|'48 Assembly Session
In Paris, Geneva or
Brussels Seen Likely
By tho Assoeioted Press


LAKE SUCCESS, Nov. 1.-The
United Nations Assembly probably
will hold Its 1s48 session in Paris,
Geneva or Brussels, an authorita-
tive source said today.
Temporary shifting of U. N. &C
tivities from the United States fol
the two or three month period was
regarded by this source as virtually
certain with selection of the Euro
pean site the only issue to be settled
France formally proposed last
Thursday that the Assembly move
to Europe for its 1948 session.
Secretary-General Trygve Lie Is
understood to have quietly given
his consent to the European plan
However, he is reported to feel that
the current Assembly should not
pick the city but should leave the
selection either to the U. N. itself
or to a special committee.
Series of Bids Expected.
Delegates are expected to vote the
transfer during the closing days OF
the current session, probably late
this month. The actual decision can
be expected to produce a series OF
invitations. Locating Of the AS
sembly with other U. N. organs fol
the period would mean approx
mately $5,00o,000 in income to the
city finally selected.
U. N. officials estimate it will cost
about $1,500,000 more to hold the
Assembly in Europe than here,
where all facilities are available.
Transfer means that technical
equipment, such as the simultane-
GUS Interpretation machinery, will
have to be shipped abroad. Britain
was understood to be opposed to
the move in line with her general
argument against increased eX-

at such a time.
Should the Assembly 60 to Eu-
rope, the Security Council and other
major organs would go along. This
would mean virtual desertion of
headquarters here for several
months and the U. n. probably
would utilize the transfer time to
give many of the staff home leave
and vacations

bay, which is part OF New York
Harbor.
Mayor Vincent J. Murphy said
that some agreement to stave off the
pending battle was in sight as the
result of his two-hour conference
yesterday with Navy officials.
But" the Mayor said sternly, "the
entrance to the Port of Newark
will continue to be blockaded by
our fireboat navy until the agree
ment is signed, sealed and de-
livered."
Despite possibility of Washing
ton truce, however, some new COM
plications were reported brewing at
Santa Fe, N. Mex. The Chamber
of Commerce there said it plans
to protest Newark's "slur" in re-
fusing admittance to the one-time
battleship bearing that States name.
The New Mexico is owned now
by Lipsett, Inc, New York salvage
firm which purchased 1t for scrap
ping purposes and also leased part
of the Newark Navy base for the
dismantling job.
City officials, who previously had
requested the Navy to give up its
wartime base at Port Newark in
order to permit a $70,000,000 eX-
pansion program to get under way,
called out their fireboat fleet on
Tuesday after learning that the
New Mexico was enroute here for
scrapping.
Mayor Murphy said the Navy's
decision to let Lipsett dismantle the
old battlewagon here would delay
the proposed port development pro-
gram.

NEWARK, N. j., Nov. 13.-The
decommissioned battleship New
Mexico, temporarily lost at sea
while en- route to her last bat
tle," was found today by Coast
Guard search plane and tugs
were rushed to take her in tow
once more.
The ship was located So miles out
side of New York Harbor. The 30
000-ton super dreadnaught was en-
route from Boston to her final
battle" with two tiny flreboats at
tempting to keep her from the Port
of Newark when she was cut adrift
in heavy seas late yesterday.
Shippers of the two tugs which cut
her loose reported earlier today to
the Coast Guard that they were un-
able to relocate the big ship.
Three men were believed aboard
the battleship which Newark Of
ficials sought to prevent from being
scrapped on the city's water front.
The city government had ruled no
more ships should be junked in the
city.
, The Meseck Towing Co., owner of
the tugs, informed the Coast Guard
that the New Mexico was well lighted
and that they retained contact with
her through most of the night.
Newark officials, determined that
no more ships be scrapped on the
city's waterfront, meanwhile kept

AustinC Canfie!dAgree
To Sit as Member Of
Murphy Trial Board

Austin F. Garfield, former presi-
dent of the District Bar Associa-
ton, said today he had agreed to
sit on a three-man trial board which
will hear charges against Fire Chief
Clement Murphy, but that he had
not been officially notified of the ap-
pointment.
The District Commissioners tele-
phoned him Monday. shortly after
they had decided on the trial board
action, and asked him to serve,
Mr.. Garfield said. The attorney gave
his affirmative answer later the
same day.
"I think any announcement about
the board should come from the
Commissioners" Mr.. Garfield said.
He added that he presumed he would
be notified of his appointment when
the District heads had obtained all
members of the board.
Leahy Unable to Serve.
The Commissioners were meeting
today, and it was likely they would
discuss the trial board, but there
was no certainty as to when its
members would be announced.
1t also was disclosed that William
E. Leahy, former head of the District
Selective Service System, had been
asked to allow his name to be con-
sidered, but declined Mr.. Leahy
was recently appointed to the
chest X-ray campaign and will de-
vote his time to this campaign.
A. Julian BrylaWski, attorney and
head of the real estate section of the
Warner Bros Circuit Management
Corp. here. also said today that he
had been forced to decline to serve
on the board because of the time
involved.
Decentralization Charged.
Charges of demoralizing the de-
partment were lodged against Chief
Murphy last summer by Capt.
Joseph w. Conroy. The corpora
ton counsels Office investigated
the charges for four months and
submitted lengthy report to the
Commissioners.
Preparation of the formal case
against Chief Murphy probably will
not be completed before the end
of next week. The Commissioners
estimated six weeks would be re-
ouired to hear the testimony.

the growth of moral qualities in

process that cannot be regulated by

paper he would want some police
reporters as basic members of his

Laughingly, the President said
some columnists are reporters who
have got so well off they don't have
to worry about the facts. Mr.. Tru-
man told the group there is nothing
more important in the newspaper
business than getting the facts.

Nevertheless, he said, newspapers
can play an important role in keep
ing the public informed on those
phases of atomic energy not classi-
fled as secret. He suggested that
all metropolitan papers have one
intelligent layman' who would de-
vote his full time to studying atomic
energy and presenting stories to

citizens of Manzanillo one of their
proudest possessions-the historic

out the signal for Cuba's uprising
against Spain in 1868.
The 304-pound bronze bell was
taken from the Eastern Cuban city
last week for use at a students

vana. 1t was subsequently stolen
from the university, but two days
later was delivered to President

Separation Of Federal ,
Local Cases 10 Bring
Trouble, Laws Warns

Chief Justice Bolitha J. Laws of
District Court warned last night
that proposals to reorganize the
court system of the National Capt.
tai to separate Federal cases from
local ones would bring troubles
galore"
The iurist told the District Bar
Association in the Mayf1ower Hotel
that he and Associate Justice Harold
M. Stephens of the United States
Court of Appeals here had opposed
such suggestions last July before
the House District Subcommittee on
Home Rule and Reorganization OF
the District government.
The subcommittee, headed by
Representative Auchincloss, Repub-
lican, of New Jersey, did not recon-
mend such changes in its current
preliminary report, Justice Laws
said, but reserved the right to make
a supplemental report on the sub
ject at a later date.
Emphasizing that the tissue is an
outstanding, vital and current prob
lem," Justice Laws called on the bar
associat ton to study the matter,
come out with a definite, we'll
understood plan, and submit it to
the Auchincloss committee without
delay"
2 Proposals Debated.
Two proposals were debated before
the Auchincloss committee in the
hearing, the jurist told the associa-
ton First, a local legislative body
to pass laws such as Congress enacts;
second, to strip District Federal
courts here of all except strictly
Federal jurisdiction.
Justice Stephens and Corporation
Counsel Vernon West are united
with him, Justice Laws said, in their
view that it would be a most un-
happy circumstance for Congress to
enact either" Chief Judge George
P. Barse of Municipal Court and
spokesmen for some citizens associ-
ations have contended, Justice Laws
said, that if home rule became man
datory in the city, "our court should
be so stripped"
You can imagine what tre-
mendous change that would make"
Justice Laws told the association.
For years we have had no juris-
dictional difficulties"
Constitutional Question.
On the issue of local legislative
body enacting laws for the District,
Justice Laws pointed out that he
and Justice Stevens had told the
Auchincloss committee there was
a constitutional question involved.
The Constitution, he explained,
imposes on Congress the power to
act as legislature for the District
of Columbia. In view Of the fact
that he is a judge, and might have
to decide some case in point, JUS
tice Laws said he made no definite
conclusion on the issue, in his
testimony. But he asserted he had
raised the issue as to whether or
