The announcement can be expected to be read here with satisfaction and relief, since it is not regarded as a worsening of the current East-West situation.

Based on Wallace Proposals This fits into the recent Soviet policy of a public peace proposal which began with the recent ex change between American Ambassador Walter Bedell Smith and "Soviet Minister Viacheslav Molotov and continued with Prime Minister Stalin's statement accept ing Henry A. Wallace's sugges tions as a basis for talks be' tween th United States and the Soviet Union. A comparison of the London and Warsaw statements shows an im portant difference. Whereas the six-nation London conference pro vided for a Western German gov ernment, the Warsaw announcement makes no mention of a counter-move in the form of a gov ernment for Eastern Germany. On the contrary, instead of speaking of counter measures which would further formalize the split over Germany, the Warsaw statement continues to talk of a joint Big Four agreement for the creation of a single German gov ernment and the conclusion of a German peace treaty.

Support of Germans Seen By refraining from announcing a government for Eastern Germany at this time the Soviet union is in a position to continue ac cusing the Western powers of hav ing worsened differences over Ger many by initiating a separate gov- vernment and currency In Western Germany. At the same time the Soviet union is repeating the theme of a single government for a United Germany and the conclu sion of peace with such a united country. Such an approach evidently is expected to win support among Germans, to whom talk of a united country, single government, peace treatv and withdrawal of foreign troops of occupation must make a powerful appeal.

Truce Still Uncertain Egyptians Attack UN Plane Piloted By U. S. Army Flier By Kenneth Bilby Special to the Post-Gazette and th New York Herald Tribune TEL. AVIV, June 25 The United Nations truce in Palestine, contin ued in critical uncertainty Friday as the result of an Egyptian air attack on a United Nations obser vation plane piloted by an Amer lean Army officer.

The Egyptain invasion force also defied an order of count Folke Bernadotte, chief UN mediator, to permit Jewish food convoys in the Negev, and the violation was so blatant that the truce supervisory commission gave the Israeli gov ernment freedom "to act as they think fit" in regard to the Egyp tians. Punitive Action Hinted Following an emergency meet ing Friday afternoon, the Israeli foreign office indicated that the army high command would take punitive action against the Egyp nans, wnose armored column is concentrated on Palestine's southern coast between Isdud and Majdal. The government also ordered a resumption of the black out In Tel Aviv, apparently fear ing further Egyptian air attacks. One UN observer described the Egyptian action as "utterly mal icious." If the Jews attack in the south, as they appear free to do with UN approval, the conflict might spread to all fronts and completely erase the truce, which has two weeks to run. If they fail to fight convoys into the Negev, the isolated Jewish settlements, already under-supplied, will be threatened with extinction.

Charges Truce Broken Colonel Thorde Bonde, chief of the supervisory commission, personally witnessed the Egyptian action. Then he returned to Tel Aviv Friday afternoon and wrote the following note to Moshe Sher-tok, Israeli foreign minister: "The Egyptians have halted the convoy. By decision of the mediator they have therefore broken the truce. Israeli forces are free to act. against the Egyptian forces."
