APPROVAL OF
 YALTA ISSUES
 SOUGHT TODAY
BY R. H. SHACKFORD United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
 San Francisco, May 28. - (UP)-A new interpretation of the Yalta formula of vot- ing procedure by the United Nations Security Council was ready for approval today by the Big Four.
 The final draft of a state ment embracing the latest interpretation was prepared over the weekend by tech- nical experts of the Ameri- can, British, Russian and Chinese delegations to the United Nations Conference.
 It will serve as a reply to a list of p questions submitted by the smaller nations in an effort to determine the exact area in which the Big Four and France - sitting as the five permanent members of the Security Council - can apply their veto power. It will be considered at a Big Four meeting today. There was good prospect for immediate ap- proval and the statement in all likelihood will be presented tomor- row to the little nations which have been awaiting the reply since early last week.
 The outlook was good for final solution of the irksome veto ques- tion by mid-week, thus resolving another in the series of crisis which have slowed progress by the con- ference.
 Secretary of State Edward R Stettinius, Jr., is scheduled to de 1 liver a worldwide radio addres on the progress of the conference at 7::3O D. m. PVT. tonight. Ht may be able to announce at thai time that the Big Four have re- solved the veto question. His speech will be broadcast nationally and shortwaved to American troops overseas.

 Death Claim Denied Here

Finding that the "pickle-tub death Nov. 21, 1943 of Joseph Michaud, Jr., at the American Brass Company did not arise out of or in the course of his employment, Compensation Commissioner John J. O'Connell today dismissed claim for compensation made by the acci- dent victims mother, Mrs. Clara Michaud Labbe, and his two brothers and sister, Peter, Robert, and Dorothy Michaud, all of 2l6 Meriline avenue.

Shuri Stronghold Seen Set For Abandonment By Japs For New Stand
BY WILLIAM F. THREE United Press War Correspondent

Guam, May 28. -UP)- A front dispatch said today that the Japanese appeared to abandon Shuri, keystone of their already ruptured OkinaWa defense line, for a new stand at least a mile and a half to the south.
 That supposed new line in high ground south of the Kokuba river valley ever now was being outflanked, however, by an American column slashing down the east coast against meager re- Sistance.
 The column secured a 30O- foot escarpment overlooking the beaches of southern Okinawa after killing per haps 2,O00 Japanese in a three-day t battle, then smashed on another 2,500 yards to Ogusuku town, two and a half miles south of the port of Yonabaru.
 GA Japanese Domei dispatch re- corded by the EGG said Japanese suicide planes sank an Allied bat tleship, two cruisers and three large transports and torpedoed five other vessels in Nakagusuku Bay on the east coast of Okinawa early today.

LAPS BEING 0UTFLANKED ON 0kINAwA Truman Urges Further Wage Benefits
ASKS CONGRESS- FOR INCREASE
 TOCLOSE GAP

Washington, May 2S. - (UP) - President Truman urged Congress today to close what he described as a major gap in the reconver- sion program -" "the lack of adequate benefits for workers temporarily unemployed dur ing the transition from war to peace"
 He proposed that Congress act at once to assure war workers, by supplementing state unemployment bene- fits, of 26 weeks of payments in any one year if they are jobless that long. He pro- posed at least $25 a week for unemployed workers with de- pendents.
 We must provide maximum se- curity to those who have given so fully of themselves on the fight ing and production fronts" the President said in message to congress.
 The transition from war to peace is part and parcel of the war and we cannot shirk our obligation to those temporarily unemployed through no fault of their own"
 He recommended specifically that congress:
 l. Take emergency action to widen the coverage of unemployment compensation and to increase the amount and duration of benefits - at least for the duration of the emergency period of reconversion.
 3. Extend unemployment compen- Sation coverage to include federal employees, maritime workers and other workers not now insured.
 2. Provide supplementary emer- gency funds to assure each eligible worker 26 weeks of benefits in any one year, if unemployed that long Pay to workers with dependents should be at least $25 week.
 These provisions are essential for the orderly reconversion of our war time economy to peacetime produc- tiou," he said. They are badly needed for the duration of the re- conversion emergency as a bulwark against postwar dehation.
 Meanwhile, other administration leaders said they foresaw no eco- homie collapse during reconversion but rather a period of expanding civilian economy in which small business would receive every en- couragement. The emphasis from now. they said, will be on easing government production controls to permit the forces of free enterprise and competition get back to work.

.Biographers

HOLLYWOOD.
How the Marx brothers got their
absurd names Groucho, Harpo,
Chico, zeppo and Gummo, is some
thing that will probably never be
settled. Their biographers, includ-
ing the late Alexander Woolcott,
have several versions, and the BROTH
ers themselves can't agree on any
one of the names.
Take Zeppo. as an example. He
was duly christened Herbert, they
all agree. Harpo says he got the
zeppo from his devotion to the IA
nous clown zippo. Herbert even
had his head shaved and demanded
to be called zippo, which in child
talk became Zeppo.
Chico won't go for this version
He recalls distinctly that once when
they we're kids in overalls, Herbert
saluted him with the hick greeting
Hi Zeke." He replied with a pho
netic retort, Hi Zep." This, says
Chico. became Zeppo.
Groucho will have nothing to dc
with either version. Zeppo, he says

Hollywood Now Assumes a Postwar Shape

Hollywood has been a somber city
during the year of war. Two out of
four films have used the war in
some aspect as a background. Par
ties. except for those thrown by
Elsa Maxwell and Lady Mendl for
the fugitive members of the inter-
national set, have been limited to
small groups. Fist fights have been
the exception, except for dear old
Enrol. While there's an Enrol Flynn,
there'll always be punches-some-
where.
Wives with men in the service
have led rather exemplary lives and
divorces have been on the rare side.
Every married movie actress has
wanted. and some had, baby. 1t
has been patriotic and necessity
to do ones own housework. Pre-
mieres have been blacked out. To
sum up, the City of the Angels and
the movie stars have been a bit on
the dull side these last three and a
half years.
