Dr.. Mcleod Addresses
pediatrics' Academy
fAt Detroit Session

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT, Jan. 16-The 14th an
nual meeting of the American
Academy of Pediatrics began dis
cussions today after devoting yes
terday to registration and visit to
several Detroit clinics. Sessions are
being held at the Book-Cadillac
Hotel.
Among the speakers at today's
session was DR.. John H. Mcleod of
Children's Hospital in Washington,
who read paper on histoplasmosis,
a parasitic Infection
At tomorrow's meeting. DR.. Jo-
seph S. Wall, also of Children's
Hospital, is scheduled to read re-
port on pending and proposed child
health legislation. DR.. Wall is
president of the academy.
In an interview last night, DR..
Wall said the academy views with
alarm" the Observation-Disclosures
bill for compulsory health insur-
ance. Members of the organization,
he added, are less opposed to the
bill introduced by Senator Pepper,
Democrat, of Florida, which would
extend care to all expectant moth
ers, children and persons up to the
age of q, regardless of financial po-
sition.
I'VE agree with the objective of
this bill" DR.. Wall said, but feel
that in short time, it would cause
rapid disintegration in the prac-
tice of pediatrics.. That point is our
main objection to seeing either bill
become law. We feel that in the
long run they would work against
their own objectives."

House Group Amazed
By Jap Cooperation
With Gen. Macarthur
Es the Associated presa:

Es the Associated Press.
TOKYO, Jan. 16-A spokesman for
the House Naval Affairs Subcom-
mittee touring the Orient said today
the group was quite astonished to
note the wholehearted cooperation
of all the Japanese people" with
Gen. Macarthur in working out oc-
cupation problems.
Representative Bates, Republican
of Massachusetts,, in a statement
issued after the subcommittee con-
ferred with the supreme Allied COM
mander, declared I'VE were very much
impressed with the general and were
amazed at his thorough, overall
understanding of the problems con-
fronting him -.
Developments under the occupa-
ton prove to us there can be ce-
mented a friendly feeling by the
people Of Japan for the United
States.
THE economy of the Nation is at
its lowest ebb in history. But we
feel sure that with sound founda-
tions-now provided-the strong
and vigorous efforts of the Jap
anese people responding to the call
of Macarthur will bring them to
order and adequacy" II
Regarding rehabilitation Mr..
Bates said, "We are particularly
pleased with representations which
indicate no high-point men are be-
ing held here. We have found the
nigh command and the command
ers who have led the boys through
various battles to be highly SYM
pathetic and understanding"
The group is studying demobili-
zation and inspecting American
bases in the Pacific to determine
which should be retained.
The Representatives visit Hiro-
shima and Nagasaki. They plan TO
visit Kure tomorrow and then pro-
ceed to Tsingtao, Tientsin and
Shanghai to inspect Marine and
naval facilities in China. From
Shanghai the subcommittee will 20

Pacific Bases Needed
For Security Will Be
Held, Truman Says

The United States intends to
keep exclusive control of Pacific
island bases deemed essential for
national security as long as that
course seems advisable, Presi-
dent Truman emphasized at his
news conference yesterday.
In response to question about
American policy he said that is
lands not considered necessary for
security will be turned over to the
United Nations for a collective
trusteeship under the Security
Council.
The Presidents declaration was,
in effect, a reiteration of this coun-
try'S aims with regard to the islands,
many of which were wrested from
the Japanese at a heavy cost in
American lives.
Specific Islands Not Named.
The Chief Executive did not name
the islands he regards as essential.
NewSmen recalled, however, that
the Navy Department filed a recon-
mended list with a House Naval
subcommittee last September II.
On it were such former Japanese
owned or Japanese controlled islands
as Tinian and Saipan in the Mari
anaS; Two Jima in the Bonins, and
Okinawa in the Ryukyus-all scenes
of bitter lighting during the war.
The discussion of the Pacific
islands came when a reporter told
the President the various delegations
to the UNO Assembly in London
split over the issue of Pa
cific trusteeships
Did the United States favor trus-
teeships for the islands, the reporter.
asked.
President Outlines Stand.
President Truman replied crisply
that the islands the United States
did not need would be turned over
to UNO or the creation of trustee
ships.
And those we need?" asked the
reporter.
Those we need We'll keep, the
President asserted.
Forever" asked the reporter.
AS long as they are needed, Mr..
Truman replied.
In answer to another question
later, however, the President made
it plain the United States would seek
authority from UNO to set up its
exclusive trusteeships in the islands
deemed essential.
Truman Confident in UNO.
In fact, he took time out to saw
he thought UNO was doing remark
ably we'll thus far and he believed
it would accomplish the purpose for
which it was created-the preser-
vation of peace
Returning to the Pacific question.
a reporter noted there were several
islands below the Equator which
had never belonged to Japan, but
which had served as American bases
during the war. Were we interested
in these, he asked.
Only in conjunction with our
Allies, the President replied.
Reports from London have indi-
Gated that the American delegation
has plan under which all former
japanese Pacific islands would be
turned over for UNO trusteeships
with the understanding that this
country would be assigned to ad-
minister certain of the trusteeships
exclusively.
Mr.. Truman responded mot nee
eSsarily' when asked if this country
would be the only one to have in
dividual trusteeshipS.

Mognuson Urges Acquisition
OF Islands in Loan to British

Senator Magnuson, Democrat, of
Washington today called for acquisi-
ton of some British-owned island
bases in connection with any loan
to England, thus spreading to both
oceans current discussions of future
American outposts.
Senator Magnuson said this coun-
try should get the bases it needs,
both in the Atlantic and the Pacific
and whether they belong to enemy
or ally.
A lieutenant commander in the
Naval Reserve, Senator Magnuson
formerly was chairman of the House
Naval Affairs Subcommittee, which
conducted secret inquiry with War,
