BY GOULD LINCOLN,
Star Staff Correspondent.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 23.-
Russian aspirations were re-
vealed by D. z. Manuilski, chair
man of the Ukranian delegation
to the United Nations Confer
ence at an outspoken press con-
ference yesterday. He spoke par
ticularly for the Ukraine, but it
is fair to describe him also as a
spokesman for the Union of So
Wet and Socialist Republics.
He made it clear that:
l. Eventually all of the l6 Soviet
republics will seek membership III
the United Nations organization
giving the U. S. S. r. 16 seats in the
general assembly. Russia now has
three, for Greater Russia, the Uk-
raine and Byelo Russia commonly
called White Russia.

governments are seeking an oficia

In Palestine understand some
Polish leaders have been arrested
as undesirables," he said, implying
that if the Russian authorities were
to blame for the arrest of Poles
then criticism should go also to the
authorities in Palestine.
Pressing the matter more strong

Asked About Concentration Camps.
He was asked if he meant that

and what he had to say about the

His reply was that the Russians

the body to the basement and sawed
off the head on laundry tray, using
hack saw.
He told the jury he would prove
that flesh found behind the tray
was human flesh, and that partly
burned clothes bearing blood spots
found in the fireplace, had been
worn by Mrs. Corens.
He added that Corens had given
gifts to another woman and had
proposed marriage to her. He said
he will ask for a verdict of murder

Judge James Clark told jurors be-
fore court recessed for lunch that
they might expect to spend the
night and tomorrow and possibly

war to the unconditional surrender
of Germany, gave King George his

Mr.. Churchill had held the pre-
miership since May 10. 1910, when
he succeeded Neville Chamberlain
during some of the darkest days of

An old-fashioned political cam
paign already was under way, with

Col. Gen. Gustav Jodl and

SUPREME ALLIED HEAD
QUARTERS, Paris, May 23.-Su-
preme headquarters announced
today the arrest of all members
of the so-called Flensburg gov
ernment and an official source
said this meant that henceforth
Allied officers would deal directly
with the German people anc
German prisoners.
Members of the high command ir
Flensburg were taken into custody
along with the Government figures
as prisoners of war, it was an.
nounced. This means the dispersal
of the high command, the official
source said
Used While Disarming Nazis.
Grand Admiral Karl Doenitz, who
succeeded Hitler as Fuehrer, has
headed the Flensburg regime.
Maj. Gen. Lowell w. Rocks, who
yesterday was announced belatedly
as Gen. Eisenhower representative
at Flensburg, now is out of job
and can 60 on to other duties, the
source explained.
This source said the Flensburg
group never was recognized by the
Allies as a government" but that
its members were used by the
supreme Allied command as a
vehicle with which to control the
disarming of the German Army and
speed its way into prison camps.
These arrests mean that from
now on some Allied officer will give
orders to German prisoners, or some
local commander, rather thar
through the German high COM
mand," the source said: THE Ger
man high command now is being
dispersed and put out of existence.
Now Revert to Prison Camps.
The arrest of the Flensburg group
was taken to indicate that its use
fulness as body is finished and its
members now revert to prison camps
or have been placed at the disposal
of the Allies.
The announcement of Gen. Rocks
appointment had been delayed, ano
he had been in F1ensburg for some
time.
The supreme headquarters an
nouncement said that those arrested
included 300 officers and a number
of other ranks and civilians.

For Broad Welfare Survey

The way was open today to begin
q broad survey OF District public
and private social welfare activities
which is expected to provide the
basis for q unified community pro-
gram after the war.
Decision to sponsor the program
at a cost of $45, 1000 was reached yes
terday at meeting Of the Board
of Trustees OF the Community Chest

Community Chest trustees, and since
then has been under study by public
and private social welfare agencies.
DR.. Grinath Outlines Plan.
Under a plan outlined yesterday
by DR.. Ernest s. Grinth, president
of the Council Of Social Agencies, as
a modification Of the original pro-
posal, whose cost at that time was
estimated at $4,000, the survey
would be directed by specially -estab-
lished citizens committees, with the
assistance of professional staff, in
cluding q director and assistant di-
rector.
Also part of the plan is a provi-
sion that a COMMUNICATIVE ad-
visory committee of 1000 persons
shall be set up to review interim
and final reports and offer suges-
tions to the survey committees.
Yesterdays overwhelming 55-to-
8 vote which put the Community

shall. be allocated from approx
mately $4,000 in interest which has
accrued over the last is years from

The survey will be aided, it was
indicated at the meeting, by public
agencies interested in developing a
postwar welfare program for the
District. Though there is no formal
agreement, DR.. Griffith said, cer-
tain public agencies are expected
to loan employees to help conduct
phases of the survey.
AS outlined by DR.. Griffith, the
survey will cover public and private
agencies in the following fields:
/. Family and child welfare.
2. Health.
3. Recreation.
4. Corrections.
S. Group relations, including in
dustrial, racial and interfaith
phases.
6. Adult education.
7, Vocational adjustment Of re-
turning veterans, youths and dis
placed workers.
8. Overall organization Of social
welfare work in the District to dis
cover whether existing facilities are
adequate, whether there is duplica-
ton, and other information.
Each of the eight fields will be SUBJ
jected to study Of needs, existing
provisions and an evaluation Of a
program to meet the needs" DR..
Grifith explained.
The entire responsibility for the
survey will rest in eight citizens

two main ways:
