There is still an element of uncertainty about that
truce in Palestine, which is scheduled to start out
there
at
dawn toaorrow.
Both the
Jews and the Arabs say they
are unhappy about the terms of the truce aa laid
down
by
United
lationa Mediator Count ~ernadotte.
In Cairo tonight, the Arabs announced they
are 1oin1
to
cancel their aide

the riaht to start fighting •&•in at the end of the tour
•••k•. They will do this, they say, unl•as the Palestine
proble ■
ia aolved as they want it solved -- ao partition.
On the other side, the Jews accuse Count Bernadotte
of favoring the Arabs. They are particularly angered at
the
u.1.
aediator'• decision to stop the flow of

of











f6LE.§llll_~_i
