'MEMORIAL DAY,

LAKE SUCCESS, L.
(Special)—The first world-

the Palestine problem opened
Monday when the United Na-

11 neutral states convened
for its first session.

tional Assembly).

WILL HEAD INQUIRY
Justice Emil Sandstroem of
Sweden was expected to be the
choice of the 11 jurists and dip-
lomats who head the commission
for the post of chairman. The
committee must have its recom-
mendations completed before Sept.
1 for the full Assembly which will
meet Sept. 16.
A Jewish and an Arab member
of the United Nations staff were
barred from being members of
the commission's secretariat by
Trygve Lie, secretary general.
Both had been told that they
would accompany the committee
to Palestine but when the list of
staffmen was submitted to Lie
for epproval, he crossed. out the
two names.

CANADIAN BARRED
Lie is concerned about the
makeup of the secretariat and he
apparently was leaning over back-
wards in the situacron.
The Jewish chief servant barred
was William Epstein of Canada
who had been with the UN since
January, 1946. He was a captain
in the Canadian army during the
war and served overseas.
Epstein and his Arab colleague
pointed out to Lie that his deci-
sion jeopardized their status as
international civil servants and
that, moreover, British subjects
had been included on the secre-
tariat.

Arab people, as distinguished from
those of the Arab politicians, can
be safeguarded most effectively
through Jewish immigration, Jew-
