Justice Douglas Suggests U. s.
 Recognize China

SEATTLE, (P)-In the face of a congressional furore around his head, Supreme Court Justice Will liam O. Douglas declined to com ment on his suggestion that the United States recognize R d China.
 The jurist's idea quoted in San Francisco interview last week, was that such recognition would tend to wean China from the Rus sian orbit by cashing in on the in- herent conflict between China na- tionalism and Russia's drive to solidify the Far East.
 He was quoted as saying recog- hilton of Red China would give the free world "a real political victory"
 AS result of the Justices re- cognition suggestion Rep. Wood ruff R-Mich) has urged President Truman to ask Douglas to resign from the Supreme Court.
 Justice Douglas returned re- gently from an expedition along the southern fringe of the "iron curtain" He talked freely of his observations there.

Tenth Alaska Air Tragedy Claims
 Five at Anchorage

ANCHORAGE, (P) - Alaska's air tragedies climbed to 10 in the space of six weeks when a twin engined Cessna smashed down in suburban Rogers Park yesterday just after taking off for Seward, killing five people.
 Pilot Norm Mathier fought val iantly to keep the wounded plane from striking houses, bringing it down in flames in the yard of an occupied home.
 Horribly burned, he was pulled from wreckage alive but died en- route to a hospital. Also killed were the four passengers of the Christianson Air Service craft, identified as O. M. Beaver of An chorage, Laurence Arnbt, Palmer, Alaska, and a military captain and his wife.
 Eighty-nine people have been killed or lost in the series of ac- cidents since a Korean air-lift plane disappeared July 21 with 38 aboard.
 Had this not been the first day of school here, the death toll might have been much higher, as a large number of children usually are playing in the area. AS it was the plane narrowly missed two houses and crashed in the back yard of a third.
 Witnesses said it appeared that Maither fought the plane all the way to the ground to keep it from striking the houses, after one en- zine appeared to catch fire just after the takeoff.
 Maither was a veteran pilot, formerly with the CAA and for a time manager of the Anchorage airport. He leaves his widow and a daughter here and a son, Brian Maither, who is enroute to school at Napa Junior College in Cali fornia.

DlOCkeQ lmmeQ1dLe dQOplOn Ol British-American rules for control of the Japanese peace conference today and protested Red China's absence from the meeting.
 SAN FRANCISCO, (P) - The United States and Britain faced an immediate showdown with Russia today over control of the Japanese treaty conference after President Truman challenged the SovietS to make good on their talk of peace by signing the treaty.
 The Kremlin's chief delegate, unsmiling Andrei Gromyko, grim ly heard the Presidents challenge at the conference opening last night.
 ''The treaty now before us Of fers more than talk of peace," MT. Truman said emphatically. "It of fers action for peace. This con- ference will show, therefore, who seeks to make peace and who seeks to prevent it; who wishes to put an end to war, and who wishes to continue it."
 Gromyko, who had joined brief ly in the swelling applause of historic assemblage when MT. Tru- man rose to speak, sat with folded hands throughout the talk. Later he told reporters he had no con- ment.
 In his speech MT. Truman pie tured the Japanese treaty as af- fording Japan, defeated and broken in World War II and re- organized under the six-year Am erican occupation, an opportunity ''to win the friendship and trust of other peoples over the years to come" He reminded the Japa- nese, however "The United States has not forgotten Pearl Harbor or Bataan." And he made it plain that the softening of it's memories will depend on Japan's future con- duct.

Lately. / have been reading

ties. to coin a word.
looked up Webster's New In
ternational Dictionary for the
exact meaning of diaspora. It's
word from the Greek meaning
dispersion applied collectively to
those Jews, who after the Baby
lonian captivity were scattered

to wish Christians living
among the heather"
In modern usage it is taken
from its frame Of historic refer

a sigh: Oh this diaspora! We are
Of the scattered! It suggests a
kind Of exile far from home. as
if you and I were Of a scattered
remnant trying to get along in

gests rootlessness.
Even the Reform Union OF

Senate Vote Is Near
On Medical Aid Bill
For Students, Schools
BY the Assoeiatsd Prau

A bill to finance a five-year
emergency aid program to medical
students and schools may get a
final Senate vote today.
The measure is sponsored by 13
Senators, including seven Demo-
Gratis and six Republicans. The
Senate passed similar bill last
year, but 1t did not get House ap-
proval.
1t would authorize up to SIC
million year in grants for con-
Struction and equipment at medi-
cal schools, and a system Of in
struction grants to both schools
and students.
The program would apply in the
field Of medicine, osteopathy. den
tistry. dental hygiene, public
health and nursing.
Backers Of the medical aid bill
say some Federal help is needed
to forestall a national shortage
Of 10000 physicians, 5000 den-
lists and 100000 nurses by 1860.
The mobilization resulting from
the Korean war has intensified
the problem, the proponents of
the bill contend. More than II 900
additional doctors are to be orawn
out of civilian life by mid-1952,
they say.
The bill would authorize pay
ment to the schools of $500 a year
for each medical student with
incentive payments" of the same
amount per student for the num-
Der of students representing an
increase over the average enroll
ment in 1949-51.
Scholarships under the bill
would include cost Of tuition, fees,
books. uniforms, equipment ano
an allowance for maintenance.

Labor Draft Unlikely,
DR.. FIemming Tells
Institute on Defense
Although the current manpower

Although the current manpowel
requirements for defense produc-
tion are short about is million
workers, there is no threat at this
time of a labor draft, an expert
on the subject said last night.
The speaker. DR.. Arthur Elem.
ming, assistant to Defense Mobi.
lizer Charles E. Wilson, for man.
power, addressed the first session
Of American University's Institute
on the Economics of Defense
Mobilization in the Interior De.
partment Auditorium.
DR.. Flemming said there is nc
general manpower shortage, but
there are certain areas where
labor or skills are short. He said
this shortage could be overcome
by transferring workers from civil
to military production. without the
necessity Of a labor draft.
DR.. Flemming added that. in his
opinion, the current industrial
mobilization effort might last fol-
an additional 10 to Is years.
Another speaker, Charles B.
Stauffacher. assistant to Mr.. Will
son. in charge of staff, explained
that the United States still is
engaged in the limited moboli-
cation effort established one year
and three weeks ago."
He declared that the effort is
not an "all-out" one because right
now this Nation is between war
and peace" This limited mobiliza-
ton, he added, is responsible for
the parceling' out Of defense work
among existing Government agen-
cies, rather than establishing new
ones.
Mr.. Stauffacher said that already
the defense effort has tripled pro-
duction.
He said the principle aims of
today's industrial mobilization can
be achieved without destroying "a
reasonable level" of civilian pro-
duction at the same time.
The purpose of the institute is
to analyze the programs of Gov
ernment agencies responsible for
the defense mobilization effort.
The sessions will be held on Tues
day nights. Interested persons still
may register.
