Truman To Stress
Civil Rights In
Federal Housing
KEY WEST, Fla Dec. 3-UP)
President Truman moved
ftheari today with plant to ask
Congress for a strong civil rights
program while this country speculated-
on the range of his new
anti-discrimination policy in fed
eral housing.
The White House gave full en
dorsement to a statement by So
licitor General Philip B. Perlman
in New York that future housing
projects cannot expect federal
aid If they write clauses against
tenants of any color or creed.
The full extent of this ruling
awaited further clarification.
Meanwhile, the President re
sumed work on the "state of the
union" message he will deliver
to Congress In January In which
,he will renew his demands for:
1.. A federal anti-lynchlng law.
- 2. Repeal of the poll tax as a
requirement for voting for fed
eral officers.
3. A whole series of other laws
designed to ban discrimination
against Negroes and other mi
nority groups. '
This same message, to be de
livered in person, also will call
for repeal of the Taft-Hartley act
and the passage of measures Mr.
Truman advocated In his 1948
election campaign.,

Varying reports said from
three to nine new craters had ap

A youth who saw the dawn
eruption of the main crater said
It looked like a "monstrous pyro
technic spectacle."
"Geysers of flames and sparks
soared out of the main crater," he
said.. 'There was a great roar,
then silence. It was like looking
at a color movie without sound."

Police Capture Escapee
Two Insane Men At Large
(Continued From Page One)
When attendant Ed Rollins went
Into his cell, he overpowered Rol
lins and seized his keys.
Unlocks Cells
Hs unlocked the cells of three
others. One of them telephoned
attendant Tom Smith that some
thing was wrong with Rollins.
When Smith rushed in, he was
choked from behind by a towel
that was wrapped around his
neck. '
"Everything started to go
black. Suddenly a fifth patient
ran up and said, 'let me finish
the Job.' I thought I was done
for, but he let up on the towel
while pretending to tighten it,"
Smith said later.
The four gave Rollins' keys to
the fifth patient and told him to
unlock the cells of 51 others in
the criminal ward. As they left
running, he threw the keys away,
shunning the chance to escape,
Smith said.
Eight others did wander
through an open door from the
criminal ward, but were cap
tured before they got out of the
building.
The four used Smith's keys to
go through an outside gate into
the darkness.

'Splendid Degree
Of Cooperation'
Declares McCabe
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3 UP)
Thomas B. McCabe, federal re
serve board chairman, said to
day "a splendid degree of coop
eration" exists between the
board and the treasury.
McCabe made the statement 'o
S Senate-House Economic sub
committee which sought his
views on treasury policies which
were criticized sharply yester
day by Marriner S. Eccles, a
member of the Reserve board.
Eccles was demoted from the
chairmanship of the board last
year by President Truman. In a
letter to the subcommittee yes
terday Eccles contended that the
treasury has "an easy money
bias" and that the treasury often
brushes aside the Reserve
board's suggestions on monetary
po(icy.
Eccles also argued that the
treasury's policy of maintaining
low interest rates on the nation
al debt could, if continued, turn
the Reserve board into "an en
gine of Inflation."
In his prepared statement Mc
Cabe made no mention of Ec
cles' criticism.
But he appeared to be alluding
to Eccles' contention that the Re
serve board is dominated by the
treasury wnen he said:
"The truth is that our problems
arise out of the different char
acter of the very serious respon-
siniuties that are borne by tne
treasury on the one hand and the
Federal Reserve system on the
other. The record of history is
clear that the Institutions charg
ed with these responsibilities
should be mutually indenendent
of each other, for the subordina
tion of either might lead to un
fortunate results."1

U. N. Decision
On Jerusalem
Expected Soon
LAKE SUCCESS, Dec. 3. OP)
The United Nations neared the
decisive stage today on the prob
lem of Jerusalem's future. The
Holy City now is occupied by
Hashemlte - Jordan and Israel
both of them opposed to Inter
national rule and determined to
hold their respective parts of it.
But before taking up the issue
of Jerusalem, the general assem
bly's special political committee
Is scheduled to review the Dutch
Indonesian question. This may
delay its start on the Jerusalem
question.
The special committee last
night approved a $54,900,000 relief-works
proiect program for
nearly 1,000,000 Palestine war
reluges. f inal adoption ny tne
assembly was assured by the lop
sided vote of 48-0 In committee.
A 17-natlon subcommittee put
final touches to Its draft of an
Austrailian-Russlan-El Salvador-an-Lebanese
resolution to inter
nationalize Jerusalem and its
holy places under a U. N. trustee
ship. It was adopted 9 to 6 with
two absententions, to go to the
special political committee for
further study.
Israel, with the hope of some
big power support, promises a bit
ter fight against international
rule for Jerusalem but offers to
yield to U. N. supervision of the
holy shrines of the Christian,
Jewish and Moslem religions, in
the Israel area of Jerusalem.

fidential papers were circulated
to various divisions.

the number of information cop

how many were returned even
tually to be destroyed.
Anderson also testified that a
document In German text, one

Skeleton Found;
May Be Solution
To Disappearance
GRANTS PASS, Dec. 3-fff)-Discovery
of a skeleton, hidden
in the brush beside an empty
plckel bottle, pointed today to
ward a possible solution of the
mvsterlous dlranwearanee of a
young hospital orderly here.
Deputy Sheriff Louis Rlnquette
happened upon the skeleton yes
terday as he was trying to get a
new lead on what happened to
Robert Orval Dunnlway, 23, who
vanished in July, 1948.
The skeleton was In thick un
derbrush, about 250 yards from
the house where Dunnlway had
lived with his mother, Mrs. Mar
tha Morris. The position indicated
that the man had been sitting
down, one foot tucked under him.
A pickle bottle was beside his
right hand.
Chief criminal deputy Ed Dall
ey said the skeleton was that ot
a young, short man, like Dunnl
way. An examination was under
way to determine what the pickle
bottle might have contained.
Search for Dunniway first be
gan more than a year ago, when
his grandmother, Mrs. May Dun
niway, 919 Columbia St., Red
lands, Calif., wrote the sheriff's
office saying the boy had never
arrived for an expected visit with
her, and asking an investlgaton.
The mother here could throw
no light on his disappearance.
Officers said he had planned to
take a plane to Redlands, but
never boarded It.
The skeleton bore no obvious
sign of violence, and a wrist
watch was still on the hand. The
watch could not be identified un
til police located the mother, who
was not at home.
Deputy Dalley said the boy was
th. bccnficlary of a trust fund,
left to him by his father, and
handled by the American Na
tional bank at Redlands.

UN Votes 32-2 To Ban
Registering Prostitutes
NEW YORK, Dec.3 im
United Nations members had be
fore them today a general as
sembly demand that they stop
registering prostitutes.
The demand was part of a new
world convention unifying exist
ing International treaties on traf
fic In persons and exploitation
ot prostitution. The ban on regis
tration Is a new feature.
The assembly adopted the con
vention 32 to 2, with Britian and
France voting "no" and the
United States among 15 nations
abstaining.
The Western Big Three had ex
plained their votes this way:
U. S. Representatives said
they didn't believe the Senate
could ratify the treaty because It
doesn't recoginze that the 48
state governments, rather than
the Federal government, would
have to enforce most provisions.
Britain objected to automatic
application of the convention to
her colonies. The British said the
colonies are self-governing 1 n
such matters.
