-IREThe Cities Service Refining

gasoline refinery and butadiene
plant. one of the Nations largest,
was taken over today by the Fed
eral Government.
Notices were posted on plant
bulletin boards that Petroleum Ad-
ministrator Harold Ickes had TAX
en- charge under orders OF resi-
dent Harry S. Truman.
Pickets who have marched back
and forth before the gates since
1900 workmen walked out because
of a rent controversy continued al
their posts, however, and no work
men had entered the plant early
tonight.
At least seven persons were IN
jured slightly last week during al
unsuccessful attempt to crash
picket lines.
A meeting was called late to
day at Maplewood housing pro
ject, where the work stoppagt
was called after 900 key men il

House Halls Plan Keep
Islands 7akenF romJQpQn

WASHINTCN. April 10 -P)-
Vigorous applause today greeted a
suggestion in the House by Rep.
Wadsworth (R-NY) that the United
States keep Pacific islands it has
wrested from the japanese.
The influential New Yorker told
colleagues he was mot captivated"
by the idea that the United States
should hold as trustee" for other
Allied nations territory which we
have won with our treasure and
out blood"
To keep the peace, he said,- we
must 'hold that position in the
Far East which all Asiatics want
us to hold'' without being '1espon-
sible to any international organi-
zation."
Specifically, Wadsworth mention
ed Two Jima, Saipan, Okinawa, the
Marianas and Caroline islands.
The question of trusteeships is
one to which the United States
delegates to the United Nations con-
ference on world organization have
devoted much thought. Their de-
cision has not been disclosed. al

though Secretary of State Stettin-
Jus said today they had reached
agreement 'on all major points. "
Yesterday. majority Of the del
egates were reported inclining to-
ward the principle of mandating
certain conquered territory to in
dividual allies. This is in line with
views held by the British.
Some officials have talked of the
possibility of some sort of joint con.
troll by the Big Five, but the Navy
apparently favors American control
of bases leading to japan, and q
majority of the American delegates
to San Francisco also were be-
ieved to be leangni that way.
Meantime the troubled question
of Polish representation at San
Francisco PERSISTED, with Russia
reported renewing her demand tina
the Soviet-backed Polish regime be
invited if coalition government l:
not set up in the week before the
conference opens.

SPANISH AIRP0RTS
BARRED TO NAILS
All Authorized Air Traffic
Between Nations Will
Cease

MADRID, April 18.- R The
Spanish government, acting upon
the request of the United States,
agreed tonight to prohibit landings
of Germans planes of all types in
Spanish territory, effective at mid
night tonight.
This ban, which will take effect
after the scheduled arrival of the
regular Lufthansa passenger and
freight plane tonight, will bring
to an end all authorized traffic
between the Reich and Spain.
The United States has agreed to
provide the Spaniards with facili-
ties for the transportation of mail
to and from Switzerland.
There had been previous reports
that Lufthansa planes from SUIT
CART, Munich and Milan had been
prohibited from landing at Bar
celona, but afterward the German
planes continued to land in Gaia
lonia, province in which Barcelona
is located.
Correspondents rep resenting
newspapers of the United Nations
never were able to learn who ar
rived in these planes. All their eff
