Atlee Admits Truman Uninformed on Assault LONDON (JPS-Palcor)—A tacit admission, that President Truman was not notified beforehand by the British Government of the ac- tion they were planning against Jewish Palestine June 29, was made by Prime Minister Attlee in Commons July 11, in reply to questions by Major Legge-Bourke. Attlee told Major Legge-Bourke that within a' few minutes, June 29, President Truman was given full information by the British Ambassador in Washington. This contradicts a statement by a For- eign Office spokesman that the U. S. Government had been in- formed beforehand but was not consulted. Pressure by American oil com- panies and air lines, and Ameri- can universities in Beirut and Cai- ro for a pro-Arab solution in Pal-. estine has determined President Truman's party managers to pre- vent him from committing him- self and his party to a stand on the Palestine issue which may be fatal to the success of the next election, Richard H. S. Crossman, Labor MP and member of the Anglo-American Inquiry Commit- tee on Palestine, declares in an article in the New Statesman. Anonymous $100,000 Gift Fax Jacksonville Center JACKSONVILLE, .
