Truman to Seek Termination Of Arms Shipments to Arabs WASHINGTON — (JTA) — President Truman has assured chairman Adolph C. Sabath of the House Rules C.ommittee that he will put an end to the Bri- tish shipping of arms to the Arab states. Sabath called on the President to ask the Chief Executive's aid in ending the Near East arms race. He informed Eliahu D. Stone, vice president of the Ziohist Organization of America, of the results of the conversa- tion. The 84-year-old dean of the House wrote: "I obtained the President's assurances and was informed that he was presently looking into this important matter and into the report that I gave him. He told me that in view of the fact that all the Jews are vitally interested and have appealed to me to take this matter up with him, he is going to reinforce his ef- forts in stopping this supply- ing of arms by Great Britain to Arab nations. "I think you will be in- terested in knowing that on the way out of the President's office I saw Secretary of State Dean Acheson and mentioned to him that I had seen the President relative to a mat- . ter about which I knew the Secretary was interested in; and further that the Presi- dent assured me t h at he would put an end to this sit- uation. I sincerely hope that both the President and 'Secre- tary of State will bring it home to the British Govern- ment in no uncertain terms." A request by the United States for examination of the Near East arms race by the United Nations Security Countil, or by a special meeting of the UN General Assembly, was de- manded by Rep. Jacob K. Jav- its in the House. The speech highlighted a half-hour special order of business in which di- vorce of American policy from British Near East politics was urged. Rep. Javits charged that the arms race has "at least the tacit approval of our State De- partment." He asserted that Secretary of State Dean Ache- son's stand indicates that up to now we have been "following British policy and using British arguments to justify it." (The State Department last week again sloughed off threats of renewed warfare between the Arab states and Israel. In letters to U. S. Sena- tor Homer Ferguson and Rep. John 13. Dingell, both of Mich- igan, Assistant Secretary of State Jack K. McFall, writing in behalf of Secretary of State Acheson, declared that "the present trend in the area seems to be toward conditions of peace." Stating that Ameri- can policy is based on action by the United Nations Security Council last August 11, when the arms embargo was lifted, McFall wrote: "The U. S. stands by this policy and has been permitting exportation to both, the Arab states and Israel of military equipment which has been considered necessary for maintenance of internal order and to provide for legitimate defense require- ments. The U. S. will continue to receive applications from all governments in the Near East for exportation of mili- tary equipment and will con- sider these applications within the framework of the above policy.") Deny Signing Pact JERUSALEM— (JTA)—A For- eign Office spokesman denied a report from Damascus that a non-aggression pact was signed between King Abdullah of Transjordan and Israel Premier David Ben Gurion aboard a British destroyer, off the port of Akaba. A similar denial was voiced by Foreign Minister Moshe Shar- ett on the floor of the Israel Par- liament. He stated that the Cabinet has no definite agree- ment on this subject before it. Continuing his campaign against the Arab League, King Abdullah of Transjordan said that the Leagus has proved it- self a useless organization. A broadcast over the Transj ordan- controlled Ramallah. radio said that King Abdullah would like to ask the League the three fol- lowing questions: 10 — THE JEWISH NEWS Dr. Lowdermilk To Advise Israel Jerusalem Warning GENEVA —_ (JTA) — Jeru- salem cannot exist economically as a separate body and its forced separation from Israel would mean its "economic death," Aubrey S. Eban, Israel delegate to the United Nations, declared in the course of a 15- minute statement made before the UN Trusteeship Council. After Mr. Eban spoke, he was violently attacked by the repre- sentatives of Iraq and Syria. The latter compared Israel's economic planning in Jerusalem with Hitler's planning for a Nazi-ruled Europe. After a sharp protest by t h e Israel representative, Council Pres i- dent Roger Garreau rebuked the Arabs, expressing r e g r et that he had allowed them to raise political questions at this time and to use "inappropriate language." "In previous articles of the statute you have hypothetically liquidated their (Jeruslaem's) political institutions, repudiated their security agreements, sub- verted their attachments, boiled down their plans, dismissed their allegiance and isolated them from kith and kin," Mr. Eban charged. "Now you propose to decide in the name of religious and spiritual interests how they should run their banks, their export licenses and income tax. And this is to be done by in- flicting an economic siege upon Jerusalem a n d converting it into an economically backward area—a kind of a 'Point Four' in reverse—the economic coun- terpart of. retrogression from major independence to servile tutelage. To us, this appears very strange, very ill-spirited. It cannot be final, international wisdom." The Trusteeship Council de- cided that the principle of equal education for Jews, Mohamme- dans and Christians shall be maintained in Jerusalem and that all the schools shall be supervised by a city authority. The council also decided that the Jerusalem radio stations should be owned by the city and that their facilities should be made available to all three religious communities. The pro- posed legislative council is to be empowered to decide the question of commercial broad- casting. Deadlocked in its attempt. to bring together Israel and the Arab countries in peace talks here, the UN Palestine Concilia- tion Commission, which h a s been in session in Switzerland since January, indicated that its members may proceed early next month to Israel and the Arab countries for on-the-spot discussions with the respective governments on the possibilities of peace. The Trusteeship Council pro - posed that the UN governor of the city, rather than its legislative council, should have the right to appoint diplomatic representa- JERUSALEM — (JTA) — The Government of Iran has extended de-facto recognition to Israel, it was officially an- nounced here.

In view of the military weakness of its member states, how does the Arab League hope to solve the Palestine problem except by direct talks with the government of Is- rael? 3.
