It is understood that Colonial
Secretary Arthur Creech-Jones
is scheduled to leave by air for
Flushing Meadow, and will tell
the UN General Assembly that
Britain wants to withdraw its
troops from Palestine if the As-
sembly backs the UNSCOP ma-
jority report without any re-
visions.
The press also states that
Creech-Jones will carry a per-
sonal message from Foreign
Minister Bevin to Secretary of
State Marshall, suggesting that
while whatever decision the As-
sembly reaches is being imple-
mented, there must be some re-
vision of Britain's responsibility
for maintaining the peace in
!Palestine.
It is reported that the cabinet
was disinclined to accept either
the majority or minority UN-
SCOP recommendations as they
stand and feels that some new
solution or a modification of the
UNSCOP recommendations is
necessary. The majority of the
cabinet indicated that they fav-
ored quitting Palestine, but do
not plan any sudden British
withdrawal, but rather a short-
ening of the two-year transition
period recommended by the UN
Special Committee.

Neumann Hears
Report Is ACcepted
NEW YORK (JTA) — Dr.
Emanuel Neumann, president of
the Zionist Organization of
America, termed the reported
decision by the British cabinet
to accept the majority recom-
mendation of the United Na.
tions committee an "encourag-
ing development." (There is no
verification of the report hailed
by Dr. Neumann.)
The Zionist leader, however,
was careful to indicate that it is
not clear from the London re-
ports whether the acceptance by
the British cabinet is tied to con-
ditions, and pointed out that
"everything will depend upon
the nature of such conditions."
He added that if true, the de-
cision of the cabinet affords an
opportunity for all Big Five
powers to act to unison to solve
the Palestine problem once and
for all.
Dr. Neumann spoke at the first
meeting of the recently-elected
national Zionist administrative
council, the ruling parliamentary
body of the Zionist Organiza-
tion between conventions.
The council adopted a reso-
lution appealing to the United
States government to grasp the
present opportunity when the
Palestine problem is being re-
solved before the United Na-
tions, to make good its inten-
tions and declarations in favor
of the establishment of a Jewish
State.
