IndOnesia Asks E For International Arbitration /
tBY Stanley Swinton)

BATAVIA, Java. lP)-The In- doneSian government asked the United States yesterday to use its influence with the Netherlands and the United Nations to have "an international arbitration commis- sion dispatched without delay to Indonesia" to mediate Dutch In donesian conflicts.
 The statement, broadcast in the name of Republican Premier Amir Sjarifoeddin over the Jogjakarta radio, was in reply to a United States offer of it's good offices" in mediating the dispute in which an uneasy truce now prevails. The Dutch previously accepted the of fer.
 In effect, the Indonesian state ment amounted to rejection of the United States as the sole arbiter of the controversy.
 The IndoneSian government feels,' the statement said, that in view of the fact that two years of mediation and negotiation have failed to halt hostilities, United Nations arbitration is the only means to settle the matter"
 Sjarifoeddin earlier said he hoped that such commission would be made up of the United States, Great Britain, Australia, India, the Philippines and per haps Siam.

 The courtroom was crowded long after midnight while the jury deliberated seven hours. De- fendant, prosecutor, states wit ness, clerk of court, and Judge C.. E Conner played pinochle as they waited.
 The jury filed in. The game broke up and the crowd stopped it's chatter to hear the verdict-in- nocent.

Find Body Of Baby
 Drowned In Ocean

FALMOUTH, Mass. (P) - The body of Nancy Perini, 4, niece of Lou Perini, millionaire contractor and part owner of the Boston Braves baseball club, missing since yesterday, was recovered today from the ocean in full view of her parents watching dragging opera tions from the family porch.
 The body was recovered while district attorney Frank E. Smiths investigators were proceeding on the theory she had been kidnapped. Police said there appeared to be no doubt the drowning was purely accidental.
 The body was hooked by fire men who began dragging opera tion at am. under floodlights.
 As it was pulled ashore, Mrs. Perini cried, "Oh, my baby" and collapsed in the arms of her hus- band, Charles, a Braves stock holder and associate of his brother Lou, in the contracting business. He carried her gently into the family summer home.

Four Dead As Plane Plunges Into Gas Burner

EVERETT, Mass. P)-A small airplane plunged out of a fog shrouded sky early yesterday into flaming waste-gas burner of a monster oil plant-carrying to fiery death the ships four social ly prominent occupants as the pi- lot apparently thought he was shooting down into brightly-lit Boston airport.
 The dead were: Thomas Man dell, 46, treasurer of the carrier -Mandell Air Conditioning Corp. of Boston and son of the late George S. Mandell, publisher of the old Boston Transcript.
 Mandell's two debutante daugh- ters-Anne, 29, and Harriot, l9, both of Boston.
 Pilot Nelson Pell, 32-year-old veteran flier and member of so- cially prominent Long Island, N. r.. family.
 Flying the Mandells back from Montreal, Pell is believed to have became lost in the murky early morning fog and to have mistaken the lights flaring atop huge gaso- line still of the Beacon Oil com pany for the lights of an airport, fire officials said.
 Witnesses said that the small Stinson aircraft-its motors silent dropped into the mouth of the chimney-like furnace Hike a dead pigeon" after narrowly missing several towering tanks containing high explosive petroleum prod uctS.
 The furnace-resembling a huge brick silo-riseS about 50 feet in the middle of the oil plant The small plane was completely swal- lowed up as it dropped into the 2O-foot wide field burner"
 An explosion rocked the area as the plane crashed. The body of one girl fell between the outer and in ner walls of the great walled brick and steel cylinder. The other three plunged into the red-hot flaming interior and were burned beyond recognition within a few minutes.

UPHOLDs CANNERIEs
 IN 1946 REGULATION SUIT

SAN FRANCISCO - An Alaska Federal Court order barring en- forcement of certain provisions of the 1946 Alaska Fisheries General Regulations by the Interior Dcvart- ment was affirmed this week by the U. s. Circuit Court of Appeals
 The decision was on an appeal by Frank Hynes Regional Director of the Fish and Wildlife Service of the Department of the Interior
 The District Court granted seven large packing companies an injunc- tiOn preventing Hynes from enforc- ing certain restrictive provisions Of the general regulations. and also from seizing boats and fishing equipment in waters adjacent to the Karluk Indian Reservation on Kodiak Island.
 The companies. representing a $7O,OOO.OO0 annual fishing busi- ness in the Alaskan area, would have been prevented from fishing around Karluk Reservation under the challenged provisions
 They argued that the Secretary of the Interior did not have the right to create a monopoly for In dians fishing more than 5000 feet off the main shore line.
 This view was upheld by the lower court and affirmed by the Court of Appeals.
 Under the decision, the compan- ies may fish up to within 5000 feet of the main shore line. Persons familiar with the suit said the de- cision was expected to lead to sim liar action in connection with some 80 other Indian reservations in Al askan waters, all of whish pres ently have closed rights to fishing at the mouths of certain streams for certain distances offshore.
 Companies involved in the suit against Hynes were the Grimes Packing Company, Libby, McNeill & Libby, Kakih Fisheries Com pany, Frank McConaghy and Com pany, Inc, San Juan Fishing and Packing Company and Uganik Fisheries, Inc.
