The papers showed that Churchill and the then Secretary of State „for India, Leo Amery, strongly pushed for a partition plan against the advice of Eden and cither Foreign Office officials and serious reservations by the military chiefs of staff. At one point, Churchill declared: "It is well known I am determined not to. break the pledges of the British government to the Zionists, expressed in the Balfour Declaration (1917),, as modified by any subsequent statements at the Colonial Office in 1921." Because of the deadlock within the Cabinet, Churchill in 1945 deferred action on the Palestinian problem. Ma'alot: Carnage In Galilee Town by Tu via Mendelson MAALOT, (JTA) — Israel buried the victims of the Maalot massacre on May 16 as the entire northern area of the country was placed on alert 'against further terrorist outrages. The.;20 teen-age students slain May 15 in the Netiv Meir school building in Maalot were laid to rest near the graves of other youthful terrorist victims - the children murdered in a school bus ambush at Avivim three years ago. The three members of the Cohen family murdered in Maalot and a soldier killed in the assault on the terrorist-held school building were buried in spearate graves: Collective funeral services, with Israel's chief rabbinate officiating, began at 4 p.m. local time in Safad, home of most of the victims. More than 10,000 persons con¬ verged on the tiny mountain hamlet in central galilee, turning what is normally a peaceful resort town favored by artists and writers into a sea of fury and seething emotions.
