! is quite happy spot for a girl tt

aspect is undertaking to decide
which of the suddenly opened Cd.

should adopt.
Miss Ramey, now at the Capito
Theater, has narrowed her choices
to two, the movies, which has duti-
fully laid their contracts at hel
fngertips and radio, which she
thinks OF rather cannily as being
on the threshold of television. Being
Miss America on the radio without
television would be wasting a lot
of beauty on the unrecording air, a
thing of which Miss Ramey is very
well aware.
incidentally, if you nave not heard
the story, as we had not, Miss
Ramey's parents were soundly an
ticipatory when they christened her
Venus.
1t was their intention that she
should be an actress and they
thought the name distinctive, a
point whose mootness, if it ever
existed, has been thoroughly blasted
by Miss Ramey's success in the up
per reaches of loveliness.

Hollywood's Chinese actors whose
artistic souls have been irritated by
their numberless opportunities to
play Japanese roles in pictures of

should feel sorry for Robert Arm

Patricia Hitchcock, precious Is
year old daughter of corpulent mo-

getting right along with the stage
career that she decided to prefer
over working in Hollywood. Pat

with goodly cast to play the CEN
tral figure in Violet" a dramatic
item highly anticipated on Broad
way.
Motion Picture magazine, which
has received his postwar plans by
cable, reports that former motion

conscientious objections created a
sensation when his draft number

An Actress Grows in Tree

celerated the pace to THE Pied

ITS OWN INVESTIGATION


al dispute, if the Security Coun-
Gil should consider other efforts
at settlement to be inadequate,
the Security Council would be
authorized to order an investiga-
ton of its own and to recommend
a means of settlement.
Possibly the Security Council
would order the case referred to
the International Court Of JUS
tice. Or, if the dispute was pol
itical and not on some question
Of law over which the Court
had jurisdiction, the Security
Council might order the case re-
ferred to a special tribunal. The
Security Council itself might
even assume jurisdiction.
There are still other peaceful
steps. The Security Council
would be empowered to invoke
economic sanctions and boycotts
against offending nations. 1t
might order severance of dlplo-
matte relations with an aggreS-
Sor nation. 1t might order the
breaking of economic relations
by interrupting radio, telegraph
ic, or postal communications, or
by stopping international com
merce. 1t might order the sus-
pension of membership privi-
leges in the United Nations.
All these steps failing, the
Security Council would then be
empowered to employ military
force to keep the peace.

Longest section in the propos-
ais for a United Nations organi-
cation charter is Chapter VIII,
dealing with the organization
m ost controversial problem,
arrangements for the Mainten-
ance of International Peace and
Security, Including Prevention
and Suppression of Aggression"
Boiling down its three sections
and FL paragraphs, the first i'm
portant point is that the Secur-
ity Council would not employ
force for the immediate settle
ment of any international dis
pute except as a last resort.
First step would be an at
tempt to have two nations settle
their argument peacefully, be-
tween themselves, either by di-
rect diplomatic negotiation, by
mediation, by ar tr tt o n,
through regional agencies like
the Pan American Union, or by
reference to the international
Court of Justice, which will be
discussed in the next article in
this series.
Regional arrangements 70 I
maintenance of peace and seCur-
ity are specifically encouraged
in Section c of Chapter VIII OF
the Dumbarton Oaks proposals
with the stipulation that all such
regional settlements should be
consistent with the purposes OF
the United Nations organization
and that their activities be made
known to and be in accordance
with actions of the Security
Council.
