How this transcription was made
The scan is the headline and its four-line question; there is no body text on it to transcribe. Body text transcribed by optical character recognition from the scan and not read back by hand.
Context added by this archive
Ten weeks after the partition vote, a Chicago headline asking in seventy-two point type whether the United States delegation bought it. The question is entirely about American honor: what the vote did to the country being partitioned is not in the sentence. The word for the plan is Zionist, printed without quotation marks, in the paper’s own voice.
