President Truman last week told Zionists that it was "his determination" that the British move against the underground should not delay "a policy of transferring 100,000 Jewish immigrants to Palestine with all dispatch." The nettled British promptly let it be known that in that case the U.S. would have to send troops to help keep peace in the Middle East. That the U.S. could or would send troops to Palestine was most unlikely. President Truman, with the Zionist outcry in his ears today, could well imagine the din from other pressure groups tomorrow if U.S. soldiers were killed there...

But the U.P. later admitted that the Mufti's whereabouts were uncertain, and the Syrian Government denied that he had entered by air or through any frontier post...
...Unilever's plans are concocted by Geoffrey Heyworth, the stocky, handsome chairman of the board. A onetime Rugby player, he came to Lever at 18, has climbed to the top chiefly because of his rare organizational talent which has kept the empire running with a maximum of dispatch, a minimum of confusion. When Chairman Heyworth has some important business with U.S. Lever Bros., he does not follow the tortuous way to Cambridge via South Africa. Instead, he simply picks up the phone, calls Chuck Luckman long distance...
...series of articles for London's Sunday Dispatch, the tall, shy, young Oxford-bred newspaperman who traveled and argued with Britain's Field Marshal from El Alamein to Germany, flatly denied Ingersoll's charge that Monty lost the battle of Caen while the British outnumbered the enemy. He dismissed the Ingersoll version of the battle of the Ardennes, "which represents Montgomery as panicking and screaming ... as putting the British Army into full retreat, as nearly losing the battle by abandoning the offensive . . . and finally as trying to scoop all the credit for himself...
