Lake Success, NY., Dec. 11.

The plan for international supervision of disarma- ment, which was dramatically introduced in- to the United Nations General Assembly last night by Sir Hartley Shawcross, of Britain, was thrown into the melting pot at the draft sub-committee meeting today.

The sub-committee, which was attended by the. Big Five, discussed Sir Hartley's plan and earlier disarmament proposals in a closed session lasting 75 minutes."

It was learned authoritatively Russia and the that at this meeting Britain, United States son by M. Paul-Henri Spaak, of agreed in principle to the sugges Belgium, to link up the question disarmament plas. of troop

Mr. Nicol doubted whether, if it should be decided to adopt some form of control by a "Cavern- Committee would be allowed to draw up a plan of development, to approve of a plan for, say, ten funds to ince the capital expendi- years, would be allowed to raise ture involved, and would be ac cepted by the Government as the controlling authority over all the waters of the Colony.

View Of Mr. Jolly

Mr. Jolly opposed to the forma- tion of a Port Trust. He con- sidered that the removal from the Harbour Office of the work of the Ships Survey Office, the Shipping Master's Office and the Marine Court, would cause in- convenience to shipping, a reduc- tion in efficiency and an increase is expense,

Mr. Jolly advocated the change of the Harbour Department into a. Directorate of Marine, which would be responsible for the day to day working of the Harbour from the marine point of view.
