Oct. 30 — ((’PI — The United Nation* ordered Israeli and Arah armies to stop fighting in North Palestine as of 6 a. m CST today, but lacked immediate word whether the order was obeyed. The new UN cease fire order was issued by truce headquarters In Palestine even -as the new outbreak of fighting and diplomatic slowdown here on the eve of the American elections threatened to wipe out the last vestige of UN control over the Holy Land. UN headquarters in Haifa reported that the Jews opened a big offensive along the whole northern front last night. The attack was reported following the pattern of the recent fighting in the Negev area of South Palestine. Reeking to check the fighting In the north, true headquarters dispatched orders to Imth aides to lay down their arms as of noon GMT. informants at UN headquarters here disclosed. That was the method by which the UN finally checked the fighting in the Negev. Hut It ended only after the Jews had scored major gains which undermined the whole Arab position south of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem The UN security council received an Anglo-Chinese resolution looking toward eventual penalties agalnvt Israel if the Jews clung to their refusal to evacuate the newly conquered territory. At first the United States supported the resolution. Then, at the reported Intervention of Preaident Truman, that support was withdrawn and the council adjourneo until Tuesday -election day in the United Stales —or later. So great was the confusion in UN quarter* over the Palestine T- P»ar Klnbt*
