u. 5. Simp|ifies Plan
To Win Over u. n. on
Palestine Trusteeship
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

NEW YORK, April 24.-The Amer
ican delegation agreed today on q
simplified formula to put the United
Nations on record in favor of trus-
teeship for Palestine.
A spokesman for the American
delegation said the new strategy
would follow these general lines:
!. The United States would first
try to get the 58-nation Political
Committee of the General Assembly
to agree that the U. N. would be-
come the responsible authority in
Palestine when the British mandate
ends May 15
2. If the committee accepts this
principle, the United States then
would seek an agreement that a
trusteeship is the only type OF United
Nations rule provided for in the
U. N. Charter.
3. With these basic issued decided,
Assembly could get down to work
on the details of a trusteeship plan.
This could follow the lines laid down
in the American working paper now
before the delegates, or 1t could be a
simplified stop-gap plan to be used
until a long-term scheme could be
worked out.
Time Is Big Element.
With the end of the British man
date only three weeks away, time
was the big element in the Palestine
discussions, which continued here
over the week end. AS result,
there was an increasing tendency to
concentrate on emergency action.
This trend was reflected both in
the Security Councils decision last
night to set up three-nation Pales-
tine Truce Commission and In the
Political Committees decision to
give top priority to French move
to safeguard the holy places OF Jeru-
salem
The Truce Commission-composed
of the United States, France and
Belgium-is expected to begin dis
cussions Monday with Jewish and
Arab representative in an effort
to get them to observe the Security
Councils cease-f1re order Of April II.
The Political Committee is ex-
pected to give quick approval to the
French proposal which calls on the
U. N. Trusteeship Council to recon-
mend an emergency security plan
to protect Jerusalem.
Emergency Steps Pressed.
While U. N. delegations are busy
here with these emergency measures,
efforts are being continued in Wash
ington to line up trusteeship sup
port-especially military backing-in
London and other world capitals.
The American spokesman here
said he could not disclose which
countries, besides Britain and France,
are being consulted regarding troops
to enforce the trusteeship scheme.
The Chinese delegation issued
formal statement saying:
The Chinese delegation to the
United Nations states categorically
that there has been no negotiation
with the United States delegation in
New York regarding the possible use
of Chinese troops for enforcement
of q trusteeship in Palestine"

Arab students staged an angry DEM

ters during the day.
Catastrophes Cited.
AL Balagh, organ OF the powerful
Wafdist Party, declared:
We can no longer suffer one cata-
strophe after another. Zionism In
Palestine means no Arabs will be
left. Is this realized by leaders who
fly from one place to another meet
and then adjourn to dine and take
secret decisions that remain forever
secret?"
The politically independent Al
Zamane said:
I'VE can no longer bear to hear
what happened today in Haifa and
what may happen tomorrow In
Jaffa. Arab countries had pinned
their hopes to the Arab League.
We were told-wait and you will see
the flag of Arabism waving over
Palestine. But Palestine cities are
disappearing one after another
while we still are making speeches
and promises. Arab countries are
raging and demand to know what
the Arab League will do
Resentment Widespread.

ported widespread not only in
Egypt but in Syria and Iraq where
protest strikes have occurred.
The main point of the policy has
been that the seven countries In

fore the end of the British mandate

Navy Stresses Need
OF Defending 5eaways
For Vital Imports

The United States must depend
on the seaboards Of the world for
raw materials-come peace, come
war-the Navy said yesterday.
Two wars in the last 80 years
have cut heavily into the Nations
natural resources and one OF the
Nays main jobs in any future con-
flct will be guarding freighters, laden
with manganese, chrome, tin, rubber
and aluminium.
The Navy, in a book prepared for
its top councils, lists 20 representa-
tive raw materials brought from
overseas in 1916, and traces United
States "life lines" in world charts
for each material.
The continental United States
is not and has not been self-suff1-
cient in all the raw materials neces-
sary either to carry on successfully
q modern war, or to maintain q
balanced national economy in peace
time the books foreword declares.
Shortages Listed.
while we are rich in certain
natural resources, we do not have
within continental North America
adequate supplies: of manganese
and chrome, imperative in the man
ufacture Of steel: Of tin. requi-
site for engine bearings; of rubber,
indispensable to our automotive
transportation systems; of bauxite,
basic in the manufacture of alumni
mum: and of a number of other es-
sential materials.
1T is vital for the United States
to keep open the sea lanes over
which these supplies come from far
distant places"
The book makes no mention of
stockpiling of critical materials,
which is planned to prevent the
United States running out Of essen
tial supplies in wartime.
A study of the charts reveals that
all or nearly all of 10 of the 20
essential materials are procured in
the Western Hemisphere The re-
mainder come largely from Africa,
i
European Imports Small.
Small quantities of only three
ores are imported from Europe, and
presumably would be cut off in case
of conflict on that continent.
Chrome ore comes from Russia
and Turkey (l4.2 per cent?: man
ganese ore from Russia $3.50 and
tungsten from Britain, Spain,
France. Portugal and The Neither
lands (8.6 per cent?.
Most of the United States chrome
ore and manganese is imported
from Africa and India sos per cent
, and 568 per cent respectively: most
of it's tungsten from South America
(472 per cent?.
The petroleum chart showed no
imports from the strategic Persian
Gulf area, where the Navy has been
drawing fuel for its ships for years.
Navy Oil Not Shown.
The Navy took about $4,000, 900
barrels from the Persian Gulf in
ls46, an of1icial said, and is buying
at about the same rate now.
He explained the Navy's oil was
not shown on the charts since it
was used directly in the ships and
was not actually imported into the
United States. No other essential
material was handled this way.
Total United states procurement
in I946-domestic production plus,
fmports-was 1894 1888, ,42s barrels, of
which only five per cent was i'm
ported-from Mexico and South
America.

New Instrument Speeds Task
|Of Figuring Mesotron S Weiqht

Once scientists have the accurate
weight of the mesotron they will
have advanced another step toward
learning how this fantastically pow
Ferful little explosion is produced by
nature. Many researchers already
are at work trying to produce a
mesotron by artificial means but
thus far have not succeeded.
The new machine, soon to be
taken aloft in the Army Navy
backed research, weighs about one
ton, as compared to similar instru-
ments weighing as much as "a
tons.
The new instrument, consisting
of alternate layers of lead and gas,
lis intended to stop many of the
mesotrons. Lead is one of the most
effective substances for stopping
them. This sandwich will act upon
them much as alternate layers OF
wood and air would act on q rife
bullet. II a mesotron penetrates
some but not all of the plates, the
researchers will have a good idea
of its range.
With this machine, DR.. Brode
said, it may be possible to take
measurements on as many as Is
mesotrons an hour, compared with
only one day with previous instru-
ments at sea level.

NLRB Approves Union
For Time Study Men
In Worthingfon Plant

The National Labor Relations
Board has ruled that time-study

entitled to union recognition and
the protection OF law in exercising
their bargaining rights.
The decision was made in a case
Involving the Worthington Pump
Co. Holyoke, Mass, and the Time
and Motion Study Association, ar
independent union representing the
company's II time study experts.
Board members unanimously or
dered the employer to bargain with

study comes within the definition
OF professional employees who are
entitled to board protection under
the Taft-Hartley Act. The decision
established the first professional
employees unit" under the new law
Employer Opposed Union.
The men involved set time stand
ards for doing various manufactur-
ing tasks about the Worthington
plant by studying the motions oi
workers and computing the time re-
quired to do the job. In the past
such methods have been used wide
ly to speed up production, on piece

employer contended the time study

Two OF the five NLRB members
qualified their finding that the
