| U. S. Turns 10 Ships
Over To Turkey
WASHINGTON, (>P)—Secretary
of State Marshall announced to
day the United State* is- taking
steps to turn over 10 merchant
ships to Turkey as a first move in
the new program of strengthening
the Turkish armed forces.
Marshall told a press confer
ence that, with the navy’s con
currence, he had asked the mari
time commission to sell Turkey
six government-owned cargo-pas
senger vessels. The maritime com
mission also is being asked to sell
four surplus vessels to Turkey.
Marshall was asked whether
this represented the first transfer
under the $100,000,000 undertak
ing to strengthen Turkey, and he
replied affirmatively. Marshall
noted that the sale of the six car
go-passenger vessels did not in
volve expenditure of any U. S.
funds. They will be paid for in
cash.
Iridium is generally added to
platinum to increase its hardness
and durability.

; Seek Work On
Japanese Treaty
WASHING TON, UP) — The
United States announced today it
I has proposed a 11-nation confer
j ence^ August 19 to begin work on
; a Japanese peace treaty. The pro
j posal represents a break with the
peace-making methods followed
in Europe where Russia and each
of the other big four powers has
an absolute veto.
The conference, under the
American proposal, would be held
either in Washington or San Fran
cisco. Some of the invited nations
might suggest alternative places
or dates.

While Ivan Q. Citifen of Ruyip
is evidehcing a taste* fdffceo-clhk
sicism in his postwar housing, the
dream house that figures largely
in American thoughts is a modern
or “ranch type” home, according
to an article in the Encyclopaedia
Britannica 1947 Book of the Year.
In discussing the trends in
housing, Richard M. Bennett, Chi
cago architect and author of the
article, writes:
“The acceptance of modern de
sign was shown by polls of con
sumer preference in the United
States, which indicated a majority
interested in modem or “ranch
type” homes.
“In the U.S.S.R., published de
signs varied from this general
trend and were characterized by
a neo-classic trend or an insistent
national feeling created by the re
gional handling of local materials.
“In residential design trends ap
parent before the war continued,”
I the Book of the Year article points
1 out. “Rooms became smaller be
cause of rising costs, but were of
ten made to serve double func
tions and the art of the designer
was used to give a greater sense
of space. This was done by means
of large glass areas and free plan
ning which allowed one room to
merge with another in a manner
adding space to both. The decreas
ing size and number of rooms in
dwelling units reflected the de
creasing number of children in
families, fewer servants and a
greater number of women in busi
ness and professions.”
“The danger of atomic warfare
seemed to have had little effect on
building plans generally,” the Bri
tannnica Book of the Year article
adds, “although reports from
Sweden indicated advances in
subterranean factories. It was
claimed the excess initial cost of
such plants was offset by decreased
maintenance to a marked degree.
The totality of future war was so
: well understood that more hope
was being placed in international
action to prevent war than plan
ning and design as a defense
against its terrors,” the article
concludes.
Distinguished lea'ders of science,
business, industry and the profes
sions have contributed to this 10th
annual Britannica Book of the
Year, published not only as a
source book of current informa
tion, but also as an annual supple
ment to Encyclopaedia Britannica
itself. It presents an authoritative
summary of 1946 world events jn
a 896-page volume, including 1,220
articles, more than 1,500,000 words.
