Stassen Declares u. ),
Must Keep Control Of
Vital Pacific Islands
Ey the Associated Press.

SAN FRANCISCO, May q
Coindr. Harold E. Stassen said to-
day 1t Is obvious" the United States
must retain control of vitally
strategic islands in the Pacific after
defeat of the japanese.
The former Republican Governor
OF Minnesota told a reporter that
while this country should not seek
permanent title to such areas, it
would be justified in demanding a
continuing trusteeship' over some
of the islands won from Japan
with American lives.
Comdr. StaSsen, on leave from
the staff of Admiral William F..
Halsey, is the chief American rep
resentative in negotiations toward
formation of trusteeship policy to
be incorporated into the world Or
ganization to be set up by the United
Nations Conference here.
Approval of Formula Forecast.
The American formula, backed by
the War, Navy, State and Interior
Departments, will be up for sug-
gested changes when representatives
of the Big Five nations-the United
States, Great Britain, Russia, China
and France-consider 1t at session
tomorrow night.
Repeatedly proposing dual form
Of trusteeships, the formula is ex-
pected to win approval by the other
powers. Great Britain already has
indicated unofflcially that it is salts
fled. France apparently expects to
offer no amendments.
Once cleared by the Big Five, the
formula must be considered by the
smaller nations. among them the
Netherlands, before its actual sub
mission to the United Nations Con-
ference for ratification. The Dutch,
who have important Pacific inter-
ests, may have some ideas for
changes.
Briefly. the policy would set up
one type of trusteeship for areas
with primary strategic value In such
instances, the administering nation
would have a free hand in opera
tions. but would have to report peri
odically to the international organ
l2ation.
Won't Act on Specific Areas.
The other type of trusteeship
would deal with areas in which
there are large populations. Here
one nation might exercise control or
there might be joint administra-
ton.
The aim of such trusteeships
would be to develop local govern
ment responsibility so that even-
tually the peoples concerned might
rule themselves
Only the principle is expected to
be adopted here, with no effort to-
decide what specific areas are to be
put under trusteeship.
AS an example of the continuing
trusteeshipS" to which Comdr. Stas-
sen alluded, the United States
might assume a mandate over Two
Jima, where the population is small
but where the right kind of mill
tary installations might be a potent
safeguard against any future Jap
anese aggression.

Meat Shortage
May Hit State
Trout Rearinq

LANSING, Feb. 81 - (P) -
The State Conservation Depart
ment expressed fear today that
the wartime meat shortage
may require it to abandon its
extensive trout rearing program
temporarily.
The Department said it was
informed by Chicago meat
packers that its March and
April supply of pork and sheep
livers and inedible pork melts
can not be delivered. The De-
partment purchases about IS
tons of the meat annually to
feed trout being brought to le-
gal size before transplanting.
Making an attempt to pick up
enough horse livers and other
foods for the emergency, the
Department said it might have
to plant between 100000 and
100000 young trout which
normally would have been held
until 1916 and 1947. About 600,-
600 legal sized trout were plant
ed last Spring.

Stote Hospito!
Inquiry Launched

LANSING, Feb. 81 - up -
Rep. Harry j. Phillips, Port HUI
ron Republican, pressed today
for legislative investigation of
the death in the Pontiac State
Hospital of Mrs. Pearl Thornton
of Port Huron, a mental patient.
The legislator contended he
had evidence that a cruel beat
ing may have caused her death,
and that I've got evidence
which I'm not going to disclose
now, lest l tip somebody off to
just how much / know"
Phillips demanded a suspen-
sion Of rules at last nights ses-
sion an d immediate vote to
launch the inquiry, but consent
ed to have his resolution sent to
committee when Reps. Bert j..
Storey of Iionia and John p. Es-
pie of Eagle cautioned him that
tragedies will happen in insti-
tutions for care of the insane, and
assured him they knew the SUI
perintendent of the hospital to
be a humane and conscientious
official.
Phillips displayed photographs
of Mrs. Thornton's body on the
autopsy table, declaring they
showed clearly that one of her
eyes had been blackened by a
blow, and that her face, legs and
torso were bruised severely as
though from a beating. He said
he was curious as TO "why four
Of her front teeth were missing
on the day of her death on Feb.
Z, when only one tooth was
missing when she was admitted
to the hospital on Jan. 81"
81 also want to know why her
body was badly decomposed IS
hours after her death, and how
it happens that a coroner ar
rived at the hospital just 10 min
utes after her DEATH" he said.
That's a really speedy arrival.
But there are other things l want
to find out which I'm not talking
about now. l want this started
quickly, because the longer we
let it go the less likely we are
to get at the facts. There are
discrepancies in the state hos
pitfalls reports"

Studied al Meet
Inter-Americon Group
Confers in Mexico
BY NORMAN CARIGNAN

MEXICO CITY, Feb. 27-(P)
- The Inter-American Confer
ence turned its attention today
to the problem of assuring the
nations of the Western Henri
sphere freedom from economic
discrimination in the postwar
world.
The new freedom is the back
bone of a United States economic
program designed to make the
h m S p h ere prosperous by
knocking down tariff barriers
and building up industries.
The American plan has its ac-
cent on private enterprise and
free trade. Indications are that
it will receive the approval of
the other ID delegations if they
get sufficient guarantees that
the United States will not let
them down in the critical post
war period.
u. S. Assistant Secretary of
State William S. Clayton is ex-
pected to outline the plan in an
address before the Conference
Economic Commission at 1870
a. m. (1:30 PEW.
American delegates are point
ing out to the Latin Americans
that there are bound to be some
hardships in the readjustment
after the war, but that the Unit
ed States, which has made the
greatest shift from peace to war
economy, will suffer the most
in its reconversion program.
The United States has said that
no relief on shipping is in sight
until after the war, when condi-
tons are expected to be much
improved. To Latin American
demands for higher coffee cell
ing prices, the United States has
stated a preference for mainten-
ance of present ceilings in order
to avoid inflationary effect.
The Latin-American countries
say they cannot reduce trade
controls entirely, because their
infant industries require some
sort of protection.
The u. S. has recognized this
argument, and has attempted to
arrange commitments or moral
understandings in specific in
stances that such protection,
principally tariffs, will be reduc-
ed gradually.

Recovering From
Jop Heart Wound

NEW HAVEN-George Mar
quis, fifth class technician of
Uncle S ms jungle fighting
forces in the Pacific, is now
strolling around his mothers
New Haven farm, or visiting old
friends in the village, answering
inquiries as TO how it feels to
have a Japanese bullet damned
against ones heart.
Marquis, now on 30-day con-
valescent leave, is lean, but
healthy looking, after his unique
ordeal which won nationwide
publicity when military surgeons
removed the .25 caliber Jap bull
let.
His wound was received in the
invasion Of the Philippines, when
a Jap sniper, infiltrating Yank
lines, shot Marquis in the back.
Unable to be handled like or
binary casualties, because abrupt
movement or upset would have
proved fatal, Marquis was rush
ed by hospital ship and plane
to this country where the sue
cessful operation was performed.
Among the first visits Mar
quis made. after spending few
days with his mother, Mrs. Mary
Radich on her 100-acre farm,
was TO Mount Clemens. There he
called on Macy E. Watkins, fam
lily attorney, who last year hand
led the mothers appeal to the
government for Georges return
to the farm, because she had
three sons in the armed forces
and no able help for food pro-
duction.

State Will Sponsor
Junior Rifle Clubs
Hit at Ignorance
Concerning Fireorms

LANSING, Feb. ~ - R -
In an attempt to overcome the
ignorance of the use of firearms
which it contends has led to
a mounting toll of hunting ac-
cidents involving juveniles, the
State Conservation Department
will sponsor junior rifle clubs
throughout the state.
The Department said its &C.
ton was based on preliminary
survey of the causes of the ac-
cidents, which indicated that
many youngsters allowed to
hunt are not familiar with pro-
per use of rifles.
The Department said 1t would
train its field officers at once
to act as instructors in coopera-
ton with the National Rifle AS

would be assisted by local con-
