 me pumbarton Oaks proposals are Q product of Secretary Hulrs patient and persistent efforts, This ts one step,
 The next step must be taken by the American people, Since there IS 60 much at stake, regret the ad- miniStration SpoEeSmen, such as Senators ONfahoney and Connally, hy their recent statmentS, have tried Go drag this issue into partisan polt- tics,
 This next step cannot and ought not be hurried, Frank and honest discussion of these proposals is the patriotic duty of every American, I propose to encourage such discus sion before the die is cast because only through this process can the American people reach Q unity of mind and purpose toward these is sues,
 No Quarrel
 I do not think many will quarrel with Q great deal of the detailed propositions concerning the eStab- lishment and function of Q world court, and economic council, and 0 eecretariat, But, there are other propositions in thiS draft that need serious consideration,
 For example, what is the role to be assigned the six principles upon which this organization Is to be es- tahNshedp While these principles are highly commendable in them- selves, they immediately raise the question of the attitude of the Big Four" towards the present trend of Unilateral and unprioipled peace settlements in international affairs,
 I am convinced the answer to this dilemma lies in the proposal I have made many times hefore-that the United Nations immediately form- Ulate and braodcast Its peace terms to the world, Failure to do this will not only jeopardiSe the future peace, but will also lend add cd credenee to the rising apprehen- eionS on the part of the smaller nations to whom such failure will Increasingly appear as though, for the present, three of the Big Four were primarily concerned with their own interests,
 Another question which I am con- crcned is the relation of the gen. eral assembly to the security coun- oil, This draft is particularly am- blguous concerning the relation to the small-nation membership of the security council to the general aS- senlhly,
 Doubts
 I feel that the status tentatively assigned to the general assembly pre9ludeS the possibility of creating a genuinely international body ir which all nations would have Q pro- portlonately equal share In deter initiative decisions and actions,
 For instance, in Chapter 5, Article I. specifically prohibits the genera assembly from direct participation in the settlement of internationa crises threatening its own future whcn it states:
 'sThe general assembly should no on its own initiative make reeom' mendations on any matter relating to the maintenance of internationa peace and security which is being dealth with by the security council,

Will PROTECT NEGRO
RIGHTS, SAYS u. 5.
ATTORNEY GENERAL BIDDLE

COLUMBUS, o., Oct. q
(ANP)-Atty. Gen. Francis Biddle
assured the 34th annual Urban
league conference here last week
that old Civil war laws, passed to
protect the rights of emancipated
slaves and other minority groups,
will be used by the department of
justice to protect the rights of Ne
groes today.
Recognized as an outstanding
liberal, U. S. Atty. Gen. Biddle ad-
dressed the conference on "A Chal-
lenge to American Liberalism"
After the Civil war laws were
passed which should have protect
ed Negroes and other minority
groups from state action, he said,
but gradually these laws became
Ineffective. In the last five years,
they have been revived and effec-
lively used by the department of
justice, he disclosed.
The department of justice is in
vestigating complaints that some
Ngros have been prevnted from
voting in state primaries, Atty.
Gen. Biddle revealed. He said that
criminal action is being considered
in some of the cases. The test cases
that have gone to the supreme
court indicate the federal law can
be used with constantly increasing
success, he pointed out, but warned
that cases should be brought only
where state authorities refuse to
act. Communities must feel that it
is their government, invoking their
law to vindicate their good name,
he said, as successful enforcement
will depend on public opinion, since
under the law the denial of voting
right must be wilful and local
juries are "often induced to ac-

Auto Builders and WPB
Confer on Reconversion
By JAMES Y. NEWTON.

Top officials of the Nations auto.
mobile industry conferred with the
War Production Board today on re-
conversion plans amid indications
that a number of opponents of early
change-over of industry from war to
civilian production, including the
Army and War Manpower Commits
sion, had not given up the fight.
The automobile industry was ex-
pected to be told by WPB that their
plan for start by all firms in the
resumption of car manufacture
would have no standing with the
Government and that plants re-
leased from war work first would
be allowed to reconvert first. The
meeting was expected to bring
strong battle over this issue.
There were several indications that
the bitter reconversion fight was
not over. War Manpower Director
McNutt issued statement last
night attacking early reconversion
plans in which he cited the press
ing need for workers in several war
production programs. Mr.. McNutt's S
statement in original form was
bitter and considerably stronger.
The Office of War Information, it
was understood. forced him to
temper it.

tary of War Patterson declared that
