Turning its' back to the Holy
Land truce, Egypt this week
struck at Jewish positions at
Hir Asluj in southern Pales-
tine with tanks, planes and

infantry.
Moshe Shertok, Israeli for-
eign minister, informed United
Nations truce observers that
Arab breaches of the present
armistice were becoming "in-
tolerable."
Ile said that the Egyptian
violations must stop immediate-
ly or Jewish counter-attacks
might spread to the entire
southern front.
CAN'T BE TOLERATED
"It is quite clear that this
state of affairs cannot endure
for long," Shertok said. "These
Unilateral attacks keep contih-
uing and we won't tolerate them
much longer."
He told a press conference
that the Egyptian action showed
why Israel did not want an
indefinite truce.

man said.
FAIL TO ADVANCE
Shertok said that strong Is.
raeli counter-attacks had pre.
vented any dents in the Jewish
lines.
Meanwhile, England told the
UN Security Council that fight-
ing in Palestine has displaced
more Arabs in the Middle East
than there are Jewish DP's in
Europe.
Sir Alexander Cadogan, Brit-
ish delegate, asked the council
to take steps to repatriate the
more than 250,000 Arab refu-
gees who abandoned the Jewish
sectors in Palestine during the
fighting. His plea met with
little success.
Answering his request, the
council added to the Arab case

Europe plus that of the" Jews

The foreign minister also said

He proposed an indemnity of
$100,000,000.
MAY JOIN STATE
Jerusalem, the newer part of
which is now under the laws and
authority of Israel, may become
part of the Jewish State, S .her-
tok said. He pointed out that
Jerusalem, which, with the ex-
ception of the walled Old City,
is almost entirely Jewish, must
necessarily have a central gov-
erning administration or the sit-
uation there would become very
complicated.
As regards the Arab demand
that 300,000 Arab refugees who
fled the territory of Israel at the
outbreak of war be allowed to
return, Shertok, conceding that
there was a humanitarian ele-
ment involved, stated that until

While war is still imminent,

inviting "a fifth column."
