communist-led Gen
eral Confederation of Labor out
of politics.
Communist leader Palmiro Tog

refrain from violence, but incidents’
continue to be reported In various
parts of Italy.
i A dispatch from Venice said two
unidentified men broke into a navy
arsenal there early today, scuffled
with guards and fled shouting:
"Sooner or later the arsenal will
blow up.”
It was the sixth attack in the
last week against Installations of
Italy’s armed forces. Government
authorities in Rome have been non
committal about the attacks, call
ing some of them false alarms and
minimizing others.
In Torremaggiore near Foggia,
another report said, carabineirl
broke up groups of Communists and
arrested Pasquale D'Alessandro on
a charge of trying to start a rebel
lion against local authorities. There
were other arrests in the same gen

In Modena in the north Luigi

Navy Stresses Need
Of Defending Seaways
For Vital Imports
The United States must depend
on the seaboards of the world for
raw materials—come peace, come
war—the Navy said yesterday.
Two wars In the last 30 years
have cut heavily Into the Nation’s
natural resources and one of the
Navy’s main jobs in any future con
flct will be guarding freighters, laden
with manganese, chrome, tin, rubber
and aluminum.
The Navy, in a book prepared for
Its top councils, lists 20 “representa
tive raw materials’ brought from
overseas In 1946, and traces United
States “life lines’’ in world charts
for each material.
"The continental United States
is not and has not been self-suffi
cient In all the raw materials neces
sary either to carry on successfully
a modern war, or to maintain a
balanced national economy in peace
time,” the book's foreword declares.
Shortages Listed.
“While we are rich In certain
natural resources, we do not have
within continental North America
adequate supplies: of manganese
and chrome, Imperative In the man
ufacture of steel; of tin, a requi
site for engine bearings; of rubber,
Indispensable to our automotive
transportation systems: of bauxite,
basic in the manufacture of alumi
num; and of a number of other es
sential materials.
“It is vital for the United States
to keep open the sea lanes over
which these supplies come from far
distant places."
The book makes no mention of
stockpiling of critical materials,
I which Is planned to prevent the
I United States running out of essen
tial supplies in wartime.
I A study of the charts reveals that
all or nearly all of 10 of the 20
'essential materials are procured in
the Western Hemisphere. The re
mainder come largely from Africa,
the East Indies and the Far East.
European Imports Small.
Small quantities of only three
ores are imported from Europe, and
i presumably would be cut off in case
of conflict on that continent.
Chrome ore comes from Russia
and Turkey (14.2 per cent); man
ganese ore from Russia <13.6) and
tungsten from Britain, Spain,
France. Portugal and The Nether
lands (8.6 per cent).
Most of the United States’ chrome
ore and manganese is imported
from Africa and India (50.6 per cent
, and 56.8 per cent respectively); most
of its tungsten from South America
(47.2 per cent).
The petroleum chart showed no
imports from the strategic Persian
Gulf area, where the Navy has been
drawing fuel for its ships for years.
Navy Oil Not Shown.
The Navy took about 22,000,000
barrels from the Persian Gulf in
1946, an official said, and is buying
at about the same rate now.
He explained the Navy's oil was
not shown on the charts since it
was used directly in the ships and
was not actually imported into the
United States. No other essential
material was handled this way.
Total United States procurement.
in 1946—domestic production plus
tmports—was 1.824,883,429 barrels, of'
which only five per cent was im-;
ported—from Mexico and South
America.
Theodore Haertel Quits

Theodore G. Haertel, until re
cently European director of the

vision, Commerce Department, has

terday.
Mr. Haertel. who was chief of a

George Hannaum. director of the

Reich Art Show Closes Today;
MPs Guided 922,000 Through
It will be like the end of a
campaign tonight for the soldier*
who have guarded the German
owned art treasures and directed
nearly one million people through
the National Gallery of Art.
The military police on duty there
—even the infantrymen among them
—never saw quite such a show as
the sight of 922.987 persons trying:
to se? the exhibit.
At 10 p.m. today the Army will
declare the show officially ended,
regardless of any delay that might
I arise in deciding whether the 202
paintings will go back to Germany
immediately or remain in this
country another year. The show
opened March 17.
One sergeant of the special mili
tary police detail is certain the
j Yankee troops who “liberated” the
old masterpieces from the depths
: of a salt mine near Merkers, Ger
many, had no idea what they were
starting back in April, 1945.
The sergeant, who didn't win the
ribbons on his chest in an art gal
lery, took to the strange duty with
a broad grin.
Cite* Clay's Promise.
He likes to meet the great Ameri
can public, he said, and the more the
merrier. “After all," he remarked,
“they paid for the war, and they're
; still paying.
“They keep asking me: ‘Sarge, are
we goin’ to keep those pitchers—are
we goin’ to keep ’em?’ I tell them
that's been decided on a higher
level. Gen. Clay promised the Ger
mans we'd give them back. We can
cool them off when they get tough,
but we can’t lie to them, can we?
“All the same, if the American
people want to look at the pictures.
I say let them look for as long as
they want. Plenty haven't got the
dough to come to Washington, but
they ought to have their chance
also. The pictures have really been
packing them in.
“If the Army could fill the re
cruiting stations like they have this
art gallery, the boys on Capitol Hill
could throw the draft bills out the
window!”
Mrs. Ford Sees Show.
A cross-section of the American
public turned out for the show.
There were babes in arms, some
times as many as two clinging to
the frame of one harassed parent,
and babes in smart, aluminum
framed carriages supplied by the
gallery.
There were elderly folk and in
valids in wheel chairs, which also
were furnished by the gallery as
long as they lasted; classes of high
school and art students, bobby
soxers and their escorts in fancy
rags, all rubbing elbows with celeb
rities like Lady Astor, United Na
tions delegates, or the elder Mrs.
Henry Ford.
Mrs. Ford arrived from Detroit
in her special railway car. It was
her first visit to the gallery, but
she knew her way around from
previous study of the layout of the
building and its exhibits.
Braved Flood.
Among the art students who saw
the exhibit were 35 pupils of Ed
ward L. Lanning of Kansas City.
They had traveled two days and
nights by bus, and were nearly
drowned, they said, in the Ohio
Eivar flood.
Agree With Truman Choices. |
Thousands asked to be directed
to "the pictures the President likes.”
The rank-and-file were in general
agreement with the taste of the
Missourian, who once said he
couldn't see the kind of “ham-and
egg art” that looks as if the painter
had thrown an egg at the canvas.
On two visits the President was
particularly drawn to Rembrant’s
painting of Moses; Titan's self
portrait; Holbein's portrait of a
merchant, and several works of
Fran* Hals. People have had to
queue up to see these paintings dur

ing peak hours, and most of the
time the small fry and short of
stature have seen more of their
lellow spectators than they could
see of the paintings.
More than 10 guards and the MP
security detail were answering so
many questions that spectators
lined up to get to them.
“Line up, please; keep moving,
please . . . don't block the door
ways, please,” the guards kept re
peating. It was part of a routine
as tough on the vocal chords as on
the leet.
Ask to explain the enormous pop
ularity of the exhibit, one gallery
official said he felt it due to the
“romantic and dramatic liberation
of the paintings by our troops,”
plus widespread publicity and a
feeling on the part of the public:
that this would be the last chance
to see the collection on this side
of the Atlantic.
One group of high school stu
dents from Pennsylvania got lost
and saw much of the regular gal
lery collection by mistake. Still
others, a bit weary of the same
ness about many of the early reli
gious paintings, visited the regular
collections on purpose.
Two nurses and an attendant in
the emergency station handled
more than 60 first aid cases last
Sunday. They were mostly elderly
persons suffering from dizzy or
fainting spells, although about a
score turned up with blistered feet.
“It’s good, solid duty all right,”
the MP sergeant admitted, "but a
little tough on the dogs!”
Proposed Gas Act Change
Hit as Blow to Consumers
Senator Stewart, Democrat, of
Tennessee said yesterday that pro
posed changes in the Natural Gas
Act would open the way for pos
sible rate Increases costing con
sumers "tens of millions of dollan
annually."
Legislation to make the change*
has been approved by a Senat*
commerce subcommittee. Senator
Stewart criticized the measure in
a minority report as a member of
the subcommittee.
He said it would:
1. "Work a fraud on the public
by deceiving them into believing
that the act • • • would afford
protection against exaction of un
reasonable rates.”
2. Make regulation of the natural
gas industry "a hollow formality."
The other two members of th*
subcommittee, Senators Moore, Re
publican, of Oklahoma and Cape
hart, Republican, of Indiana, voted
for the bill when the group acted
early this month. The full commit
tee is scheduled to consider th*
measure this week.
In 1940, 30.000,000 students of 72
per cent of the United States popu
lation from 5 to 22 years of ag*
were attending school full time.
