To Abdicate
LONDON, (/P) — Former King
Mihai of Romania said yesterday
this abdication was forced upon
turn and he does not consider
tilmself bound by it.
Mihai sailed today for the United
States. He had lunch yesterday
with the British royal family at
(Buckingham palace, and then is
sued a statement saying:
“The motives of the profound
fXriltical changes imposed on the
small states of eastern Europe are
already too well known.
“As far as Romania is concern
ed, I want to avail myself of the
first possibility personally to con
firm the facts as they happened.
“On the morning of Dec. 30,
1947, Mr. Petru Groza and Gheor
ghiu-Dej, members of the Roman

Council Up A Tree
Over Partition
(By Larry Hauck)
LAKE SUCCESS, &—The se
curity council is stuck on what to
do about Palestine, and delegates
took a 24-hour recess yesterday to
do some private talking about the
problem.
The official reason given for the
one-day adjournment was the ill
ness of Camille Chamoun, special
Lebanon representative in the
council. The unofficial reason is
that United Nations delegates
want more time to try and work
something out.
Before the council adjourned
Wednesday it became apparent
that at least a portion of the
American resolution on Palestine
partition is headed for defeat.
Canada and China joined Belgium
and Syria in opposing a section
calling upon the council to accept
the partition scheme as laid down
by the 1947 U. N. assembly.
follow as a consequence of the in
structions already issued by them
in case I shall not sign within the
time limit.”

Krug Urges U. S. to
Retain Coastal
Shelf Off States
WASHINGTON, </P)—1The peo
ple of the United States cannot
afford “to make a gift" of the oil
rich coastal lands along the na
tion’s shores to a few states, secre
tary of interior Krug contended
yesterday.
He told a joint Senate-Hause ju
diciary sub-committee that the
coastal shelf off the United States
and Alaska may contain 100 bil
lion barrels of oil.
This reserve, he said, is vital to
the economy and defense of the
country as a whole.
Krug was the second cabinet
member to go before the commit
tee to oppose legislation which
would turn all submerged lands
over to the states. His testimony
backed up that of attorney gen
eral Clark.
Both Clark and Krug spoke in
support of an administration bill
which would give title to the sub
merged lands to the federal gov
ernment but would permit leasing
them for oil. The bill would grant
37 Vfe per cent of the revenue from
off-shore oil to the bordering
states and place 52 Vi per cent in
