Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

cit. Col. Robert o. Alien now on active
service with the Army
WASHINGTON - NOTE FROM
DREW PEARSON TO READERS:
Perhaps 1 should not let people
know that my sisters are making
me patriarch, but sometimes
Things that weigh heavily on my
mind spill out easier when talking
to my family With apologies,
therefore, / write a letter to my
youngest sister, Mrs. Lockwood
Fogg. Jr., upon the birth of her new
son, at Wallingford. Pad. p.
Dear little sister:
We are on the train going north
and 1 have been sitting by the win,
dow as the sun sets, looking out at
the little cabins, the patches of
green fields, the family budding
fruit trees, and all the other early
signs of Spring. We had rain to-
day, the fields are full of water,
and 1 have been getting ideas from
the train window on how to prevent
erosion back in Maryland
Despite the good weather in
Florida, I was a little sorry to be
away because, back home, we were
beginning to plant some early les
pedeza and get the pastures in
shape. There is nothing like the
feel of the soil in the Springtime,
and the sight Of growing things
except, of course, the joy of watch
ing children grow. And since ours
are growing all too rapidly, am
beginning to get my fun out of the
earth and animals and the children
of my sisters and brother
1t must be wonderful to have a
newborn son. And after brace
of fine daughters, it is especially
wonderful. / am sure he will not
be too spoiled and will respond to
the firm hand of his mother, who
always knew what she wanted and
went after it, since the day she
came back from cleaning out the
Hoadleys' coal bin at the age Of
three.

The sprouts, or buds. which
look like miniature cabbages
are borne in the axis OF the
leaves along the stem. Each
plant should produce a quart OF
sprouts. though they cannot all
be picked al the same time
from any one plant. The bot
tom ones on the stalk are ma
ture first, and so on up the

Space plants 20 inches apart

the Dumbarton Oaks proposals for
tio1.)
What are some of the important
differences between the proposed or
ganization and the League OF Ma
tons?
/. Unlike the League of Nations,
where both the Assembly and the
Council had similar general powers,
4 in the proposed organization the
primary responsibility for the main
tenance of international peace and
security would be assigned to the
Security Council, while the General
Assembly would have primary re-
sponsibility for the facilitation OF
solutions of international economic,
social and other humanitarian prob
lens and the promotion OF respect
/, for human rights and fundamental
freedoms.
q The proposed charter would
make illegal the threat or use OF
force in any manner inconsistent
with the purposes of the organiza-
ton, in contrast to the League Gov
enant which made only outright war
illegal.
3. The proposed organization
would be empowered to insure that
states not members Of the organiza-
ton act in accordance with the prin-
ciples of the organization so far as
may be necessary for the mainte-
nance of international peace and
security, whereas the League Cove
nant contained no provision with
respect to compliance by nonmem-
ber states with the principles Of the
Covenant for the maintenance OF
peace.
Specialized Councils.
4. The new organization would not
have one council, as did the League,
but would have instead more spe-
cialized councils, including the Sc
curity council and the economic and
social council, each with RESPONSE
bilities in clearly defined fields and
with different composition and pow
ers to correspond with their spe-
cialized tasks.
S. The security council would
have greater powers in the use OF
military and nonmilitary enforce
ment measures than did the League
Council, particularly since the pro-
jected agreements and arrange
ments among member states would
place two basic obligations on states
not explicitly recognized under the
League: The obligations (a) toI
make available forces, facilities and
assistance necessary to the security |
council in maintaining peace, and
(b) to hold Immediately available
national air force contingents for
carrying out urgent military meas
ures through combined international
enforcement action.
6. The Economic and Social Coun-
Gil, under the authority of the Cen
eral Assembly, would be empowered
to consider not only an enumerated
list of problems in the field Of
economic and social cooperation,
as was the League, but to facilitate
solution of problems in this field
generally.
Mutually Agreeable.
7. In contrast to the League,
which provided for placing only ex-
isting international bureaus under
the direction of the League, the
present proposals provide that each
specialized economic, social and
other organization or agency, exist
ing or projected. should be brought
into relationship with the new or
ganization on mutually agreeable
terms.
8. The unanimity rule that pre-
vailed in the League would not be
applied in the new organization
except perhaps in restricted form
and in restricted categories of cases,

 Other members in the services may become candidates without being rendered nominations the President told his press and radio conference.

GERMANS ABANDON
 RAILHEAD

LONDON. Mar, 10-(AP)-The German radio announced that Nazi troops abandoned Uman one of the strong bases in western Ukraine.
 Uman is railhead which lies about midway between Vinista Kirovograd, about 25 miles east of the Bug river and is a hinge be- tween the Russian drive toward Nil1olaev and the other Soviet southern Ukrainian drive into old Poland on the west.
 The entire southern Ukrainian front blazed with the great Rus sian offensive, Moscow said, and resulted in the capture of Staro Konstantinov, storming the inner defenses of Tranapoi, and breach ing the German lines guarding the Black Sea ports Nikolaev and kherson.
 The most spectacular of the days developments was the dis closure by Stalin, of new Rus sian drive launched by Gen. Nal inovsky, in southwest Krivoi Rog here in four days of intensive fighting, by the Third Ukrainian army.
