BILL OF RIGHTS, NOT EFFECTED BY
 END, H05TILITIE5

The Presidential proclamation of December 3l, l946 ending hostili- ties has no effect on most laws ad- ministered by the Veterans Admin istration, Ernest E. Lincoln, Man. ager, Regional Office of the VA in Juneau, stated today.
 Foremost among the laws not af- fected by the proclamation is the G1 Bill of Rights Public Law 346) under which the vast majority of veterans receive service benefits.
 The VA solicitor has held that the date of the official termination of the war, rather than cessation of hostilities, is the determining factor in establishing the deadline for the educational, loan and re- adjustment allowance provisions of the CT Bill,' Lincoln stated.
 The same ruling applies to voca- tiona) rehabilits...on under Public Law io for disabled veterans.
 Under the GI blu, loans may De guaranteed or insured by the VA up to 10 years after the end of the war Education or job training may be started up to four years after the war, and readjustment allow ances expire two years after the end of the war. Disabled veterans under Public Law 16 face no speci- fic deadline but must complete training within nine years after the end of the war.
 In service connected death and disability cases, right depend ing on war veteran status alone, such as disqualification, domiciliary care and burial allowances, will be accorded only to those serving be- tween December ', 1941 and the date of President Truman's procla- mation December 31, 1946.
 ALSO allecJeu, LlncOm said, are army and coast guard cadets and navy midshipmen. They no longer have an active duty status for the purposes of laws administered by the VA. Therefore, their service after December 31, l946 as cadets CT midshipmen may not be credited for veteran benefits.
 The VA ruling, Lincoln concluded, specifics that wartime rates of compensation will continueisto ap- ply to service connected disability and death eases for menthsrs of the armed forces until theioffioial termination of the war.

me jointly your conclusions, at earl lest practicable moment. (Signed) E L. Bartlett
 At the conclusion of yeading to the body of Bartlett's wire, Sen- ate President Nerland stressed to his colleagues the need for prompt and speedy handling of the mat ter. The communication was re- ferred to the Transportation Com mittee. which. at Senator O. D. Cochran's request, was instructed to attempt to secure reports on all evidence presented at various hear ings that have been held on the Alaska maritime situation.
 Before the matter went to com- mittee, however, Senator Edward b. Coffey, under special privilege, '" declared:
 T am opposed, now and forever, to any freight rate increase"
 Coffey warned that there is no such thing as a temporary increase to the ship lines The temporary nature of any increase is soon for gotten, he stressed. Recalling that the companies have repeatedly ask ed. and received increases, Coffey expressed his belief that, for once, the operators should approach their problsm on the theory of asking a rate decrease. They would find they didn't need an increase Cof- fey concluded.

NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-Mrs. Sari
Gabor Hilton has had three anony-
nous telephone calls, one warning
her to keep mouth shut or
else =" since a well-dressed
robber walked out of her pent-
house apartment Saturday with a
fortune in jewels, police disclosed

at between 100000 and 100000

threatening to shoot her 6-month-
old daughter, Constance. The 20
or more pieces we're set with dia-
monds as large as 20 carats.

WherrY Asks Pledge
OF Foreign Capital in
u. :. as Aid Collateral
By ]. A. O'Leory

A demand that the administrati tion
find out how much foreign private
capital is invested in this country
that could be put up as collateral
for proposed aid under the Mashall
plan was made today by Senator
Wherry of Nebraska, Republican
whip.
He said the best information avail
able to him indicates there may be
$14, 1000, 900, 900 of such flight capi-
tai" from England, France and
other parts of Europe in the United
States.
1T seems to me if we are going to
require Americans to pay taxes out
of their pockets to protect the priv
ate capital of foreigners invested
over here, we ought to find out If
any of the capital is available for
collateral" the Nebraskan declared.
As to the general problem of aid
ing Europe. he said he would favor
using all the surplus food raised In
this country to aid the starving, but
that when it comes to shipping other
resources, such AS steel, oil and cot
ton, the effect of such shipments
should be carefully considered, be-
cause they are playing havoc with
the domestic economy"
The Senator told a press confer
ence he has decided not to go abroad
with the Appropriations Committee
next week because he covered nearly
the same areas 10 months ago and
has several important committee
jobs here
He said he sees no need for a spe-
cial session unless the adminLstra-

LONDON, Oct. 6.-The Big
Four Deputy Foreign Ministers
will discard all previous plans
for the disposition of Italy's for
mer colonies when they recon-
vene today, British informants
said, and will make a fresh start
in deciding the future of Libya,
Eritrea and Italian Somaliland.
The informants said the deputies
from Britain, the United States,
France and Russia would scrap pro-
posals for trusteeships of the terri
tories-Which were discussed by the
Big -Four in London two years ago
and later in Paris-as we'll as the
United States plan for an interna-

Italy, under. her peace treaty ef-

the treaty provided that the
United States, Britain, Russia and
France were to determine jointly
final disposition of the colonies
within a year from PRONUNCIATION of

Last February 10 the Big Four
made an agreement providing that
if these powers failed to agree on
such disposition within the allotted
time, the matter would be referred
to the United Nations General As

the four powers agreeing to accept
such a recommendation and put it
into effect.

AssaiIs zionism as
Much Like Naziiism'
By the Asso<ioted Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Oct. 6.-Renew-
ing the Arab hight against proposed
partition of Palestine, Foreign Min
lister Fadhil Jamah of ----aq today
attacked Zionism as an aggressive
and virulent" political movement.
He said it was very much like
Naziism."
Mr.. Jamali declared that Zionism
has nothing to do with Palestine
except in its aim to penetrate the
Middle East, using Palestine as a
gate" He added that "it follows
the same methods of propaganda
and the same method of aggression
and penetration as those of the
Nazis."
Mr.. Jamali also delivered a Wig
orous attack on the United States
for what he called :interfering" in
Palestine affairs. He said this inter-
ference was just as bad as interfer-
ence of the Soviet satellites in
Greece which the United States
was trying to stop.
Premier Also Speaks.
Mr.. Jamali and Nuri Pasha Es
Said, Premier of Iraq, spoke be-
fore the 57-nation Palestine Com
mittee of the United Nations as
sembly in a double -barrelled ap-
peal for an independent Arab state
covering all of Palestine,
Zionists circles were reported con-
fident( that the United States would
indorse an 11-member United Ma
tions Commission majority report
calling for partition of Palestine
into sovereign Jewish and Arab
countries. There still was no OFF,
cial American comment.
Most Zionists hope for partition
in the knowledge that they cannot
nave all of Palestine.
U. S. Sources Silent.
American sources maintained
strict silence on Secretary OF State
Marshalls plans and would not even
confirm the date of the forthcoming
United States speech. It was under
stood from a member of the Assem-
bly's 57-nation Palestine Committee
that the United States declaration
of policy would be made on. Thurs
day. Whether Gen. Marshall him.
self, Delegate Herschel v. johnson
or Deputy Delegate John Hilldring,
Secretary of State and
major general, would actually give
the speech still was not announced.
Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister
Andrei Y. Vishinsky has been equal
ly tight-lipped on when the Russian
reaction will come or what it will
be. Last spring the Russians sug-
gested a joint state, called for in a
minority report of the Palestine In
Quiry Commission, as first choice
and partition as an alternative.
For nearly a week Mr.. Vishinsky
has been in virtual seclusion at the
Long Island estate reserved for For
eign Minister Molotov-who still

pected to appear here late todSy to
