The veto under the Yalta agree
ment does not apply to matters
purely procedural. So the questioners
ask If decision has to be made

Another question is whether
"abstention from voting" by any of
the permanent members would have
the same effect as a veto and block
council decision.
A principal reason for adhering to
the veto power granted the big
powers, they argue, is that unless
there is unanimity among them
there can be no peace.
This applies, it is argued, both in
cases where it is proposed to use
peaceful means of settlement and
in cases where sanctions or force
OF arms is to be used for the main
tenance of world peace. If 1t did
not apply in cases where peaceful
methods are to be used, the big

it is undemocratic They admit,
however, that since the chief burden
of maintaining peace, particularly
if force is required, devolves on the

The Committee on Membership

charter makes no provisions for a

That would just invite trouble

BERCHTESGADEN, May a.
Julius Streicher, the Nazis' violent
No. l prosecutor of the Jews, was
captured yesterday by a Jewish Of
ficer from New York. Hitler's un-
kenpt, bald-headed anti-Semitic
leader was hiding away on a farm
tucked in the Bavarian Hills.
The once-strutting ex-publisher of
the anti-Jewish Der Stuermer tried
to pretend he was an eccentric
artist.
His captor was Maj. Henry Pitt
and three companions of the Ameri-
can 101st Air-borne Division. When
he arrived here after a rough 40
mile rida Streicher, bearded and
scraggly, stumbled from a jeep and
limped slightly.
Ruled With Long Whip.
1t was Streicher who once likened
Hitler to Christ-and who for many
years ruled Franconia with the long
whip he always carried.
With the capture of Streicher
Gestapo Chief Heinrich Himmler
and Foreign Minister Joachim Won
Ribbentrop remained among the top
men in the Nazi heirachy yet to be
caught.
1t was announced here that Gen.
Ritter Franz Won Epp, former gov
ernor Of Bavaria, also had been
captured recently.
Streicher was found on farm
near Waldring, a little village in
an area thick with American SOL
diers of the 101st Air-borne and the
AID Divisions. The countryside is
dotted with hundreds of tiny farms.
hillside huts and hilltop chalets. 1t
was an ideal hiding place
AS Maj. Pitt and his three COM
panions approached Streicher was
on the balcony of a Tyrolean- type
house daubing at canvas He said
his name was "Sailer" and that, as
an artist, he didn't pay much at
tention to world affairs.
Trapped by Faulty Talk.
Maj. Pitt went without an inter-
prefer and it was his faulty COM
mand of the German language that
trapped Streicher.
Maj. Pitt tried to say: You look
so much like Streicher I have a no.

His wife, captured recently by
American troops, said he was known
at home as "Bube.' They had a
daughter.
His powers mushroomed in the
Reich and toward the end of the
days of German power many ru-
mors were heard that it was Hmm
ler who sat in the guiding seat.
The first peace offer to the Allies
was reported to have come from
Himmler, with the proviso that the
Germans surrender to the Western
Allies but not the Russians. That
offer was spurned.
In 1888. when the Nazis came into
power, Himmler held only the rela-
lively minor job of police commits
sioner of Bavaria.
Appointed in 1884.
In April, 1884, Hitler appointed
him to head of the German secret
police which became the chief in
strument for subjugation of first
the Germans at home and then the
peoples conquered by the Nazis.
In June, 1886, Hitler appointed
Himmler chief Of all Germany's
police-the first time a chief of
police had been selected on a ma
tional basis.
From that date on Himmler was
at Hitler's side constantly. When
Hitler made any public appearance,
Himmler hovered in the background.
His organization-the SIS, or Elite
Guard-moved in and took control
as soon as the German military
units conquered a country.

Food Gar Anderson
Leader in Survey Of
Shortage Headache
By the Associated Press.

President Truman reached into
Congress and came up today with a
"czar" to take over this country s
biggest and growing ache-food
shortages.
He picked for the job Representa-
tive Clinton P. Anderson, New Mex
leo Democrat and chairman of q
special House committee that has
been investigating the shrinking
American diet.
AS Secretary of Agriculture and
war food administrator, Mr.. Ander-
son will take over virtually complete
control over Government food pro-
grams as soon as his nomination is
confirmed by the Senate. Greater
authority probably will come his
way later.
Highly placed officials said Mr.
Truman told Mr.. Anderson he would
be boss in fact" over programs deal
ing with the production, distribution
rationing and pricing of food.
Since the start of the war these
programs have been divided among
several agencies. And as time went
on authority of the War Food Ad-
ministration dwindled, while power
of some other agencies increased
notably the Office of Price Admin
istration, the ONCE of Economic
Sterilization and the Office of War
Mobiliza ton.
The point actually had been
reached when ,it could be sad truth
fully that VIA had less authority
over important factors influencing
production and distribution than did
some of the other agencies.
Al this Is expected to be changed
as result of Mr. Trumans surprise
move.
Mr.. Anderson will set policies af-
fecting producer prices of food prod =
ucts, leaving OPA to establish proc
essor and distributor price margins
and to carry out rationing programs
as outlined by the Agriculture De-
partment. In recent months, OPA
has largely set rationing policies,
although VIA originally had been
delegated this authority.

Schwe!|enbach Entry
Into Cabinet Surprised
Top Labor Leaders
By the Associated Press.


President Truman drafted a for
mer Senate colleague with a good
voting record" to be Secretary of
Labor, apparently without consult
ing labor's top leaders.
The resignation of soft-spoken
Frances Perkins, whom President
Roosevelt named as the first woman
cabinet member in United States
history, and her replacement by
Federal Judge Lewis B. Schwellen-
bach, Spokane, Wash, surprised
most labor leaders. They thought
the Jurist would not take the Job.
C1O President Philip Murray, who
conferred with Mr.. Truman Tues
day, said after that meeting they
did not discuss Mr.. Schwellenbach.
AFL President William Green, who
paid two courtesy calls" on the
President in recent weeks, told
newsnen the labor post was not
mentioned during his visits.
John L. Lewis, United Mine Work.
ers president, had no comment, but
he has not visited the White House
lately.
Railroad Brotherhood officials,
long favorable to Judge Schwellen-
bach, likewise seemed taken by sur
prise.
The appointment was promptly
hailed as good one by Mr.. Green,
who had opposed Miss Perkins
selection in 1888. He had insisted
on a Secretary from the ranks of
labor"
The change in the labor port
folio may bring about the consolida-
ton which Miss Perkins wanted
most but could not get because of
war conditions.
MIR. Green urged that the new
Secretary try Immediately to con-
centrate labor agencies in a re-
organized department. He did not
mention the National Labor Rela-
tions Board by name, but he long
has been asking for resignation of
Chairman Harry A. Mills, con-
tending NLRB has favored the CIO
in its decisions.
There are various other labor
agencies scattered through the Gov
eminent, mainly as a result of
hastily organized war units. These
include bureaus in the War Produc-
tion Board and War Manpower
Commission.
The vast United States Employ
ment Service also once was a part
of the Labor Department.
For any thoroughgoing organiza-
ton, new legislation would be nee
essary.
Judge Schwellenbach declined any
comment on policies last night, tell
ing Spokane newsmen he would re-
main silent until he completed his
court work next month. He will
take over here July /.

For illness or disability, a person
would get the same payments as If

Duration of unemployment bene-

present maximum of 26 weeks to a

mltted. The weekly scale would be

the number of dependents. Most
existing State laws have a maxi

Women workers would be allowed

Changes in the old age assistance
phase would provide monthly cash
