included virtual completion Of two of the most controversial issues at this meeting. Early last night com- mission III approved the charter chapter which contains the much disputed Yalta voting formula. Later Commission II approved the new chapter on dependent areas and international trusteeships. Rou- tine plenary session approval re- mains.
 The trusteeship report was ac- cepted last night without dissent. It included new chapter of two sec- tions the first setting up for the first time a declaration of policy of nations toward all dependent peoples; the second detailing the new system of trusteeships under the world organization.
 United Kingdom delegate Lord Cranbourne and Brigadier General Carlos P. Romulo of the Philippine Commonwealth delivered the prin- cipal speeches. They had been on opposite sides in the dispute over inclusion of independence" as goal for all dependent peoples in the new charter.
 Romulo, who accepted the new wording as a satisfactory answer to his independence" demand, told the commission meeting that al- though the word is not mentioned, independence is the actual spirit of the formula as it is now worded." /" The charter, he added, contains the answer everything that those peo- pie who will come under the chap ter have prayed for and so long desired"
 After revealing June 26 as the closing date, Stettinius said
 We can set this date with entire confidence since the charter will be Tn draft form tonight and only technical and formal steps remain to complete our great enterprise"
 The remaining steps include com- mission approval of the final ver- sion of the sections of the charter they drafted, and then presentation of commission reports to the full conference. The latter step can be done at one sitting after which the full text of the charter will be given a final okay by the conference as a whole.
 Present plans are to begin the signing of the charter Monday anc possibly complete that work Tues day morning. The signature room will be the auditorium of the vet erans building next door to the Opera House in which public ses. sions are held. The auditorium ha! been specially prepared with huge circular table surrounded by gole chairs and banked by semi-circl' of the flags of the United Nations The signing ceremony is expected tt require about eight hours. Each del egation will have a special time fol signing, which will be done II alphabetical order from Argen' tina to Yugoslavia.
 The last business of the confer ence will be President Truman address. The final gavel will fall-i the present schedule holds - exact. ly nine weeks after the conference started.

 As the visitors were about to leave, Gordon allegedly jumped on Murphy who despite his shouts and blows was oyerpowered and tied with the wire from coffee percola- tor in 8 jungle knot. This meant that the wire was wound around his neck and then to his wrists and feet so that as he struggled he strangled himself.
 Then, it was said, the youths ran sacked the apartment. Paine al- legedly donned new gabardine suit Murphy owned. Another of the group took a monogramed shirt oi Murphy's and was wearing this when arrested. The rest grabbed other clothing. What they didn't wear they pawned and it was by ths means that police obtained clues that lee to the arrests.
 Though Murphy's body lay on blood-stained bed and he reputedly had sustained skull injuries, thu youths allegedly said he was breath ing when they left the room. They were sure of this, they reputedly told police, because Paine felt Mur- phys pulse before leaving.

Hollywood, June 21-(UP)-A milling crowd of film stars, an- tioue collectors and curious movie fans squeezed into the luxurious home of LIpe Velez today to see auctioned her $175,0 estate-in- cluding the mammoth bed on which she took her life.
 It was very select auction. Pros pective buyers were admitted only by engraved invitations-and with $2O deposits. This was to assure Auctioneer w. c. O'Connor that they meant business and weren't there just to gawk at a movie stars home.
 The late actress, whose peppery personality often landed her on the nations front pages, swallowed on overdose of sleeping pills last Dec 14 because she preferred deatf rather than bear an illeg1timatf child.
 In a suicide note to Harald Ra- mond, Australian-born actor ane
 self-acknowledged father of the baby, Miss Velez said she was talk ing that way out because she couldn't face an abortion or a life of shame.
 Under O'Connor's hammer went the $6O, 900 Spanish home in an ex- elusive residential section of Bev- erly Hills, where the Mexican spit. fire and her one-time husband Johnny Weissmuller, lived - anc batled - for several years.
 Also on sale were the fabulous furnishings. The tars enormou! collection of furs and jewels vii be sold tomorrow.

 Although the Baka was spotted about minute and a half before it hit no one saw it launched from a mother plane. Several two-En- gined Japanese bombers were, how ever, in the viciyity at the time.
 Four of the Abele's 20 nm. guns were trying to shoot the baka down when it struck. Before 1t was sighted the destroyer's gunners fought oil several enemy plane at- tacks and helped splash" one of the planes. Then the suicide plane hit, followed by the baka.
 Many of the Abele's crew were trapped in compartments and went down with their ship. Several lost their lives when a Japanese plane dropped bomb among survivors on a little raft after the vessel had been abandoned.
 After the dolble-attack, the ex- ecutive ofi1cer of the Abele, Lt Cmdr, Harry W. Burns, Jr., of u8 Davidson roaO Worcester, Mass, said he reported to the captain, Cmdr A. E. Parker on the bridge and then proceeded to the main deck.

 The first marine division in the west and Seventh infantry division on the east created the third pocket with a junction between the towns of Aragachi and Makabe atop Yae- ju-Dake plateau.
 The Japanest fought back bitterly atop the plateau, especially in Makabe and around hill 81. Marines killed ITO Japanese troops in Maka- be alone and sent rapid-firing tanks against the enemy's hill positions. Aragachi, keystone of the north ern and smaller pocket left by the plateau junction, was under frontal assault by the 96th infal-try divi- sion. The Japanese put up stub- born fight from individual concrete pillboxes, but failed to halt the ad- vancing Doughboys.
 Marines of the Sixth division squeezed the remaining Japanese around Ara Cape at the extreme southern tip of the island into a 100-square-yard pocket behind the Mauni Mura Hills.

 Tokyo cited these signs of Amer ican intentions:

 2.-More than 100 American transports are at anchor in the American-won Kerama Islands southwest of Okinawa and two naval task forces have appeared near Miyako Island, farther south west.
 3.-Gen. Douglas MacArthur's es- tablishment of western Pacific command indicates that large bases are to be set up for the assembly of personnel and material for ar invasion of Japan.
 Radio Tokyo also revealed that the newspaper Mainichi had pub. lished photographs of Admiral. Chester w. Nimitz, Raymond A Spruance and other American of. ficerS who guide the war strategy.

When the con- tract was offered to Higgins hs says he asked if this was sonle- thing they needed or something that would be cancelled out. and he was assured the stuff was needed. So he and his staff put in three months engineering and management to get the produc- tion undei way, only to have the plug pulled again. !
 In spite of the set-backs and the government waste of money in making and cancelling contracts, Higgins takes hs greatest pride in $300.000.000 worth of equip ment he has delivered, in the mil- lions of dollars he says his cre-.- tions have saved the government.
