Australians Defeated
On Human Rights Court

PARIS, Sept. IL tPD.--The Peace
Conference Legal and Drafting
Commission virtually eliminated
Australia's proposal for a World
Court of Human Rights by ruling,
IA to 2, today that the proposal
properly belonged in the United
Nations and not in the peace treaties.
Only Australia and New Zealand
voted to have the court clause,
which would guarantee certain fun

Immediately served notice it intend

In the Italian Political and Terri
torial Commission, DR.. Ales Bebler
of Yugoslavia moved into the third
chapter of his explanation of Yugo-
slav demands for more territory
from Italy with a long statement
asserting Yugoslavias historical and
ethnic right to complete possession
of VeneZia Giulia and disputed
Trieste.
Delegates from the Ukraine and
Czecnoslovakia supported the Yu.

Italy Demands Piebiscite.
A demand for a plebiscite In

the committee by Ivanoe Bonomi,
head of the Italian delegation.
The Italian Embassy made public
Mr.. Bonomi's letter. 1t asserted
that the arguments presented at the
conference by Italian and Yugoslay
delegates showed that the two gov
ernments are generally in agreement
on the following points:
l. The frontier between the two
countries should be drawn in ac-
cordance with the ethnic line.
2. This line should be determined
by taking into consideration the will
of the people in the disputed zone.
The letter requested that the
committee president recommend to
the Council of Foreign Ministers
that plebiscite be held.
"In proposing this democratic
means of decision for a territorial
conflict, the Italian government
gives assurance that the vote will
be conducted with all the
necessary guarantees to insure a

Yugoslavia Asks U. n.
To Return 167 Vessels
Reported Held byU. 5.
Gromyko Moy Support
Charges Of Ukroinions
Against Greece Today
BY the kssociofsd Press

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y, Sept.
11.-Yugoslavia called on the
United Nations Economic and
Social Council today to take i'm
mediate action to restore to her
167 Yugoslav vessels which she
held in the United
States zone of occupation on the
upper Danube.
The Yugoslav delegate, Stane
Krasovec, made his demand as the
Council opened it's third session to
take up a crowded agenda which
included such issues as future care
for refugees.
He spoke after American Repre-
sentative Ernest Penrose proposed
that the Yugoslav item on the
agenda be broadened to permit full
discussion of other questions re-
garding the Danube.
Apparently interpreting the
United States proposal as a move
to postpone discussion of the Yu-
goslav appeal, Mr. Krasovec said he
was opposed to it.
No Postponement Sought.
Chairman Andrija Stampar of
Yugoslavia explained that the
United States did not seek to post
pone discussion but only wanted to
broaden it.
Soviet Delegate Alexander Feonov,
however, said, TT seems that the
United States intends to raise the
whole question of navigation on the
Danube and that this would drown
the Yugoslav question"
Mr.. Stampar disclosed that Czecho-
slovakia had submitted to the Coun-
Gil an appeal similar to that of
Yugoslavia regarding barges held by
the Allied Control Commission.
During the debate over the agenda,
F. H. La Guardia, director general
of UNRRA, sat near the council
table awaiting an opportunity to
speak on the refugee question.
Charges May Be Pressed.
Meanwhile, Soviet Delegate An
drei A. Gromyko was expected to
make a final effort in the Security
Council to bolster Ukrainian charges
that the present Greek government
Is threat to peace in the Balkans
AS the delegates prepared to meet
this afternoon they had before them
Brazilian motion that the Council
leave the Greek case, at least tenn
porarily, and pass on to the next
item on the agenda.
There appeared little likelihood
however, that action would be taken
on this proposal until after Mr.
Gromyko had been heard again.
The Soviet delegate already has
made two lengthy statements on the
Greek question.
The next item on the Councils
agenda was an equally controversial
.question-Russias S demands that all
members of the United Nations re-
port on the number of troops they
have in countries other than those
which were formerly enemies.
Program Is Crowded.
These demands, if supported by
the Council, would require Great
Britain to disclose the number of
troops she has in Greece, Iraq and
other Allied countries and would
force the United States to report on
her troops in China The delegates
generally agreed the Soviet proposal
would not receive the necessary votes.
1t was disclosed last night that
Secretary-General Trygve Lie would
recommend the creation of an in
terim commission to set up the pro-
posed International Refugee Organ
ization. He indicated he would ask

wards of $4,000 for the arrest of
the lynchers. Attorney General
Tom c. Clark told the FBI to
make its own inquiry. A shocked
nation, which had hoped the
lynching spirit was dying out in
the South, recalled Talmadge's
words of victory: THE Negroes
best friends are the Southern
white men and most of them
know it." But Talmadge was
away vacationing in Cheyenne,

reached him, his comment was:
"Regrettable."

U. S. CHECKS UP ON
BRIDE OF DIVINE

Edna Rose Ritchings, white
bride of Father Divine, Negro
messiah, is under investigation by
immigration authorities, the Sc
attic office of the immigration
service revealed recently.
While there is no clear-cut in
dication that the Canadian girl
violated alien regulation, she is
being checked on because of her
entry into the United States thru
Blaine, May 30, 1945, John P.
Boyd, of the immigration service,
said.
She was admitted on a permit
good for 29 days, but records here
do not show that she ever left the
United States, Boyd said She
could, however, have gone back to
Canada through some other point
of entry, and the local office not
be notified, Boyd pointed out.
There ordinarily would be no
investigation, the official said,
but since we have learned that
she now is in the United States
and since our records show her
as not having left after her entry
at Blaine, we will check to deter
mine if she did leave, and then
returned"
Boyd said Edna Rose and
companion, Dorothy Lightfoot, 81,
of Vancouver, B. c., were denied
entry into the United States at
Blaine on Feb. %, 1915. She told
immigration agents at that time
that she had IAN urge" to see the
colored self-styled God" She
said she left home because of her
family's objections to her interest
in Father Divine.

On this street stood the finest

held hands of friendship with our
country. Down this street had

 Twelve dual-purpose five-inch guns in twin turrets are spaced with an eye to symmetry along her 54l-foot overall length. Secondary armament consists of thirty-two forty -nillimeter guns in six quad ruple and four twin mounts, and sixteen twenty -millimeter guns in eight twin mounts. The latest type of radar, both fire control and search, has been installed in the ship.
