United Nations Discusses 41 Point Trusteeship Plan for Palestine
United Nations delegates remain divided as 17 days before Britain ends the mandate, with no consensus on a U N trusteeship. The 58 nations debate a 41 point draft placing Palestine under indefinite UN trusteeship with enforcement by a selected council, while some demand U S troops only if force is necessary. A potential cease fire in Jerusalem offers a glimmer of hope amid gloomy prospects for a workable agreement.
