If under the plan, peaceful efforts at settlement failed the council could move ahead to invoke economic and diplomatic sanctions and throw air, sea and land forces of UN members into action.

The firm tone of the new American proposal contrasted with previous council resolutions which had merely appealed to the Jews and Arabs to stop fighting. Austin said it was clear that the previous council decisions had been ignored. Plan a Surprise announced? to reporters American just plan before was the meeting began. It caused a flurry of excitement in the corridors such as that which followed President Truman's sudden move to recognize Israel last Friday night. Commenting on the Russian recognition, a spokesman for the Jewish Agency said: "We are very pleased.

It is ext: mely heartening to have the United States and the U. S. S. R. once again in agreement on the question of Palestine." The move for action to stop Holy Land fighting brought the United States and Russia closer together in the UN than they have been for months.

The two great powers originally supported the partition of Palestine last fall but fell apart when the United States sought to veer away to a UN trusteeship scheme, which failed to get any appreciable support. Atomic Unit Suspended In another UN field, the U. S. and Russia during the day reached what may be a final disagreement. The UN Atomic Energy Commission voted to suspend all attempts to get together on world atomic control.

The move came after two years of fruitless is efforts to break the American-Russian impasse. Aside from Gromyko's statement, the American Palestine plan was slow in drawing reaction from members of the 11-nation council. Several said they needed instructions from home governments. Austin, however, pushed for a vote. Austin said he also wanted to ask the seven Arab nations, the Arab Higher Committee and the new state of Israel a series of questions about troops, objectives and agreements.

The big five meanwhile was unabel to reach ch immediate agreement on a mediator for Palestine. Acting under General Assembly instructions to name a man, the five delegates discussed two candidates and agreed to wire home for instructions. It was understood that Count Folke Bernadotte of the Swedish Red Paul Van Zeeland, former primier of Balgium, were under consideration. Faris el Khoury of Syria suggested to the council that the question of Israel's legal status should be referred to the International Court of Justice. He said no immediate decision should be taken and that Arabs and Jews should be given 24 hours to consider the American questions.

El Khoury gave the first Arab reaction to the American cease-fire demand when he said: "We have had Security Council resolutions and they have done nothing. I do not believe the resolution before us would do any good." T. F. Tsiang of China also moved have 48 hours to reply to council. The Palestine Partition Commission set up by the Nov.

29, 1947, partition decision of the UN Assembly adjourned finally after a brief meeting today. The commission has held 75 sessions since starting work Jan. 9. U. S.

RECOGNITION OF ISRAEL SCORED President of American University at Cairo Condems Action in Cable to Truman CAIRO, May 17 (AP-President John S. Badeau of the American University at Cairo protested by cable to President Truman today United States recognition of Israel. He opposed also the proposed repeal of the American embargo on arms shipment to the Middle East. He charged the moves were dictated by politics. Dr.

Badeau, veteran of 20 years in the Middle East, said repeal of the arms embargo would be both 'inconsistent with the original purpose of the act and dangerous as in tensifying and prolonging the present a bloody struggle in Palestine." He consulted other American members of the university council before sending his message. He said U. S. Government support for the Jewish state would bring both suffering and probably death to many innocent Arabs and non-Zionist Jews "who have lived together in amity for generations." "It is apparent that this action by the present, government of the United dictated largely by considerations of internal politics and not by sound foreign policy or concern for basic right and justice in Middle East affairs," Badeau cabled. "This is both unrepresentative of the people of the United States and unworthy of our country's long record of interest in justice and freedom.

American citizens long resident in the Middle East and devoted to the best interests both of the Middle Eastern peoples and the United States, we are humiliated by this action and strongly repudiate it. We urged that this action be immediately reviewed and altered by our government." The message said Mr. Truman's recognition of the de facto Zionist government was "unjust to Palestinian Arab rights and prejudicial to the best interests of the United States in the Middle East." The home office of the American University is in Philadelphia. It is supported largely by individual Ariercan contributions and is attended by hundreds of students from Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and other Arabic speaking countries. Palestine- Continued From First Page troops had launched a heavy attack against the Jewish quarter of Jerusalem's old walled city.

A British account of the Jerusalem attack said the Arabs suffered 15 casualties dead or wounded. It added that an Arab spokesman had claimed approximately 20 Jews were killed or wounded. The British account said Arab soldiers were reported to have capHotel in the heart of Jerusalem. tured Barclay's Bank pend Darouti's A number of Stern Group members were reported held captive by the Arabs while Jewish forces were said to be holding the Italian hospital and to have penetrated an Arab school. Fighting in Old City Haganah reported heavy fighting near the Jaffa and Damascus gates to the old city of Jerusalem.

The Israel army said Jewish Agency was informed by Armenian patthe riarch of the walled city that Arabs had stormed into the patriarchate against his protests. Haganah added that Arab forces attacked a branch of the Hadassah Hospital killing one doctor, one nurse, a patient and wounding several others. (In Cairo the Arab Higher Executive office said the Jewish Agency has authorized the surrender of Jews in the old city of Jerusalem to the Arab volunteer command. The surrender terms "have been accepted by the old city Jews," the office added. (The terms, the office said, provide that the Jews give up their arms that men be considered prisoners of war and that women and children be handed over to the international Red Cross.

Arabs Shell City pooled dispatch from American correspondents in Jerusalem dated Sunday said virtually all the heart of the Holy City was in the hands of Jewish fighters after 51 hours of furious street fighting that followed the British withdrawal on Friday. Arab shells were falling into, the city at that time, the dispatch said. (Foreign correspondents in Jerusalem have been cut off from normal communications since the British withdrawal. The pooled dispatch came over facilities made available by the U. S.

Navy.) A communique from Haganah said its fighters drove back Arab attacks in the Samakh area on the southern shores of the Sea of Galilee, and at Gesher, six miles south of Samakh. Gesher was reported previously under enemy air bombardment and artillery fire after its defenders refused a surrender ultimatum. North of the Sea of Galilee Haganah claimed the capture of the police station of Nebu Yusha. This is two miles east of Malikya, the town on the Lebanese border which was attacked on the first day of the proclamation of the Jewish state. Today's air attack on Tel Aviv came just after dawn.

It was aimed apparently at the port area. It was believed that only two planes one a light or medium bomber-passed over the city. Heaviest Air Attack Yesterday low diving fighter bombers hit Tel Aviv three times and in the last attack, late in the afternoon, loosed their heaviest explosives on the northern outskirts. Ambulances raced to the scene. Civil guards hurried to their posts and blocked off traffic on one of the city's main streets.

Later, army trucks and private cars rushed the wounded to hospitals. Officials placed the death toll in raids yesterday and Saturday at 10. For the first time the enemy planes yesterday encountered something like real anti-aircraft barrage, but as far as is known or observed in Tel Aviv the Jews have not yet sent any fighter defense planes. There a complete censorship on up, any reports about a Jewish air force. Meanwhile.

600 additional Jewish immigrants from Europe arrived in the Immigration Minister Shapira said they were nAtoshe the last who had awaited their turn to enter the Holy Land without British visas. "With these immigrants the heroic illegal immigration in chaptece of the British blockade is he said. closed," said about 1,000,000 Jews are ready to immigrate Israel. Half are in Arab states, with the others in German and Austrian camps, Eastern European countries, the United States and South Africa, he said. Shapira said Israel plans to organize the immigration of 250,000 Jews during the next two years.

Preference will be given youths able to help the war effort, he added. Arabs Report Successes CAIRO, May 17 (P)-Arab dispatches said today that Arab armies have penetrated northeastern Palestine in an operation which could determine the control of that fertile region. The area now is claimed by the new Jewish State of Israel. The penetration coincides with an advance the Arab Higher Executive office said the Egyptian army has made in the south to within 30 miles of Tel Aviv, the temporary capital of Israel. A dispatch from the Iraqi army sector in northern Palestine said King Abdullah of Trans-Jordan today had personally directed infantry and artillery attacks.

They were said to have resulted in the capture of the Jewish settlement of Naharayim and the Gesher police post. Abdullah took over personal command during a visit to the front. The Gesher police post and Naa border town, have been obstacles holding up the Iraqi advance for 48 hours. They are situated only a few miles south of the Sea of Gallilee. The dispatch said 300 Jews defended the Gesher post.

A Damascus dispatch quoted military sources there as saying that Arab forces "are pouring" across Jordan River bridgeheads into northeastern Palestine. Syrian and Iraqi columns, the informants said, are deploying for possible, the advances Sea up of the Galilee western and westward through the strategically important Beisan Valley. An earlier report from Damascus claimed an Iraqi motorized force was attacking Tiberias, on the shores of Galilee and one of the major cities of the area. The Arab Higher Executive Committee, quoting a communique from the Middle East broadcasting station, said Syrian and Iraqi troops have joined forces in the Samakh area at the southern tip of Galilee. The town, reported captured by the Syrians, is two and a half miles inside Palestine from both Syria and TransAn Arab informant in Amman, Trans-Jordan's capital, said the both sides of Jordan River about Iraqi army hade made conquests on five miles south of Samakh.

He said infantry units occupied the Rutenberg hydroelectric station in Trans-Jordan where the Yarmuk River joins the Jordan. King Abdullah once said that twothirds Jewish industry Palestine would be crippled if deprived of power from that station. A Demascus said Lebanese troops and irregular Arab volunteers supported by. Syrian aircraft claimed victories the villages of Harawi and Malikya. Situated five miles and slightly north of Lake Hula, Malikwest, ya is on the border dividing northeastern Palestine and Lebanon.

An official Arab military source in Amman said the Egyptian army yesterday occupied El Majdal in the southern Palestine coastal belt. An Egyptian communique, telling of the occupation of Gaza by Egyptian troops two days ago, said the towns- of Rafah, Khan Yunis, Bani Suheila and Deir el Balah were bypassed. All these towns are in the southern coastal belt assigned to the Arabs under the partition plan. Storms- Continued From First Pare the wet weather continues. Some farmers already have their crops up but cannot cultivate them because the heavy rains.

Weeds are beginning show in some farm lands, causing farmers added worries. Wilmington also felt the hail yesterday. Stones fell in some areas of the city during the shower in the afternoon but they were light and melted as soon as they touched the ground. Despite the downpours during the early morning and yesterday afternoon a fall of only .22 inches was ecorded the U.S. Weather Bureau Station at the New Castle County Airport.

"De facto" recognition usually is extended to provisional governments. "De jure" recognition means recognition of a government as the legally constituted authority and ordinarily is followed by an exchange of diplomatic representatives. (Molotov's letter made no mention of "de facto" or "de jure." However, it described the State of Israel as the Jewish looked people's "sovereign state," and forward to a cessful development of friendly relations between the U.S.

S. R. and the State of Israel." President Truman's recognition, announced when the British mandate for Palestine ended, did not mention sovereignty.)

He then quoted from the report of the House Un-American Activities Committee in purported refutation of Stassen's claim. He said the House committee has been doing "a fine, solid American job. It has been doing a fine job exposing the Communists." The report of the committee, Dewey continued, rejected the idea of outlawing the Communist Party for these reasons: 1. It would drive the Communists further underground. We need expose them.

2. Outlawing has not been effective in other countries. 3. We could not criticize other totalitarian nations for actions if we adopt similar measures. "We must keep the Communists in the open so that we can defeat them and what they stand for," Dewey said.

The method of outlawing the party is "Hitler's and Stalin's methods," he added. Dewey claimed the Communists grew in power in those countries that outlawed them. He pointed to Italy under Mussolini, and France under the Nazis as examples of his arguments. which deprives a person of his civil liberties because of religion or because of his racial or political ideas. Stassen's view was that the Communists used the "blessings of legality" to gain power in other countries.

Dewey said a law to outlaw Communism would be useless because there "are 27 acts already" which outlaw "every conceivable form of Stassen, in rebuttal, asked the ernor why, if there were 27 such acts, Communists in New York have not been prosecuted under them. "Why is it," Stassen asked, "that New York, with 9 per cent of the nation's population, has 40 per cent" of its Communists? He claimed that in recent years only one Communist in New York has been prosecuted, and that was in a libel case involving a Communist newspaper. Stassen said the Mundt bill would outlaw the Communist Party because the party aims at "undermining" liberties and "overthrowing" the American government. The bill, Stassen said, would specifically outlaw organizations directed by foreign nations and aimed at overthrowing the United States government.

War Threat, Says Stassen "The Communists are the threat of war," Stassen declared. He said the matter of outlawing the party was not thought-control. The Mundt bill does not violate the Constitution, he added. In his rebuttal Dewey claimed Stassen's only arguments that the bill does make the party illegal were the assertions of Foster. "Mundi himself says the bill does not the party," Dewey said.

"'Therefore, Stassen has surrendered." He claimed the former Minnesota governor actually had told a nationwide audience that he has changed his position on the Communist stand. "The Mundt bill is probably harmless," Dewey said, "although I have my doubts about its constitutionality." He characterized as a "very good provision" the part of the bill which would require Communists and Comfront organizations to regisreunist Stassen said he believed Governor Dewey was "sincere" in his stand on Communism, but accused Dewey of having a "soft" attitude. issue has been termed by Dewey "the major issue of our time" and one upon which the qualifications of a Presidential candidate should be weighed.
