Ball Asks Nation
To Use Every Means
To Crush Fascisn,

Senator Ball, Republican, OF Min
nesota believes the United Nations
should use every influence. short of
force, to see to it that fascism is
eliminated in the world--including
the governments of Spain and Ar
gentina.
Discussing these two countries,
Senator Ball observed that "they are
as much a part of the Axis as was
Mussolini's Italy, despite their last
minute conversion"
Threat to Democracy.
Speaking yesterday at a meeting
OF the Washington Building Con-
gress in the Mayflower Hotel before
which he made his first public
address after his appointment as
Senator four years ago, the Mime
sotan asserted he believed tyranny
and oppression anywhere" If al
lowed to exist side by side with
democracy-provide a threat to
freedom everywhere.
He decried any continuance of
the doctrine of self-determina-
ton of nations to the point OF
acquiescence in persecution of min
critics by any nation" and said he
personally also would not agree to
use of this country's political and
economic support to uphold Fascist
regimes"
Turning to current developments
at the International Security Con-
ference in San Francisco, he said
he and Senator Hatch, Democrat, of
New Mexico, member of the SEN
ate Foreign Relations Committee
had been "incensed" at the seating
of Argentina at the conference be-
cause it didn't make very good
sense
Argentine Seat Opposed.
He said he and Senator Hatch
had wired the United States dele
gates opposing the action and had
received an explanation for the
move which he did not detail. Ad-
mittance of Argentina, nevertheless,
he said, docs tend to weaken the
theological basis of this organiza-
ton, whose purpose is to fight
fascism and aggression
Commenting on the Soviet dele
gates position at the Security Con-
ference, he said:
"Russia's attitude is the big ques-
ton mark as to whether this world
organization will work or not. We've
got to make it clear to Russia that
you can't eat your cake and have it,
too.
"She can't go ahead on a strictly
unilateral basis and on an interna-
tional security basis at the same
time"

Mr.. Engel, asserting he expects
enough support to have his plan
adopted, added:
Not only from the viewpoint of
humaneness but as an economic
proposition it is unsound to keep
such men. 1t costs the Government
large sums for allotment and allow
ance payments and. If the man is
killed, there is continuing liability
to the dependents.
And, with worry over the well
fare of their families, they normally
do not make the best soldiers"
Mr.. Engel said he believes legis-
lation is necessary because the
Army's point system for handling
discharges fails to deal adequately
with men having more than three
children.
The point system allows II points
for each of the first three children,
but none for additional children. A
total of IS points is required to
make man eligible for discharge
consideration under the system.
"A man with five children would
have to serve 49 months in this
country. or Is months here and Il
abroad before he could acquire IS
' points" Mr.. Engel asserted.

Chinese Paper Proposes
Conference in Asia

CHUNGKING, May is tP-The
Chinese Herald. which often reflects
the views of the Chinese Foreign
Office, today advocated a meeting
somewhere in Asia of President
Truman, Prime Minister Churchill
and Generalissimo Chang Kai-

The newspaper said such a meet

The unconditional surrender oi
Germany and the massing of the

adding that the grand strategy fol
defeating Japan should be discussed
thoroughly from standpoints of Co

tons.
The question whether the Allie

Bible Society Hears
How Fighting Men
Prize Scriptures

Two youthful war veterans, one in
Navy uniform and the other in Army
dress, yesterday told more than 100
civic leaders and Army and Navy
officers at a meeting Of the Ameri-
can Bible Society at the Washing
ton Hotel how much the Bible meant
to men facing the enemy in battles
on land and sea.
The veterans spoke at a luncheon
called to knit plans for the drive by
he American Bible Society to fur
nish 100000 Scriptures to the
armed forces and to the peoples of
Europe during this year A national
campaign to raise 100000 was
started Sunday. Washington's quota
was set at $50, 900, Arthur C.. Pear
son, chairman of the local campaign
committee, announced at the meet
ing.
Corpl. Ben Ykma, now at Forest
Glen convalescing after four years
service in the Army, and Gunner's
Mate 1fc Charles Zimmerman, re-
lated how the Scriptures brought
them peace during engagements.
Rear Admiral Robert D. Work
man, Navy chief of chaplains, and
1t. Col. Donald Stuart, chaplain at
the Army Medical Center, presented
the views of officers working with
the men.
A decision to send 160, 900 Bibles
published in German tn Gerrnanv
in the near future was made by the
organization recently, DR.. George
Dilworth, secretary of the Atlantic
district of the American Bible So
ciety, said, because it felt that was
the best way of re-educating that
country's people. He asserted that
the answer to the present need of
the world is fundamentally in the
Bible.

Reports on Waste Made.
Asked by Acting Chairman Mon
roney If he has authority to say
that a given agency is wasting
money, Mr.. Warren replied affirma-
lively and said that many such re-
ports have been made to Congress.
Il would not be frank, however,
If did not say we became very
discouraged at the reception some
of our reports receive" the con-
troller general added.
He testified some reports have
been completely ignored" and that
a few have been given coat of
whitewash."
Mr.. Monroney suggested system
of showcase accounting" and said
that bringing the reports publicly
to the attention of the House would
be helpful.
As examples of expenditures that
might be legal but unnecessary, Mr..
Warren cited the sending of tele-
grams short distances, when a 3-cent
stamp would take the message by
mail overnight, and the shipping of
Government circulars across the
country by air, even when they were
not to be used at the point of desti-
nation for a month after receipt.
Mr.. Warren explained that when
his Office finds what it regards as
unwarranted expenditures it first
communicates with the agencies in
VOWED. In 80 per cent of the cases
the suggestions are welcomed, he
said, but added that there are some
in the Government who resent let

Will End Visit Tomorrow

British Foreign Secretary Anthon,
Eden will leave Washington tomor-
talks on world problems here with
President Truman and Acting Sec
retary of State Grew, he told re-
porterS today.
He conferred for an hour today
with Mr.. Grew, but did not say if
proposals for a Truman-Churchill-
Stain meeting were included in the
many subjects" discussed.
Mr.. Eden, who saw both the Presi-
dent and Mr.. Grew yesterday, said
after today's meeting with Mr.. Grew
that they had made "a complete

u. S. Officials Optimistic.
United States officials are re-
ported to feel quite optimistic over
settling the regional defense con-
troversy. the expectation being that
Russia will have no major criticism
of the formula now generally
agreed to-
There was some uncertainty yes
terday over the attitude of Latin
American delegations who are de-
! termined that the inter American
system must be preserved intact.
But after Secretary of State Stet-
tinius had met with nine Latin
American leaders word spread that
they had found the formula gener-
ally acceptable and wanted now to
be reassured that such changes as
are in prospect would not mean any
weakening of the United States good
neighbor policy.
There was some talk that Presi-
dSllC lilA6llt 4oodC a RSiASJ
statement on that point or. failing
that, that a similar declaration
might be put out by the United
States delegation here.
The formula, 1t can be stated on
the highest authority, is based on
these principles:
L. Any regional organization es-
tablished in good faith to settle local
disputes is considered consistent
with the world organization. Such
organizations are the inter-Ameri-
can system, the British Common
wealth of Nations, the Arab FEEDER
alton
2..If a dispute does not yield to
peaceful means of settlement and
threatens to erupt into violence,
then the World Security Council
should take over, with its authority
to use force.
3. If the World Security Council
fails-possibly because one of the
big powers vetoes action-to stop an
attack by one state or another, the
state attacked has the right of self
defense.
4. The right of self defense in
cludes the right of collective de-
Tense" That means, for instance,
that If one South American state is
attacked all the other American ma
tions, including the United States,
may rally to its assistance. Such
action is provided under the Mexico
City pact Of Chapultepec in which
the American republics agreed to
stand together against any agressor.
Exact Wording Not Agreed On.
These principles have been ex-
pressed in several different amend
ments to the Dumbarton Oaks plan,
but the exact wording has not yet
been agreed upon. The last amend
ment was worked out Saturday by
Mr.. Stettinius and British Foreign
Secretary Anthony Eden. 1t con-
tains two main changes from drafts
previously written by the United
States delegation:
!. 1t stresses the right of "col-
lective defense" rather than merely
regional defense. That is due to
the fact that while the pan-Amer-
ican organization is a regional sys-
tenn, the British commonwealth is
not regional but worldwide. Mr..
Eden wanted to be sure that the
right of British nations to defend
each other would not be impaired.
2. It limits the use of force by
a regional or collective defense
system to the time of an actual
attack on a member nation. Thus
the power to deal with threats of
aggression by enforcement is re-
served to the World Security
Council.

'Goering First Listed
AS War Criminal
In November, 1914
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, May 15-The Wal
Crimes Commission revealed today
that the name of Reichsmarshal
Hermann Goering had been on its
list of war criminals since Novem-
Der. 1914, as headquarters of the
United States 7th Army issued a
denial that the corpulent Nazi lead
er had been pampered.
The dispatch from the 7th Army
said there had been mo handshakes
or chicken dinners at headquarters
for Goering, adding that ION ar
rival at the Army he was confined
to 7th Army detention camp"
yesterday Gen. Eisenhower is
sued a statement condemning
the treatment of Nazis and high
German officials on a friendly
basis British and American
newspapers had criticized the
reception of Goering. who sur

The statement by the United Ma
tions War Grimes Commission said
simply:
With reference to recent discus
sions in the press, the United Ma
tions War Crimes Commission de-
sizes to state that Hermann Goer-
ing's name was placed in November
1914, on the first list of persons
charged with war crimes which was
adopted by the commission.
Meanwhile, fresh warnings that
the Germans-especially their gen.
erals-must be made to understand
that war is not a game that ends
in handShaking" came today in the
House of Lords.
Lord Woolton, Minister of Recon-
struction, declared:
There was no chivalry in the
sinking of the Athena by a sub
marine in the early days of this
war, or in German soldiers send
ing weapons of destruction without
warning to kill women and chill
dren."
War Not a Game.
Referring to the remark attributed
to one German general that the end
of the war was like the end of a
football game when opponents shake
hands, Lord Woolton said:
I'VE tell the German general and
his kind that this war has not been
a game that ends in handshaking

either to reduce the power of the
Security Council or to increase that
of the proposed World Assembly in
which the small nations will have
most votes. This debate, however,
has been generally inconclusive.
One point which was decided in
committee last night was that the
secretary-general of the organiza-
tion-the man who will boss it's
working staff-should be elected by
the general assembly on recon-
mendation of the Security Council,
as the Oaks plan provided.

is open to all peace-loving states,

Georges Bidault. The French dele

The American delegation appar-
emily has divided on the issue of
whether to settle trusteeship policy
here or delay a final agreement un-
til the victors meet around the peace
table or until the international Or

Comdr. Harold E. Stassen, former
Republican Governor of Minnesota,
repeatedly has taken the position
that a general policy should be fixed
at this time. Senator Vandenberg,
Republican, of Michigan, on the
other hand, is much more interested
in completing the international
