EVATT ELECTED CHAIRMAN OF UNO COMMITTEE
(Rec. 2 p.m.) NEW YORK, September 25.
Dr Evatt (Australia) was today unanimously elected chairman of the Palestine Committee. He was nomnated by Cuba and Belgium. The only objection came from Jugoslavia, whose delegate said he did not think the chairmanship should be held by the representative of any British nation. However, he suggested no alternative candidate.
Dr Evatt, after thanking the comHigher Committee and the Jewish mittee, said he thought both the Arab Agency for Palestine should be represented at the committee’s deliberations. The committee’s first duty, however, was to hear a statement by the United Kingdom as the mandatory Power.
