 lie is anxious to start work on preliminary plans for the German treaty and, if necessary, is willing to defer indefinitely completion of the treaties for Italy, Romania, Bull garia, Hungary and Finland rather than slog along at present snail's pace.
 Veto Issue StiIl Undecided
 The toregin ministers haven't gotten very far with other matters they are considering. The Big Five. which includes China, have held one private meeting on the Security Council. veto issue and were tenta- lively scheduled to resume discus sion of 1t today.
 But continuation of debate in the LIN Assembly over the Soviet pro- posal for making public data on troops in foreign lands may cause cancellation of the veto discussion. Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Molo- ptoy wants to be present at Lake Success.
 The troop issue is closely linked with the one on which the Big Four became deadlocked again last night over Trieste. Russia wants to set a definite date for withdrawal of AraArfaan Dsstf9ck WsRnArlnNf troops from the area which will be- come the free territory Of Trieste. Britain and the United States want to leave the fixing of dates to the Security Council in which they both have a veto.
 After four hours of debate with out progress on this and Soviet de- maIlds for special economic privi- leges for Yugosiavia in Trieste, it was blunt-speaking British Foreign Minister Ernest BeVin who said de- Jectedly, If We are ever to have a treaty at all"
 Struggled Along In Hope
 A week ago Byrnes was prepared | to call of efforts of the present | council session to write final drafts | and just let the satellite nations go | on without peace treaties for a | while longer. About the time he | was thinking in those terms, the | ministers ran into a spurt of prog ress on the Trieste statute and | Byrnes decided to struggle along for a while.
 But now he has his top advisers on Germany here waiting to start | the promised preliminary Big Four talks on that country and Byrnes is unlikely to want to tolerate con- tinued long delays. 1
 A week ago the major stumbling block to agreement among the Big | Four was over how much power the governor of Trieste should have. That was settled finally by Soviet concessions.
 Today the major stumbling block is oyer withdrawal of foreign troops in Trieste and Molotov has hinted many times that he expects the western powers to give in on that.

 Britain planned to fight to the last to have the 54-nation Political Committee delay a decision on the Soviet proposal, and seek to couple 1t with the next item on the com mittee's calendar-the subject of world disarmament. This also was brought into the Assembly by So- viet Russia. but Soviet Foreign Min. ister Viacheslav Molotov hoped to vi" sanction for the survey of all Allied overseas forces before plung- ins into the more momentous stage of the debate over whether nations car safely scrap their weapons and armies.

HarUard Physicist To Measure Sky

Cambridge. Mass, Nov. p.
 UP)-A Harvard physicist said today he would employ radar- like methods in an attempt to measure how high the sky is during tomorrow's partial eclipse.
 pr. J. 4. Pierce, a, research fellow in physicics. described his experiment as ionosphere sounding, which consists of measuring ionized layers of gas that reflect radio dawes.
 The method is closely related to radar. he said, but is done at lower frequencies. The only time such an experiment can be con-
 ducted. he said, is during an eclipse. since 1t then is possible to determine what kind of energy from the sun makes the ionization of the layers of gas.

ArmyFinds Lost Plane High inAIps
 Food, Clothing.
 Medicine Dropped
 To Survivors

Paris, Nov. a. (UP) A Aerial searchers today found in the tower- ing Alps of South Central Switzer- land the wreckage Of a transpor, plane missing three days with Il Americans, at least four of whom were seen on the snow blauketed mountainside.
 A U. s. Army Super-fortress and a Flying Fortress were wheeling over the scene after dropping food. cloth- ing and medicine to the survivors.
 The first reports radioed from the scene i2 miles southeast of Inter- laken, Switzerland, gave assurance that there were survivors of the har- rowing experience Tn addition to the four persons seen outside the wrecked transport, officials "pre- sumed" that others were inside.
 Snavely Pilots Plane
 The Fortress which discovered the missing transport was piloted by Brig. Gen. Ralph A. Snayely, hsls- band of one of the three wives of generals aboard the C-53 which went down in the Alps while flying from Munich to Italy.
 Also aboard the crashed ship were Brig. Gen. Loyal M. Haynes, head of Gen. Mark W. Clark's advisory staff in Austria, Col. William c. McMa- hon. retiring chief of staff in Aus tria, and his ii-year-old daughter. Alice.
 U. S. Army Air Force headquarters at WieSbaden flashed the first word of the discovery. some i40 miles northeast of the original center of the search southeast of Grenoble.
 4 fleet of CATS set out for the scene with additional supplies to drop to the stranded Americans.
 Reaches TreAcherOus
 They were in the deep snow blank eting the Grinewald glacier south- east of Interlaken in some of the loftiest and most treacherous reaches of the Alps.
 One report said Brig. Gen. Ralph H. Tate, whose wife was in the stranded party along with their son, the pilot of the c-53, was aboard the Fortress which made the discovery.
 There was no immediate word as to how long it might take rescue parties to reach the scene by land. Relays of planes were circliny con- tinuolisly over the scene to block any possibility of losing the location.

Reminds of Early Days

On the northeast corner of Thir-
teenth and K streets lived Lewis
Clephane, of an early Washington
family. Next door to Mr.. Clephane
resided William Grier, a Navy De-
partment official. At the southeast
corner of Thirteenth and L streets,
at later date, was the Church of
Our Father, and on the northwest
corner of Thirteenth and L streets
was the grocery store of Michael
Green, as early as 1860. And the
old house at Eleventh and L streets,
covered with wistaria vines, was a
landmark few Washingtonians, IA
miliar with this locality, will never
forget. The remodeled old home
of James A. Garfield, still stands at
the northeast corner of l and Thir-
teenth streets.
Where Is now gasoline station,
at the northwest corner of K and
! Thirteenth streets, was once the
Mexican Legation. and in the third
house from the Legation (no longer
standing) the treaty of Washington,
for the settlement of claims growing
out of the depredations of the Con-
federate cruiser Alabama, was
signed May 8, 1871. The Franklin
School Building, at the southeast
corner of Thirteenth and K streets,
which was furnished in 1869, still
stands as reminder of early school

Bus lines edged into the transit
picture as shuttle services to get
the passengers from their doorsteps
to the main trolley lines.
As city life began to take on soma
of the hustle-bustle we know today,
the old trolley lost some of its
efficiency Traffic jams caused by
the popularity of private cars slowed
the trolleys and made the traffic
lodging bus a faster way of travelling.
The bus doesn't hog the middle Of
the road, explains Transportation
Engineer Willier, former professor of
transportation at Yale and now
market and traffic consultant for
Douglas Leigh, Inc. It's safer, be-
cause 1t picks up and discharges
passengers at the curb.
Even in cities where the trolley
Is surviving today, it's in a new
streamlined form that makes the
old streetcar look like a poor rela-
ton. In such cities as Atlanta,
Cleveland and Philadelphia, the
comparative cheapness of streetcar
electric operation, and the fact that
streetcars carry more people per
unit than buses. has stimulated the
use of the trackless trolley. These
modern cars derive their power from
overhead lines, but are not tracked.
and can nose over to the curb when
necessary.
But no matter how you look at
it, the happy heyday of the old
trolley has passed. Like the horse
and buggy, there will probably al
ways be few around for nostalgia
souls to reminisce about, but even

IN CITY after city the clang-
clang of the trolley bell is be-
ing drowned out by the honk-
honk of the bus horn.
Here in Washington-with its
mass transportation headaches-the
trolley is making last stand in
the form of the supertrolley We see
scooting almost noiselessly along
our streets every day. Styled the

mittee) car, this streamliner of ur-
ban rails is also being used in sew
eral other American cities.
A far cry from the old open sided
summer trolley or the winter cars
of yesterday which were equipped
with pot-bellied stoves frequently
fired by the passengers, the PEG
cars are the last word in modern
streamlining. They boast rubber
cushioned wheels, smooth starting
and stopping, quiet operation and
electrics braking. Cars like these,
transit experts believe, may con-
tinue to be used on major transit
routes in some large cities.
The buses may not have the per-
sonality of the old streetcars, but
they get the passengers where
they're going in better style.
Many cities already have made
a complete changeover from troll
leys to buses-among them Houston,
San Antonio, Syracuse, Fort Worth,
Jacksonville, Miami, Nashville, Hart
ford and Grand Rapids.
The trend began before the war.
Thomas E. Willier, transportation
engineer, reports that in 1884 there
were $4,000 streetcars and only 49,
TOO city buses in the country. Ten
years later the proportion had just
about reversed itself. with $1,000
streetcars and $4,000 city buses. Sew
eral hundred buses will be added to
that score next year in New York
alone, when the Third Avenue
Transit Co. hopes to replace all its
trolleys along five main thorough
fares, including Broadway and
Forty-second street.

Bus Takes
Right of Way

During the war. busline expansion
was handicapped by lack of equip
ment, gasoline rationing, bigger pas
senger loads, due to lack of private
cars on the road, and shortages of
tires and labor. Now that these
shortages have eased up, Willier
says, the trolley is giving the bus
the right of way again.
At the turn of the century, during
the heyday of the streetcar, the
choicest home sites lay along the
trolley routes connecting residential
areas with downtown districts, and
