SITE OF UNITED NATIONS
Competing Claims LONDON, December 1. Representatives of eight of 26 cities—24 American and two Canadian—seeking the selection of a site for the permanent seat of the United Nations Organisation, addressed the sub-committee of the preparatory commission in support of their claims. Some showed miniature motion pictures illustrating the advantages and amenities of their respective cities. There were also masses of brochures and photographs from other cities which had not sent representatives to London. The Philadelphia delegation held out a bait of 150 golf courses. The San Francisco delegation submitted a letter from the Governor to the executive committee of the organisation in which it stated it was willing to concede dominion over any land needed for their purposes. The committee of the United Nations preparatory commission decided to establish two committees of the Assembly, one to deal with economic and financial questions and the other to deal with social, humanitarian and cultural questions. __
