A Seattle, Wash., boat builder has the bright idea of converting
surplus Navy seaplanes into pleasure cruisers and is now busy re-
modeling two war -weary PBY's, one of which is pictured above.
The tail assembly will be replaced by a conventional transom stern,
a keel added for stability and interior bulkheads removed to give
cabin space and headroom. Marine engines will be installed.

Disposition of Trieste and its hinterland, explosive issue which
blasted the Big Four peace treaty meeting in May, still smoulders.
Yugoslavia demands, as seen on ethnographical map above, that her
border be moved west to incorporate all of Venezia Giulia and the
Istrian peninsula into the Yugoslavia Republic; that Trieste be made
a free city, with status of a federal unit of the republic; and that the
port of Trieste be internationalized, although under Yugoslav
sovereignty. Russia stubbornly supports these demands. The U. S.,
Britain and France suggest a border midway between the present
one and the extreme western line sought by Yugoslavia. They agree,
approximately, on this down to Portole, where their ideas, diverge as
shown by flags. This. would leave Trieste and all the Adriatic coast
in Italian hands.
GOATS AND SWINE ARE ATOMIC `GUINEA PIGS'
Navy men turned animal herders as they loaded the U. S. S. Burleson with goats and pigs which will be
aboard target ships when the atomic bomb is dropped on Bikini Atoll next July. All the test ani-
mals must be healthy and free of vermin, so, at left, above, sailors run goats through a vat of sheep-
dip at Hunters Point Navy Yard, Calif., before embarking them on the Burleson. At right, a seaman
gives ..ome of the pigs their first meal aboard the ship.

Grand Mufti In Syria?
The gram mufti of Jerusalem,

activities, was reported back in the
Middle East, apparently preprrin.g
to take a hand in the Arab struggle
against J. wish immigration to
Palestine.

ter Arab-Jewis'.t disorders h e
sought refuge in Syria until 1942,
when he fled to Italy and was
warmly welcomed by Mussolini.
India Princes Back Plan
Twenty-four hours after t h e
Moslem Le: gue announced its sup-
port for the three-man British cab-
inet mission's plan for India, the
princes, rulers of 9.000,000 peopl.,
came out in favor of the plan.
Th outstanding committee of the
Chamber of Princes—third im-
portant element in India in addit-
ion to the Congress Party and the
Moslem League—an nr,u iced that
getter ' opinion of its members
"seemed to be in Ivor" of accept-
it.g the British proposals.
Hard Coal Strike Ended
The United Min e Workers
(AFL) announced settlement of
their week-old strike against anth-
racite coal operators on the basis
of an 181:.--cent-an-hour wage in-
crease and a health and welfare
fund which operators ' :timate will
cost 'between $50,000,000 and $60,
000,000 a year.
Appr..:imately 75,000 have been
idle in the Pennsylvania hard coal
pits.

tract is a provision for vacation pay
of $100, instead of the present $75

Record Topped
At a dinner in historic 10 Down-
ing Street the British Goverment
and the Dominions honored W. L.
Mackenzie King whc enters his
20th year as Prime Minister of
Canada.

John Macdonald, the first Canad-
i• n Prime Minister after confeder-
ation, and has outdistat,ced Wil-
liam Pitt. 18th century British

Atomic -Energy Control,
A resolution has been launched
in the House of Commons as a
prelude to the introduction of a
hi'. for the control of atomic ener-
;,y in Canada.
The bill will incorporate an
atomic energy control board, pro-
viding for "public control and sup-
ervision of development, applicat-
ion, and use of atom energy."
As Canada, through its mines at
Great Bear Lake, is an important
ews
source of uranium, the primary
material required for atomic fission,
it is placct. in what Mr. Howe
called "a somewhat unique l:osi-
11,.r." It also has a plant at Chalk
River able :o produce the final pro-
duct from which atomic energy can
be released.
China Truce Fails
