Boy Killed Shedding
lis First D. {. Fatality
Due 10 Snowsform

The Washington area today
counted its first fatal accident
directly due to the cold wave
which began with the snowstorm
last Thursday and Friday.
The Weather Bureau forecast of
temperatures high enough to begin
the thaw today and tomorrow fore
shadowed treacherous driving and
walking conditions which will in
crease the dangers of accidents. The
temperature rose from 20 degrees at
6:15 I'm. to 38 at noon today.
The Weather Bureau also said the
long-range outlook" but not the
forecast, is for more snow or rain
by Saturday or Sunday, with mostly
mild and moderating temperatures
until then. An outlook" for several
days in the future is considerably
less reliable than a forecast for a
short period ahead.
Boy Hit by Truck.
The first fatality of the cold and
snow was Robert Joseph Gray, 5,
who was killed when struck by a
truck yesterday while shedding near
his Forest Glen home He is the
son of Mr.. and Mrs. c. William Gray,
1913 Seminary road, Forest Glen, Md.
Police charged Robert L. Combs,
II, of 6217 Sligo parkway, Silver
Spring, driver of the truck, with
manslaughter and with operating
without a permit. He was released
under $500 bail for appearance in
Rockville Juvenile Court March 7.
The accident, according to police,
occurred as the sled sped down an
incline on Sharon drive Into Sens
mary road. A wheel of the truck,
the police report continued, crushed
sled and boy, who died a few min
utes later in Washington Sanitar-
ium.
Two Sledders Injured.
Another shedding accident last
night, in Arlington, resulted in pos
sibly serious injuries to a 17-year-
old youth and minor injuries to a
14-year- girl.
Inability to obtain emergency
medical attention because of weather
conditions was listed as a possible
contributor to the death of an
elderly Rockville woman.
Condition of Clifford Martin, II,
of 2124 North Quebec street, Airing

Clayton Warns Ha|ting
OF Relief 10 Europe
Would Be Disastrous
By Malcolm Lomborne, Jr.

Undersecretary of State Clay
ton warned the House Foreign
Affairs Committee today that to
stop the flow of relief supplies to
Europe would be disastrous"
and to interrupt the flow would
be almost equally disastrous"
The State Department official
added that If this country fails to
provide relief now, much suffering
and economic deterioration un-
doubtedly will occur, with political
and economic consequences to the
rest of the world, ourselves included,
not pleasant to contemplate"
Mr.. Clayton was the first witness
called by the committee as it opened
hearings on a bill introduced by
Chairman Eaton to provide $780,
100000 for continuation of relief
feeding after the UNRRA ends. Mr..
Eaton's bill would set up direct
relief organization to be admin
istered solely by the United States.
President Truman asked Congress
1OE LIlS 1uIlQS ldSL FTludy. .
Yugoslavia Not Included.
Mr.. Clayton listed Austria, Greece,
Hungary, Italy and Poland as in
need of outside assistance" He
said China also may need emergency
food shipments.
Significant by their omission were
both Yugoslavia and White Russia,
which have been large recipients of
UNRRA relief.
Mr.. Clayton said that with the
possible exception Of Austria, the
administration feels that other
countries will not need further free
relief after this year. I'm the case
of Austria, some further help, al
though on a reduced scale, probably
will be needed during the calendar
year 1948," he testified.
Mr.. Clayton stressed that the
Government was anxious to see that
the total amount allocated to any
country not be determined finally at
this time.
I'VE found in the case of UNRRA
that whenever an amount was al
located, even on a tentative basis
to reduce 1t in order to take ac-
count of changing needs caused
resentment and consequent embar-
rNssment," he said.
Firm u. s. Control Urged.
"The control Of the program, !"
he said, must remain firmly in
American hands"
He promised, too, that steps"
would be taken to assure the "peo-
Piles of the countries receiving our
help would be fully informed as to
our interest in their welfare and
the extent and nature of our con-
tribution."
This appeared an obvious answer
to criticism that UNRRA supplies,
largely financed by the United
States, have been distributed abroad
with little or no credit coming to this
Nation, particularly in nations
closely associated with Soviet Russia.
Mr.. Clayton indorSed also these
additional conditions for countries
to which the relief would go:
/. A promise that they would allow
the press and radio to report on the
distribution without censorship.
| 2. A guarantee that the countries
| distribute the relief without discrim-
ination on political or racial grounds.

Freedom Like u. 5.
BY the Assoeioisd Press

TOKYO, Feb. 25.-Natives OF
Pacific Islands under American
control should receive "a meas
ure of the freedom we have al
home" Secretary of Interior
Krug told the Associated Press
today.
Mr.. Krug, in Tokyo for brief visit
after touring Pacific islands, con-
ferred with Gen. Macarthur for
two hours last night on problems
of civil government for the islands.
HE was very helpful in supplying
ideas and background from his long
experience" Mr.. Krug said.
The Secretary and his party leave
by air tonight for Hawaii, via Wake
Island. They are due in Honolulu
early Thursday to begin two-day
hearings on Hawaiian statehood.
With Mr.. Krug are Representa-
tives Poulson, Republican, of Cali
fornia and Engle, Democrat, Of Cali
fornia, Delegate Joseph. Harrington,
Republican, of Hawaii; Assistant
Secretary C. G. Davidson and other
Interior Department officials.
Mr.. Krug said that after returning
to Washington March 4 he would
report to President Truman on pro-
posals for governing Pacific islands
to be held by the United States.
Refusing to reveal precise pro-
posals he would make, Mr.. Krug
said that government of the islands
should be based on minimum inter-
ference with the natives traditions
and tribal customs"
He said he approved American
citizenship for the Guamanians and
Samoans, declaring that their long
association with the United States
should be recognized"
Mr.. Krug said he was not pre-
posed to state how much local
autonomy natives should be given,
but added, '"They should have a
measure of the freedom we have
at home and for which we fought" d"
He said the United States had
learned by experience that native
chieftains governed well when left
alone.
The Secretary expressed belief
the government of okinawa should
be disassociated from other, smaller
Pacific islands.
"Okinawa is a large land mass
with some 100000 residents" he
said. "It presents different prob
lens. I was very impressed with
the job being done there under
Macarthur"
Okinawa is being governed by
local officials under American mill
tary government teams, following
the pattern used in Japan.
Mr.. Krug pointed out that only
a few of the several thousand
islands involved presented the
question of government, since the
majority of. islets were uninhabited
or supported only a few people.

 The appeal was made by French delegate Georges Boris as the United Nations economic and so- cial council launched a general debate on the economic commis- sion for Europe.
