MICHIGAN DOCTORS
TO TREAT EX-CI'S

WASHINGTON, Dec. %. -(P)-
Establishing a new policy to re-
ieve its crowded facilities, the
Veterans Administration today an
nounced contract with Michigan
physicians to treat ex-soldiers at
home.
The contract is with the Michigan
State Medical Society. 1t provides
for it's member doctors to treat
war veterans whose disabilities
are service-connected but do not
require disqualification.
Another plan nearing final ap-
proval would permit veterans to be
hospitalized in their own commun-
ity hospital instead of Veterans
Administrator institution. The Vet
Grams Administration would pay
the bill
Maj. Gen. Paul R. Hawley, act
ing surgeon general of the Veterans
Administration, said that if the
Michigan plan is successful it will
be used in other states.
n veterans AuIIlllllSLI dCloIl STD tS-
ment said that this is the first
time contract has been signed
on statewide basis for care Of
veterans by private physicians.
It added that the plan might in
crease the medical care and hos
pital space available for veterans
with non-service connected dis
abilities. Federal law requires hos
pitalization of veterans with non
service connected disabilities only
if Veterans Administration facili-
ties are available.

chip With BOMBS
AVERTS DISASTER

NEW YORK, Dec. 28.-P)-The
Liberty ship Henry D. Thoreau,
which earlier today radioed a dis
tress message that 5000 tons OF
bombs were breaking loose in
hold, notified the Eastern Sea
Frontier tonight that the danger
had been averted.
The ships master radioed that
the cargo had been well secured
and 1--WE are proceeding" 1t ad-
ded:
"Unless, We hit unusually bad
weather, we will be all right.
Please cancel our distress mes
sage"
Earlier, the ship had flashed
message that if the bombs gave
way entirely, nothing can save
u.s."
The Navy, however, intercepting
two messages from the Thoreau,
said it was very unlikely" that
the bombs would explode unless
there was a great shock. Bombs
loaded for transport have their
fuses removed, the Navy said.
The Thoreau, a 7,176-ton vessel
is not carrying troops, the Navy
said. The ship was out of Naples.
Italy, bound for Cape May, N. j..
and about APO miles southwest Of
the Azores.
The bombs probably were some
of those unused by American Air
Forces in Italy and were being
returned to an ammunition depot

spokesman said.

BALTIMORE DOCTOR
REMOVES SAFETY PIN
IN ONE-MINUTE FLAT

BALTIMORE, Dec. 28-tR9-Dr
Waitmar F. linn removed an open
safety pin from the digestive tract
of three-year-old Eileen Chernock
III one minute today in Mercy hos
pital.
Eileen, who had been vacationing
in Florida with her parents, swal-
lowed the pin Wednesday, and was
flown here today after all efforts
to. remove the obstruction in Miami
had failed.
DR.. linn located and closed the
pin with an Esophagescope, then
removed it. He reported the child
"doing grand" and said except
FOR a slight hoarseness, she would
be tout in a day or two.'
Meyer Chernock, the little girl s
father, who accompanied her on
the plane trip, wasn't sure whether
they would return to Miami. Right
now, he said, she's glad to be off
the liquid diet she's been kept on
since her appetite for pins got the
better of her.

British-Dutch Plan
To Keep Java Force
JAPS TAKE STEPS
TO HOLD THRONE

TOKYO, Dec. %. - Up - An
eleventh-hour effort to bolster Hiro-
hito's tottering throne was launch
ed today by japanese legal ex-
perts, after statement by Gen
eral MacArthur's press relations
officers that Japan's Emperor sys-
tenn sis being destroyed-wiped
out of existence"
A private group of authorities
on constitutional law submitted to
the government a series of pro-
posed constitutional revisions which
would strip the Emperor of all po-
litical power but at least leave the
monarchy intact.
Under the impact of the Mos
COW Big-Three creation of a four
power control council for Japan,
however, many Japanese saw the
throne totter;ng inevitably toward
extinction. They recalled that both
Russia and China previously had
proposed elimination of the En-
peror system-and the new four
power council includes both Rus
STA and China.
The statement from Macarthur S
headquar tiers concerning the throne
was issued by Brig. Gen. Frayne
Banker. It summarized the series
of Macarthur directives which
have torn the reins of imperial
power.
The compromise proposed by a
private group of japanese legal
experts would eliminate the En-
peror's political authority, but
would leave him on the throne with
his activities limited to "ceremo-
NAL functions of the state"
The experts recommendations,
prominently displayed in Tokyo
newspapers, proposed transfer of
the Emperor's political preroga-
tives to the Diet and specified that
final responsibility for state adj
ministration should rest with the
cabinet. The Diet could be dis
solved only by plebiscite, and new
premiers would be recommended
by the speaker of the House of Rep
resentatives and the president Of
the House of Peers.
The decision creating a four
power occupation council for Japan
