The President of the United States RUSS AID PALESTINE PARTITION Unusually mciliafory Speech Made by Gromyko By LARRY HAUCK LAKE SUCCESS, March 3.—{#— Russia’s renewed support and a slightly stronger American stand brightened the prospects today for Palestine partition. A long-avaited Soviet speech yes- terday served to clear the air and gave Security Council delegates something new to discuss at to- day's meeting. Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gromyko dodged the issue ol sending a United Nations armed fcree into the Holy Land. He did accept a portion of the American plan supporting the principle of partition. He also agreed to Big Five consultations on the subject but objected to a U. S. plan for carrying out the talks. Gromyko's speech was unusually conciliatry. Twice he accused the United States of attempting to confuse the issue, but his counter- suggestions appeared to offer . a basis for settlement. He also omit- ted previous charges that the oiitish are obstructing partition. - - Cadys Celebrate {1th Allniversary Mr. and Mrs. William Cady cele- brated at their eleventh wedding anniversary Monday March 1, with a dinner party at the Salmon Creek Country Club.
