Balk British Gift to Mullah

By NATHAN ZIPRIN

TOP-RANKING Washington of-
ficials were alerted over two
weeks ago that Britain was
planning to secretly hand over
$2,000,000 to King Abdullah.
The deal was stopped when dip-
lomatic hints were conveyed to
London that the secret had
leaked out.
The foes of Israel at 10 Down-
ing Street were planning to
block Security Council action.
First because they were re-'
luctant to have the Council
brand the Palestine situation a
threat to the peace, and second.
ly, becaiise they wanted to avoid
an international resolution re-
ferring to the provisional gov-
ernment of Israel as such.

BRITISH SOFTEN

THE BRITISH softened when
their information office in Wash-
ingfbn reported that the brass
hats in Washington had made
peace with the idea that Israel
was there- to stay and that the
European situation demanded
stabilization of the Near East
situation.
The shift was not, of course.
an Ideological one. It was based
on the recognition that Israel
was militarily able to cope with
the Arab states. And, incident-
ally, on the fact that British
information on the war-waging
capacity of Israel had been mis-
leading. . .

With his threatened re-emergence
on the Palestine scene he ill
risk losing his head. The Wash-
ington and London files on his
pro-Nazi activities are complet-
ed. If made public they would
set off a public demand that he
be tried as a war criminal. . . .
The carefully worded report
that Transjordan emissaries had
contacted Israel with a view to
negotiating the Jerusalem prob-

Washington circles whether Ab-
dullah was really planning a

PUPPET OF EGYPT
ABDULLAH is too smart to re-
ly on financial help from Egypt.
This would make him a puppet
of Egypt and shatter his dream
of a larger Syria.
Abdullah would like to incor-
porate into his domain the•krab
Palestine area. He is said to be
willing to go along with the

his job superlatively well.
Most colorful and hardest-working delegate was
Y. Mirski of Poland, chairman of the Lodz branch
of the Central Committee of Jews in Poland. The
two most powerful speeches at plenary sessions were
made by two representatives of Israel, Moshe Sneh
and Zerubovel, both members of the United Workers'
Party.
Nahum Goldmann dominated all the proceedings,
speaking in Hebrew, German, Yiddish, French or
English, as the occasion demanded, and skilfully slid-
ing in between controversial issues.
