LAKE SUCCESS. N. Y. (>P)—A1
appeared to be sweetness and light
today for a change in the United
Nations security council, when
the United States Pacific lslan
trusteeship plan was up for dir.
cussion.
The big-happy-family atmos
phere, representing a sharp con

on atomic control, was engendered
principally by Russia’s surprise
acceptance of the terms of th-^
American proposal to place the
Japanese mandates under the U.

administrator.
Most of the 11 delegates had
speeches ready for the meeting,

Armed Dutch
Seize IJ. S. Ship
Aboard the U. S. S. Martin Behr
man, Batavia, i/P)—Sixty Dutch
marines, sailors and civil police
took physical possession of the
American liberty ship Martin
.lehrman and her disputed cargo
.day shortly after Capt. Rudy
Gray had announced his intention
> ail for the United States.
Gray, charging that 'control oi
the ship had been wrested from
him “forcibly by armed men" who
overpowered his mate when the
latter attempted to stop them,
immediately left the vessel. The
Dutch—with the aid of tugs—
moved her at once to another dock
preparatory to removing the cargo,
which was loaded in Republican
Java in defiance of Dutch regula
tions.
The crew remained aboard un
der Gray’s orders but refused to
assist in moving the ship or dis
charging the cargo.

Rent Ceilings To
Be Increased
WASHINGTON, i/P) — Senator
Hawkes <R.-N. Jp pre lictecl t • »v
f at Congress will approve a “.flat
• increase” in the rent ceiliogs
probably 15 per cent—de-pile re
ports that the Senate banking cri
mittee has turned thumbs d'nvri o
any across-the-board boo-!.
“When this finally reaches o
for action I think there will be a
flat increase of 15 per cent over
rent ceilings of September 1,1946.’
Hawkes told a reporter.
The New Jersey lawmaker thu
echoed a forecast voiced earlier
this week by Senator Buck <R.
DelP, chairman of the banking
i sub-committee which itself voted
for a 10 per cent hike. Buck said
he believed the general sentiment
outside the committee was in favor
j of a larger increase.
| In any event, all parties to the
i argument agreed that no final de
cision is likely this month becau-'
I legislation cannot start through
J Congress—unless leaders change
their plans—before sometime in
April.
Meanwhile Chairman Tobey <R.
N. H.) tried to keep a mantle of
secrecy over what the Senate
banking committee did yesterday
when it sent the 10 per cent bill
back to Buck’s sub-committee.
President’s Sea
Trip Postponed
WASHINGTON. (/P)—President
Truman today postponed h:s Cari
bbean trip indefiniteiyy and sum
m ned Congressional leaders of
> >th parties to a White House con
ference Monday on the interna
onal situation.
Charles Ross, Presidential sec
retary announced the delay in the
proposed trip with this statement:
“The Caribbean trip has been
indefinitely postponed because of
developments.”
While 'Ross declined to elaborate
Senator Taft of Ohio, chairman of
the Senate Republican policy com
mittee, told a reporter he and
other Congressional leaders had
been asked to talk at the White
House Monday about the situation
presented by prospective British
withdrawal of economic aid to
Greece and the Greek appeal to
this country for financial help.
A human adult has half an
ounea of sugar in his blood.
That measure, originally ap
proved by a 3 to 2 party-line vote,
would remove administration of
rent control from the OPA and
place it in the federal courts. It
also would have removed controls
over all new housing.
