Deputies. Of Big Four
Split in De|iberation
On Italian Colonies
By the Associated Press

LONDON, Oct. THE score was
2 to 1.-TWO agreements and two dis
agreements-as Big Four deputies
celebrating disposition of Italy's
prewar African colonies assembled
today for their third session.
They agreed, at yesterdays ses-
sion, to:
/. Hear claims of Italy, Ethiopia
and Egypt before making any final
decisions.
2. Send Investigators to each of the
colonies-Eritreat, italian Somali-
land. Tripolitania and Cyrenaica-
before making disposition.
They disagreed over:
!. What other nations should be
consulted, beside those with terri
torial claims, before making final de-
cisions. Britain favored hearing any
nation which wanted to be heard.
The United States thought only
those who fought with the Allies in
I1A2 1Soil IaAliPoA6AAo oiiSUAo VIC
heard Russia proposed that any
nation which signed the Italian
peace treaty should be heard. France
sided with Russia.
g. How many commissions of in
vestigators to send to the colonies.
Russia proposed sending two, one to
Eritrea and Somaliland and one to
Cyrenaica and Tripolitania. The
other three powers thought one COM
mission was enough for all.
An American informant said the
American delegate, Waldemar Gall
man, Charge d'Affaires in the EN-
bassy in London. did not take a seri-
Gus view of the disagreements. He
was quoted as being hopeful of full
agreement on procedure by No
vember /.
The Big -Four powers have until
September 15 1948, to decide on dis
position of the colonies. After that
it becomes United Nations problem.

Erupting Iceland Volcano
Appears as Ball Of Fire

NEW YORK, Nov. % (NANA -
The Icelandic volcano, Hekla. now
has been erupting for seven months,
and the whole mountain, the slopes
of which are entirely covered with
lava, appears in the long Arctic
night as huge ball of fire, gleam-
ing over the northern glacier.
A report from Reykjavik says that
lava-which comes from two huge
craters and is running in eight
broad streams from the foot of the
volcano-has buried II square miles
of meager Icelandic pasture under a
molten blanket 100 feet thick at
certain places.
On the other hand, thousands of
acres which had been buried by
ashes from the volcano last spring
now have been cleared by the tor
rental rains which have fallen over
Southern Iceland this summer. Only
nearby mountain tops and some
ridges remain covered.

Lord Mountbattens daughter, Pam

The Rev. r. Corbett- Milward, as

asked that she and Philip be seated
in ordinary cane chairs instead Of
in the Mountbattens' ornate family
pew, elevated above the rest of the

Normally the abbey seats 800 per-
