Formula For Former
 Jap Bases Developed

, ment's original idea to put all of the former Japanese mandated is- lands under an international trus- teeship.
 Chairman Tom Connally, D., Tex, of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said the formula would divide Japanese holdings into two general classiflcations and provide the following methods to disposi- tion:
 l. Areas which have only mili- tary value, such as the great Jap anese bastion at Truk-the U. s. plan would allow the nation hold ing the "trusteeShip" of such an island to retain complete control. ?. Areas which have economic and commercial value as well as military interests, such as Palau or the Western CarolineS which have phosphate end bauxite deposits the nation holding the trusteeship would be responsible jointly with the international organization for administration. This would in fact be trusteeship granted by the world organization.
 There will be no specific assign ment of trusteeShips at this con- ference; that will be done at the later peace conference which will redraw the map of the world. The present job is to prepare the mach lnery for assigning the truSteeship when the time comes.
 The U. s. delegation got down to real work late yesterday after the arrival of Stettinius and Connally. Stettinius, chairman of the Amer lcan delegates, was immediately confronted with two important is- sues: CD Protests by some delegates against the policy prohibiting them from discussing official questions with the press, and (2) A demand for complete fill-in on the Big Three Washington conversations on Poland.
 Stettinius met between 300 and 400 reporters soon after his arrival He introduced the delegation, read two statements but declined to ans- wer any questions except the one on trusteships.
 American delegates have been as- signed to the four commissions into which the conference has been di- vided. Senator Arthur H. Vanden- berg. R., Mich, will hold key posi- tions on both the general assembly and security council commissions.
 Other American representatives on the important security council commission are Connally, Con- mander Harold E. Stassen and former Secretary of State Cordell Hull. The latter's health has not yet improved sufficiently for him to at- tend.
 Stettinius will be permanent chair man of the conference and hence will not represent the United States on any commission.

CHAPMAN WILL
 | FACES CONTEST
Appeals to Superior Court Believed Likely By Dis-
 inherited Parties

Superior Court may be asked shortly to rule on the admission by Probate Judge Patrick Healey of a will of the late Mrs. Sarah V. Chip man of 596 Highland avenue. Indi- cations today were that two cousins, Walter H. Chipman of Thomaston and George L. Chipman of New Bri- tain, will file on appeal to the high CT court in an attempt to break the will.
 Markings placed on certain en- tries in the will of the wealthy widow, whose estate is reported to be worth more than a million dol- lars, are the basis of the contro- versy which has developed.
 Judge Healey ruled that since no information was supplied as to who had made the cross marks or when they were made they could take no cognizence of them. If the KS" had been upheld as legally made Mrs. Lulu Beere of Country club road, cousin of Mrs. Chipman, would be the lone legatee.
 Specific bequests to Mary Eliza beth Kellogg, Louise Chipman, and Ella s. Chipman were crossed out and the word dead" was inscribed. A section relating to a $30,000 trust fund to the Third Congregations! church also was crossed out, with no explanation given.
 No beQuest was made to the two first cousins, who have engaged At torney William Mangin, probate court judge in New Britain, to start legal action over the will.
 Mrs. Chirman died March 3, fol- lowing an illness of several months. Her husband, the late Daniel L. Chipman, originally owned vast section of land in the western part of the city. and inherited on his death by his wife. Chipman street, two blocks from the Chipman homestead, was named after mem bers of the family. Acres of unde- veloped land running of Chipman street and Washington avenue ex- tension are part of the Chipman estate.
 Mrs. Chipman, whose estate con- SistS of mortgages, securities and cash, as well as real estate, had long been reputed as one of the largest tax payers to the City of Water bury.
 The will, which Is expected to precipitate an extensive legal bat tie, was admitted by the probate court Monday. Various persons and institutions mentioned in the will have engaged counsel and are re- ported to be preparing for court action.

 By which mean you have to buy tripe and kidneys when you want beef," he said.
 '"The same thing happens here with hquor," interrupted Sen. Allen J. Elender of Louisiana. If you want g. bottle of scotch, you've got to buy four bottles of rum"
 The Little Flower beamed. His face creased in smiles and he said that didn't surprise him.
 You must remember you are in Washington, he said. Things are different (adv.) in New York. Our enforcement is so much better there than here that I'd like you Senators to come up and see us.

 Only really bad spot in New York concerns poultry, he said. Particu- larly was the situation bad during the Jewish holidays.
 Our officers would stand in the markets with badges on their chests and some ledy would come up and buy 8 chicken. Then 1t would 20 like this:
 Market Man: Thatll be $s.5O. please
 Officer: Hold on, let's put that chicken on the scales
 Lady: No you don't. That's my cnlcken and I don't want iv weighed"

 Approved by the State Labor De- pertinent and opposed by planters, the bill provides that only growers who have less than 15 persons on their payrolls may employ children under IA years of age.

 Considerable opposition developed at public utilities committee hear ing late yesterday on bill to ial- low the Metropolitan district con- mission to build a new reservoir on the west branch of Pennington river at Colebrook.

 Opponents, including all of the Litchfield county legislators, con- tended that the commission has an incomplteted project on the east branch of the river which should be finished before any new plans are undertaken.
