Trusteeship Compromise
May Be Presented at

SAN FRANCISCO, April 23.-
The United States would retain
control of strategic Pacific bases
after the war under a compro-
mise trusteeship plan reported
under study today for presenta-
tion to the United Nations
Conference, which opens here
Wednesday.
This subject, together with a pro-
posal for a community of the Pa
citic" patterned after the Pan
American Union. shared preconfer-
ence interest with the long trouble
some Polish question, currently a
Big Three topic in Washington.
AS the opening of the 46-nation
conference drew near, Senator Van-
denberg, Republican, of Michigan
and Comdr. Harold Stassen predict
ed it would succeed in its job of es-
tablishing a world organization for
peace. Both are United States dele
gates and Senator Vandenberg is
reportedly in line for the job of rep
resenting this country on the Con-
ference Commission which will write
the regulations for the World Sc
curity Council.
High Points of Compromise.
This commission will handle the
delicate problem of voting procedure
within the inner circle of the peace
keeping organization.
Advocates say the international
trusteeship compromise, worked out
at Washington, is intended to
satisfy military demands for the
Pacific island bases, and at the
same time to provide a plan that
would work as well to the benefit OF
Russia. Britain or any other ma
tion with military base require
ments.
The idea is to have two kinds OF
trusteeships. Areas of one type
would be subject to Investigation
and report by trustee committees
of the proposed world organization
Territories of the other type, prob
ably to be called security areas,
would be assigned exclusively to
the trustee power.
The community of the Pacific
proposal came from Carlos P. Ro-
mulo, Philippine Resident Commis-
sioner. He said in an interview that
it could be "a sort of United Ma
tions of the Pacific, Joined not by
race, but by friendship, good will,
mutuality and understanding"
Outcome Of Talks Awaited.
While the Polish question was of
top concern among the delegates
gathered here, they could do little
other than await the outcome of
Washington talks between Secretary
of State Stettinius, Russian Foreign
Commissar Molotov and British
Foreign Secretary Eden.
1t is generally accepted that unless
the Big Three can come 4 lot closer
than they have so far on the ques-

Assistant Secretary James C. Dunn
and other department officials who
had joined in the Big Three meet
ing, remained behind for a few
moments talk among themselves.
They could not enlighten reporters
as to plans for further conferences.
In the absence of any official ex-
PLANTATION, there was considerable
speculation that the Stettinius- Mol
otov-Eden talks had failed so far
to clear up obstacles to Big Three
unity of action at the San Fran
cisco Conference and that Mr.. Stet-
tinius was seeking instructions from
the President before resuming ef-
forts to break the impasse.
Short Time Remains.
With only a few hours remaining
before they must depart for San
Francisco to head their delegations
there, the foreign secretaries met
last night a few hours after Mr..
Molotov arrived and had paid his
respects to Mr.. Truman. There was
no indication of whether the Presi-
dent would see the Soviet Foreign
Commissar again.
Mr.. Eden arrived at the State De-
partment for this mornings talks at
10:l5 am. and went into an imme-
diate preliminary conference with
Mr.. Stettinius. Mr.. Molotov Joined
them at 1898 am.
Others at Conference.
Also present for the conference
were w. Averell Hartman, Amer
ican Ambassador to Russia; Sir
Alexander Cadogan, British Per-
manent UnderSecretary for Foreign
Affairs, and Sir Archibald Clark
Kerr, British Ambassador to Moscow,
There was no indication of prog
ress made in their first session
last night which followed q meet
ing between Mr.. Molotov and Pres
ident Truman soon after the Soviet
official arrived by air from Mos
COW.
The delayed appearance of Mr..
Molotov climaxed a week of mount

over the Polish issue, heightened
by announcement Saturday night
Of a 20-year mutual assistance pact
between Russia and the Moscow
sponsored Warsaw regime which the

Wallace and Knutson
Exchange Hot Words
lover Trade Pacts
Legislator Says He Will
Wait for Witness of
Ordinary intelligence
BY J. A. OLEARY.

Secretary of Commerce Wal
lace stood by his defense of trade
agreements to expand world
trade after the war during a
long battle of words with Rep
res NATIVE Knutson, Republi-
can, of Minnesota before the
House Ways and Means Com
mittee today.
The verbal sparring over the ad-
ministration bill to extend recipro-
cal trade agreements reached a cli-
max when Mr.. Knutson closed his
cross with this ques-
ton:
isn't lowering tariff rates COM
parable to lowering immigration re-
strictions?"
When Mr.. Wallace replied that
the question was too complicated to
answer, Mr.. Knutson said he would
wait and ask 1t Of "a witness of
ordinary intelligence"
Representative Eberharter, Demo-
crat, of Pennsylvania interrupted to
object that I'VE ought to show re-
spect for the witness"
The audience in the large COM
mittee room broke into applause
until Chairman Doughton raps
for order.
Mr.. Knutson questioned Mr.. Wal
lace at length about early New
Deal farm policies involving acreage
reduction and the killing of little
pigs, concluding by asking the Sec
retary II he still held to the theory
Of scarcity.
Needed Unusual Remedies.
Mr.. Wallace replied that he never
held that philosophy. but always be-
lieved In economy of abundance. He
insisted, however, that when indus
try plowed out half of its workers in
1882, the farmer lost his market" /"
Unusual remedies were necessary,
he added. At one point Mr.. Knutson
asked the Secretary to bring back
tomorrow or the next day some de-
tails on Amtorg, the Russian trading
organization, which prompted Mr..
Wallace to point out he had other
appointments after today and hoped
1 the committee could finish his tes-
timony today.
I'VE look on you as fount of in
formation that cannot be pumped
dry in one day." the Minnesota Rep
resentative replied.
After long discussion of the in
creased efficiency of American pro-
duction as factor in competing on
a unit cost basis with less efficient
countries, Mr.. Knutson put this
question:
1T Is your thought we are going
to create 60,000,0 900 jobs after the
war by running a fine-tooth comb
through American industries and
eliminating the inefi1cient?"
Mr.. Wallace thought for a mo-
ment and then replied. Il am not
beating my wife any more, Mr..
Congressman"

Pressing his argument that Amer
ican industry and workers should be
protected though the tariff laws
against the products of low wage
countries, Mr.. Knutson asked the
Secretary If he would favor applica-

By JOSEPH NOLAN

Boston, Dec. 6 6- UP) - Art and artichokes were mixed for better or worse at Dinty Moore's Restaurant in Bostons theatrical district when bartender Joe Miron opened his salon in a saloon" with 30 original water colors.
 Jovial Joe, who boasts that his work has attracted more than passing glance from conoisseurs = including Henry Francis Taylor Of New York's Metropolitan Art mu- scum will decorate the restau- rants cocktail lounge with paintings of Cape Cod and Key West. And to give the exhibit little variety, he'll include street scenes from New Or leans famed French quarter and caricatures of bleary-eyed men and women from Boston's Scollay Square.
 This salon in a saloon stuff isn't original with me-" confided the bar tending Bohemian. T stole the idea from another great artist Thomas Benton. He once took gander at my art ad said to me, Joe, those painting ought to hang in saloon So I'm doing my best to follow his advice. Noblesse obliged, I always say"
 Sammers on Cape Cod
 Fat and fortyish, Joe spends his summers at Cape Cod and his win ters in Miami, but he turns up faith fully at Dinty Moores between sea- sons for what he calls "a bit of honest work"
 Besides he finds inspirations in his job Many an irate elbow-bender, he says, has had the honor of waiting for his refreshments while Joe com muned with the muse. On the slightest provocation, he will whip out a pencil and jot down artistic impressions in prose on his sleeve.
 A typical prose description, later to be transformed by the magic of his brush, would read something like this:
 '"The floy-hoy- -hoosie floating in on undulating hips for his nightly tilt with lavender pink lady and ogling a burly Greek wrestler with ears of bubble-gum who sits think ing of the mud bath he must take for the sake of his art D

50 Protest Evictions
 Prominent Negroes
 Defend Property

Hollywood, Dec. 6-lUP)-Hattie McDaniel, winner of the Motion Picture Academy award, and Blues Singer Ethel Waters were among 50 prominent Negroes fighting eviction today from their homes in the once exclusive West Adams District be- cause of race restrictions.
 The Negro owners, who with their sympathizers made crowd of 25O in Superior Judge Thurmond Clarke's court yesterday, said that Negroes purchased 60 of the 102 lots in the tract, once the home of Loe Angeles highest society, in the be- lief there were no restrictions.
 They contended it was too late to .ttempt to enforce private pact made in 1897 among property owners n the district.
 Former Mayor George E. Cryer represented one of the Negro de- vendants.
 Eight white property owners, who filed injunction suits, are asking that Inch restriction pact be recognized.
 The other defendants included Actress Luise Beavers and Musician Juan Tizol.

SoLons, Colun1nist GiOen TizzieS at Atom Farley

Dr. Oppenheimer said one thing they might do is repeat the New Mexican atomic explosion occasion ally for the benefit of scoffers.
 Tt is," he said. "a fairly spectac- ular thing"
 Sen. Brien McMahon of Conn, the chairman, let out the only chuckle of the day. That, he said, was a masterpiece of understate- ment.
 Sen. Eugene D. Millikin of Colo, wondered whether there was. any apparatus whereby an atomic bomb hidden in a Washington cellar could be detected. Dr. Oppenheimer said, yes, there was: A screw driver He said he'd use it to open all the crates in all the cellars until he found the one with the bomb.
 No Detection
 The trouble, he said, is that it does not tick. Neither does it send out rays, because it's like a small diamond buried in a big wad of cot ton.
 He got to talking then about de- livering atomic weapons. He said it was 10 to 100 times cheaper to de- liver them than TINT. It finally dawned on me that when he said, deliver, he meant delivery with a great, big bang. Furthermore, he said, the government should en- courage atomic development for peace-time use, once 1t has discov- cred how to keep the peace. As he put it.:

Medical Men Pick Dr.Lee

Chicago, Dec. 6 - (UP) - The trustees and medical service coun- ell of the American Medical As- sociation were called on today to draft national system of doctor sponsored service plans, with fees and services to compete with fed- eral health insurance.
 At closing sessions of a three-day annual meeting last night, the AMA's policy-making house of dele gates urged "a specific national health program, with emphasis upon the nationwide organization of To- cally administered prepayment medical plans"
 Although President Truman's fed- erally-supported national health in- surance program was not mention- ed, delegates had voiced vocal op- position to the proposal throughout the meeting, urging instead the es- tablishment of voluntary sickness plans on a state and local scale.
 Dr. Roger I. Lee, Boston, installed last night, as AMA president, said that 8 program of evolution" in medical care, rather than "revolu- tion," fitted the doctors viewpoint.
