 TR0ND5EN
 ON BEACH
Master of III-Fated Steam CT Yukon Suspended
 for Eight Months

SEATTLE, April 27.-Capt. Chris E. Trondsen, Veteran of tn e storm m-haunted Alaska shipping route, was lon the beach" today for the second time in his career, his license suspended for eight months by a Coast Guard Board which ruled yesterday he was negligent when the liner Yukon ran aground in Johnstone Bay Feb. A.
 Eleven lives were lost before a rescue fleet of Coast Guard, Navy and Army craft fought through the storm to reach the stricken vessel and save most of it's nearly 500 pas sengers.
 The Board ruled, however, that Captain Trondsen could return to sea in two months and remain on probation for the rest of the period. It was brought out at the hearing that the skipper was suspended 10 days in l942 in connection with the grounding of the steamer Cordova.
 The Board decided the captain had failed to make use of naviga- tional aids. Trondsen's attorney complained that such modern de- velopments as fathometers and ra- dar werc denied commercial ships even though sts wre standing idle in Naval warehouses.

 ADAMANT
 ON SPAIN
Majority of UNSC Wants Subcommittee Investi-
 gation of Franco Spain

NEW YORK, April 27.-A ma jority of the United Nations Secur- ity Council membership hoped today that a weekend message with new instructions from Moscow might move Soviet delegate Andrei A. Gromyko from his steadfast opposi- tion to any subcommittee investi- gation of Franco Spain.
 There was nothing, however. to indicate that Gromyko would wav- CT from his contention that Spain already has been proved a menace to peace and that subsidiary pur- suit of the question would lead only to delay, thus forestalling immed- fate action against Spain.
 The sober, black-haired Soviet delegate became the last holdout against the appointment a sub committee to compile all the avail able data on Spain from the intel ligence services of the individual governments of the LIN. and any additional evidence it may turn up. Australian delegate w. R. Hodgson twice revised his resolution pro posing the subcommittee inquiry in an effort to bring the Council to unanimous agreement.
 The third draft was drawn be- fore yesterdays session at last minute breakfast conference at which Hodgson won over French delegate Henri Bonnet and Dr. Oscar Lange of Poland, who had riddled the subcommittee proposal with amendments and counter-pro- pcsals the day before in a partial lineup with the adamant Gromyko.
 As soon as the final draft was laid before the delegates, Rafael de la Colina, delegate of Mexico, maneuvered quick adjournment until pm. EST Monday in order that new instructions might be sought in the interim from the members home governments and also to avoid a repetition of the previous days 3A hours of con- fused debate.

HOOVER APPEALS FOR AID NOW FOR
 STARVING INDIA
Millions in Jeopardy ot Life Unless Food Reaeh-
 es Them Quickly

BANGALORE, India, April 27.-- Herbert Hoover, winding up his in- vestigation of food conditions in Europe and Asia, issued warning that unless the outside world rush es supplies to the stricken peoples of India. tens of millions" will be "in Jeopardy of life"
 Most districts are on the edge of a precipice," Hoover said in a statement issued last night. Tt is impossible to hazard what the death toll might be. If there were no Imports in the deficit areas, it would be too terrible to contem- plate. Every ton of food imported into these areas will lessen the loss of life
 Asserting that some 3o,0O0000 people are involved in food diff culties" throughout India. the former President said that in the past drastic and intelligent" ra- tioning has eased the problem some what but that in such districts as Mysore even this ration (now about l,4C0 calories day) has begun to break down."
 Hoover attributed India's food problem to three causes: The re- cent droughts, curtailed imports and a normally low standard of living.
 To alleviate the situation, he recommended that rice be import ed from Siam and that Australia expedite her program of shipments of wheat and grain to India and begin at once deliveries in quan- titles which hitherto had keen re- seryek for shipment later in the year.

The W Washington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON = If I were to choose 9 leading American of 1946 as an inspiration to my son, I think I would pick the man who died in harness this week as Chief Jus tice of the United States. would choose him not only because of his great attainments, not only be- cause he rose to high from such humble beginnings; but because he never lost his youth. Even up until that last day and that last falter- ing opinion, Harlan Fiske Stone kept his zest for living.
 Despite sedate years on the na- tion's highest court, there was a iovable, boyish quality about Chief Justice Stone. In his home, for in stance, was the fulfillment of every small boys dream-a secret button which caused bookcase to swing hidden door led to secret pas sageway from the Chief Justices aside, revealing a hidden door. This study to his dining room.
 All too soon, most of us lose our boyhood. But Harlan Stone made his boyhcod dreams of hidden doors and secret passageways come true.
 Some parents, of course, might not agree that the pixie in Stones heart set proper example for their sons. They night even be shocked to learn that, while at Amherst, the Chief Justice led a raid on a Boston Express office and stole the statue of Sabrina, goddess of Am herst men, spirited it away from Amherst alumni, and hid it in a Chesterfield, N. H., barn. Some years later, Stone married the daughter of the man who owned that barn.
