Chopper on the First Hurdle

The Dumbarton Oaks conference has begun its second phase with converse Itions among the American, British and Chinese delegates. The first phase, in which Russia participated and China did not, was scheduled for three weeks, but continued for six. The closing caused about as much excitement as the end of the baseball season in Philadel- nhia One reason for the lack of excite ment was that the public knew very little about what was being accomplished to- ward finding basis for world security organization. Undersecretary Of state Etettinius assured the word that prog Kess was made and much unanimity Of purpose achieved. But satisfaction in this IS offset by the puzzling and persist ent reports of major point of disagree ment. This has to do with the proposed world organization's procedure If one Of the major powers is accused of aggression. Russia Is understood to have insisted on the accused powers right to vote on the accusation. This country and Britain Reportedly favored the denial of that Vot- ang right. The puzzling thing is how a group Of hig-league diplomats could find them- selves stynied by such question. Ger tainly there is only one possible answer, which any reasonably well-informed per- son should be able to give in short order. And 1t would be something like this: me present proposal for world security organization would require unanimous Vote of the permanent (major power) members and majority vote of the smaller power members on the execu- live council before action could be taken ko halt aggression. But great power, accused of aggression and allowed to vote, certainly would not vote itself guilty. Accordingly, if one of the great 4owers were clearly the aggressor, the world security organization would be xowerless to act. The elaborate machin- 9rv of arbitration, sanctions and force couldn't even get started.
 Besides obstructing the function of any world peace group, such provision would certainly commit the framers of the world 4curity plan to a policy of one set of laws sef the little powers, and different set er the big ones. That's scarcely the way a build the foundations for a peaceful

A CAPITAL OFFICIALLY SAFE
(New Haven Journal-c courier)

NNSW xAhVeH vOukHaa-COuAVAP
 When the fatal news of Pearl liar bor flashed from that supposed bass ton of the Pacific to the startled domes, marble and otherwise, of Washington, such priceless docu- ments as the Declaration of Inde- pendence, the Constitution and the Lincoln Cathedral copy of England's Magma Carta (sent here for safe- keeping in 193o) were at once re- moved from the Library of Congress to e secret vault regarded as safe from any possible raids of Japanese planes.
 Last Monday Archibald MacLeish, Librarian of Congress, announced the good news that General George 0. Marshall, Admiral Ernest J. King and Admiral William D. Leahy had granted him permission to return the historic papers from hiding. The joint chiefs agreed that there was now no likelihood of even a token bombing from planes of a distant tant Hirohito and a retreating Hitler.
 The words of mans independence, spoken or inscribed, can indeed come back to their own free places now,

Selected Poem

SOLDIER CHOICE (Corp. Eugene Ginsberg ir The New York T1mes) If I should pass away and strong with battle Crack this white prison Of mortality Though then should be deaf to life's loud rattle, I do not think that should wish to be. If must die there is no better way Than to fall headlong, shouting in the van; There are no brighter, sweeter youths than they Who perish freely in the cause of man. o should these bars of joy and of despair This cage, release my soul bird of fire, My spirit would boise hesitant in air, Torn by old passions and a new desire, But then, although 1t saw the heavens above Would drift to earth that it had learned to love!

NUTS
tNew York Times)

Walnuts hang in green clusters against the sky, now that the leaves have begun to thin out, and butter nuts can be seen there on the dark branch. Among the hickories there is steady batter Of hulls as the squirrels work their way from limb to limb, making the most of c par- ticularly good yield of hickory nuts, A few sharp frosts and the harvest should be ready for countrynen and boys.
 There are nuts easier to remove from their shells, but where is there more havorsome kernel than that of the black walnut? Buternut and hickory offer closest competition, and many will indignantly shuttle the order of all three. But most will agree that when you have arranged those three to your own preference, you 90 steadily down the ranks in the matter of flavor; and you can even smile patiently at those who hold out for the pecan-sn1ile and maintain your position.
 These top three, of course, are all well armored. Walnut and but ternut will stain your hands and dye your clothes as you gather them. Their hulls were used for years as back-country dye. And when they have been hulled, by driving them through a stout plank with a proper sized hole. or by some other simple method, you still have to crack their inner defenses. That done, you delve for the meat of the matter with nut pick, 8 thin -bladed pocket knife or big alarming needle, probably.
 Peanuts and almonds are for inl- patient souls who would gorge themselves in a hurry. Those who would have the best know that they will need a hammer, Q flatiron and long winter evening. And patience as well as as persistence. And black walnuts. or butternuts, or hickory nuts-and set the order to suit your self.

 He laid down his baton at the close of the concert. Had not some one from the orchestra gently turn ed him about to face the audience, he would not have known that be- hind him a thousand people or more were on their feet rocking the house with their frantic applause. The great composer had not heard a note of his own composition. He could only see the applause which beat against his deaf ears.
