Moshe Shertok, chief of the Jewish Agency’s political department, arrived here today by air from London. He said that he plans to confer with American Zionist leaders this week and then leave for Palestine to attend the forthcoming meetings of the Jewish Agency executive and the Zionist Actions Committee.

Queried concerning the British decision to take the Palestine issue to the U.N., Shertok said he expected that the United States would have to take the lead when the question came before the General Assembly, since Britain has stated that it will make no recommendations.
