Security Council Resolutions
JEWS GIVEN HINT
Lake Success, Mar. 29.-The American delega- tion to the United Nations has been instructed to press in the immediate future for a truce in Palestine and a special session of the General Assembly, a delegation spokesman said here today.
No decision had been taken on the submission to the Security Council of the American proposal for trusteeship, he added. This was taken as indicating that the United States might not bring the trustee- ship plan before the Security Council, but, might wait until the Assembly was called.
The United States was stated here to be ready to submit to the Security Council tomorrow two resolutions -one containing President Truman's call for
ย truce and the other calling for a special Assembly session. The report that Britain might at Lake Success, the spokesman deelle to stay on In Palestine was added: "We would also welcome reiterated today by the pro-Zionist any move on the part of Arabs to newspaper, the New York Post preserve the peace of Palestine and we would not care from which source these moves come, as long as we can absolutely rely on them."- Associated Press.

REVIVAL OF MILITARY
LEND-LEASE
PREDICTED
Washington. Mar. 29-A re- vival of military lend-lease to Britain and other members of the Western European Union is being discussed by officials in Washington and is one of the most frequently debated topics of leading newpaper columnists.
The Secretary of State, Mr George Marshall, declined last week to comment on the sub- ject, except to say that over a considérable period of time the United States had received re- quests from the French Govern- ment for equipment.
Military lendlease is regarded by some observers here as the next stage in the Truman Doctrine of "containing" Soviet expansion.
