will fully meet the needs of the

On u. n. Trusteeship Plan

TOKYO, Dec. 15.-Opposition to
Gen. MacArthur's proposal for a
United Nations trusteeship over
Japan was voiced today by two for
mer diplomats who are heading a
japanese campaign for member
ship in the international organi-
cation.
Naotake Sato, former Foreign
Minister, and Ken Harada. one
time Minister to the Vatican. said
a trusteeship would be 'unsuit-
able" However. they said U. N.
supervision would be preferable to
that of the Far Eastern Commits
sion if a control organization Is
necessary after the completion of

Gen. Macarthur suggested a
trusteeship for Japan last March

The Mount Rainier Volunteer Fire
Department and the Bladensburg

found Mr.. Lamphier by the tele-
phone and Mrs. Lamphier upstairs,
semi-conscious. They revived them
and summoned the family physician.
The gas came from the furnace,
from which the smoke pipe had
become dislodged.
Some time in the three hours that
Mr.. Lamphier struggled against I'M

an upstairs window. This probably
was a factor in saving the two lives.

New Trunk Subway Line
Planned in New York
By the Assoeioied Prexs

NEW YORK, Dec. l5.-Detailed
plans for a Second avenue trunk
line subway, providing connections
with the three other city-owned
subway systems, were announced
yesterday by the Board OF Trans
portation.
The new link, to be built at a
cost of $500, 100000, will run lrolh
Grand street, Manhattan, to One
Hundred Forty ninth street and
Third avenue, the Bronx.
The board said the proposed new
six-track subway and changes in
existing lines are designed to make
use of the full potentialities of the
existing lines in the outlying
boroughs."
The project will make possible
direct travel with a minimum of
transfers. and is designed to in
crease maximum hourly passenger
capacity on some runs by as much
as $50 per cent, the announcement
said.
