The Palestine Resolution which has been a center of controversy in Zionist and non-Zionist circles for the past few months, was reintroduced in the House of Representatives today by Rep. James P. Geelon, Connecticut Democrat.
Although official Zionist circles here refused to comment on the bill, pending a meeting of the American Zionist Emergency Council in New York tomorrow, it is not thought likely that they will press for action until the State Department reconsiders its opposition. Herman Schulman, chairman of the administrative committee of the Council, said that a statement would be issued tomorrow. The Geelan bill is identical with the measure introduced in the 78th Congress by Rep. Ranulf Compton, whom Geelan defeated.
