tioning of Palestine and Indi«
confront the United Nations this
week with delegates hoping for
early decisions to halt bloodshed
and strife.
The five-nation Palestine com
mission goes to work in secret
session tomorrow in an effort to
work out plans for enforcing the
general assembly’s Nov. 20 deci
sion to split the Holy Land into
Jewish and Arab nations. The
first major question is when the
commission will go into Palestine,
where Arabs bitterly oppose the
partition scheme.
The Jewish agency wants the
commission to leave for Palestine
at once and get started on open

British insist it should remain
outside until British rule ends.

the mandate May 15 or perhaps
earlier Britain spurns any move

Surplus Explosives
Frozen By W.A.A.
In New York Area
ASBTJRY PARK, N. J. </P) —
undelivered orders of surplus
army explosives were fi*ozen Sat
urday by the New York region of
the war assets administration and
the New Jersey and New York
state police had confiscated from
126 to 135 tons of explosives
which they said had been gath
ered by Zionists for illegal ship
ment to Palestine.
Police said the remainder of a
199-ton consignment of explosives
still was missing.
Three trucks containing 67 tons
of highly-explosive cycl o n i t e
blocks were seized late Friday in
Ulster County, N. Y. This seizure
followed discovery of a cache of
59 tons of explosives in a ware
house here and in a farmhouse in
nearby Wall township Thursday
night and Friday.
Some 5,200 combat knives or
iginally made for the U. S. navy
and a quantity of first-aid kits
also were found in the warehouse.
The freeze order was described
by John R. Campbell, WAA re
gional director, as a “precaution
ary measure” against “any possi
ble illegal handling of explosives,
in cooperation with the normal
police powers of local and federal
governments.”
The uncertainty in the exact
number of tons seized arose when
state police and Monmouth county
prosecutor J. Victor Carton placed
the total confiscated here at 59
tons and navy public relations au
thorities said the batch weighed 68
tons when it was unloaded at the
Earle ammunition depot in Leon
ardo for safe-keeping.
Carton, who described the cy
cloite as being six and a half
times more powerful than TNT,
said the warehouse and farm be
long to Charles Lowy, who, he
said, was a member of the Asbusy
Park Zionist organization.
