Three Ma jor Premises.
While no formal statement has
been made by the American delega-
ton on its position~aon the sdis-
cussion .yeto"sissue. 1t fs.knowrr the
position taken has three ma jor
premises:
/. 1t is impossible to have a real
peace organization if an interna-
tional dispute cannot come in the
front door. This would be the case
il council discussion of any dispute
which appeared to threaten peace
could be prevented by the veto of
any one nation.
2. The Yalta voting formula,
which accords the permanent men,
bers OF the Security Council-the
United States, Britain, Russia. China
and France-the veto power, gives
so great authority to the big nations
that it is not in accord with in
ternational comfy to demand the
veto power be extended even to the
right of small nation to present
a dispute to the Security Council
and have it heard and discussed.
Denmark Invited.
3. The American people and SEN
ate would not agree to a charter
which denied the right-through the
operation of a single nation veto-to
have an international dispute heard
by the all-powerful Security Coun-
Gil. 1t would be idle, therefore, to
present charter, with such an in
depreciation Of the veto power in
the voting formula, to the Senate
for ratification.
The conference is going right
ahead with other sections of the
charter. and it Is believed that if
the veto issue can be settled
amicably the charter can be COM
pleted speedily.
At meeting Of the Executive
Committee yesterday it was agreed
to invite Denmark to the conference.
This was approved in a poll of the
Steering Committee. comprised of
representatives of all the member
nations. The invitation was ex-
tended and Denmark becomes the
5Oth member of the conference.

The circus made determined
effort last night to give its bond
buying audience of first nighters a
three-hour escape out of the world
of war into the realm of pure fan

studded hoofs and pretty girls in

under the big top for the first
time this year, opening a five-day
stay in Washington.
The audience knew there was a
war on. They had bought the
bonds to prove it. enough bonds to
fill every seat. And there was Gen.
George C. Marshall, chief of staff
of the Army, with his Swear -old
grandson Jimmie" Winn leaning
on his five-starred shoulder.
Girls Take Over Chores.
The performers knew there was
a war on, too. Some of the best
flyers in the circus-the men on
the flying trapeze-have gone into
the armed forces. Acts have been
reorganized again and again as
more and more girls have taken
over mems circus chores.
Two days before the show opened

night and hurtled into the net,
but she was back up the ladder
again before the audience stopped

The. six girls cooped up in cage
with leopards, pumas and jaguars
are taking mems places, too. They
like it. The circus says you'd be
surprised how many girls want to be
wild animal trainers. They play
see-saw with the leopards and a
girl in spangles casually sings one
of the spotted terrors around her
neck.

the clowns are very much in the

getting their laughs in hospital

No Girl Clowns.
There are no girl clowns in the
circus. 1t had one once but nobody
talks much about that.
But no one argues about the girls
being troupers. Elizabeth Wallenda,
ex-wife of Herman Wallenda with
whom she still balances on the high
wire, can't find out what has hap
pened to her mother. father and
child in Germany but she still flashes
a dazzling smile into the upturned
faces.
The girls of the Loyal-Repensky
family are troupers, too One of the
bareback riders in the family act
broke her arm a month ago and was
back in the act in IA days. She
still can't straighten her arm out
completely, but in the confusion of
six riders flinging themselves on
one galloping horse. you can't tell
which one she is. Two of the other
girls fell from ladders in another
part of the family act, but they're
working again, too.
The circus is full OF families.
There are the Wallendas-Herman

Czechoslovak provinces, as express
ing surprise that he was listed as
war criminal. Frank said he con-
sidered himself political prisoner.
Ecer said that Frank admitted
signing an order under which
number of Czechs were slain in
retaliation for Heydrich's death, but
the Nazi leader asserted the total
Killed was no more than 1,50O or
1000" instead of 20, 900 reported out

action was taken on the direct order
OF Adolph Hitler.

He said that the question of
