WASHINGTON - Eas e I
way to get a line on this new

the next few weeks is to per-

The Stettinius appointment is
still subject to Senate confir-

he has been designated by Pres

head of the five-man delegation
which will represent this coun-
try in the 50-nation General AS

In all, there will probably
be several hundred members OF
the u. S. delegation at UNO
headquarters if you count the
deputies, alternates, technical
experts, translators, secretar-
les and military men. But there
will be about 10 top jobs-one

Der of the Economic and Social
Council, one member Of the
Trusteeship Council, one men,

Of Justice.
TITLES STILL UNDECIDED
These top men will probably
have the rank of ambassadors,
or maybe Stettinius will rank as
an ambassador, and the others
none of whom has yet been
named-will be ministers. There
is no protocol to decide what
they will be called-Mr. Am
bassador, Mr.. Minister, Mr..
Councillor, Mr.. Assemblyman,

has not been determined, either.

A DICTATOR sQUIRMs

Democratic peoples throughout the world prob
obly ore viewing with grim satisfaction the desper-
ote, desporine efforts being made by 0eneroIissmo
Francisco Franco, Spons piemy Dictator, to win &C.
eeptonoe among decent nations and thus perpetuote
himself in power.
If it we're possible to be amused by anything that
this product Of Nozisn and Fosoisn might do, then
Francois efforts would be amusing. But his record
considered, they become disgusting. Even little
siekenine has been the personal cowordce demon
stroted by his attempts to divorce himself from the
Foongist Party which has been the pi|Ior Of his die
totorship. The Folonest Porty hos been os much
port Of Fronco-Spoin os Nozsm was Of Hter-Ger-

So the squirminos Of the Spanish runt do
nothing to inspire respect arouse sympathy among
democratic peoples. Among them, it is unthinkobIe
t,ot any government headed by man like Franco
ever could b accepted in the fomiIy Of decent
tions. Sooner or later he must 90 = and where he
is likely to 90 is not the kind Of thought which may
give Oietotor Franco any pleasure.

The BRITISH ELECTION

Most Americans doubtless experienced varying
DEGREES of disappointment because Of the detect OF
the Winston Churchill government in the recent BRIT
ish elections Beyond question: most Americans would
have preferred thot Mr. Churchill continue as Prime
Minister until Japan is defeated
BUT no motter how they may feel in the mat
ter, they will be the first to acknowledge the rgnt
Of the British electorate to dispense with the Church,
i'll regime and to bring about the elevation or Nol
Clement AttIee to the prime ministry. o PoroPhrose
VoItoire loosely Americans may not like nor agree
with what the British did, but they would be the first
to uphold their right to do it.
NoturoIIv the first interest Of Americans in the
motter is Just this: How will it effect Brtoins Por-
tcipoton in the war in the Pocific9 Major AttIee
answered that question by his statement that the de-
feat Of Jopon is his first concern.
Thus the British election will make very little
difference in the Pacific war; Certainly cannot be
supposed Britain might now withdraw from the war
with JAPAN Aside from all other considerations, the
British have too many selfish interests in the Pacific
to permit them to drop out until the lost shot is
fired
II still may be feared that the AttIee govern
nent will contribute less to the war in the Pacific
than Mr.. Churchill as prime minister, would have
liked to contribute But it isn't likely that there will
be ony oreot difference between the aid actually
oven under Mr. AttIee and that which Mr.. Churchill
would have been permitted to give. And it is con-
ceivobIe that greater harmony at home will enable
the new Prime Minister to contribute more to the
defeat Of Japan than would have been possible by
Mr.. Churchill
Regardless Of whom the British prime minister
nnoht be- the foct still would remain thot Uncle Sam
could not count on great deol Of help from any
source in defeating Japan. Any assistance he may
receive, or thot he might have received through Mr.
Churchill, will be incidental in comparison with his
own efforts and sacrifices Americans may feel that
this is not as it should be - that they entitled
to more help But it is foct and Mr.. Churchill as
the head Of the British government wouldn't change
it.

PITTSBURGH AGREES TO
EMPLOY NEGROES AS.
TROLLEY, BUS OPERATORS

PIIISBUR April IL (ANP)
This city may soon join New
York, Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit,
and Philadelphia in employing Ne
groes for the first time as trolley
car and bus operators, following an
agreement signed by the Pittsburgh
Railways Company and the Pitts
burgh Motor Coach Company, to-
gether with union and government
representatives.
The agreement was speeded on
by the recent opening of a perman-
ent office here by the FEPC it is
believed. The method of procedure
was worked out, according to Pat
rick T. Pagan, War Manpower
Commission area director, at
meeting with management officials
and representatives of Division 95
of the AFL Street Electric railways
and Motor Coach Employees union.
AS a result of that meeting, Mr..
Pagan said Negroes will be re-
ferred to the company, as in the
past, the same as other workers,
and that the company has agreed
to accept them if qualified, or to
inform VINO of the reason for re-
lection.
A spokesman for the affiliated
companies declared:
'This is correct. We will accept
all referrals by the VINO, if the
persons are qualified, will train
them, and will place them at work
as operators.
This agreement, if it leads to
the employment of Negro trolley
and bus operators, will mean that
Pittsburgh had done what Phila-
delphia failed to do last year-that
both management and labor here
decided to sit down with Govern
ment and take steps to wipe out
discriminatory employment.

The clubmobile team includes

Gladys Wade Powell, of Milton,
