The attack was launched shortly after several hundred British troops began street fighting maneuvers in the British zone in what appeared to be a show of strength. The first mortar bomb landed in the century-old Russian compound, which contains the law courts, police headquarters and government hospital. The maternity ward of the hospital w-as damaged. The second shell exploded on the roof of the temporary post office on the southern side of the compound housing police headquarters. The third bomb exploded in St. Paul’s road, in the vicinity of Barclay’s bank, which its in the Arab section of Jerusalem. The British maneuvers were staged after the government announced that Sir Algernon Willis, commander in chief of the Mediterranean fleet, had conferred throughout the weekend with Lt. Gen. Sir Alan Cunningham, high commissioner for Palestine. Willis was accompanied by his personal staff and stayed as a guest of Cunningham. It is believed they discussed emergency security arrangements in view of the virtual open warfare in Palestine between Arabs and Jews. Both sides squared off for open warfare following destruction of the Jewish shopping center in Ben Yehuda street Sunday. Arabs took the offensive last night with a heavy mortar attack against Hadassah hospital atop Mt. Scopus outeide Jerusalem. The Arabs rained mortar shells against Jews defending the hospi-

tal on the slopes of We mount and blew up at least one stone bridge on the main road from Jerusalem to the hospital in an attempt to cut off reinforcements and supplies. Jews fought back in a heavy exchange of fire which appeared to end inconclusively. Jewish fire was directed against the Sheik Jarrah district of Jerusalem, trom where Arabs have carried out a blockade of the hospital. —— o— * UN May Send Armed Force To Palestine United States Will Meet Other Powers Lake Success, N. Y„ Feb. 24 — (UP) — The United States, avoiding any outright commitment, agreed in the United Nations today to consult with the other great powers on possible use of armed force to keep the peace during the partition of Palestine. American delegate Warren R. Austin proposed to the security council formation of a big five committee to determine whether the growing violence in the Holy Land constitutes a threat to world peace. Austin said that if a majority of the 11-nation council finds a threat to peace exists, “the United States would be ready to consult under the (UN) charter with a view to such action as may be necessary to maintain peace.” While it implied American support for the use of force if the necessary of seven security council members decree it, the statement did not commit the United States to do more than “consult” with other members of the UN. Austin raised doubts about the legality of imposing the UN’s troubled Palestine partition program by uee of force, but he said the council was obliged under the

UN charter to “keep the peace” if the trouble in the Holy Land constitues a threat to world peace. Austin said, however, that the latest information on the situation in Palestine “would appear to lead to the conclusion that a threat to the peace exists.” The long-awaited statement of American policy laid before the security council a three-point program which, it appeared, would sidetrack immediate action on the formal appeal of the UN Palestine commission for a full-fledged UN army to enforce Holy Land partition. Just before Austin spoke, chairman Karel Ltaicky of the Palestine commission warned the council that partition cannot be carried out unless the security council forms an international force by May 15— the day Great Britain ends its responsibility for Palestine. o We may pray and possess everything and yet be devoid of the essence of the Christian religion. o Don’t take less than the best . . .
