World Peace
Plan Drawn
Roosevelt Ready
for Conversations

WASHINGTON, MAY 81 'LNS
The United States has started
conversations with Britain. Rus
STA and China on establishment
Of a world security organization
10 prevent another world war
President Roosevelt announced
yesterday.
His announcement came q short
time after Secretary Of State HUI
had conferred with the British
Russian and Chinese ambassadors
and then announced that a con-
ference Of the big -Four would
be held here soon 10 evolve an
international peace and security
organization.
CALLS 1T CONVERSATION
Mr. Roosevelt however. sand he
would not consider the meetings
with representatives Of Britain,
China and Russia a conference
The word he preferred, ne said
was conversations.
The President said the plan for
world organization IS IN ITS
first draft stage and that CONVEX
sations are now proceeding among
the Allies.
He said they were amazingly
successful and that the whole
project was on a non-par'lSan
basis.
Mr.. Roosevelt declared the
world organization would be
established on a more pracucal
and workable basis than the al
truistic League Of Nations. when
grew out of the last war.
MAY CALL CONFERENCE
Mir. Roosevelt said that while
conversations have been gong on
for some time. he did not expect
a formal conference would be held,
although. he added he would not
rule OUT the possibility OF a con-
ference. -,
He said he did not think that
Hull meant 10 indicate a confer
ence was 10 be held.
The President said he approved
and supported Woodrow Wilson
proposal for a league OF nations
after the last war. Then, he said
the country hoped 10 end war Tor
all time.
He said the coming organization
would in no way. shape or form
destroy the independence or the
integrity of the United States, but,
the President said if any nation
attempted TO run .amok and to
grab territory of another country,
Il would be stopped before it could
get started.
BENEFIT BY ERRORS
After the last war. Mr.. Roose-
welt said. the movement TO out
law war through League OF Ma
tons got involved In American
politics. That is why. he asserted,
he and Hull have been working
with members OF the senate loI-
eien relations committee TO keep
this plan for a world organiza-
ton on the high level OF non
partisanship.
Asked II the plan embraced the
policy Of the Republican party as
enunciated at the Mackinac con-
ference, the President said that
probably everything that has been
written along that line Is being
considered.
Mr.. Roosevelt was asked II In
the program he would submit . TO
other countries there were points
suggestive of former President
wilson's IL points.
The President replied that
there were no points as such.
This. he said. is working or.
eanization. Progress has reached
that point. he concluded, with
definite plans for carrying the
program out.

BAKSI PUNCHES
 WAY BACK IN
 HEAVY PICTURE

New York, May 27 = CUp) = Big Joe Baksi, the ex-coal miner of Kulpmont. Pa, topped the civilian heavyweight ranks again today by virtue of an upset decision over veteran Lee Savold in their return l2-round bout before il ,362 fans at Madison Square Garden.
 Baksi, the nations No. White Hope, turned the tables emphatic ally last night upon blond Savold of Paterson, N. J., who had taken a 10-round decision over Joe in the same Garden ring, March 10. He gave veteran Savold one of the worst beating's in Lees decade of ring warfare.
 The unanimous decision of the three ring officials was reached by perhaps the most lop-sided ballot- ting for any heavyweight fight that went the distance in the Gardens history. Neither referee Arthur Don- ovan nor judges Marty Monroe and Frank Forbes gave Savold more than three rounds. The United Press awarded Lee one round, and scored two even.
 Game" Enough
 Savold, who entered the ring an 8h to favorite was on the defen- sive during most of the sessions al- though he gamely tried to fight back in desperate flurries. Big, brown haired Baksi numbered after him with the deadly persistence of stalking grizzly bear, hammering him into submission with long left hooks to head and body. Tn the later
