TIREBOAT’ HULLS LOCATED BY CITY Effort Being Made To Acquire One For Use Here Two U. S. government war sur plus 65-foot T-boats complete with steel hulls and Diesel engines have been located in the Charleston naval yard, approved by Fire Chief Dudie Croom and City Purchasing Agent Gilbert Morton, and every effort will be made to obtain one of them from the U. S. Maritime commission in Washington for con version as a city fireboat to re- ■ place the antiquated Atlantic. ; Announcement of discovery of: the boats, their acceptance after j inspection, and plans to obtain th’em was made yesterday by City Manager J. R. Benson, who said that if necessary, he personally would go to Washington in an at tempt to obtain one of them for the city. The city' manager said that it was now apparent that it would be a virtual impossibility for the city to obtain a completely equip ped fire boat as originally planned because of the federal govern ment’s refusal to release any and that the city was left with only two alternatives; either letting a contract for a new boat complete cr purchasing a suitable hull and equipping it -with fire fighting equipment. In the case of the two boats tinder consideration now, if the city is successful in obtaining one of them, it will be necessary to install a pumping engine in addi tion to the existing engine used for propulsion and to equip the boat with suitable fire fighting equipment. Benson said the Maritime com mission was being contacted by letter and otherwise to begin with, and that he might find it neces sary to make a trip to Washing ton some time this week to further push the cityr’s efforts in person Necessity for a new boat arises from the fact that the present antique boat is completely out moded and unsuited for fighting any serious waterfront fire. MOLOTOV AND UN (Continued from Page One) opening also, but no definite an nouncement has been made. France’s Foreign Minister, Georges Bidauit, is expected next week, as well as Foreign Minister Wang, of China. Faris El Khoury, one of the leading advocates on the Arab po sition in the Palestine case, will head the Syrian delegation. The race for president of the assembly continues wide open but delegates are examining closely the qualifications of these men: Prime Minister Paul-Henri Spaak, of Belgium, who was presi dent . during the first regular ses sion last year. Dr. Oswald Aranha, former foreign minister of Brazil, who headed the assembly’s special aession on Palestine. Dr. Herbert V. Evatt, foreign miniter of Australia, who is cer tain to receive no votes from the Russian group in the assembly be cause of his frequent and spirited clashes with the Russians. JanfMasaryk, foreign minister of Czechoslovakia, who likely would receive support from some western nations as well as the Russian group. There is no bar in the UN charter to electing a man who has held the position once but many dele gates feel' it should be passed around. Others say they want the man who can do the most efficient job, so the race still is open.

INDIA’S FUTURE SAID UNCERTAIN Wholesale Migration Starts In Effort To Save Crops LAHORE, Pakistan, Sept. 6.—(U.R) —The next 10 days probably will be the most critical in mod ern India’s history. Before the middle of September, it will be decided whether the in fant governments of India and Uakistan will disappear in an in ferno of religious massacre, or whether they will be able to bring order out of the chaos gripping big areas of both .dominions. The situation is so delicately balanced that even the weather may decide events. The transplanting of at least 1, 000,000 Moslems and non-Moslems now is in full swing, and if no serious obstacle appears it should be completed within 10 days. Every means of conveyance, from air plane to oxcart, is being used to move refugees. Every highway, road and cowpath linking the east (Hindu) Punjab with the west (Moslem) Punjab is filled with humanity. Trains are jammed. Passengers ride on the roof and hana on the sides. The idea is to move this vast populace before famine and epide mics begin and in time to harvest millians of acres of crops left un attended* Whether these crops are harvested before the Monsoon means the difference between pestilence and famine and a food supply.

HINSON JURY (Continued from Page One) ward Hinson and chased the man around a car about three times, according to Brooks’ statement. While the chase was in progress, Hinson was reportedly trying to reload his gun. Brooks said he fired his service revolver at Hin son when the former officer raised the gun as if to use it as a club. An array of legal talent is ex pected to be on hand to listen in at the coroner’s inquest Wed nesday night. The gun duel was regarded by Brooks as at outgrowth of his at tempt to collect a taxi operator's tax from Hinson’s father whom the chief claimed was operating an automobile for hire without complying with the town or dinance. Hinson called on the chief to protest against Brooks’ action against his father, but noth ing developed in that argument. However, the two men met again the following uay and a fight en sued. According to reports received by Coroner Nance, it was the next day after the fight that Hinson blasted away at Brooks and a few moments later was slain. Atomic Health Group To Visit .

Slav Probe Asked By Gen. Moore Re: Soldier Arrests TRIESTE Sept. 6— UP) —Maj. Gen. Bryant E. Moore has asked members of the Yugoslav mission to investigate immediately why two American soldiers are held by Yugoslav authorties, a spokesman for U. S. 88th division headquar ters said today.

HEMISPHERE ARMY (Continued from Page One) hemisphere planning believe, how ever, that logistic and Poll^a! considerations make it doubt, ul whether such a staff could assume on short notice the authority that might be delegated to it. They were understood to favor the idea of an advisory staff, which would function primarily as a clearing house for inter-Ameii can military information, such as the size of forces, the state of training and the effectiveness °f equipment. ' These authorities foresee an or ganization of abo-ut 100 officers, with headquarters in Washington. They believe this country should furnish a permanent chief of staff for the group, with the position of deputy chief rotating among the other American countries. It was emphasized that anj plan adopted at Bogota early next year would be purely a peacetime pro position, and that no one knows how what command setup might evolve in the case of an actual at tack against the western hemis phere. These informants expressed be lief that legislation now before Congress providing for increased sales of surplus U. S- war material to latin American nations and for standardization of arms and equip ment is a vital link in the entire western hemisphere defense proj ect. They said the current shortage of dollars amonf latin American nations would make it difficult if not impossible for them to buy U. S. military eequipment at other | than a nominal price.
