Jewish state and the British cabinet decided to take similar action within the next few’ days Australia and New Zealand are expected to go along with Britain There were indications in Rome that Italian recognition also was under discussion were made that Predictions the Netherlands and Belgium Luxembourg soon would get on the bandwagon Those three nations coordinate their foreign policies with Britain and France May be Alone Soon the Arab nations may find themselves alone in their opposition to Israel it was said The sudden flood of expected recognitions would remove most obstacles from Israel’s application for membership in the United nations Britain heretofore has advocated delay in admitting the Jewish state French recognition was granted on the eve of Israel’s first election It also came at a time when j n armistice negotiations on Rhodes appeared to be tottering on the brink of final failure Recognized by 23 nations including the United States and Russia now have recognized Israel The French action was taken in the form of “de facto” recognition — the type extended by the Umted States just after the British surrendered their mandate and quit Twenty-thre- e Palestine It means recognition of Israel as an operating government but falls short of “de jure" recognition which acknowledges a government as legal authority and calls for an exchahge of diplomatic repre- sentatives British recognition is expected to be the same type as that extended by the United States and France It appears likely that the British step may come before the house of commors

of the senate and house banking committees It would continue controls for 24 months or through March 31 1951 and would give the housing expediter — now Tighe E Woods — powers he does not now have Takes New Areas These would include authority to reimpose rental ceilings on pre viously decontrolled areas on apartment hotels on quarters which have been covered by voluntary leases and on some quarters newly converted to housing purposes All controls could be relaxed before March 31 1951 however by a presidential proclamation or by congress through a resolution to which bouth houses agreed Such action could be taken only if the president or congress found the housing emergency to have ended Rent control is one of the subleaders jects which congressional because have given top priority
