ABOARD THE QUEEN ELIZA
BETH, Oct. 10 (By Telephone) So
Wet Foreign Minister Molotov, the
question mark of international
diplomacy, is attracting more in
terest than all the lords and ladies
of England aboard the Queen Eliza
BETH
AS the great liner draws near the
close of its first top-hat voyage of
the postwar world, the Russian For
-eign Minister has provided the only
exciting note in a de luxe but staid
voyage.
So far during this trip to New
York to represent the Soviet gov
ernment at the Foreign Ministers
Council, he has had nothing to say
publicly. Tonight he is studying a
list of questions propounded by
newsmen seeking his reaction to
Secretary of State Byrnes' speech
Friday night.
Received Long Code Messages.
Mr.. Molotov sent no interpreters
to listen to a rebroadcast of the
speech in the ship lounge this morn
ing. He himself took walk on an
upper deck, but since then the Rus
sian delegation has received long
messages in code and presumably by
now Molotov is aware of the context
of Mr.. Byrnes' report.
Everywhere he walked curious fel-
low travellers turned to glance and
whisper about his entourage OF
guards and diplomats. Mr.. Molotov
appears to enjoy the interest he has
stirred, and has appeared in high
spirits throughout the journey.
He breakfasts in his cabin. Except
for yesterday noon, when he was
slightly indisposed from rough
weather, he has taken his lunch
and dinner in the main restaurant.
He has made two trips to the bridge,
taking the wheel on each visit to
pose for photographers as amiably

Navy's Surplus Soap
Solves One Shortage

VANCOUVER, B. c., Oct. 19
(CDN This city's soap shortage,
as grim as anywhere in America,
was eased today-thanks to the
United States Navy.
Several hundred tons" OF Navy
saltwater soap were being distrib-
uted to retailers by jobber who
literally grabbed it from under the
noses of Chicago and New York
competitors. 1t had been declared
surplus and was sold through the
War Assets Administration.
AS one local soap-starved con-
sumner put it:
"Its not the best in the world
but when you have family to keep
clean you don't care. Besides, 1t
works well in our soft water"
Details of the deal were not avail
able here, but it was admitted that
temporarily at least, the local soap
shortage will be ended with the
American supply. The jobbers made
special arrangements with the
Canadian price control authorities
to sell it at So cents for a 3-pound

by the 1talian) treaty, but the
powers can take action themselves
under the terms of that treaty. said
Senator Connally. IF the Security
Council by that time still hasn't
forces of its own at its disposal, it
could ask and obtain them from
Britain and the United States Or
other powers"
The Senator said that certainly
we don't want another Fiume in
case of trouble" referring to the diff
ficulties Italy and Yugoslavia had
over that city after the end of World

Senator Connally also urged the

| Two Mystery Women
Linked 10 $4,000
Windsor Gem Theft
By the Associoted Press

LONDON, Oct. 19-Scotland
Yard looked into the possibility to-
day that two well-groomed mystery
women, guests at recent Mayfair
society parties, may have helped
confrive the shrewd $4,000 theft OF
the Duchess of Windsor's jewels.
Secrecy shrouded the intensive
72-hour- -old investigation, but the
yard did not preclude the posi-
bility that the women, thus far un-
identified, might have Cleaned the
necessary information for the willy
"cat burglar"
Records of other recent jewel rob-
berries pointed to two fashionable
and socially acceptable women as
the eyes and ears OF walf-scallng
thieves who obviously worked with
accurate advance information.
Investigators disclosed that two
royal heirlooms, belonging to former
King Edward, now the Duke OF
Windsor, were looted along with the
Dukes gold watch, several rings and
the Duchess plush-case jewels.
Among the rings stolen were two
given the Duke by his grandfather,
King Edward VII. The rings were
among the miscellaneous items
listed in an assessors log of the
loss.
While police in two hemispheres
alertly watched for clues, officers IN
the gem dealing countries OF Bel
gium and Holland joined the French
Surete General in combing their un-
derworlds for information.
In London Commissioner Ronald
Howe, personally directing Scotland
Yards end of the international
manhunt, called on the city's police
who dispatched detectives to the old
Hatton Garden district, where gem
dealers peddle thousands of dollars
worth of stones in sidewalk or bar
room transactions.
But the city detectives apparently
were unable to dig out a single clue
Dozens of known fences" were
questioned.
Throughout Britain police sought
a large army-type automobile seen
around the Earl of Dudley's Ednam
Lodge at Sunningdale, Surrey
Wednesday at the approximate time
of the robbery and two or three days
before it.
A close watch was maintained on
airfields and seaports. Police be-
lieved they had prevented the
thieves from smuggling the gems
out of the country.
The yard did not believe. how
ever, that the women actually par.
ticipated in the thefts. 1t was be.
lieved they merely collaborated with
two expert thieves.
| While the yard believed it likely
the thieves still were in England
the possibility of an escape tc
France was not overlooked. 1t was
reported that several operatives
were in Paris working with the
Surete, and at the same time were
investigating a possibility that the
thieves had trailed the duke and
duchess from France week ago.
The duke has lodged a claim TO,
$4,000 for the jewels under a
Lloyd's insurance policy. A reward
of $4,000 had been offered for the
recovery of the treasures, posted
by Henderson & Co., London as.

troubled. In addition, some thought
full observers in the British press
contend that it has not sufficient
area to substitute for Egypt as a
major military base.
Egypt then would have to be sue
ceeded by new second line and it
is the East West African plan that
is suggested as its successor.
Substitute for Gibraltar.
The military source said Nigeria
would give Britain substitute for
Gibraltar if THE Rock" ever became
untenable. Kenya, possessed of a
fairly mild political climate as well
as geographical advantages, would
provide the Eastern outlet now fur
nished by Egypt. Construction and
maintenance of the linking road
would present formidable task.
AS described by the military
source, it would swing to the north
east through French Equatorial
Africa to the Anglo Egyptian
Sudan, then east to the Nile Valley
and southwards into Kenya. 1t
would have to cross deserts and
mountains, penetrate dense jungles
and dodge great lakes. Along the
route would have to be established
staging points" which, this source
said. could develop into fair-sized
communities.
A French embassy spokesman
said Frances attitude toward such
project would be conditioned pri-
marily by her obligations to the
United Nations.
IF such a project did not conflict
with United Nations precepts, l
cannot see why a. bilateral agree
ment could not be arrived at, espe-
cially as it has always been French
policy to consult with Britain on
matters of common concern in re-
gard to colonial problems" he said.
He pointed out that an Anglo
French conference is scheduled Tor
next January at Dakar to consider
common road and rail communica-
ton problems in West Africa.
Road Hacked Across Africa.
During World War II Allied
forces hacked a road from Nigeria
across French Equatorial Africa
into the Sudan and on to Carlo.
Presumably the suggested Nigeria
Kenya link would utilize major
portion of that route on which many
bridges were built and drainage
systems installed.
Western Africa played other i'm
portant war roles. Takoradl. on the
Gold Coast, was a huge "secret"
Raj base, main jumping-of place
for planes to the Middle East. Other
supply bases were established at
Freetown in Sierra Leone, Lagos in
Nigeria and Bathurst in Gambia.
Central Africa was dotted with air
fields and emergency landing sta
tions because fighter planes could
not make the long hop to Egypt
nonstop.
The extent to which the Africa
plan would be discussed by the ex-
perts now assembled in London
could not be determined. Here for
conferences however were Foreign
Secretary Bevin, Egypt's Prime
Minister Sidky Pasha, and military
commanders from British head
quarters in Egypt, Palestine and
Greece as well as host of other
figures of more or less Importance.

panded by press and forum-have
been discussing the strategic sltua-
ton that would result from evacua-
ton of Egypt and the independence
of India.
The military source said a report
submitted to Prime Minister Attlee
included a four point definition OF
Britains military functions in the
Middle East. These, he said, were:
l, Defense of the intercontinentai
lifeline now running from Gibral-
tar through the Mediterranean and
Suez into the Indian Ocean.
2. Defense of Middle Eastern air
fields so vital to modern communl-
cations.
3. Defense of oil interests in Iran
and Iraq.
4. Maintenance of long ties with
he Arab world and expansion OF
friendship with Turkey.
Needs First Line of Defense.
To carry out the first two items
On this program, this source said,
Britain needed first an advance
operational area that would be a
first line of defense" and second,
a base zone large enough to provide
all supply, staff and administrative
requirements.
Military leaders regard the first
line as Gibraltar, Malta, Cyprus,
Palestine, Transjordan and Iraq.
Reports have circulated within the
past week that Britain plans shift
ing it's Alexandria naval base either
to Cyprus or Crete, but the Admiral
ty termed them inaccurate. White
hall sources said Malta could expect
further development.
Palestine has been proposed as a
base for land forces, but the area
