Senior Judge, U. S. "District Court for Eastern Federal

Homer Ferguson. Senator Van-
denberg states:
"It ..goes without saying _that I
fully understand the spirit in

which..you have telegraphed me.

I-agree with you that the- United
Nations' Security Council: should
give immediate attention to im-
plementing the new Palestine
partition decision. Inasmuch as
the United Nations now has com-
plete jurisdiction I would not
think that the United States
could act unilaterally in any
phase of the problem. But. I
agree that 'the "United Nations'
SecUrity Council should give im-
mediate attention to the situation
to which you refer and I have so
'indicated to our Goverriment."
Senator Ferguson's reply reads:
"There seems to be but one
answer to this question and that
is plat thee - United Nations, which
has made Partition, and which
action I supported, will by neces-
sity- be compelled to carry out
the mandate. If the United Na-
tions is to function, ;we must give
arrtagei
it a trial."
