LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y., Feb. 3 (U.P.)-The Jewish Agency for Palestine formally charged the seven nations of the Arab League today with aggression against Palestine and asked for Security Council measures to punish them.

The Agency, official spokesman for Palestine’s 600,000 Jews, submitted the charges to the United Nations Palestine Commission with the plea that it relay the complaint to the Council.

The Agency charged the Arab states with “an Arab plot to overthrow the United Nations (partition) decision by force. It said Arabs already had conducted aggression in violation of the U. N. charter and were preparing for further aggression.”

The Agency asked the Council to impose economic and political sanctions on the Arabs, and if necessary use force to put down their opposition to Palestine partition.

The Agency’s charges reached the five-member Palestine Commission as it started work on a special report to the Security Council which is expected to ask for a U. N. army to back up the impending partition of Palestine.
