Jews May P lo Republic JERUSALEM, March 20 --A Jewish leaders ;ire expected to proclaim at once a Hebrew state in Palestine following abandon- j "?ent 'ft,lhe Part',lt Pn by the United States, informants said to night. Jewish fighting forces made it clear they would try to hold the boundaries of such a state by force of arms. The Arabs were con fused as to whether they would keep on shooting. At his headquarters in Pales tine's Samarian mountains, Al Kaukji commander of the Arab people's army, told a reporter: "We did not come here to fight partition but to fight Zionism. Whether America supports parti tion or opposes it makes no dif ference in our plans." Both Jewish and Arab inform ants suggested that the importance of the middle east's vast oil re sources influenced the United States decision to abandon par tition. A spokesman of the Jewish agency said: 'Oil has apparently become more expensive and more important to the United States than Jewish blood. It is not al together surprising that the Uni ted States should sell out the Jew ish state in favor of its own aims.'' In Beirut, where Arab leaders are in session.
