CONFERENCE
LEAPS OVER
ONE HURDLE
Zone De tense Formula
Seems Assured Trustee
Issue Still UnsoIved

SAN FRANCISCO, May 16 - A
United States plan guaranteeing to
any group of United Nations the
right to organize for collective de-
Tense goes before the World Sc
curity Conference today backed by
enough votes to assure its eventual
approval.
The plan is designed primarily
to give the Pan-Amcfican defense
system a strong and permanent
position within the proposed world
security organization.
New Pan-Am Pact
Secretary of State Stettinius an
nounced, on authority of President
Truman, that the United States
would invite the other American
Nations to negotiate long-term
mutual defense treaty following the
conference here.
Formulation of the American
plan, with the approval OF virtually
all the Latin American States and
most of the big powers-Russia
remains to be heard from-puts
this conference over one of its
biggest hurdles.
The greatest obstacle remaining,
in the opinion of United States
authorities, is the development of a
formula for setting up international
trusteeships that will allow the
United States and other powers to
develop military bases they believe
necessary to security.
Pacific Base Claims
This country is especially con-
cerned about retaining Pacific
bases captured from Japan. The
British delegation last night re-
ceived London approval of ten
tative Anglo American trusteeship
formula. But on this, too, Russia
remains to be heard from.
The Pan-American Conference to
draw up a long-term treaty to re-
place the wartime pact made at
Mexico City in March probably will
be held at Washington in Novem-
Der.
The heart of the United States
proposal is that any group of ma
tions has the right to plan COL
lectively for its own defense SC that
if the projected world security
council fails to prevent an armed
attack on one of them all the

THREE SWEDES REPORT
SEEING TWO MONSTERS

+ STOCKHOLM, July 10 -U.H- A
parsons wife and a local police
man saw two "sea monsters near
the seaport of Umae yesterday,
only fortnight after an amphibi-
Gus monster with three huge bumps
on its back was spotted at a lake
outside Storsjoe.
The witnesses said they saw two
''heads' which they first believ-
ed to be those of swimmers. When
the heads suddenly disappeared
and a tail and fin emerged few
seconds later they decided they had
seen a sea monster, last seen in
1945, when a group of amateur
anglers tried to catch it. One mem
Der of the same party has already
left for Umae to try his luck again.
The monster at Storsjoe, which
repeatedly crawled onto the bank
and disappeared into the under
brush, made it's appearance about
10 years ago.

declared:
"The effect of this amendment
is to kill the entire agreement.
From there on 1t was smooth
sailing for the Breton Woods sup
porters. They even turned back,
40 to 26, a proposala by Senator
Ball (R-Minn which would have
authorized the United States repre-
sentative to propose an amendment
under which participating nations
would have to abolish currency re-
strictions three years hence.
Barley told the Senate that the
House will accept minor amend
ments already written into the bill,
but he had no assurance it would
approve the Ball proposal-and he
doubted if that adjournment-bound
chamber could get quorum to-
gether for a record vote anyway.
The result, he said, might be
that the plan would be stymied by
a minor amendment until the Hou
returns from recess on October 8
The vote against Taft's proposal
was SO to %.

Commissioners Back
Bill Saving City Jobs
For 5-Year Residents

The Commissioners today were on
record as favoring as step toward
Equity and justice" the bill of Sem
ator Chavez, Democrat, of New Mex
leo requiring flve-year bona fide
District residence for appointments
to number of municipal posts.
The city heads made known their
position in letter to Chairman
McCarran of the Senate Judiciary
Committee, but they also reported
the Budget Bureau had advised
them that the legislation in its pres
ent form ''is not in accord with the
program of the President"
Applies to Many Jobs.
Under the bill, the flve-year resi-
dence requirement would apply to
all city positions where appoint
ments are made by the President, to
the Office of United States attorney
or marshal and to all District courts.
"The District of Columbia at the
present time is composed of close to
100000 citizens of the United
States" the letter said. "The lit
eracy record of the municipality
80 compares favorably with any
other jurisdiction in the coun-
try.
I'm addition to the justice Of the
requirement of residence and prac-
tice in the cases of judges, which
the Commissioners believe very rea-
sonable, it is well that those ap-
pointed be an integral part Of the
community in which they are to
serve.
In Unique Position.
'The District of Columbia is
unique in that the judges Of the
District Court and the Court of
Appeals not only sit in Federal cases,
but also sit as our local justices. 1t
would be difficult, if not impossible,
to imagine that a justice of the local
court of New York might be ap-
pointed from New Jersey, much less
any other State of the Union.
Little justification, if any, exists
for putting the District in the excep-
ton to the basic rule which requires
of United States dis
trict attorneys and United States
from the district in which
they are to serve"
