DOS review completed GENERAL
1. UK may be more cooperative on Palestine--In a recent dis-
cussion with the US delegation to the UN, UK representative
Creech-Jones, while stressing overwhelming British public
opinion against further UK participation in Palestinian affairs,
indicated that the UK Government does not want to continue
indefinitely in a negative position on Palestine but wants to
follow a positive and constructive policy. Creech-Jones ex-
pressed a desire to cooperate with the US in working out
terms of a possible trusteeship agreement.

2. YUGOSLAVIA: Estimate of possible olitico-militar action--
US Ambassador cannon believes that rece?it in rna develop-
ments in Yugoslavia suggest the possibility that the Yugoslav
Government is preparing for politico-military action following
a Communist defeat in Italy. Cannon suggests that one reason
for Yugoslav failure up to the present to pursue a more aggres -
sive policy in Greece may be that Yugoslavia is expected to
act elsewhere.
3. GREECE: Likelihood of Cabinet reshuffle increasi Charge Rankin reports an Increase of political maneuvering
for changes in the present Greek coalition Cabinet together
with further evidence of public and press dissatisfaction with
the Government. According to Rankin, Sophocles Venizelos
(a leader in Prime Minister Sophocles Liberal Party) main-
tains that the present Cabinet must make at least a few changes
in order to survive the reconvening of Parliament on 10 May.
Rankin expressed concern to Venizelos lest anything resem-
bling a "crisis" develop as a result of efforts to obtain Cabi-
net revision.
