The Big Three powers have separately come to the conclusion that a Jewish state should be established in a part of Palestine, but they differ on the amount of territory to be incorporated within it, according to unconfirmed reports circulating here.
The United States and Britain are said to be at odds over the boundaries of the state, while Russia is understood to have decided to back partition, providing the area of the Jewish state is large enough to absorb all European Jewish Dp’s.
Meanwhile, preparations for the housing of the members and staff of the U.N. inquiry committee are nearing completion. It is fairly certain that the hearings will be held in the central YMCA building, near the King Devid Hotel, and that some of the offices of the body will be situated there. The probers will be housed in the newly-bilt paltial Hotel Salwia, while the staff will be quartered in a 30-apartment building set aside and refurnished for the visitors.
