San Francisco Conference
 Is Ended
(By Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO-With great is- sues of war and peace hanging on their pen strokes, delegates of 50 countries went to a flag-draped conference auditorium Tuesday to sign the new United Nations Char ter and then heard President Tru- man make his first major address on American foreign policy.
 The triumphant meeting of the United Nations conference, it's last working session, Monday night ap- proved the final version of the char ter. The signatures went on Tues day and now comes the slower pro- cess of ratification.
 Delegates began signing at noon Tuesday. pr. Y. K. Wellington KOo. Chinese Ambassador to London, was the first delegate to affix a sigma ture to the historic document.
 Tapping Monday nights session to its close, Britain's tall delegation chief. the Earl of Halifax, who pre- sided, solemnly told the conference: T think We all agree we have talk en part in a historic moment in world history" All controversy had been sleared away days before this final action, and the vote approval was a unanimous standing vote.
 President Truman, who received a thunderous welcome to the city Monday, made the closing address. He was followed by brief talks from delegation chiefs of the Big Five nations and Representatives of five small nations.

New Postal Regulations
 Announced

After July 1, the burden for proof or indemnity claims on lost or damaged insured mail will be en- tirely upon the sender, it was an rounced this week by Postmaster B. R. SharnbrOich.
 The Postmaster pointed out that reduced rates for insuring items 10 be posted out were put into effect last November l. Rate reductions have. of course, resulted in reduced insurance revenue to the Post Of- flee Department and made neces- sary a simplified method Of hand ling insured mail.
 Effective July 1, the mailing of- flee will keep no record of insured items. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary that the sender of insured mail retain his insurance receipt until 1t is certain that the mailed item has arrived at it's destination in good condition. AS the Post Of flee will have no record of the transaction, there will be no pos sible way to collect on an insured mail claim without the receipt, MT. emphasized.
 Also, it will be the duty of the sender to fill out the receipt form in full, at the time of mailing. Re aeipts only partially filled out can not be accepted as proof of claim.

 The only disagresable part to ths receipt of The Sentinel overseas, i. the irregularity of its arrival. This is largely caused by an improper address so I'm sending you my cor rect address in hopes that l may re- ceive the paper without the lapse of several months.
 One of the various benefits de- rived from The Sentinel is the fact that it aids in arguments with the many State side-critics here who still retain the popular belief that Alaska is merely a land of ice and snow. And, as some of the more shall We say enlightened ones would say after our chat, Brother. that's out of this world!"
 Of course, I must admit, there are some that I allow to keep that belief and spin them enough wild yarns that would make the profes- sional tall story teller at home

At one point when the local office

was said Jeffries stepped into the

that he had invited the convention

with them because the committee

PROPOSES TO RETURN TO
HIS HOME IN MIAMI
TOMORROW

Make Marks, former Key
Wester, grandson of J. Msykos
vitz, of Division and Center SITS,
who has been here week, will
return to his home in Miami to-
morrow.
For many years Mr.. Marks
played ball in Key West, usually
as a pitcher, and during his visit
he tried to interest old timers in
organizing a team to play on the
Fourth of July against the locals
of today, but he said this morning
he couldn't just interest the fell
lows"
He said further, While l don't
know the ability of the Key West
team of today, yet | think that, if
l could have gotten together the
old time tiptop local players, l
think we would have made a
pretty good showing. l am conf
dent | could have gone into the
box and pitched four or five in
nings."
Mr.. Marks concluded by assert
ing that he didn't think there is
as much interest in amateur base
ball in Key West today as there
was when he resided here.

SAYS LACK or MEN
HURT ARMY MORALE

Gen. George c. Marshall, Army
chief of staff, in his rece-' APP
pearance before the House Appro-
priations Committee, insisted up
on Army strength of 6,968.000 by
the end of the fiscal year, June
30, 1916.
Generol Marshall told the com
mittee that a large Army must be
maintained but that present plans
contemplate the return to civilian
life of "a large number OF men
now in uniform who have con-
tributed their share in the armed
services Of this country
To carry out this policy az e.
permit the release of war-worn
men, the induction of those " -"
have heretofore been deferred
and those reaching the statutory
age Q8) should continue at high
rate
General Marshall told the com
mittee that the Army was placed
under "heavy attack when it,
estimated the strength
needed for combat. The attack,
he said, came from "Eewspa-
pers and the broadcasters of those
days" and, as a result, I'VE trim
med our estimates far too deep
Iy."
The chief of staff said that re-
placements were short and "had
a very serious effect in Italy"
where 1T disturbed morale scrl-
ously." He said the Army suf-
fered from an almost continuous
shortage of men from Selectice
Service" and the net result was
that the divisions in combat were
undetermined, low in fighting
power"

RAMSEY HEARD
ON SUBJECT OF
HOSPITAL FUND
MATTER DEALS WITH RACE
TRACK FUNDS TO BE
GIVEN TO GENERAL HOS
PITAL

Ernest A. Ramsey, chairman OF
the board of directors of the Key
West General Hospital, appeared
before the county commissioners
Tuesday night regarding the law,
adopted at the present session OF
the legislature, that directs the
county to give its part of the race
track funds to the hospital.
The county, as a rule, receives
$4,000 of race track funds, one
half of which goes to the public
schools, and the balance to the
county. That sum of $l6,500 will
have to be given to the hospital,
because the law is mandatory.
The county now gives the hos
pital $4,000 a year, but it is
optional with the commissioners
to determine whether or not they
donate that sum, raised by one
mill, added to the taxation, to
the institution, because the law
merely authorizes" them to give
that amount.
1t was said at the courthouse
this morning that the likelihood
is If the $l6,500 race track money
is given to the hospital, the
commissioners will discontinue
paying the $4,000 annually.

VOTE ON TRADE
TREATIES CONFIRMS
HULL POLICY

Legislation extending the Re-
ciprocal Trade Agreement law for
three years has been passed by
the Congress and sent to the
White House where the bill will
be promptly signed.
The Senate vote was 81 to 81.
The final vote in the House, on
May 26, was 239 to 1873. Both
Houses rejected all amendments
that would have restricted the
Presidents power to negotiate
new treaties.
Major opposition was conferred
upon the provision of the bill,
empowering the President to cut
import duties in half. This APP
plies to rates prevailing on Janu-
airy 1, 1945, some of which reflect
already a reduction of so percent
from the excessively high sched-
ules contained in the Smoot-H aw-
ley Act of 1880.
Since the passage of the origi-
nal Reciprocal Trade Treaty law
negotiations have been conduct
ed with a number of countries
and prevailing rates have, been
, reduced scientifically, with an alb
senec Of the bgaroHing that has
made the tariff national scandal
! Of great importance has been
the inclusion of the most favor
ed nation" clause, under which
reductions made in one treaty are
effective in regard to our trade
with all nations that extend the
United Gtates their most favored
tariff rates.
The legislation, we believe, rep
rcSents one of the most important
decisions made by Congress. 1t
probably will make permanent
the power of the President to adj
just tariff rates in. the interest of
the ration. 1t all but removes the
fangs of the vicious tariff Hobbies
that, prior to 1894, largely con-
trolled the writing of tariff legis-
latioh.
The legislation does not auto
matically reduce tariff rates but
it permits the President, assisted
by competent officials, to consider
reductions in the light of posi-
bic benefits and possible injury
TO the American economy.
By wisely selecting the rates to
be reduced and making the re-
tluction contingent upon similar
action by other nations, the Hull
policy removes the danger, If any
existed, CT widespread economic
dislocations in this country and,
at the same time, insues d grad
cal removal of trade barriers.
