Members of the U.N. Special Committee on Palestine, who began meeting here today in the headquarters of the United Nations, clashed almost immediately on the question of visiting the camps for displaced Jews.

Opposing the proposal to visit the DP camps in Germany was the representative of India who did not seek to cloak his pro-Arab attitude during the hearings of UNSCOP in Palestine. The meetings of the committee here are being held in camera.

The League of Red Cross Societies here today received a cabled appeal from the Red Mogen Dovid in Palestine, asking help for the Exodus 1947 refugees who are expected to arrive today or tomorrow at Port du Bouc, France. Grave concern is expressed here over the selection of Port du Bouc, since it is feared it may indicate that the deportees may be placed in camps in the areas which were formerly occupied by interned Spanish republicans.
