Plans for sending an advance party to Pales-tine were mapped out today by the U.N. Implementation Commission following the submission yesterday of a note to Great Britain protesting the British refusal to allow the Commission to enter Palestine until two weeks before the termination of the Mandate on Kay 15.

The advance group may leave within ten days. It will consist of Secretariat personnel and administrative experts. An unofficial suggestion that the party may include a military expert was discounted here today. The Commission staff is expected to make its headquarters in Jerusalem.
