112 Asian Countries
Present Peace Plan
LAKE SUCCESS, (/P) —Twelve
Asian and .Middle East countries
yesterday laid before the United
Nations a double-barreled peace
plan designed to halt the fighting
in Korea and resolve other Far
Eastern problems.
The plan was embodied in two
resolutions worked out in a series
of closed-door conferences and
circulated just before the political
committee of the general assem
bly met.
The resolutions were transmit-1
ted to the state department imme
diately by the U. S. delegation. A
spokesman said the delegation
would not comment until it had
received high-level reaction from
Washington.
One of the proposals would cre
ate a three-man commission,
headed by assembly president
Nasrollah Entezam of Iran, to “de- j
termine the basis on which a sat
isfactory case-fire in Korea can
be arranged.” The other two mem
bers would be named iby Entezam.
Informed quarters said this for
mula was adopted to meet U. S.
objections to an outright cease
fire, whic might leave the way
open for a continued build-up of
Chinese communist forces in Ko
era. The three-man body would
get the interested countries to
agree to fixed conditions for halt
ing the conflict.
The second proposal would cre
ate another commission to meet
as soon as possible and make
recommendations for settling all
issues in the Far East.
Introduction of these proposals
was expected to shunt aside de
Holy Year Jubilee
To All World In ’51!
I
CATICAN CITY, iff)—'The Holy
Year jubilee which ends here on
Christmas Eve will be extended
through all erf 1951 to the entire
world.
Millions of Catholics who were
unable to make a pilgrimage to
Rome in the 1950 Holy Year will
thereby be given the opportunity
to gain the spiritual benefits in j
their own cities.
Vatican sources said yesterday
that extnsion of the Holy Year—
which will apply ta the whole
world except Rome—will be the
same as for the Holy Year now
ending the 25th in the nearly
2,000 years of the church. j

A Papal bull proclaiming the j
extension officially, as was done j
at the end of the 1925 Holy Year,
is expected to be published on
Christmas day.

bate on a U. S.-backed resolution
calling for immediate withdrawal
of Chinese communist troops from
Korea. Most delegates have indi
cated privately they had little
hope of getting the Peiping troops
out of Korea by such an appeal.
Curfew Clamped
On In Singapore
SINGAPORE </P), Police clamp
ed a dusk-to-dawn curfew on riot
torn Singapore lastnight. The toil
from two days of fighting over
the fate of a Moslem-reared Dutch
girl rose to 14 dead and more
than 140 injured.
Soldiers fired at a charging mob
in the eastern section. Efforts
were being made by Moslem lead
ers to calm their followers.
The British colony’s supreme
court, mealwhile, ruled today that
the girl’s Roman Catholic Dutch
mother could take 13-year-old
Maria Bertha Hertogh back to
Holland with her.
Thousaids of fanatic Moslems
in two days of bitter rioting have
tried to kidnap the child and re
turn her to the Malay woman who
for eight years reared her, and to
the Moslem schoolteacher Maria
Bertha married last summer.
The dead included four British,
two Eurasians, and one Indian.
Fighting, which began with a
mob attack Monday on the Su
preme Court building, continued
in the city’s twcr-mile-square
Moslem quarter. It was cordoned
off by bayonet-wielding police
and British troops and armored
cars.
