Arguments in London
For Site Of UN0
~ the Associated Press.

~ tlc AssoCldteu FEccbs
LONDON, Dec. Eight Ameri-
can delegations appeared before q
United Nations subcommittee today
and offered territory for the per-
manent site of the United Nations
Organization.
The delegations, heard in alpha
betical order, represented Atlantic
City, the Black Hills of South Da-
kota, Boston, Chicago, Denver, New
port, r. l., Philadelphia and San
Francisco.
Bids from 16 other communities
were submitted by letter.
After the groups had spoken, DR..
stoyan Gavrilovic, chief Yugoslav
delegate to the United Nations
Preparatory Commission and chair
man of the subcommittee, said:
These representatives have come
In state of friendliness and help
fulness and We appreciate it very
much. We realize that you all have
every desire-as you have shown
here today-to do all that you can
to promote the United Nations Or
ganization."
Proposes Secret Ballot.
A Canadian spokesman proposed
that the UNO Preparatory Commits
sion hold secret ballot to decide
which city should be chosen instead
Of ballottng first on whether the
organization should be located in
TlirNy>n or tho TI,,i}od Cfofoe - ,..k
ter still unsettled.
A motion to this effect, he said,
has been submitted to the commits
sion now in session and will be
brought up for debate soon.
While majority of the delegates
have said privately they would vote
for site in the United States, a
two-thirds majority is necessary.
Britain. with the backing of smaller
Western European states, has been
campaigning to swing the choice to
Europe.
Under the Canadian plan, dele
gates would write on a ballot the
name of any "city, town, country or
island" they favored. Successive
votes would be taken until a two
thirds majority was reached.
Delegations Arguments.
Here's what the eight United
States delegations had to say: !.
Atlantic City-A. w. Phillips.
representing the Governor of New
Jersey, offered the island of Brigan-
tine, N. j., as "an international
island"
Black Hills-Ralph Bellamy of
Rapid City, S. OAK, offered 100
square miles tax free and inde-
pendent" to the organization and
said his offer had the backing of the
Governors of South Dakota, Wyom-
Ing and Nebraska.
BoSton-Gov. Maurice J. Tobin of
Massachusetts, said Greater Boston
offered "the geographic location, the
Climate, the facilities and the at
mosphere which will do much to
further success Of the United Ma
tions ." The Massachusetts Legis-
lature has pledged to acquire by
eminent domain whatever facilities
may be needed, Gov. Tobin said.
Chicago-Barnet Hodes quoted
Mayor Edward ]. Kelly, who was
forced by business to return to the
United States, as saying Chicago
"by every rule of appraisal typifies
the heart and thinking of the United
States"

| New Cooking Oil
From Chicken Fat
Offered to DC.

District purchasing officials said
yesterday that a former Miami
Beach real estate man had offered
them cooking oil he has recently
perfected to help relieve the current
lard shortage.
Earlier last week, Acting Pur-
chasing Oficer H. A. Bales reported
that he had been unable to obtain
the 1000, pounds Of lard needed
monthly. Local hospitals and insti-
tutions were said to be experiencing
an acute shortage of lard.
Mr.. Bales said tests now are
being made of the proposed substi-
tute which is made from chicken
fat. 1t was explained to purchasing
officials that the oil can be used
for frying, baking, salads and that
1t can be used over and over again.
Mr.. Bales said the man who de-
veloped the oil Is Charles Pavia,
who claims one gallon Is equal to
five or six gallons Of lard or shor-
tening.

War Department officials said yes

Also being sent to Germany, in
small groups worked in with sick
and wounded, are 2,605 experienced
German coal miners. They will
help coal production in the Reich.
These men will be continued as
prisoners of war after their arrival
in Germany
The Army's policy is to repatriate
war prisoners in three categories.
First, the sick and wounded will be
moved, primarily to ease the burden
on badly needed hospital facilities
in this country.
The second category will be Co
operatives" the Italian prisoner of
war service units composed of pris-
oners who volunteered to give nom
combat help to the Allied war effort.
The last to leave the United States

A half-inch more of rain this

fell in the Nations Capital.
Up to midnight last night 1919

More than $4,000 pounds of tin

establishments this month and the
largest increase in collections has
come from these sources. James E
Colliflower, chairman Of the Dis
trict Salvage Committee, said yes
terday.
Official figures for this month
are not yet available.
william A. Xanten, chairman OF
the Tin Can Committee, said ap-
proximately 80 per cent of the Dis
trict is cooperating in the salvage
program.
This has resulted in an average
monthly figure of 90,416 pounds
during the past six months" he
said. "If we could obtain the CO.
operation of an additional 80 per
cent, the District could very well
lead a large proportion of the Uni
ted States.
Salvage officials will meet this
week with representatives of hos
pitals and other institutions, and
bakeries, in an effort to obtain
their aid in the salvage campaign
The collection averaged 192,177
pounds month in 1943. and 1885,
$40 pounds a month in 1914, ac-
cording to War Production Boarc
