on troop census (Story, Page A-4)
by the Associoted Press

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y, Nov
23.-In the face of bitter oppo-
sition, India today withdrew a
proposal to take the administra-
ton of Western Samoa, former
League of Nations mandate, out
of the hands of New Zealand and
place it directly under the United
Nations.
india gave up her fight after both
the United States and Great Britain
asserted in a United Nations trustee
ship subcommittee that approval OF
the Indian proposal might scuttle
the whole U. N. trusteeship system.
In opposing the Indian proposal,
United States Representative John
Foster Dulles declared it would Be
impossible to create the trusteeship
council unless individual nations
were named as administering powers
in the initial draft agreements.
He pointed out that the machin-
cry laid down in the U. N. charter
for setting up the council is based
on the assumption that there will be
individual administering powers.
Briton Cites Chance of Failure.
British Delegate Ivor Thomas de-
clared that if the assembly insisted
on amending the draft agreements
to eliminate the principle of individ-
ual administrators there will be nc
agreements and the trusteeship sys-

The subcommittee then approved

3 Coal Mine Truckers
Report Ohio Ambuscade
BY the Associated Press

BRIDGEPORT, Ohio, Nov. 23.-
Three truckers employed by an in
dependent nonunion strip coal mine
at Glen Robbins, Ohio, reported to
the State highway patrol today that
they were fired on yesterday by a
concealed gunman.
S. D. Pados of Tiltonsville, Ohio,
told a Wheeling, w. Va, newsman
that six shots, apparently from a
rife, were fired as he and two
other truck drivers stopped to
weigh their loads at the scale house
of the Toner Coal Co.
The Ohio highway patrol at
Bridgeport would not comment, but
an officer told a reporter that the
case had been brought to the at
tention of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation.
Mr.. Pados said none of the men
was wounded and that they drove
away quickly despite the fact that
the tires of two of the trucks were
punctured by the bullets.
He said the gunman was con-
cealed in an abandoned strip mine
spoil bank" about 600 yards from
the coal scales.
The Toner mine had continued
to operate its power shovels during
the bituminous mine shutdown after
the owner obtained permission
from United Mine Workers officials,
MIR. Pados said.

6. Q. p 'sPIans 10 End
Truman 5 War Power
Radically Altered
Wiley Cites Difficulties
If Resolution to Geese
HostiIities Were Passed
sY the As.eeiassd Pres,

Republican plans to sweep
away wartime powers of the
President and end many Gov
ernment controls appeared yes
terday to have been altered rad
ically, due in large part to the
coal strike.
Senator Wiley Of Wisconsin,
named by the Senate COP Steering
Committee to recommend action on
terminating war controls. told a re-
porter that If he has his way a
careful study will be made before
his party decides which regulations
1t wants to chop off Immediately
and which 1t wants to keep while.
As an example, Senator Wiley
noted that any resolution to declare
hostilitieS at an end would auto
matically repeal six months later the
Smith Conually Plant Seizure Act
under which the Government is pro-
ceeding in its battle with John L.
Lewis.
May Keep Other Measures.
He said there obviously are other
wartime measures that the Repub-
licans will want to keep on the
books for while at least.
His study of more than 500 pieces
of wartime legislation has brought
him to at least one conclusion.
Senator Wiley said he probably will
recommend legislation placing rent
controls under State jurisdiction.
'I think that is a matter where
only agencies can do equity to the
landlords and the renters" he re-
marked. st have contended all
along that there is authority in the
law for the local adjustment of
rents on an equitable basis, but the
OPA has insisted on a freeze"
Agreeing that the Republicans
must go slowly, Senator Ball, of
Minnesota, said he thinks it will
take several weeks to determine
which controls should be repealed

From Neptune Room

A bandit last night held up the
crowded Neptune Room Restaurant
in the Earle Building, Thirteenth
and E streets NV, and fed with
contents of the cash drawer, esti-
mated at $4,000.
. A .25-year-old man who identified
himself as civil engineer was ar
rested about As minutes later at his
home in Anacostia by police acting
on information furnished by four
patrons of the restaurant. The
patrons, Mr.. and Mrs. John Grimes,
419 Lebaum street Sc, and Mr.. and
Mrs. William p. Alexander, AIS 'Le-
baum street Sc, told police they
had recognized the holdup man, who
jostled them in fleeing, as a man
who frequented their neighborhood
The money was not recovered.
Later, at special police lineup
Mr.. and Mrs. Alexander and Mr.
Grimes identified the suspect posi-
lively as the holdup man. Mrs
Grimes said she was not sure, as did
the victim, Mrs. Nancy Harvey, 40
107 Seventh street NE.
Mr.. Alexander said he was paying
his check when the bandit thrust q
pistol in his ribs and showed him
aside. He added he thought he
heard the weapon click, indicating
the trigger may have been pulled
but that the weapon may not have
been loaded.
Police said the suspect would be
charged with the crime.
The usual supper crowd was in
the restaurant and the musicians
were playing when the robber ap-
preached the cashier at about 10:1s
o'clock.
He produced a revolver and de-
manded "aIl the money" she told
police. Mrs. Harvey said she handed
over the contents Of the drawer.
Except for q few persons near the
cashiers counter, the patrons in the
Neptune Room and adjoining Bal

Senate War Probers
Set December Il for
BiIbo Hearing Here
Committee to Investigate
Charges Linking Senator
To 3 Wur Contractors

The Senate War Investigating
Committee decided yesterday to
open public hearings here De-
cember IL on complaints involv-
ing Senator Bilbo, Democrat, of
Mississippi and three war con-
tractors. The committee an
nounced its decision after a
closed. conference with Wall
Doxey, sergeant at arms of the
Senate.
Committee members repeatedly
asked Mr.. Doxey about earlier
published statements that Senator
tBnbo allegedly received s33, ,750 from
war contractors in 1912 and used it
In behalf Of MIR. Doxey's candidacy
for the Senate.
Mr.. Doxey refused to comment on
his session with the subcommittee
which is headed by Senator Mead
Democrat, OF New York, and in
|ciudee Senators Ferguson, Repub-
licazi of Michigan. and Tunnel,
Democrat, Of Delaware. 6
The December IL date repeatedly
was set 50 that Senator Biibo could
come here to testify. The Senate
Campaign Expenditures Committee
win open hearings December in
jackson, Miss, on charges that Sen
ator Bilbo used threats, intimida-
tion and coercion to discourage Ne
groes from voting in the Democratic
primary which last summer renom-
mated him for the Senate. Members
of that committee said the hearings
will last week or 10 days.
Probe Lasts Six Months.
The War Investigating Commit
tees announcement of open hearings
on Senator Bilbo's alleged financial
transactions with war contractors
came after more than six months of
preliminary inquiry. Last June the
committee sent investigators to Mis-
sissippi. On September Is the COM
mittee received a tentative report
and decided to send additional in
vestigators.
Last Monday it voted for a full
scale committee inquiry and desig-
mated the subcommittee to conduct
closed hearings as well as to fix a
date for open hearings. During the
last week the subcommittee ques-
toned two War Department officials,
one Of its own investigators, and
Mr.. Doxey. It is understood that
these as well as several witnesses
from Mississippi win appear at the
hearings.
The main complaints, as disclosed
recently by committee officials, are
that Senator Bilbo in September,
1912, received $25,000 in four checks
from one of three contractors who
had an $11 500, 600 construction job
at Keesler Field, Biloxi, Miss. and
that he received $3.50 from an
other of the contractors.
The complaints also involve build
ing and furnishing of dream
house" for Senator Bilbo on an is
land in an .eight-acre lake near
Poplarville, Miss. Still another
complaint, as disclosed some time
ago by committee counsel, concerns
the raising of funds for building a
church parsonage. Senator Bilbo,
according to the complaints, helped
raise $4,000 by sending letters to
war contractors and others. The

course of regular training in the
school and that no special projects
intended for the contest would be
undertaken.
DR.. Corning >aiso declared art stu
dents were receiving too little rec
ognition and expressed the opinion
that the awards and the incorpora-
ton of the pictures in the calendar
would bring greater enthusiasm into
the art studies.
A full set Of rules win be an
nounced shortly. They are in prep
aration after consultation with art
instructors. One group meeting
under the Craftsmanship of Miss

especially helpful.

Herschel Johnson, United States
delegate to the United Nations
Security Council, declared to-
night that those who propose the
elimination of the five-power
veto privilege threaten the IL
quotation" of the world peace
organization.
This is the strongest United States
statement yet made in opposition tc
the small-nation campaign to abol-
ish the veto. Russia used similar
language in defending the big power
voting privilege which is presently
being discussed by the permanent
members of the Security Council In
an attempt to modify its use.
While admitting that "it is good
to subject the unanimity principle
to critical discussion, Mr.. johnson
declared:
Those who propose to eliminate
the veto power or more precisely, the
unanimity principle, are in reality
threatening the liquidation of the
United Nations"
Also Defends Veto Power.
Mr.. Johnson's declaration was
made at dinner Of the Foreign
Policy Association.
In defense of the veto power, Mr..
johnson said that when 1t comes
to a matter of committing the people
who must bear the overwhelming
share of the burden of a decision,
the representative of these people
must agree to the decision"
ut is not only democratic in
principle, but 1t is essential in COM

Mr.. johnson said that as long as
the great powers stand together,
I'VE can be sure that the decisions
taken will be effective in preserving
the peace"

There is woeful lack of informa-
ton in this country concerning
Negroes. To millions OF Americans
the sources of information are closed
voluntarily in some cases involun-
tary in others. The information
that does get out is distorted, diluted
and often misleading"
Mr.. Young complained that q

correctly that the South makes the
same provisions per capita for the
improvement of Negroes that are
made for the improvement Of white
people and no other Senator disputed
what he said.
The fact is that in the Senator's S

First WiIIkie Awards
For CoIored Press
Presented al Dinner

Miss Almena Davis, 27-year-old
co-founder of the weekly Los An
geles Tribune, received the first of
the Wendell L. Willkie Awards for
Negro Journalism last night at a
dinner attended by leading news
paper publishers and editors and by
the wife of the late presidential
candidate.
Mrs. Willkie said the presentation
Symboffzes two ideas stoutly sup
ported by her husband, the right of
every citizen to equal opportunity
and the Importance of freedom of
the press.
Assistant Secretary of State
Spruille Braden told the gathering
at the United Nations Club, 1701
Nineteenth street NV, that the
free practice of responsible journal
ism throughout the world would
eliminate international suspicion
and make irresponsible exercise
of power impossible.
Two Get $3.50 Awards.
The $500 first prize was presented
to Miss Davis by DR.. Douglas South
all Freeman, editor of the Rich
mond (Va.) News-Leader. DR.. Free
man described Miss Davis feature
articles as 'high-quality newspaper
Work-splendidly done by any test"
Two awards of $3.50 each went to
John H. Young, Sd, Washington
correspondent of the Pittsburgh
Courier, and P. Bernard Young, jr.
editor of the Norfolk journal and
Guide
Nothing is more important than
that the people everywhere have free
access to information" said Secre-
tary Braden. IF they could have
this, they would quickly break down
the barriers of ignorance and
prejudice, and having removed these
obstacles, they would not allow
themselves to be governed except
by themselves"
The speaker stressed the futility
of uttering noble sentiments" and
signing solemn pacts unless each
citizen, each group in the community
and each democratic nation be on
the alert and actively defend the
principles for which they stand"
Celebrates 119th Anniversary.
After seeing his son accept one of
the awards, P. B. Young. sr., presi-
dent and publisher of the Norfolk
Journal and Guide, declared the
principle task of the Negro press
today is to tell the true status of
race relations in America.
Celebrating its 18th anniversary,
this week, the Negro press has ex-
panded from one small sheet in New
York to a point where it has S,O00,-
