Satisfaction was expressed today in United Nations circles with the manner in which Count Folke Bernadotte is handling the truce situation in Palestine, despite the number of complaints of cease-fire violations which continue to reach him from both the Arabs and Jews.
Leading U.N. officials believe that it will be best to give Count Bernadotte a free hand in handling the complaints. The U.N. Secretariat is in constant telephone communication with Bernadotte, who is expected to set up, within a few days, the Necessary machinery in Rhodes for Arab-Jewish peace talks. Information reaching U.N. here from Arab countries indicates that the Arabs insist on holding separate talks with Bernadotte. The Arabs seem determined to avoid a round-table discussion in which both Jews and Arabs could participate. It is possible that Bernadotte may, in the beginning, conduct separate discussions with Jews and Arabs with a view to ultimately bringing them together at one table.
