Russia To Back UN Partitioning Of Holy Land
Lake Success, N. Y.—(UP)—Russia reportedly will give reluctant backing to the partition of Palestine in the United Nations today after first expressing preference for the minority plan to make the Holy Land a single Arab-Jewish state.
The Soviet position, which will tentatively align Russia with the United States in qualified support of Palestine partition, was expected to be disclosed to the U.N. general assembly today in the 57-nation Palestine committee.
U.S. Backs Partition
Arab spokesmen still smoldered over the United States' choice and reiterated their warning that partition means bloodshed in the Middle East.
The statement was awaited almost as eagerly by U.N. diplomats, Arab and Jewish leaders, as the one in which the United States told the U.N. Saturday it would back the principle of partition and help the U.N. meet problems of internal law and order, economics and finance in the period required to transform Palestine into Arab and Jewish states.
A source close to the Soviet delegation said Russia would tell the Palestine committee it still favored a federated Palestine state in preference to slicing it into separate Arab and Jewish states. Federation was the formula proposed by the United Nations security of the U.N. countries of the special U.N. Palestine inquiry committee. Yugoslavia, a steady reflector of Soviet policy, was leader of the minority. Plan Must Work
About 1,500 members of 25 high school bands took part in a two-mile parade marching from Sixth and Massachusetts streets to Memorial stadium Saturday.
The source added, however, that the Russians would indicate that partition will be acceptable if it appears to be the only solution certain states want to negotiate with Nations, and certain of being translated into a workable settlement.
The Russian stand was certain to be full of qualifications and loopholes as are Great Britain's stand on the question and many aspects of the United States' position.
The bands played the national anthem in unison before the South Side Basketball football game. They were guests of the University Athletic association.
