Trusteeship Council
Considering Regime
For Jerusalem
GENEVA (JTA)—The UN Trusteeship
Council, which is currently considering a
draft statute for an international regime
in Jerusalem, agreed that immigration into
the city shall be placed under the control
of the UN governor. The governor would
receive his instructions from the Council
which would take into consideration the
absorptive capacity of the city and the
equality of religious communities when it
sets quotas.
It also was decided that Arabic and
Hebrew would be the official working
languages of the administration. In the
event that another becomes necessary
the authorities are authorized to use one
of several other possible languages as an
official tongue.

noted that such a plan would weight the

both as Moslems and as Christians. When
only the New Zealand delegate supported
him, the American dropped the issue.

TEL AVIV (JTA)—A spokesman for the
Israel government said that the govern-
ment will abstain from making any com-
ment on Sweden's charge that the Israel
authorities have been negligent in investi-
gating the- assassination of Count Folke
Bernadotte, United Nations mediator for
Palestine.
Such comment, the spokesman stated,
will be forthcoming only after the Israel
government receives a full report of Swe-
den's charges. (A report from Stockholm
said that. Swedish State Prosecutor Maths
Heuman, in charging Israel with laxity in
investigating the • murder of Bernadotte,
declared that "doubt must exist as to
whether the Israel authorities really tried
to bring the inquiry to a positive result.")
An official Swedish representative ar-
rived by air from Stockholm to open trade
talks with Israel government officials and
private firms here.
JERUSALEM (JTA)—Arab sources re-
ported that an agreement has already been
signed between Israel and Transjordan
regarding access to the Hadassah Hospital,
on Mt. Scopus, which is now in Arab-held
territory. The report appeared in an Arab
newspaper published in Nablus. Well-in-
formed Israel circles said that they were
unaware of any such agreement.

TEL AVIV — (ISI) — Eliahu
Sasson, Israel's Minister to An-
kara, has been officially in-
formed by the Turkish Foreign
Minister that Turkey's decision
last November to exchange dip-

Israel constitutes de jure recog-
nition of Israel. Turkey is the
first Moslem State to recognize
the Jewish State.
It is reported that another
Moslem State, Iran, soon will

A top flight Turkish soccer
team arrived in Israel this week
on the invitation of Hapoel. The
sixteen-man team, accompanied
by four officials and two news-
papermen, is playing in Tel Aviv,
Petach Tikvah and Haifa
against local Hapoel teams. They
may also appear in Jerusalem.
Six of the players are on the
national Turkish "11" and the
team is considered one of the
top three in Turkey. The visi-
tors were received by the Tur-
kish Legation, the Ministry for
Foreign Affairs and the Mayor
of Tel Aviv.

The Council left the enfranchisement

ceeded to a preliminary discussion of the
powers of the proposed UN governor.
Iraq, the Dominican Republic and the
Philppines argued against an article of
the draft statute permitting the governor
to suspend the legislature in time of cri-
sis. They were opposed by the three ma-
jor colonial powers on the body: Britain,
France and Belgium.
