United States on the conference commission which will write the regulations for the World Security Council.
 This commission will handle the delicate problem of voting pro- cedure within the inner circle of the peace keeping organization. Advocates say the international trusteeship compromise as worked out in Washington is intended to satisfy the military demands for Pacific island bases and at the same time provide a plan to work out as well as benefit Russia, Bri- tain or any other nation with mil itary base requirements.
 The idea is to have two kinds of trusteeships in the areas. One type would be subject to investi- gation and report by trustee com mittees in the proposed world or ganization territories. Other ter ritories probably would be called security areas and would be as. signed exclusively to trustee power.
