WASHINGTON. May 26-The
Y. S. Senate has spoken in no un-
certain terms for American post
war control OF strategic Pacific
Islands with no strings attached.
Final returns from the Senate

ators as UNANIMOUSLY approving
postwar control OF such bases by
the United States.
F'ifty-two senators are shown
10 favor outright ownership of
vital islands captured from Japan,
deemed essential TO national Sc
curlty. with full American SOW
ereignty.
16 FOR TRUSTEESHIP
Only 16 senators advocated
American trusteeship for strategic
Islands under the world security
organization with five of this
group registering reservations.

Local Plants
Employment

In an effort to relieve any tenn
porary over supply of labor in this
area. officials of several local plants
have asked the government to raise
labor ceilings so that more men
may be employed. Both Central
Specially and Peninsular Paper
Company have made such requests.
The United Stove Company has
applied for permission to begin
production OF oil cook stoves and
heaters.
Local factories other than United
Stove have not laid off as yet, al
though there is speculation that
some of the older employees OF the
generator plant, who were trsns'
ferred to the Rouge plant. may be
returned, displacing newer employ
es.
The Packard Motor Company has
asked for 800 workers from the

These 300 positions carry the
