Received Monday, 7.30 p.m. LONDON, Nov. 3. Ameriean suggestions for establishing Jewisb and Arai) states on .Tuly 1, 1948, may pm the responsibility on Britain for preparing the wav for partition but do not seem to bring nearei the answer to the question as to who is to ensure that the Arabs do not try to obliterate partition before it beconies established, says the Times' Jerusalem correspondent. It was tru: the ecuntry would not be left without troops until partition had actually taken place but unless the Arabs' present attitude changes, the consequences of the troops' withdrawa! either before or after partition, would be that tlie Jews would begin to defend their areas and the remainder of; the countrv would be at the mercy of circumstance. Operational troops ac count for only about 30,000 in Palestine. The remainder consist of statfs ettached to large stores and bases aua to the Middle East administration. Twenty Btern gang* terrorists raiderl a police station and freed one of their confederates who had been arrested two hours earlier while earrying Btern gang pamphlefs, reports the British Fnited Press' Tel Aviv correspondent. The raiders took numbers of tomnivguns and pistols from the station.
