Britain Will Tell i
U. N. Plans For
Quitting Palestine
LAKE SUCCESS. (^—Inform
ed quarters said today Britain in
tends to present to the United Na
tions early this week her plans for
giving up rule in Palestine.
The information will come in
the form of answers to a list of
specific questions submitted by
the five-nation Palestine partition
commission.
Persons close to the commission
said the British replies—assum
ing they are complete—would im
mediately plunge the U. N. body
into the decision stage of its work.
One of the results would be draft
ing of a U. N. timetable, covering
such points as the commission’s
own entry into Palestine.
So far, the commission has been
feeling its way along in prelimin
ary discussions without knowing
the exact British plans for sur
rendering the old league of na
tions mandate. Publicly, the Brit
ish said only that they would give
up their rule May 15 or earlier.
They cautioned the U. N. com
mission to stay out of the Holy
Land until two weeks before the
switchover.
It was understood that British
replies having to do with specific
dates of withdrawal and evacua
tion would be kept secret because
of the tense situation in the Mid
dle East, where Arabs are fighting
partition.

For Conspiracy !

SPOKANE, Wash. </P) — Seven
persons, one of them a former em
ployee of the Hanford (Wash.)

arrest today on charges that they
collected $200,000 from investors
with a scheme for recovering gold

Harvey Erickson reported.
A secret indictment returned
i by a federal grand jury here Jan.
| 19, and made public yesterday, ac
cused the seven of conspiracy,
using the mails to defraud and
violation of the securities act.
It charged that Dr. Harold R.
Rector of Richland, Wash., was
described in the literature dis
tributed by the group as a “key
atomic scientist in the develop
ment of the atomic bomb at the
Hanford project.
Erickson said Rector was a
Richland chiropractor and that
while he worked on the Hanford
project during the war, “his job
was to test water before they put
it in boilers to see that it would
not corrode the pipes.”
