~NEW PROPOSAL

Conflicts With Allies on Trusteeships.

Staff Correspondent SAN FRANCISCO, ‘May 12.— Soviet Russia has proposed a plan for international trusteeships which ' would give each of the big powers| a permanent seat on the trusteeship commission and a veto over ‘designation of any territory as a strategic area, it was learned today. The Russian plan has not yet ‘been made public by the international secretariat of the United Nations conference. It has been| { designated a “restricted” document | by the ‘Soviet delegation. But -it was learned that. the Soviet proposal conflicts sharply in some respects with the American and British plans which, after more than & week of study, are slowly being merged.

ON SURRENDER

Nazi, . Allied Chiefs ‘Confer, On Norway Capitulation.

By ROBERT MUSEL United Press Staff Correspondent

. LONDON, May 12.—Allied and German army, naval and air officers conferred in Scotland today on the evacuation and surrender of 300,000 German. troops, dozens of German warships and other equipment in Norway. The German delegation, totaling: 20 or more officers, arrived in southeast ‘Scotland from Norway last

transports, the first German aircraft to land in Britain since the end of the war. The German “officers brought with them details of military dispositions, defenses and supplies and information about allied war prisoners in Norway. A dispatch from Oslo said all Germans, both troops and civilians, had been ordered to leave Oslo today. British paratroops and Swed-ish-trained Norwegian policemen were patrolling the streets of Oslo. All’ Germany's remaining warships were believed anchored in Norway's fjords. In addition to cruisers, destroyers and torpedo boats, there were believed to be a large number of submarines. Other U-boats were surrendering at sea to allied warships and planes. At least 13 had signalled their surrepder by last night, and many already had put into British ports. The German radio at Flensburg, voice of the Doenitz government, reported that Marshal Ernst Busch had - been appointed “supreme commander In the north” to preserve order and discipline and assure supplies for- both German

Germany. Allied occupation authorities had consented to.the appointment, the broadcast said. In Czechoslovakia, diehard Nazis who at first ignored the German high command's order to surrender to the Red army now were capitulating by the tens of thousands. Some 262,600 have capitulated to the 1st, 3d and 4th Russian Ukrainian armies in the past three days. Red army troops tightening the encirclement linked up with American forces at new points east of Chemnitz in Silesia, east of Pilsen in Czechoslovakia and southeast of Linz of Austria. The German pockst in the horthwest Latvia was liquidated with the bag of prisoners reaching 130 000. In Berlin, Red Army troops tracked down Nazi firebugs and saboteurs who were spreading terror through the ruined tapiial by night.

Amvother: We would have to be prepared to furnish parts for those subs, guns, shells; etc., and that would mean full-scale production of new parts by industries that would have to retool for it. In the past we have not used captured naval vessels. The Italian fleet, for example, is laid up under control of the British.
