Declaring that the Central Is- rael Fund proposal had been ad- vocated by the Council because it would "represent a mobilization of manpower and concentration of forces" with a "powerful im-1; pact on the whole Jewish com- znunity and give fund-raising for ; Israel a tremendous lift," Freeman asserted that the plan could not be , carried out without the consent of the Jewish Agency and the Zionist organizations and that no such consent has been received. As to the proposal for a com- munity-sponsored national cam- paign organization, Freeman as- serted that the plan was held in readiness in the event of a future emergency, adding that the "blue- print was not drawn up in an- ticipation of a UJA crisis in 1951" and that it was "not intended to displace the UJA" or "as a com- petition to the UJA." Opposition to the Council pro- posals for coordinating fund- •raising for Israel and direct transmission of welfare fund allo- cations to Israel was+ voiced by the Jewish Agency.

( The motion was proposed by the United States, Britain, France and Turkey and amended by China. It recommends that the UN Conciliation Commission act as mediator and also provides that the commission establish an office for the payment of com- pensation of refugees as well as to protect their interests. The General Assembly will `Bar Mitzvah Boy' now be asked to approve the resolution. Peace and stability in the Near East, the resolution said, demand that the refugee question be dealt with "as a matter of urgency." The UN Assembly adopted a similar resolution on Dec. 11, 1948. Thus it was now decided to make another attempt and to work out "such arrangements as may be practicable for the imple- mentation of other objectives" of the measure taken two years ago. What these arrangements may, be will be determined as things de- velop. Russia tried unsuccessfully to kill the conciliation commission because "it has proved incapable of discharging its duty." Moshe Sharett, Israel's foreign minister, informed the commit- tee of his country's willingness to enter negotions with the Arab states and to accept the good of- fices of the commission if that was necessary. The Jordan representative as- serted that no good could come of negotiations until Israel abided by the Arab conception of rights in Palestine. • • • UN REOPENS DEBATE ON JERUSALEM QUESTION LAKE SUCCESS—(Special)— Debate on the Jerusalem question started Thursday in the ..UN Spe+." section of the Jewish Agency, the cial Political Committee.
