UN Must Stop Civil War Violence In
In Palestine
CREECH JONES'S URGENT APPEAL
No Time To Find A
Final Solution
Lake Success, Apr. 23.-The British urged the United States to stop trying to find a final Palestine solution at present. They said the UN instead should concentrate now on action to avert the spread of civil war.
The British declaration was made by the Colonial Secretary, Mr Arthur Creech Jones in the Special Palestine Assembly's 58 nation Political Committee..
In another move closely linked with the same idea, the U.S. formally proposed that the Security Council set up a Belgian-French-American Consular commission in Palestine at once to supervise the unheeded cease fire order voted by the Council last Saturday,
Chief U.S. delegate, Mr Warren R. Austin sub- mitted his proposal;. after British, Arab and Jewish representatives had reported failure to comply with the Council's truce order.
Mr Creech Joncs told the Political Committee the Holy Land conflict is developing into
open warfaro which may endanger world peace unless it can be stopped.
Mr Creech Jones asked..
1. That the Assembly accept the French proposal for the United Na- tions
protection of Jerusalem's peoples and shrines.
2. That ofher nations admit more displaced Europeans thus re- during the pressure of those seeking refuge in Palestine.
Creech Jones emphasised, must Laco this question squarely and honestly.

There has been widespread public. controversy concerning the assassin's ultimate fate. Suggestions had been voiced that he should suffer death by slow torture..
