UNO FACES CRISIS IN
PALESTINE
By JAMES E. ROPER
skirmishing between Jews and Arabs develops into n full-senle shooting war in the Midle East, lie United Nations probably will face its most serious crisis.
The UN. gambled, when it voted to partition Fales- tine, that a major confllet would NOT come.
Should it come, the UN, might pass resolutions and issue ordern, but it has no force to back up the orders. The U.N. Charter states that U.N. members shall put men and guna at the disposal of the 11-nation Security Counell. The Council could order this force into action in Palestine, except that it has not been formed.

smaller U.N. members, less directly concerned with the world balance of military power. Speakers have used the international force assembled by the League of Nations to notice the Saur plebeselfe as an example.
Almost everyone at U.N. hendquarters believes the Security Council will be wrestling with the Palestine question within few months.
