Italy Appeals
|For Peacetime
Navy Increase
Final PIeo to Be
Made Today for
Defensive Arms
BY the Assoeioted Press

PARIS, Sept. 12.-Italy sought
permission of the 21-nation
Peace Conference today to in
crease the effective strength of
her projected peacetime navy
from 22,5O0 officers and men
the figure fixed by the Big
Four-to $4,000.
The Italian delegation prepared to
present to the military commission
which approved the Big Four recon-
mendation September 3-a request
for the increase of 125O0 In a final
plea today for defensive ar
maments," together with a plea that
the excessive shipping which the
victor nations demand that Italy
destroy. be converted to scrap iron
rather than become a total loss.
At the same time, DR.. Ales Bebler
OF Yugoslavia was scheduled to wind
up Yugoslav demands on Italy be-
fore the Italian Political and Ter
ritorial Commission with a demand
that the Italian city of Monfalcone
which lies about II miles northwest
OF Trieste and about the same dis
lance southwest of Gorilla, be turned
over to Yugoslavia.
Cites Slovene Increase.
Dr. Bebler was prepared to ask
for that city. which he calls Trzic
on the ground that the city's popula :
tion had increased by 5000 Slovenes
since 1t became Italian and that
even the italian population now
wants to become part of Yugoslayi !"
In addition to seeking an increase
In naval strength, the Italians also
readied a plea that the military
commission permit them to keep
artillery emplacements which are
incapable OF firing beyond Italian
borders or italian waters.
The commission already has an
proved treaty draft clauses calling
for destruction OF long range ArtiI-
lery emplacements along the Italian
borders.
The Italians also intended to ask
the commission for permission to
have In their. postwar airforce some
nghter bombers to be used "defen-
siyely," and some self propelled mis-
siles they said they wouli use only
as antitank and antiaircraft weap-
ons. Such instruments of war are
specifically barred by Big -Four
treaty drafts, which have been ap-
proved by the military commission
On another phase OF the Italian
treaty, A nine-nation subcommis-
sion worked into the early hours Of

against Italy and invited Ethiopia

BY the Assoeioted Press

NEW YOhh, sept. 1Z.-Inou-
sands of AFL truck drivers
climbed back into their vehicles
today and started moving sup
plies to retail outlets shut off
from deliveries for IL days by a
strike of $4,000 members of the
AFL Teamsters' Union in New
York and New Jersey.
Heavily loaded trucks thundered
through Holland Tunnel in in
creased volume as John Conlin,
fourth vice president of the Inter-
national Brotherhood of Transfers
(AFL), announced that 5000 drivers
IN Northern New Jersey had re-
turned to work in compliance with
orders from Daniel j. Tobin, team

Mayor William O'Dwyer an
nounced some members of Local
282, one of the organiza tions on
strike for a new contract with a
30 per cent wage boost, had agreed
to start wholesale grocery trucks
rolling again.
Four Wholesalers Freed.
This action, the Mayor said, freed
four of New Yorks major whole
salers and one of the larger food
chains from the tie-up, which had
stripped the shelves bare in some
groceries.
The Gristede Bros. chain said its
4S trucks moved out at 8 am today,
making the supply picture "consid-
erably brighter"
Partial relief from the prolonged
immobilization of the bulk of the
metropolitan areas commercial mo-
tor transport came after a directive
from Mr. Tobin for 10000 sympa-
thizing strikers to get back on the
job.
Many trucks entering the Hol-
land Tunnel bore placards reading

John z. Strong, president of the
local, which with Locals 282 and

The truckers stayed out after the

Record S135,888,
For District Expenses
Requests Are II Pct.
Over Current Budget;
Building Big Item
By John W. Thompson, Jr.

District department heads to-
day asked the Commissioners
for an all-time record $135 $685.
1875 to finance city services and
construction during the fiscal
year beginning next July l.
The total exceeds by $45.000,000
the hitherto record s92 900, 900 re-
quests presented to the city heads
last fall for the current year and is
SIC, 600 900 above the forecasts made
earlier this month by District off,
cials on the basis Of partial returns
In terms of percentages, the re-
quests represent n per cent
increase over current appropriations
New construction items are up SOC
per cent and general operation
costs IS per cent.
SO Million Above Revenues.
More significant, the figure is
$50 ,0O0, 900 above expected revenues
for the coming year.
OF the $135, 1884, ,195 sought, more
than $117, 7,000,0 900 is made made
up of general fund items and the
remainder chargeable to highway
and water funds. Nearly 80 per
cent of the new construction asked
is chargeable to the general fund.
Details of the estimates of need,
swollen by inclusion Of items from
Engineer Commissioner Gordon R.
Young's $228, 100000 six-year plan
for expanding District services and
facilities to meet the war growth
of the Capital, will be disclosed
by District budget officials through
out the next week or 10 days.
More than 1900 new jobs are
being sought on top of the 1,1OO
new positions created in the current
1947 budget now in effect. Budget
spokesmen said virtually all the
$500 could be classed as proposed
expansion of services in contrast
with the current 1,l00 which were
necessary in the change-over to a
40-hour five-day week and the elm
ination of overtime.
81 Million Capital Outlay.
The impact of the Young plan,
announced last June, on the pro-
posed estimates IS indicated in the
$51 900 900 capital outlay and i'm
provements asked by the department
chiefs. This compares with the
s27 900 900 they asked last fall and
the 14,0OO, 900 which Congress act
ually appropriated for the current
year.
Equally significant are their re-
quests for operating expenses which
total $84, 4,023,188 and thus alone
exceed the expected $76,000, 900. tax
income for the year.
Since the Bureau of the Budget
requires the Commissioners to SUBJ
NIT a balanced budget the city heads
have practically no alternative but
to trim the estimates to revenue
expectancy for submission to Con-
gress next winter.
They will meet with the depart
ment heads beginning in about 10
days to 60 over the detail of the
estimates before starting to cut.
Taxes and an $4,000, 900 Federal
payment together with the last bit
of wartime savings not yet cashed
are expected to produce about $780,

Reds Fight u. n. Plan,
To Include Spain in
0pium-Co Talks
U. S. PIeo for Debote
On Refugee Problems
Approved by Council
BY the Assoeio'ed Press

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y, Sept.
12.-Russian objections to any
United Nations dealings with
Franco Spain flared up today
during discussion on a proposed
opium convention in the U. N.
Economic and Social Council.
Nikolai Feonov, Russian delegate
to the 18-Nation Council, raised the
Franco question when the Council
heard that all nations which signed
the 1925 and 1881 opium conventions
would be asked to nominate per-
soIs for proposed permanent CEN
trail opium board under United Ma
tions auspices. Spain was among the
signatories.
rs 1t to be understood that the
Franco government Is invited to ap-
point members to the permanent
opium board?" Mr.. Feonov asked.
Reds Reserve Right to Debate.
Informed by the chairman that
the Spanish government must be
approached" Mr.. Feonov said quietly
that the Russian government re-
served its right to discuss the sub
ject in debate later.
Russia consistently has fought to
have the United Nations break dip
lomatic relations with Franco Spain.
The fact that the United Nations is
obliged to approach the Franco gov
eminent regarding the opium con-
vention puts the U. N. in the posi-
ton of dealing with a government
that it's General Assembly has con-
demned.
The Council approved Drafting
Committee to consider changes in
proposed resolution and conven-
ton transferring to the United Ma
tions the powers exercised by the
League Of Nations under the con-
ventions on narcotics. Members of
this committee are China, Czecho-
slovakia, France, Peru, Russia and
the United States.
Adopt Winant Suggestion.
At the opening of the Council
meeting in its green-carpeted new
chamber at this interim headquar-
ters, the Council adopted sugges-
ton by the United States delegate,
John G. Winant, that it discuss the
refugee problem as committee of
the whole. No date was set for
discussion, however.
On the controversial question an
early hearing in the Economic and
Social Council seemed assured today.
The intention of the United States
to seek a full hearing on the issue
was indicated yesterday during pre-
liminary debate as to whether the
Council should place on its agenda
a Yugoslav request for release of 167
Danube River craft immobilized in
the American occupation zone.
All Aspects to Be Aired.
Despite Russian opposition to ex-
panding the question raised by the
Yugoslav request, it appeared likely
that all aspects of Danubian ship
ping would receive a thorough air.

ground that it concerns only the

NANKING, Sept. 12-Chinese
Communists. steadily losing
ground on North China battle
fields, today proposed immediate
reconvening of the Marshall
Military Committee in an effort
to effect swiftly a national ar
mistice.
Gen. Chou En-lai, chief Com
munist negotiator. made the pro-
posal to United States Ambassador
J. Leighton Stuart, who laid it
before Gen. George c. Marshall
special American envoy.
The committee, which last met
June 80, comprises Gen Marshall
Gen. Chou and Government Gen
Hsu Yung-chang.
The Communist decision followed
by one day the Reds rejection OF
Generalissimo Chang kai-shek's &
latest terms for ending civil strife
The Communists said Gen. Chang
again fatty refused" to assure them
that he would order a nation wide
larmistice as soon as the way was
cleared for political rapprochement
The Communist move represents
an apparent recession from the
earlier demand for an unconditional
|cease-flre agreement. The Reds now
appear willing to have the Marshall
Committee inquire into means OF
effecting peace-possibly with con-
ditions.
Communist Spokesman Liao
Cheng-ch said the committee would
be "a direct approach" to China s
problem.
While the political wrangling con-
tinued, Communist headquarters at

The Hamburg mail due on Sunday ar rived on Friday and brings numerous details of the actions fought in SWitzer- land by which it appears that the French telegraphe and other accounts of those desperate conflicts are fallac- iOus-the imperialists instead of 19,10O men, having lost not more than 5000, The Allies have defeated the French near Shaffhausen, where the corps of Condo having joined the Archduke His Royal Highness was on the End march ing to sustain SuWarrow.

On the same day the French lost 400 men under Gen. Than pioner, in an unsuccessful attack upon division of the Austrian cavalry at Sea- lenga.
 It is stated under the head Venice, Sept 20, that the Nepolitan troops, had taken Rivera by storm, and marched to join Gen. Crorich, who was advancing with a strong army from Tuscany against Rome.
