Closing Nears

SAN FRANCISCO, June
21. (UP)-With a definite
adjournment date finally in
sight, the United Nations
conference settled down Thursday
to six days of technical and formal
steps needed to complete the char
ter of the new world organization.
President Truman will arrive next
Monday and address the final ses-
sion OF the 63-day conference on
Tuesday afternoon.
Postponement of the final session
from Saturday until next Tuesday
was announced officially by Secre-
tary of State Edward r. StettiniuS,
Jr. Unavoidable delays in complet-
ing the work of technical commit
tees. which in turn delayed the
final drafting job and preparation
of the five official language texts
of the charter, were given as the
reasons.
ONE GROUP TO REPORT
All but one of the IL conference
committees have reported to their
parent commissions. That one-the
committee on the political and Sc
curity functions of the assembly
will present its report Thursday
1t was in that committee that the
latest conference "crisiS" arose when
the aoviet Union reopened the
question of the discussiom powers
Of the assembly. A few hours before
Stettinius announced the new clos
ing date, he revealed settlement of

the interests of world peace and
economic well being"
At the same time the President
expressed qualification over the
progress of the San Francisco Unit
eo Nations conference, saying he
was very happy that it had been
success.
He announced plans to make a
brief stop Monday at Portland, Ore,
en- route to San Francisco where he
will address the .adjourning session
of the United Nations conference
on Tuesday.
Mr.. Truman's remarks about the
food situation were touched off by
a questioner who wanted to know
what he thought of the statement
by former President Hoover that
controls of meat prices and distribu-
ton appeared to have broken down
completely.
The President said Mr.. Hoover
had been helpful in their recent
talk in Washington. bit he had
not read his statement and conse-
quently could not comment direct
ly.
MARKED IMPROVEMENTS
In adding. however. that he ex-
pected marked improvement under
the new administrator, he said he
was not reflecting on the present
food administration, but that the
improvement and solution of the
current food crisis would result from
efforts that have been under way
for long time.

But the Russian Nobility Associa-
ton put the crusher on the laudates
of Lucy. who once planned TO manage
Steve Hamas, the heavyweight.
A noble bull proclaimed the prince
an exaggeration. The Tchitcherines
were a good old Russian family, but
not titled, it stated, while the Eris-
tavis were Italians, all right, but no
such title existed in the days of the
Russian Empire.
Association membership (and the
clear claim TO rank that goes with
it, is limited to Russians born Of
nobility with two sponsors.

Time" Accurate. But Not Complete

In an article titled Anchors 10 Windward," Time Mag
azine this week deals at length with post war possibilities of
the Ingalls, Shipbunding Corporations P~ascagoula yard.
Time, as usual, was accurate, but in this instance, consid-
erably incomplete in its summing up of present Ingalls, con-
tracts on which future operation of the yard is based.
To quote Time in part:
The reason for their satisfaction at the end of war work
was that shrewd, cantankerous Robert lngersoll Ingalls,, go,
had got a running start on peace-time business. From where
he sat, he calculated that he could hold the number of work
es Cat the ingalls, yard heTe) at 5000, and still keep the COM
pany operating at a profit on commercial contracts.
Bob Ingalls, anchors 10 winward.
Two fat contracts. ~ to convert three cargo ships into
passenger-cargo liners at four million dollars each for post
war service to Scandinavia, under the Moore & Mccormick
house flag; () to build three de luxe passenger liners (cost
five million dollars each) for the Mississippi Shipping Com
pany, Ines Delta Line, to sail from Gulf ports to the East
Coast of South America.
Son Robert, Jr, was in Brazil to drum up orders for
new ships for the antique, but vital Brazilian Merchant Ma
rine.
Smart young ingalls, engineers were putting the finish
ling touches on designs for a new Dieselelectrie locomotive.
Ingalls, hopes to sell railroads $50 every post war year"
Where Time erred was:
The three cargo ships to be converted for Moore & Nc
Cormick should be seven; no melton was made of the three
aIl-welded dredges to be built for the u. S. Engineers at
four million dollars each, with the engineers having an OPP
ton of a fourth dredge.
All this goes to substantiate the facts we carried in an
editorial last week. ingalls, is here to stay and Pascagoula
is on its way to becoming the most thriving city on the Gulf

that there is, after all, a direct causal relationship between
crime and punishment in the framework OF history ana CIV
|~iization.
We must not forego all reliance upon words, OF course.
Our psychological warfare must go on for many years. just
as a child should not be punished without an explanation,
SO the Germans must be shown the philosophical evil OF the
doctrines which ruined their nation and hail OF Europe. "A
few of even the older ones will ultimately accept the truth
of what we have to say. The rest no doubt Will grow old
believing they were right; and with them 1t VIII De uniortun-
ate but it will not matter so long as they are kept disarmed;
and though we may have failed to reeducate them, at least
some of Europe will have been rebuilt despite their unre-
pented stubborness.
For our purely educative work with words, books, MS
tories, teaching, we must go to a youth that IS younger than
Hitlers youth. and this means the children OF Germany who
are now still below adolescence. These will have grown
from infancy in a mood of defeat upon the nation, IN the true
"Gotterdammerung," a twilight of the Nazi gods. And with
skillful teaching, we might identify Nazism in their minds
forever with suffering, evil, and defeat. If we do our job
well, this might be the German generation which finally,
in ten or twenty years from now, grows to maturity capable
of making the ultimate break with the German kultur OF mil
itarism-the nightmare of ~blitzkrieg, thunderbolts, goose step
pirg automatons and party congresses-the kultur which
achieved its foreordained zenith by making a final deity of
a psychopathic and offensive little mailman.

Commissioners Should Get Poy Raise

A special election has been called by city officials for
Tuesday, May %, at which voters will decide on the ques-
ton OF raising the pay of the two city commissioners $50 a
month to a total of $3.50.
This raise, in our opinion, is little enough. If the two city
commissioners held jobs in private business of like responsible
ity, they would command salaries well above even that con-
templated in the pay raise. Then too, may city employees,
working under the commissioners, receive salaries wei. above
the 5000 monthly they now receive.
Running the city's affairs is definitely a big business, and
able administration of these affairs will have a lot to do
with our future. To continue to attract sincere and quail
fled men the pay should be somewhat commensurate with
the duties and responsibilities o. the office.
We believe every fair thinking voter will unhesitatingly
answer yes to the question when they go to the polls on
May %.

Soldier Ideas Win Extra Furloughs

(ACS) F Among the historic items that have been blasted in this war is the old notion that "you ain't supposed to think in the Army"
 The War Department is not only urging GIs to submit ideas but is rewarding soldier suggestions with special furloughs, commendations, promotions, preferred assignments and, in some cases, the Legion of Merit. Thousands of Army men and women of all ranks and sta tions have already scored in the ideas program.
 It's not necessary to be an in- Ventor or: mechanical expert to. win recognition. Some of the sim plest ideas ring the bell. More eff cient methods in paper work, bet ter ways of marking things and new methods of loading packages click as we'll as technical improve ments on field pieces, equipment and vehicles.
 Anything that will increase safe ty or efficiency, anything that will save time, effort or money, or im- prove morale is worth submitting to the co or dropping in the sug- gestion box. Ideas may have a purely local or general applica- tion.
 Special furlough and travel time awards are not counted against a soldiers regular furlough time.
 Civilian employees are also elig- ible for suggestions awards.
