THURSDAY, JANUARY 29, 1948 "THE DAILY TIMES:GAZETTE PAGE NINE U.N. May Bring Peace For Millions In India By DEWITT MACKENZIE Associated Press News Analyst It's mighty fortunate for the world that the Dominions of India and Pakistan have submitted their bitter quarrel over the Princely State of Kashmir to the United Nations, for without the peace or- ganization this controversy might explode into a frightful fratricidal war which would encompass all the 400\millions of the Indian sub-con- tinent--and it's doubtful if such a conflict could be prevented from be- coming global, If this case can be kept within the framework of the U.N. it is likely to give a fine test of the effi- cacy of that. organization. Thus far India and Pakistan have dis- . played good faith and wisdom in working through the U.N. and tact- itly recognizing that the controversy is so complicated and full of dyna- mite that they could scarcely be expected to settle it between them- selves, It's a tragic incongruity that the once peacefully romantic garden- spot of Kashmir should now hang down over the Indian peninsula from the Himalayas like a flaming sword. The trouble grew out of the formation of the independent do- minions last summer. At that time Kashmir, and the other hundreds of native states were given the 'privilege of joining either dominion or being independ- ent. The Hindu Maharajah of Kashmir, Hari Singh, decided to remain free, but he didn't reckon with the fact that 77 per cent of his subjects were Moslems. From the neighboring territory of Paki- stan Pathan tribesmen, who also are Moslems, swarmed into the state with the idea of joining it to Pakistan, There was savage blood- shed and destruction. The Mah- arajah promptly cast his lot with Hindu India and asked for protec- tive troops, which were sent. That's where the matter stands now, with constant danger of open warfare breaking out between Pakistan and India. z The U.N. Security Council has created a three-country commission to study the whole situation and mediate the quarrel. Possibly a plebiscite, carefully supervised by impartial authorities, might be a good precedent.

Ward's Automotive Reports esti- mated the production loss for the week will total about 15,000 cars and trucks in the United States and Canada. The agency said that while Chrysler faced a possible loss of more than 10,000 passenger cars output this week, Ford and General Motors are not affected materially.

A brief dedica- Speed Money Bill For Royal Couple London, Jan. 29 -- (AP) -- The House of Commons Wednesday gave third reading to a bill grant- ing Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip £50,000 ($200,000) annually. There was no opposition. Approval in the House of Lords, to where the bill now goes, is a foregone conclusion. So is royal assent, which will make it law. The money largely is tax free. Family Reunion Disrupted As 20-Year Savings Taken Kitchener, Jan. 29--(CP)--Just as it seemed about to come true, the 20-year-old dream of Michael Mas- lanaka, 48-year-old native of Poland, was shattered with discovery that his hard-earned savings--$1,350 in bonds--had been stolen, The bonds were intended to pay ocean passage for his wife, whom he hasn't seen for 20 years, and his son, whom he's never seen. The son was born to Mrs. Mas- lanaka shortly after her husband came to Canada. The going has been tough for Maslanaka, a leather worker, and it took 20 years to save enough to reunite him with his family. He found yesterday that the bonds--all unregistered--had been stolen from a small wooden chest in his boarding-house room. Mas- lanaka isn't even sure when the theft took place. He said the last time he looked in the chest was last May. DIAMONDS POPULAR Until modern times only roy- alty and near royalty could display fine diamond rings, but today most married women wear them. Bacon Prices Raised In UK London, Jan, 29 -- (CP) -- The 'Food Ministry increased bacon prices up to 13 cents a pound yes- terday because of rising costs. A government decision not to in- crease food subsidies above the present £392,000,000 ($1,668,000,- 000) infl d the decision. Pres- ent bacon prices vary between 36 cents and 40 cents a pound, de- on the cut. Civilians are pendin : two ounces a week by ra- allowe tion. \ Defence Minister A. V. Alexan- der told the House of Commons that home-based sailors will have their meat rations trimmed 12% ounces from a little more than two ounds a week. Bacon rations will e reduced from seven ounces weekly to 2% ounces. To compen- rate, tho sailors will receive an ad- d'tional 2% ounces of fat and 3% ounces more of sugar. Alexander estimated the change would save: £2,750,000 a year and "bring service rations broadly in line" with civilian worker rations.
