VP).

Preparations were pronounced complete Saturday for the somber task of repatriating 200,000 or more of the ration's war dead. Legislation has passed both branches, but was sent back to the house Friday for consideration of senate amendments. The WE I 'Set-aside of 35 suffices wheat needs' LaGuardia asks for order soon WASHINGTON. VP). U.N.R.

R.A. General LaGuardia expressed belief Saturday the agency's wheat requirements for Europe's hungry could be met by a 35 percent set-aside of American grain at the flour mills. 1 He so messaged British Prime Minister Attlee and other officials after urging the British to spare as much as possible from their limited food grain stocks to make prompt aid effective. LaGuardia said he was hopeful that the United States government would Issue the necessary grain set-aside order "within a few hours," but no order was in sight Saturday afternoon at the department of agriculture. IN A TALK AT Columbia university In New York, 'LaGuardia urged that President Truman put into effect a set-aside order calling for 25 percent of all wheat delivered to mills be earmarked for foreign relief to meet Immediate needs.

The 35 percent set-aside LaGuardia mentioned to the British was apparently his over-all estimate. LaGuardia said in a statement here he had been advised by Francis B. Sayre, U.N.R.R.A.'s diplomatic advisor that President-elect Peron of Argentina had promised to help relieve the food situation to the full extent of his country's ability. THE SENATE small business committee, meanwhile, reported getting a snowstorm of complaints that small American firms are hardest hit by the grain-for-Europe program. The committee asked Secretary of Agriculture Anderson to discuss the situation with it on Monday.

Senators, particularly from the midwest, have received complaints that flour mills are threatened with a shutdown for lack pf grain. Complaints also have come from small bake shops that they will be forced to close if their volume is reduced below the "break-even" point. Two killed as plane crashes into apartment CHICAGO. (UP). A stunting army photo reconnaissance plane crashed and exploded in a crowded northwest side area Saturday, killing two fliers, damaging a three-story apartment building and garage, and in jurying four persons, two seriously.

THREE OTHER persons, including two firemen, were injured slightly after the crash. Police identified the dead as First Lt. Arthur Robitschek, 22, Chicago, and his brother-in-law, Alfred Schulz, recently discharged from the navy. The plane, which witnesses said failed to pull out of a barrel roll, crashed into the garage, crumbling it, "hit the ground next to the apartment building and exploded. The explosion knocked out a wall and and started fires in the building and a house nearby.

Firemen quickly brought the flames under control. THE CRASH ALSO killed a dog, a pet of a neighborhood girl. Army officials said the pilot had flown the a single-motored F-6, from Brooks Field, San Antonio, on a crosscountry flying mission. Gen. Marshall now on his way back to China WASHINGTON.

(UP). Gen. George C. Marshall was on his way back to China Saturday to pick up where he left off a month ago or perhaps even further back than that. The wartime chief of staff left Washington by plane Friday night to return to his task as President Truman's special representative to this country troubled far eastern ally.

Severe cut in meat supplies is seen ahead East, soulli, far west will be hit WASHINGTON. VP). Civilians In eastern, southern and far western parts of the country probably will run into rather severe shortages of meat during the next few months. This prospect was indicated Saturday by an agriculture department report on the national food situation which laid the absence of rationing and other wartime controls probably will raise many problems in distribution of smaller supplies. Tne report said that civilian supplies are expected to decline during the months ahead because of a normal seasonal drop in livestock marketings, low commercial stocks of pork, and substantial takings of meat for export to hungry areas' abroad, REDUCTIONS IN meat supplies usually are felt first in areas distant from the midwest, where the bulk of the nation's livestock is produced, marketed and slaughtered.

With consumer buying power continuing at a high level in the midwest as well as elsewhere in1 the country, the tendency will be for the former region to take "first crack" at the supply, with distant areas receiving what is left. Under rationing, lti was possible to obtain a more equitable distribution of supplies not only among individual consumers but among various sections of the country. THE TERMINATION of meat rationing early last winter has permitted civilians to buy so much meat that the government has had difficulty getting supplies to fill overseas promises. Furthermore, this uncontrolled demand siphoned off meat that normally would have gone into storage against the summer season of low production. Wisdom Light murder victim is identified PORTLAND, Ore.

(UP). The Wisdom Light murder victim was identified Saturday night as a woman past 50 years old, 5 feet 2 inches to 5 feet 4 inches tall, and weighing 140 to 150 pounds. Identification was made by W. C. Hunter, University of Oregon pathologist.

HUNTER. SAID the torso, which was found in the whirling eddy fo the Willamette river Friday night, showed no evidence of criminal assault. He further identified the torso as having had brown hair probably streaked with gray. The identification was made at a preliminary coroner's examination following the finding earlier Saturday of the victim's handless arms and parts of one leg, wrapped in burlap sacking, approximately six miles from where the torso was found. AT FIRST, the parts were reported as legs, but Hunter said a closer examination revealed that they were handless arms and the thigh of the right leg, cut off at the knee.

Five Willamette river boatmen Harold Mootry, Frank Pickle, Mike Zankrie, George Rakel and Frank Kmetic, found the burlap package, tied with telephone wire and weighted down with sash weights, about 2,000 feet above the head of the Willamette falls locks and about six miles above the Wisdom Light boat moorage.

(AP Wire-photo Saturday.) Legendary Santa Rosa discovered 30 million said aboard vessel MIAMI, Fla.

(UP). The coral- encrusted Spanish galleon, Santa Rosa, upon which rests the legendary curse of Montezuma, was found Saturday in 146 feet of water by explorer-Inventor Irwin A. Williamson but some 000 in gold if it's there was not brought up. Williamson, who organized an elaborate treasure hunting ex pedition four weeks ago to find the vessel, was the first person to reach the ship. However, he was unable to board it because of the tough patches of razor sharp coral which have, grown over it.

HE LOCATED the Santa Rosa in exactly same spot that he had left it in 1941 and discovered that the identification mark he had put on the ship still was there. Williamson said he got the side of the vessel thru a "very nar row" entrance which the slap' ping water had made but he was unable to board her due to the coral thickness. He was in the water 43 min utes and spent 23 minutes hacking at the coral in order to reach the ship. Diver Carl Parsons Birmingham, also saw the ship and said it was the Santa Rose "without a doubt." OPERATING from the salvage barge, June-El, in "extremely rough" weather, Williamson said it was necessary to call of opera tions until Sunday when torches and perhaps dynamite will be used to get into the ship. 'We aren going to leave the scene now until we know once and for all whether that gold is aboard," Williamson said.

The ship was found off the Florida coast between Key West and Cuba. The Santa Rosa disappeared in 1520 enroute from Mexico to Spain. Legend tells that Aztec ruler Montezuma put up the gold in return for a guarantee from Hernando Cortez that he would not molest his people. Plane smaslies Pacific record SANTA MONICA, Calif. (IP).

Hope to spur opponents of Franco reign U.S. and Britain favor discussion I NEW YORK. (UP). United Nations security council bers hoped Saturday night on the eve of the council's re-; convening that a full of -Poland's charges against Spaing would encourage the Spanish, people to get rid of General- lssimo Francisco Franco. Council members who do not think the U.N.

should take! action against Spain neverthe-" less support full discussion of I the Spanish situation in the hope that it will: 1. Strengthen anti-Franeo-entlment Inside Spain. 2. Weaken Franco's position' among the Spanish people and especially within the Spanish-army. THIS VIEW was held esoe-C clally by council members who do not agree with Poland and'.

Russia that the Spanish regime" now menaces world peace and? consider lt an internal matter." Notable among these are the. United States and Britain. Polish Ambassador Oscar-Lange and his staff planned to' devote much of the week end to preparation of their case, against Spain. Since the council Monday must first consider I Russia's attempt to eliminate; the Iranian case from its agenda at once, the Spanish issue is unlikely to be called for dls-I cussion until Tuesday or mid- week. POLISH SOURCES indicated that Lange will present the council with a detailed history' of the Franco regime, plus charges that Spanish troops lni the Pyreness area are a threat to.

France. In addition there will be the charges that the Franco regime harbors nazis, including scientists who Poland claims are working on new war weapons. -The Soviet Union, which has thrown its full support behind -Poland's charges, has indicated it will emphasize reports that the nazl scientists may be engaged in atomic research.

Intra party demo battle to be aired Official caucus called Wednesday WASHINGTON. (JP). House leaders took virtually unprecedented action Saturday to give a full airing to an intra-party row over administration of democratic national headquarters.

AN OFFICIAL PARTY caucus on the complaints will be held next Wednesday behind closed doors in the house chamber. The party leadership was required to call the meeting when more than 50 members signed a petition for it. The petition signers are aroused by what they term recent "boners" and "inefficiency" at national headquarters. Most of them want some type of "house cleaning" there. A few are even after the scalp of Democratic Chairman Robert E.

Hannegan himself. Representative Cox told a reporter the caucus may ask President Truman to "dismiss" Hannegan. FINIS E. SCOTT, house postmaster and caucus secretary, said he did not recall any time on record when a caucus was called to act on a similar matter involving individuals and political policy. Scott expressed belief that any decisions at Wednesday's session probably will not be binding on members, because of the nature of the issue.

When a legislative question is discussed any decision reached is binding, unless a member reserves in advance his right to disagree. Hannegan hits GOP lethargy WASHINGTON. (JP). Democratic Chairman Robert E. Hannegan asserted Saturday that Republican Chairman Carroll Reece's reply to his demands that the G.O.P.

state its position on major issues showed the republican party "proposes to do nothing at all." The democratic national committee made public Hannegan's open letter to Reece, the third in an exchange the democratic chairman began April 2. On that date Hannegan said President Truman's postwar program had been set forth "clearly" in messages to congress. He added that thru republican party pronouncements to date "the people know only what it proposes not to do." He expressed the hope Reece would "offer a long overdue clarification" of his party's policies. Kaltenbrunner's claim broken NUERNBERG. (JP).

Little Frankie Matsuska lay in a Mercy hospital bed Saturday night, fighting off an almost incurable kidney disease with the aid of a newly discovered fluid.

Hope for Frankie's life, however, was slim. Dr. Aileen Ma-thiasen said the boy may not live to celebrate his third birthday anniversary April 25 despite administration of human serum albumen, a high concentrate of albumen in the blood. FRANKIE IS suffering from nephrosis. He became afflicted 18 months and has been kept alive by plasma transfusions and tapping of fluid from his abdomen.

Dr. Mathiasen had administered ten transfusions and tapped Frankie 15 to 20 times. Friday Dr. Mathiasen received several bottles of human serum albumen from the Cutter laboratories at Berkeley, and immediately administered a shot to Frankie. She gave him another shot Saturday.

The high concentration of the serum, she said, was equal to several transfusions of blood plasma. Frankie's body is too small to hold much plasma at once. FRANKIE'S ONLY known relative is a grandmother, Mrs. Bessie Conyers, 67, a kitchen employe at the hospital. Frankie's mother died when he was six months old.

Whereabouts of his father is unknown. "If Frankie dies my life won't be worth living," Mrs. Conyers said. "He's all I have and I want him to live so very much." Dr. Mathiasen said she didn't expect much change in Frankie's condition for three or four days.

VP). The republican national committee Saturday described President Truman's first year in the white house as one of "confusion" In all fields. "It is a national reflection of the man who didn't wish to be president," the committee said in a 3,500 word review, adding: "THE RECORD of Mr. Truman's year as president is a record of confusion confusion In international relations, confusion in national affairs, and confusion thruout the administration." The committee said the Truman administration 'is at war with congress." And continued: "Mr. Truman began his administration with unusual advantages.

He had the pledges of both parties in congress toward winning the war and establishing peace and security at home and abroad. Republican senators offered Mr. Truman a specific plan 'to avoid irreconcilable differences' by consultation with republican leaders before any conflict developed over controversial leg- isiauon. "BUT MR. TRUMAN failed to use his opportunities.

He speedily ended his honeymoon with congress, preferring to tread the leftward path of radical experimentation." On foreign relations, the committee said the president "recites high-sounding statements of foreign policy. But these are far different from the actions he approves."

(AP Wirephoto Saturday.) Coal strike forces show no vieiainir Efforts toward peace stymied WASHINGTON.

(UP). Both sides In the 13 day old soft coal strike stiffened their attitudes toward union health and welfare proposals Saturday night, and government efforts to get reconversion-vital coal production going again remained stymied. THE OPERATORS contended that the United Mine Workers' proposal for a 10 tent ton assessment on all coal mined to provide a health and welfare fund would add $200,000,000 or more to the country's coal bill each year. The American Federation of Labor, with which the U.M.W. is affiliated, said in its monthly survey that the U.M.W.'s demands for safer and more wholesome working conditions "are minimum requirements to meet the ghastly hazards of this industry" and should be "accepted without further delay." THE OPERATOR'S position was set forth in a confidential statement sent to members of the National Coal association.

The statement said granting all of the demands of U.M.W. President John L. Lewis In the current wage conference "would add at least $200,000,000 to the nation's fuel bill, perhaps much more." The statement asserted that "American business and free enterprise are at stake, not just the coal business but all business, for what Lewis is demanding of the mine operators involves issues that are fraught with dangers to every industry, to every enterprise."
