UN Puts Case Up to Security Council in Palestine Crisis
In Washington Secretary of State Marshall denounced the renewed fighting in Palestine as deplorable and said blame would be determined by the United Nations Security Council. Folke Bernadotte urged an unconditional 10-day truce in the Holy Land as UN mediation efforts continued. Marshall noted a four week armistice ended today and that U S policy aims to stop fighting and achieve a Jewish and Arab settlement through UN channels. Reports from Tel Aviv said Jewish forces counterattacked and took three Egyptian held villages near Majdal while fighting continued elsewhere before the truce. Haifa reported air raid alarms, and fighting resumed in Northern Palestine as the UN truce expired.
