GENEVA—The United Nations Trusteeship
Council Tuesday morning voted to adopt the inter-
national statute for Jerusalem. The vote on the statute
as a whole was 9 to 0, with two abstentions—the United
States and Britain. _
An Iraqi resolution asking for immediate steps
to implement the statute and for the nomination of a
UN Governor of the proposed international enclave
was rejected. A joint Australian-Belgian-American-
Philippine resolution asking that the statute be for-
warded to Israel and Transjordan with a request for
their cooperation was adopted by 10 to 0, with Britain
abstaining. The measure also provides for the next ses-
sion of the Council, scheduled to be held in June, to
hear a report on the results of these efforts.

Arms Shipment Issue Flares Up Again
.
WASHINGTON—Rep. Jacob K. Javits (R.-N.Y.)
charged in the House Tuesday that the State Department
is waging an "elaborate campaign" to lull the American
people into thinking there is no danger of renewed hostili-
ties in the Near East.
He cited the assurances given by Federal Security
Administrator Oscar R. Ewing Monday night in an add- •
ress before the Histadrut Third Seder in New York City.
Ewing spoke as an administration spokesman, saying that
he represented not only himself but also President Truman.
Javits said; "An elaborate campaign is being waged
by the State Department to reassure the American people
that broad scale shipments of heavy arms like jet fighter
aircraft, tanks and gun boats, by Great Britain 'to • Near
Eastern Arab states, notably Egypt, Jordan, and Iraq, is
not an incitement to a renewal of the Arab-Israel war."
Addressing the meeting Monday night, Ewing said:
"In Israel there is real concern about reports of a
sizeable shipment of arms to some of the Arab countries.
Every nation has a right to its military establishment for
the purpose of self-defense and security against attack.
If that is the purpose of these arms imports, there can be
no valid reason for any one to object. On the other hand,
it would obviously be a serious matter to all free. peoples
if it were to become clear that these arms shipments were
intended not for defense but for attack.
"It is hard to belieVe that any of the nations of the
Middle East could seriously consider any further military
adventures in this tense period in international relations. I
know from my personal observation, that the government of
Israel is intent only on peaceful development within its own
frontiers. I am sure that Israel's neighbors 'have the same
intentions and that they will not be misled into taking any
kind of action which they and we would regret."
Peace Plea:
The proposal of United Nations
Secretary General Trygve Lie for a special meeting of the
Security Council as the first step in a 20-year peace plan,
"merits the most serious consideration" by the world powers,
