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.''

tonight that the United States pro

the only suggestion thus far pre
sented which appears to offer any
basis for action by the United
Nations to meet the existing situ

The secretary said the U.S. sug
gestion is that a temporary trus

order to maintain the peace while
a settlement is being reached.
