President Truman at his press conference today declined to state whether the United States is ready to accept any responsibility for the disarming of the so-called “illegal armies” in Palestine as suggested yesterday by Prime Minister Clement R. Attlee.
The President also declined to answer a question as to whether the U.S. Government was prepared to take any steps on the recommendation by the Anglo-American inquiry committee that other governments accept Jews from Europe, outside of the 100,000 to be admitted to Palestine.
