The governments of Britain and the United States were sharply criticized today in Congress during a full-hour debate on the Palestine question in which nine members of the House participated.
Rep. Emanuel Celler, who led the attack, assailed Britain’s “current neutrality” in the Palestine situation and accused the U.S. Government of allowing itself to be hamstrung by internal intrigue” over the Palestine issue. “I accuse such men as Loy Henderson, chief of the Middle Eastern Office of the State Department, of intriguing the scenes to void decisions made on higher levels,” Celler said.
Rep. Arthur G. Klein, of New York, called for lifting of the embargo on arms shipments to Palestine. The other Congressmen she expressed similar views included: Eugene J. Keogh, Abraham J. Multer, Helen Gahagan Douglas, Chet Holifield and Herman P. Eberharter.
