Three Mandates Named.

results Of a British-American in

there.
The fifth mandate is Trans-Jor-
dan, which Mr.. Bevin said was to be
made independent eventually and
therefore would not be turned over
to the international peace agency.
Mr.. Bevin, launching into the con-
troversial trusteeship question, was
the first speaker at the Assembly
meeting to disclose concrete steps
by any nation to start placing man
dated and conquered enemy terri
tories under the sovereignty of the
United Nations.
Mr.. Bevin urged the UNO to con-
slider what assistance it may give

the widespread food shortage. to

working organization to support the
agencies necessary to maintain

Soldier Facing Death
In Jap Staying Writes
Girl He Was Unarmed
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
WALLINGTON, N. j., Jan. IT,
From a stockade in Japan, Pfc.
Joseph E. Hicswa penned a letter to
a girl friend back home, telling in
confused, almost boyish words the
story of a street fight in which two
Japanese civilians were stabbed to
death.
He wrote that he had fight with
a few of them" but, the 20-year- old
Wellington youth insisted, he could
not have murdered them because he
did not have a knife.
The girl, 18-year-old Sonia An
dreyk of nearby Clifton, released
the letter yesterday. She had kept
the secret to herself-before the
family knew that Joe had been
court-martialled and sentenced to
ole. She had not mentioned it for
two days, even while the parents
were still receiving letters in which
Joe was writing about having "a
room to myself now and living like
a king"
Uncle Releases Letter.
Finally, after he news of his SEN
tence had attracted much attention
and city, State and national officials
had protested the death penalty,
Sonia told the family. An uncle
of the youth, Adam Hicswa, released
the letter.
Humor and sadness were mingled
in the story Joe told from his cell
on December Is.
The letter follows:
Il am in the stockade. They
think I murdered a couple of Japs.
I had fight with a few of them
the night of the murder, so they
got the impression that I murdered
them. They were stabbed to death.
That leaves me out right there, for
didn't thave a knife.
When they told me 1 murdered
the Jap, got excited. I didn't
think 1 hit him that hard. They
were still moaning and moving when
l left them. I guess they have to
blame somebody, SO I guess I'm
the loser. They say that if they
don't find rope strong enough to
hang the person, they'll shoot him.
l believe that is just rumor.
Works on Rockpile.
To-day they had me on the rock
pile from 7:30 this morning until
5 this afternoon They get me up
at 4:45 in the morning and we're
busy until we go to bed, usually
about or 8.
We'll, how are you. I hope you're
fine. AS for me I'm a little sore.
Boy, does it get cold here at night.
We wake up in the morning and
just hate to get out of sacks. Later,
when the sun comes up, you can
see the frost on the treetops on the
mountainside. We had a little snow
already. /" IS
Il was planning on being home
for Christmas and surprising you.
But I guess I'll have to wait for
about 20 or 30 years. Well, so long
for while, keep your chin up ana

Farben Liquidation
Nearing Completion
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, Jan. 17.-Liouidation of
the I. G. Farbenindustrie, Ger
many's greatest monopoly, is near
ing completion in the American zone
of occupation, the American mill
tary government has announced.
Brig. Gen. William Draper, direc-
tor of the AMG Economic Division
told a meeting last night of the
quadripartite committee of control
officers for the Farben combine that
the huge trust has ceased to exist
in the American zone and is now a
name only.
He said 81 of the AZ major Farben
plants in the American zone had
been destroyed or designated for
reparations and that all of Farben s
cartel arrangements had been ter
minated.
In addition, Gen. Draper said
American authorities had arrested
IL Farben directors found in the
American zone and dismissed 1,100
employees who were found to have
Nazi connections.
The Farben plants which are still
operating, he declared, were per-
mitted to produce only essential
items such as medicines, camera
equipment and articles for sale to
occupation troops.
The American zone contains only
10 per cent of the trusts plants
Fifty-eight and one-half per cent
are in the Russian zone, 20 per cent
in the French zone and lis per cent
in the British.

UN0 Unlikely 10 Get
Question Of u. 5.-HeId
japanese Islands Now
BY GOULD LINCOLN,
Star STAFF Writer.

LONDON, Jan. 17.-Despite For
eign Secretary Bevin's offer before
the United Nations Assembly today
to place three British African COL
onies under the UNO Trusteeship
Council, it does not appear likely
that the question of former jap
anese islands held by the United
States will arise at this session.
Formation of the Council, it is
pointed out, must await similar ac-
tion with regard to old League of
Nations mandates by other powers,
such as France, the Netherlands
and Belgium, for example.
Some of the Pacific islands now
in possession of the United States
were held by the Japanese under
mandate from the old League of
Nations. Others were Japanese
owned. 1t is clear that the United
States, while willing to have certain
of these islands come under the
general trusteeship system, wants
others to be closely held as "stra-
tegic areas" also under trusteeship,
but only one degree removed from
actual ownership by the United
States.
Bevin Attracts Crowd.
Mr.. Bevin'S appearance before the
Assembly today brought great
gathering of delegates and of Wis
itors. There was huge interest not
only in the expected proposals of
the. British government (Which Of
fered to submit Tanganyikka, Togo
land and the Cameroons to United
Nations trusteeship), but also in the
personality of the new Foreign Min
lister, who had been one of Winston
Churchill's right-hand men in Brit
aims war government
Mr.. Bevin made his first mark as
a labor organizer. That he is a great
organizer is proved by his accomp-
liShments during the war.
He is built something like a bar
rel. He was an impressive figure
as he addressed the Assembly in
measured terms. He spoke slowly
and distinctly, and at times with
great emphasis. There was none of
the polish, for example, of Anthony
Eden, who preceded Mr.. Bevin as
Foreign Minister. But there was
evidence OF driving strength.
Sacrifices Described.
AS Mr.. ,Bevin drew toward the
end of his address he sounded
Churchillian as he described the
sacrifices made by the British people
to win the war.
BE it remembered" he said, "that
in the last 80 years this country and
Commonwealth have been in the
forefront of great struggle right
from the beginning to the end,
and never faltered in this.
THE flower of its manhood has
been sacrificed. together with the
accumulation of its wealth over the
last 80 years. The peoples of the
British Commonwealth actually
have been engaged in battle one
day in every three. And for what
purpose?
For gains for themselves? No.
For aggrandizement? No. But
only to defeat those who would de-
stroy liberty and would harness the
souls of men to pernicious system.
With the same courage and de-
votion with which we fought those
battles, we now dedicate all our ca
pacity, courage and achievement to
building up a new world order and
peace"
At this point, the Assembly broke
into a tumultuous applause.
