Seriesof Amendments
Snag u. n. Debate on
Rule ofPacific Isles
BY the Associoted Press

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y, Mar. IT,
The United States proposal to take
over the Japanese-mandated islands
under United Nations trusteeship
snagged on a series Of amendments
In the Security Council today.
Delegates who once believed ap-
proval might be speedy, met again
today to hear statements from New
Zealand, India, the Netherlands and
the Philippines and to wade through
a series of suggested changes from
Russia, Australia and Great Britain.
Warren r. Austin, the American
delegate, already has directly or in
directly turned down all the amend
nents, leading observers to predict
an extended debate. In addition the
four countries giving statements
were expected to suggest some more
changes.
The proposed agreement to place
the Pacific island chains under a
strategic area" trusteeship with the
United States as sole administrator
would amount to virtual annexation,
with the terms empowering Wash
ington to close the islands at will for
security, fortify them and ban for
eign aircraft.
Regardless of dalays, the United
States will remain on the islands,
comprising the Marshalls, Carolines
and Marianas, and including such
wartime bases as Saipan, Tinian,
Truk, Eniwetok, Kwajalein and
Majuro.
Meanwhile, the possibility arose
that Mr.. Gromyko might comment
this week on the American plans to
step into Greece and its effect on the
U. N. and especially Soviet policy.
He would have ample opportunity as
the Council probably will meet again
tomorrow to receive a three-nation
subcommittee report on Great Brit
aims mine-laying charges against
Albania. On Wednesday the Atomic
Energy Commission, with Mr..
Gromyko as chairman, will go back
into session to again take up the
problem of international control of
the bomb.

most enthusiastic auditors and

cabin cruiser, raising to seven the
number of persons sought by Army,
Navy and Coast Guard planes from
above Tampa in the Gulf of Mexico
to below Key West in the Gulf
Stream.
The Coast Guard air-sea rescue
service said a search plane had been
sent into the keys in an effort to
locate the Helen M, a 26-foot sabin
cruiser owned by Elmer Wickholm,
who is on board. The report said
Charles G. Parker; As, his son Ray,
18, and Billy Bennion, 20, all Of
Miami, also were on the craft.
The boat was due yesterday from
a fishing trip.
Meanwhile, an extensive aerial
search for two Virginians missing
in the Gulf and a Navy pilot be-
lieved down in a training plane
somewhere between Tampa and
Miami was being conducted by Army
aircraft from two bases, Navy planes
from Miami and Coast Guard craft
from st. Petersburg and Miami.
Twelve planes were to resume a
search started yesterday when the
training-type Navy aircraft was re-
ported overdue at ESQ pm. The
plane was on a routine training
flight from Tampa to Miami.

brother, w. Horace Blanchard, 80,
also of Newport News, and Seaman
Charles King, 10, of Hampton, Va,

a plate and was leaking badly.
Mr.. Blanchard said water drowned
out the engines and flooded the
ships batteries, making the ship-to-

he bailed with a 10-quart bucket
almost continuously to keep the big

Miller Hits SETTING
OF Rigid Limitations
For Security Aides
By the Assoeioted Press

Watson B. Miller, whose Fedora
Security Agency now handles Gov
ernment welfare work, protested to-
day that a pending bill to create s
full-fedged department sets forth
too rigid qualifications for the pro
posed cabinet officers top aides.
Although urging establishment O.
a Department of Health, Education
and Security with cabinet rank, Mr.
Miller lashed out in testimony pre-.
pared for the Senate Expenditure!
Committee against terms of the bill
which would make it mandatory
that:
The Undersecretery of Health be
licensed medical doctor and the
undersecretaries of education and Of
security be experienced and train
ed" in their respective fields.
Asserting the purpose of such q
new department would be ito serve
people as people" Mr.. Miller urged
the committee to steer clear of any
statutory prescriptions which woulc
hamper and limit the President
in selecting the best possible persons
for posts requiring policy decisions.
Sees Work Impeded.
He contended that professional
limitations" set forth in the bill in
troduced by Senators Taft, Repub-
lican, of Ohio and Fulbright, Demo-
crat, of Arkansas, "are foreign to
our national history" He added
that such an arrangement would
almost inevitably impede the con-
tinuing coordination of Federal ac-
tivities in health, education and
security :"
Conceding that undersecretaries
chosen strictly from professional
ranks might manage to avoid COM
petitive pressures or er-emphasis
of their several professional and di-
visional concerns" Mr.. Miller ques-
toned whether they would be in
position to contribute to the bal
anced program the people have a
right to expect"
The security administrator said
that under terms of the Taft-Ful-
bright bill the units already within
the Federal Security Agency would
not fit properly into three mutually
exclusive compartments of health
education and security"
Cites Several Units.
He cited as examples FSA's Foo6
and Drug Administration, the Office
of Vocational Rehabilitation, the
Bureau of Employees Compensation
and the Employees Compensation
Appeals Board. These, he con-
tended, have varied duties which
do not come under any single one
of the three proposed divisions.

Miss Truman probably will re-
ceive "at least 81 900 and perhaps
81 500 for the concert. an authori-
tative source said. He explained
that the fee probably would not be
decided until later today. 1t Is
impossible, he added, to make any
comparison between Miss Truman's
fee and that of other soloists with
the symphony.
Accompanying Miss Truman to
Washington today was her music
teacher, Mrs. Margaret Armstrong
Strickler. She said last night she
was completely satisfied" with the
performance.
It can say this" Mrs. Strickler
continued, There was very beau
tiful nightingale born down in Mis-

p For her debut Miss Truman wore
blue formal attire She carried a
huge bouquet of red roses sent from
the White House. Later at the
reception she told reporters she was
mot at all nervous" during the

largely to the assistance of DR..
Kruger.

he was very proud to have had a
share in launching a career am
sure, will be successful and dis
tinquisked. He described Miss
Truman as "a real trouper" and
called attention to the terrific

He answers the objection that if
the earth's center is still a piece
of the sun in heat and composition
the surface where man lives
would be unsafe. He says the 1900
mile thick crust, down to tn e
molten part of earth, is an anna
ling insulator. This he backs up
with experiences in using a little
of the earth crust as protection
against the Mauna Loa gases that
would melt steel but do not affect

not steam from water seplng into

had one steam eruption, due to
ground water running into the
lava caverns when the lava had

In virtually all the eruptions the
