James G. McDonald, American Ambassador to Israel, today reported to President Truman and later said that he was “home on leave and consultation.”
Ambassador McDonald declined to confirm reports of his resignation, saying “so I read in the paper but really all I have to say is that I had a nice visit with the President today.” He said that his leave extends for six more weeks and that he has “no plans except to take care of two grandchildren.”
