LATEST ATTITUDE

New York, Apr. 18.-The United States will not try to solve the Palestine_problem_itself, an American spokesman said today. He said that if several countries cannot agree on joint action there is the possibility that no solution can be found to end the Holy Land controversy.

The spokesman said that the United States will insist in the debates at the special United Nations Assembly on Palestine that other countries must bear their part in any Palestine solution. He said "we will not take the lead alone. We have no inten- tion of getting out in front by ourselves."
