Italian Appeals Remain.

Now that the military commission
has completed work on all of its
Italian treaty clauses the test fight
on prohibited weapons for Soviet
backed Bulgaria may soon be taken
up. And the explosive issue il
had sought to cool off by delay had
become hotter than ever as a result
OF the release yesterday by MI
Wallace of his letter on atomic
energy to President Truman.
The British unobtrusively slipped
the words atomic bombs" into an
amendment last week which added
controlled torpedoes to the list OF
possible modern apons-includine

shall not possess, construct OF

The Slav delegations spotted the
words at once, objected and blocked
all immediate consideration of the
proposal, putting it on the military
commissions schedule for later
discussion.
New Line Drawn in Farley.
Britain protested that the Slav.
had supported a similar propose
for the Italian treaty, but the Slavs
replied. in effect Democratic Bul.
garia cannot be compared to Italy
one of the principal initiators Of
imperialism and totalitarianism."
That seemed to many delegates
to draw an entirely new line in the
21-nation conference.-the issues nc
longer lay between the victors or
one side and the vanquished on the
other, but between the Slav bloc
beaten or victorious, on one side
ana the rest of the world on the
other.
The United States has shown in
tense interest in the British pro-
posal by holding up consideration
of Romania's banned weapons
clause until the Bulgarian dispute
is settled.
Italian Treaty Finished.
The military commission set its
seal on the military limitations

ships and limiting the army to 250,-

William ]. Clark
Dies Suddenly

"A special service was held Tues
day evening at 2 o'clock at the
Mueller Chapel for William Joseph
Clark, age "A, whose death occur
red early Monday morning at Our
Lady of Lourdes hospital. Rev.
Walter Crownover of Richland was
in charge of the service. He was
assisted by Mrs. Clark's uncle, Rev.
j. f. Curtis of Pullman. Burial
will take place at Independence,
Mo.
Belief that Clark's death re-
suited from injuries received
about three weeks earlier in an
auto accident near Waitsburg was
dispelled by an autopsy, which
established heart condition as the
cause of his sudden death.
MIR. and Mrs. Clark recently
employed Mr.. and Mrs. Jim Parks
to manage their Commercial Inn,
which they had operated since
October Of 1913, and were prepar-
ing to open the Chateau, near
Lewiston, Idaho. Mr.. and Mrs.
Parks are former owners Of the
Angus Grill.
About three weeks ago, Mr.. and
Mrs. Clark were driving to Lewis
ton, in connection with their pur-
chase of the Chateau. A car
speeding toward them on the
wrong traffic lane forced their car
over to the soft shoulder of the
road. Mrs. Clark, who was driving,
was able to pull the car back on
the highway, where il skidded and
overturned. Both Mr.. and Mrs.
Clark were painfully bruised and
shaken.
Mrs. Clark will return to Ken
newick from Missouri. Her future
plans are uncertain.
William Joseph Clark was born
May 8, 1902 in California, Mo. For
a number of years he operated a
chain Of restaurants in Kansas
City. He and Mrs. Clark came 70
Hanford in 1913, where he was
employed as patrolman. Mrs.
Clark was employed as personnel
manager for the Hanford Super
Market. ...,.. -
His widow, Mrs. Gertrude Viola
Clark, is his only surviving near
relative.

The company has been promised
delivery of its first plane Dec. Is.

two round trips daily with no SER
vice on Sundays. The plane will
leave Kennewick at 7:25 am. and
arrive in Seattle at 1913. It, will
leave Seattle at 8:45 and stop at
KenneWick at $40. The afternoon
flight will leave Vista Field at
4:25 and return at GAO. This will
allow for a full day in Seattle.
! Future of the service is depend
ent upon demand, Jones said. It
is hoped that another plane can
be added to give increased local
service with additional stops.
The council members asked per-
tinent questions and received
fortnight answers. Chief need i'm
mediately is for lighting of the
field. The council is working on
that phase and in addition is de-
veloping a long-range program for
the field. IT..
The Beechcraft has the highest
airline rating with one exception.
It is fully equipped with all ne
cessary instruments as well as
consideration for comfort of pas
sengers. c.g...- 49, III r, q ~
