Stahr reported to the society that the State Department of Welfare will permit the Lancaster County Institutional District to re-open the county hospital and the state, will pay cost for porary care of persons mentally ill. Asylum Closed in 1937 In 1937 the Lancaster County Mental Hospital was closed and care of the mentally ill was taken over by the state. State institutions are now over -crowded and prison cells are the only accommodations Lancaster county has had to care for, violent persons until who they can suddenly be admitted become to state institutions. Physicians and citizens alike have protested against the condition. Dr.

-Thirty-two persons were unaccounted for when rescue vessels brought to Seward the last known load of survivors from the wrecked liner Yukon last night, and today the crew and passenger lists were being checked and rechecked to learn the names of the missing. All Seward watched the sea for signs of any straggling small craft which might come in with some or all of the 32. The rescuers had found no bodies and had removed the last of the Yukon's crew and passengers from the grounded, broken vessel and fro. the nearby shore. When the mercy craft unloaded their last group of survivors at Seward and a count was made the Coast Guard said 465 had been carried to safety.

The passengers and crew, according to lists announced by the Alaska Steamship Company and the Army, numbered 497. The Coast Guard report from Seward said it was not known as yet whether all the crewmen and passengers listed actually had been aboard when the Yukon sailed Sunday night from Seward, seven hours before she ran aground on the storm beaten rocks in Johnstone Bay. tired The after cuter Onondaga, than 48 its hours crew more battle with the sea and snow and wind, messaged late yesterday that all survivors been rescued and the Yukon a band abandoned. There had been reports from rescued passengers and crewmen that casualties had been seen, but none of these could be verified. Crewmen Thought 20 Lost Three crewmen pulled from the water by a tug after the Yukon broke in two Monday night said they thought several were lost, one man estimating the number at 20 or more.

One passenger said he had been told three bodies were recovered. Repeatedly the Coast Guard's messages from the scene said there were no reports of casualties from the rescue ships and no bodies had been found. Last to be taken aboard the Onondaga and the other craft were some 100 persons who had managed to reach the narrow strip of beach beneath a barren, high cliff. A pilot who carried pictures from Anchorage to Seattle yesterday said the temperature at the disaster scene was near zero and the people on the beach must have been whipped by spray from the towering waves. The steamer Alaska was due early this morning to carry the survivors to Seattle, destination of the ill-fated Yukon.

ities for temporary care of the The committee was assured, Dr. Stahr said. that the state will pay the "per diem expenses incurred in the admission and treatment of patientraybill Diehm, chairman of the County Board of Commissiontoday that legal representatives of the county will confer with the state and attempt to work out a plan to re-open the hospital. "We are wholly in accord wih the Diehm said. "The law as it now stands forbids the county taking care of persons mentally ill.

However, I believe it is possible for the state to set up a sub-division of the Welfare Department in Lancaster. county and then designate the Lancaster County Institutional District as manager. That appears to be the legal way out of the Dr. Stahr noted that "The committee realizes difficulties probably will arise but believes these can be solved by mutual understanding between the parties concerned in the arrangements." He noted also that the state suggests that only "temporary care" be given mental patients in the county. Those needing permanent care would eventually be moved to a state hospital.) The report to the society was signed by Dr.

John L. Atlee, Dr. Henry Walter, Dale Cary, Dr Arthur J. Greenleaf Dr Stahr, the chairman. INDONESIA NEXT ON UNO AGENDA Russo British Dispute Over Greece Settled LONDON, Feb.

7 The United Nations Security Council, its first crisis passed with the solution of the Russian-British dispute over Greece, moved on today to consideration of the Soviet Ukraine charge that British troops in Indonesia were endangering the peace. High officials said privately that this controversy might be "an even tougher diplomatic nut to crack" than was Russia's allegation that the British were jeopardizing world security by maintaining forces in Greece. The first item on the agenda of the Council was the Ukrainian complaint, which followed closely the wording of the Soviet Union's complaint on Greek situation. In the background of the Indonesian controversy, however, was the Soviet Union's policy calling for the independence of colonial peoples. Opponents of British action in Java have charged that British forces were being used to keep the Indonesians under Dutch domination.

The British, on the other hand, have insisted that their forces were in Indonesia on the orders of the Allied combined chiefs of staff and that their only purpose was to preserve order while Japanese troops were removed and Allied internees and prisoners of war were rescued. Dutch Back British The British case had of There Netherlands government. The unrecognized Indonesian government also has declared that British troops should remain in Java until all Japanese troops are disarmed and removed. Despite the difficulties of the Indonesian case, the Council faced it with one distinct advantage, and that was the experience they had, gained in settling the Greek dispute without splitting the unity of the big powers. The Russians yielded on every major against Britain as the Council resolved the Greek crisis last night.

Andrei Vishinsky, Soviet Vice Commissar of Foreign Affairs, announced he would not insist on a Council statement saying that British forces should be withdrawn from Greece immeding world peace, as had that they were demanded. British Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin gave ground, too, in not pressing for formal Council action to exonerate Britain of the charge. In earlier debate he had demanded a flat "yes or no" verdict.

A. D. Kramer told Pearl Harbor Investigators today that he never heard of any order for Navy Department ent personnel to destroy personal memoranda concerning events preceding Japan's Dec. 7, 1941 attack. He said he was "astonished" when he learned Capt.

L. F. Safford had testified last week that such an order from Admiral Harold R. Stark, Chief of Naval Operations, was passed verbally through Navy Department a few days after the attack. Safford testified he relayed the order to Kramer.

He said Naval personnel were told such memoranda might Gall into hands of persons who would use it in a "whispering" campaign against Admiral Husband E. Kimmel, Pacific Fleet commander when the Japanese Hawaii. Both Safford and Kramer were on duty in the Naval communications section here at the time. Kramer also testified: No Part In Campaign He never joined in a campaign plies. Safford Told of Letter Safford said he had written to clear Kimmel "or anybody else" of Pearl Harbor blame.

He believes now an "apparent winds message' saw on Dec. 5, 1941, was a "false alarm." There were "six or eight" false alarms that a message in the Japanese winds code had been received, he added. Kramer also said it was inconceivable that the high command "framed" the 1941 Pacific Fleet commander or any other person to be a scapegoat for the December 7, 1941 disaster. Rep. Cooper (D-Tenn) of the Senate-House committee investigating Pearl Harbor posed the questions which brought these re- Kramer two years ago to line up Admiral William F.

Halsey for "the cause" of vindicating Kimmel. Safford also had written, in a no one in naval operations, he here, believed could be Kimmel trusted had been a scapegoat from the start. There was this exchange between Cooper and Kramer: "Did you have any interest in the miral prosecution or defense of else?" Ador anybody "Most emphatically, Denies Kimmel Campaign "Did you ever exercise yourself in actions in behalf of Admiral Kimmel or anybody else?" "None whatsoever, sir." "Did you ever feel, or do you feel now that the officers of the general staff of the Army or the Navy in effect are crooks, or would indulge in framing Admiral Kimmel or anybody else, or thought they were be trusted?" The prematurely gray witness, trim in his service-striped uniform, paused for awhile, then said: "Such phenomena is inconceivable to my mind, sir." The Senate-House committee investigating the 1941 disaster at Kimmel's Pearl Harbor base already has heard that Kramer did not answer a secret-code suggestion from a fellow officer that he try to, line up Halsey in "the cause." That suggestion came from Safford, who yielded the witness stand yesterday and then heard Kramer testify that: 1. He did not see an intercepted message from Tokyo on Dec. 4, 1941, that Safford said gave Washington a three-day warning that Japan was going to attack.

Safford had said Kramer did see it. 2. He did see a message on December 5 bearing on Japanese relations, but the code 3. He did Safford words involved only, Britain. contended, pencil on a message the words "war with U.S., war with England.

Peace with Russia." 4. He does not believe that Navy file JD-1: 7001, now marked cancelled, ever contained the message Safford reported. Safford has said this message disappeared in an "appearance of a conspiracy." Senator Lucas (D-Ill) told reporters he thinks Kramer's testimony "blew up completely" the idea that some vital message has been removed, from the files. MO. TRAINING MAY BE ASKED House Group To Speed Bill For 18-yr.

Olds WASHINGTON. Feb. (AP) The House Military committee dusted off a universal military training bill today and decided to get rid of it--one way or another. Chairman May (D-Ky) told reporters universal training legislasidetracked after long public hearings last year, has been given top committee, priority and will be the subject of four more days of hearings starting February 18. While May would not predict the outcome, other members said they believe a program compulsory for four training 18-year-olds recommended to the full House for action Such a program, calling for supplemental training been in advocated home environment, has by the American Legion.

President Truman, the Army and Navy are holding out for one year of Defense Sidetracked In giving universal top the committee sidetracked status, indefinitely action on a new national defense act. May earlier appointed a nineman sub-committee to draft such an act and had announced that action on universal training probably would be deferred until the subcommittee finished its work. War Department pressure, committee members said, caused a the sudden plans. The department was said to be unready submit a permanent plan pending a study being made by the joint chiefs of staff.

-(P)- Demobilization disputes between Senators and the War Department simmered down to two points today: 1. The time when 500,000 of some 2,000,000 soldiers the lawmakers classed as "surplus" get out of the Army. The possibility that 120,000 fathers still may be in uniform July 1. Except for these, Secretary of War Robert Patterson said the Army is in "complete accord" with the eighth-point demobilization program drawn up special threeman Senate Military subcommittee. Chairman Elbert Thomas (D- Utah) of the full military committee told a reporter all the demobilization complaints "appear to be ironing He added that any action on the two disputed points still must orliginate in the subcommittee, but Chairman Edwin C.

Johnson (D- Colo) of that group said there will be no reply pending a further study. In a letter to the committee Patterson said Senators were in assuming there were 000.000 surplus men in the Army Jan. 1. He said they reached this by deducting the 1,500,000 Army planned for July 1 from the 100.000 on duty Jan, "ands and then determining that of 2.600,000 figure 2.000.000 were surplus. Not All Fathers Out July 1 And he added that discharge of all fathers uly 1 would endanger the "proper performance of the job of Army at that time." said.

however, that if the Army gets more than the 400,000 replacements needed for the anuary-July period, the War Department will talk over additional releases, including fathers.
