The home-hunting United Nations

reported pouring In.
They came to the q. N. Hesdquar-
ters Site Commission, the secreta-

The new wide-open contest foa

capital was compiicating beyond
expectations the task Of the Head
quarters Committee, which Is press-

current General Assembly session.
Most OF the bids coming in &C.

yiously discarded and submitted
again when bidders took heart from
American and British moves to en-
tend the choice Of site for the per-
.manent u. N. home beyond West

Eastern Seaboard Pushed.
The British delegation, although
still plugging Westchester as its No
/ choice. succeeded yesterday In
pushing Philadelphia and Boston
into the forefront among the con-
testants. Britain wants to estab-
lish headquarters on the Eastern
Seaboard, but there Is some Ameri-
can and much Oriental boosting Of
San Francisco.
Philadelphia had It's active pro-
moters on the scene, but no one
from Boston had yet appeared TO
argue the advantages Of the Blue
Hills reservation south Of there.
Gov. Maurice J. Tobin Of Massa-
chusetts, however, quoted the chief
American delegate, Warren Austin,
himself Vermonter, as saying there
was great interest" In the Blue
Hills site.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10 = Up =
President Truman acted Thurs
day to speed immigration of refill
gees into the United States by
ordering four ships to Europe to
provide transportation for thou

After conferences with the Mari

said in a statement that four Lib
erty ships, capable of carrying 9oo
passengers, would arrive at Brem-
erhaven, Germany, during January
to begin the task.
They will be kept in this SER
vice until the situation has been
fully relieved" he said.
Officials reported at least 1851
visas have been issued to refugees
in Germany and Austria during the
year, permitting them to come to
the United States.
Despite Directive
Mr.. Truman noted that up to Oct.
q only 4,767 persons had been
able to enter the country despite
a directive he issued Dec. % OF
last year. This directive sought
to facilitate entry of refugees into
the United States ''up to the full
limit provided by the immigration
law" Because of transportation
difficulties, the President said,
only 603 more persons probably
would enter the United States dur

Maritime Officials To Draw
Up Counter Plan For
Facility Lease

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19-P-The
Maritime commission r e e c
Thursday proposal Of the North
Carolina State Ports authority to
purchase the North Carolina Ship
Building yards at Wilmington, N. c.
The commission advised Senator
Hoey (D-NC) it will draw up a
counter-plan under which the au-
thority could take over the yard
by rental or lease.
The authority had offered ST, 200,
600 for the yards.
The commission did not indicate
how much the rent would be under
the counter-plan offering to lease
the yards to the authority.
The commission, explaining its
stand, said that sale of the yards
was "precluded'' by an earlier de-
cision To keep this and three West
coast yards as permanent reserve
ship building facilities"
That decision and its reaffirma-
ton Thursday were based on belief
that r~eserving the yards for emer-
gencies is necessary "in the inter-
est of national preparedness and
security" the commission said.
The commission, in announcing
the rejection:
1. Repeated a month-old proposal
to lease a strip in the North sec
ton of the yard to the North Caro-
lima authority for port develop
ment. The Authority earlier had
counted this proposal with its pur-
chase offer.
