Acting Secretary of State Dean Acheson said to day that President Truman has not yet replied to Prime Minister Attlee’s note protesting issuance of the President’s statement on Palestine.

He told a press conference that no protests have been received from Arab states and that the only information concerning such objections that he had was contained in press reports.

Acheson confirmed that the State Department had transmitted the Jewish Agency’s plan for a “viable Jewish state” to the Foreign Office several months ago, urging that it be given careful consideration, but had received no reaction from the British, except a statement that a similar plan had been submitted in London by Agency representatives.
