BYRNES "ALTERNATE" FOR CHOICE

BYRNES 'ALIERNAIE> FOh CHOlCc
War Mobilization Chief James F. Byrnes,
Of South Carolina, was advanced here today
as one Of the major alternate choices OF
President Roosevelt for vice presidential
nomination to the fourth-term ticket.
Although Vice President Henry A. Wallace
is still regarded as Mr.. Roosevelt's No. l
choice, the grass roots revolt against the man
who was literally forced down the threats
of the Democrats in 1910 has already caused
the chief executive to back down from an
asserted original intention to again hold cut
for the Iowa ''dreamer.'
One angle to the Wallace strength lies
in the fact that the nationwide opposition to
him has not yet centered upon any one idlv''
dual Washington newspapermen have comr/
ed list of 20 "eligbles,'' including Wallace.
some of whom would probably not be listed
by the White House as "alternate choices, y
but most of whom would no doubt be accept
able in event of a convention deadlock.
Probably the most acceptable Eligible"
from all angles is Senate Majority Leader
Alben w. Barley, of Kentucky. He is con-
sidered favorte of the American Federation
of Labor, and mot unfavorable' by the Con-
gress of Industrial Organizations. Himself a
southerner, he is regarded as the best man
from Dixie most likely to keep the solid
South intact without alternating the Negro
vote of the north
Because he led the congressional revolt
which brought enactment of the current tax
bill over presidential veto, it is probable
that Mr. Roosevelt would not list him at the
top of the alternate choices" The threatened
break between them did not occur, however.
The breach has been healed and 1T is probable
that the majority leader will deliver the con-
vention speech placing the Roosevelt name IN
fourth-term nomination.

FnR-RYRNEs FRIENDSHIP CLOSE

Despite the controversial angles attacked to
his present assignment-duties of which gained
for him the title of assistant president -
Bvrnes has retained a major portion of The
national popularity which made him the Chief
senate "cloakroom strategist" before his Gle
walton in 1912 to the supreme court. He re-
signed the latter post Sin the spirit of good
soldier to move init the White House as chief
of the civilian front war effort
There is considerable personal regard and at
lection between Byrnes and the president, and
if Mr.. Roosevelt lists the South Carollnian
as an "alternate CHOICE it will be because
of the loyalty of the latter, even at times when
White House demands did not meet with his
whole-hearted approval.
Only once during their entire association, dat
ing from the World War I period, when Mr..
Roosevelt was assistant secretary OF the navy,
did their relationship become strained II was
in 1888 when Byrnes felt the chief executive
should publicly denounce the sit-down strike,
that the then South Carolina senator told init
mate friends at looks like we have come to a
parting of the ways"
Tha breach was healed in a subsequent

SERCT. SHERWOOD
 DESCRIBES FIGHT
Jolly Roger" Riddled in Thrilling Battle Over
 PlOesti Oil Fields

18th AAF in Italy.-It was c hard day for the Luftwaffe when 35 fighters finally knocked the Llber. ator Jolly Roger" out of the sky. Heavy losers were the Me.i0eS, six of which went down before gun. nerS who wouldn't bail out til theyl had more than settled c score with the enemy.
 Staff Sergeant Joseph B. Yur. tAnaS, 776 Kentucky avenue, Gary, Ind, took three of the fishetrS aA wave after wave poured in on hlS tail turret. Staff Sergeant CharlcS s. Isherwood, 70 Chestnut avenue, Waterbury, Conn.,top turret, added two more, and Tech Sergt. James o. Atkinson, secoha, Miss, downed one from the right waist.
 "They came in high out of tho sun," said Sgt. Yurtanas, closing to 100 yards, peeling off to make in. dividual passes from the side, and reforming to repeat the process.
 q saw three of them burst into flames. Two pilots hailed out The third plane exploded"
 The Jolly Roger" was rlddled by the fighter attacks, but kept, on course even with . gaping hole In the left wing, half of the left rud- der shot off and with c direct rocket hit in the bomb bay = at least long enough to take toll of three additional Me-i0os.
 "One exploded right in front ot me-" recalled Sgt Underwood. "They were coming in from all sides. KA second burst into flames. I didn't have time to follow him down, but our ball gunner said he never pulled out"
 Sgt. Atkinson caught an Me.ioa as 1t pealed above his waist post. ton. The flames poured from the cockpit and seconds later the plane went itno Q spin.
 Both Atkinson and Yurtanas were wounded at their gun positions. Tn . ball turret and nose gunners, and the homhardier were killed by enemy fire.
 captain Lewis N. Williams, 1918 Mccarthy street, Raleigh, N. C., tliI pilot, gave the order to bail out when he saw he could no longer keep his bomber in the air. A few seconds later 1t started itno c dive.
 AS he started to jump, Captain Williams found that some of hb wounded crew had not yet gotten out. He managed to right the Jolly Roger" long enough for the remaining men to escape. Tt was good to get out" said Sgt. Yurtanas, But I sure wanted to add two more to take the round number of five down before ] jumped-I'm not kicking though
 Their story came back from Bucharest with the prisoners evacu' ated after Rumania joined the al. lies. The Jolly Roger" went dowr over ploeti in the first 18th All Force attack on the rich oil fieldI last April Sth.,

cry, Yt expresses the hopes Of peace-lovlng nations that civiliza- ton shall provide Q method wherO- by future wars may be prevented and the treasure and the blood of peace-loving states may be con- served.
 It follows closely the American plan as framed ana discussed in conference between Secretary ot State Hull and representatives ot the committe on foreign relations of the senate. Such conferences have been in process for more than Q year.
 These discussions have promoted mutual understanding of the prob- lems involved. It is imperative that we have Q large degree oi unity and harmony among our owr people and the authorities who ae' for them, or wo cannot hope foE success.

1t provides that the organization shall be open to all peace-lovtng states.
 It establishes Q general assembly composed of representatives of ali nations who are members and a security council composed of four permanent members; to wit. the United states, Great Britain, Rus- sia and China, and ultimately France. The assembly is to elect six other members of the council with terms of thre years each.
 An important feature is that noa-memberS of the organization are authorized to bring any interna. tional dispute before the council for settlement. tt is provided that an International court of justice shall be established and that 1t shall Use as Q framework the present world court, with such amendments or qualifications as may be necessary,
 It is also provided that any state rot Q member of the organization If 1t Is Q party to Q dispute under consideration by the council, shall be invited to participate in the dis. cussion relating to the dispute.

 As Q whole, the plan adopted Facets with my full approval. 1tI iIlSiStenee on the employment ol reaceful measures of settlement \ of the highest importance. Armed force iS to DO employed only a e last resort against recalcitrant and defiant aggresSors who would dis turh the public peace.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-10-13

general assembly by the security council is repeated in several other of the preeSnt proposals,
 Article II of the same chapter implies that the Big Four" arc going to have the final say as to what constitutes . peace-lovtns nation, denying the general assembly the right to determine tho Qualtft- cations of its own prospective mein- berS,
 Article IT of the same chapter denies the right of the general as- semhly to suspend from the e%er. else of any rights or privileges ot membership any of its own members except upon directive from the super-hody, The same article pros vlaes that only the security coun, oil can restore rights and privileges that have been suspended and renders the general assembly impo- tent to expel from its membership even persistent Violators ot 1tS charger,
 No Agreement
 Of course, the fact that no agree ment could be reached among the ''hig four" concerning the exercise of veto power emphasizes this thret of domination and accounts for the fact that no provisions have been incorporated for discussion Of thiS draft as to how any of the perma' nent members of the security coun' ell could possibly be disciplined ol held accountable for their actions,
 It seems to be the granting o' these powers, at the outset, to th' security council would turn thi' world organization into Q league ot conuueTorS" in whose hands th' worlds military, diplomatic, eco homie and political power wo0iS permanently remain.
 I propose that the great powers call Q conference of the small na' tionS immediately where these ten tative proposals can be frankly anC democratieally discussed, and whert remedial alternatives to these pres ent proposed powers of the seourit, council might be formulated.
 A further question concerns tn proposed new charter for this or ganiEation to which Secretary Hul has referred, If this charter ignore the pledged word of the S5 nation which have already signed the At lantie Charter, we shall have com pleted a full turn in the vieiou circle of power politics,
 The Atlantic Charter continues ' be the only moral basis for the con tinuing collaboration of the Unite Nations. If this foundation is com pletely undermined, I see no hop i for the establishment of mterna tional law and order on the has' of justice in the future.
