U.N. Implementation Commission Holds First Session; Will Discuss Security

The problem of Palestine security will be tomorrow by U.N. Secretary General Trygye Lie to the opening session of the five nation Implementation Commission which will meet here to map out a program for carrying out the partition decision of the General Assembly.

At a press conference today, Mr. Lie denied press reports that he has been inquiring among the governments of small nations if they would be willing to send troops to Palestine if Arab-Jewish violence increases. However, he indicated that he considers the Palestine security problem urgent, and said he will touch upon it in this opening address to the Implementation Commission.

(The N.Y. Times today reported from Lake Success that Lie had sounded out a number of smaller countries over the last ten days on the question of their willing-ness to send troops to Palestine. The report said that “it was understood that Belgium, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway and Denmark figured on the list of European countries that he believed might send troops if the necessity arose.” Mexico and Brazil head the list of Latin American, countries, the story stated, adding that “none of the delegations consulted has yet given Mr. Lie a definite answer.”)

Should the Implementation Commission find it necessary to ask that an international security force be sent to Palestine, it will have to call on the Security Council, Mr. Lie explained. The Security Council is the only U.K. body authorized to deal with such matters, he pointed out.

SAFETY OF THE COMMISSION DISCUSSED BY U.N. SECRETARY GENERAL

It is understood that Mr. Lie, in his address to the Implementation Commission, will warn the members of the difficulties they will face in their tack of setting up separate Jewish and Arab states by Oct. 1. At the same time, he will emphasize the necessity for action to overcome violence and Arab opposition to the realization of the U.N. partition decision.

At his press conference today, Mr. Lie revealed that he has discussed the Palestine security problem with members of his staff, since the safety of the members and staff of the Commission when they arrive in Palestine is causing some anxiety. He announced that either he or one of his top ranking assistants would go to Palestine with the Commission in order to assure effective liaison with the United Nations on the highest level.

All five members of the Commission representing Czechoslovakia, Bolivia, Denmark and the Philippine, were due to arrive in New York today in time to attend tomorrow morning’s. The chairman of the Commission will be either Karel Lisicky of Czechoslovakia or Par Federspiel of Denmark, to was predicted today.

The Commission, after being constituted, will meet will meet with Sir Alexander Cadogan, head of the British delegation at the United Nations, to work out the detail of its ##rk in Palestine, which will require the cooperation of the Palestine Government. ## will also coordinate with Sir Alexander the date of its arrival in Palestine. The possibility of a visit to London en route to Palestine will also be discussed.
