Magnes\nCIA\nin telephone conversation with me this morning:\nFC\nDCR\nThe whole situation can be met if a Governor is appointed\nfor Jerusalem who will take the local people into his\nservice.\nIf a police force is needed, it can be got on the spot:\nThree hundred each of Arab and Jew police each to be\nunder separate command but who would meet. That would\nbe the nucleus. The population of Jerusalem will help\nin all possible ways. No politician can stop them.\nJerusalem must be approached with imagination, and with\nfaith. But let the Governor be appointed and fly out.\nI would fly with him. He would be received with open\nhearts and arms. Jerusalem people want such help. If\na token force, so much the better; but the Governor\nanyway. The people would put themselves at his service.\nFaith is a condition for Jerusalem. Dr. Magnes wants\nto tell this to the President and to the Secretary of\nState. He maintains that we do not need a truce between\nthe politicians. The people of Jerusalem will take care\nof it. No politician can stop the people of Jerusalem.\nThey will care for it.\nThe symbol of the religions of the world is Jerusalen.\nIf the US will put away red tape and get to the people\nof Jerusalem the assurance of help from the UN, no truce\nbetween politicians will be needed.\nDECLASSIFIED\nAUSTIN\nE.
