Arabs Deny Plea For Open City
Cairo AP by MAX BOYD reports that Arab leaders rejected a UN mediator Folke Bernadotte proposal to declare Jerusalem an open city. Arab officials warned such a move would breach ceasefire terms and trigger Arab troop withdrawals from areas they had captured last month. The Arab League stated it would protest any plan for permanent peace talks with Jewish representatives. The old city remains under Arab control, while Jews hold much of the modern sections. The Arabs demand free access to holy shrines within the old city walls and reject any partition as a basis for peace. Bernadotte met with Avram Pasha and leaders from Lebanon and Transjordan as talks continued. Page 2 notes ongoing UN surveys on education and cultural reconstruction related to Judaea and surrounding areas.
