These men obviously believed that,
as prisoners, they would be safe for

Throughout the day. bands of
stumbling, shell-happy Japanese
YEARLY climbed up the sheer cliffs
bordering the sea. AS they plodded
upward toward the American lines,
they paused occasionally to wave
white flags.
They flinched when American
war planes flashed overhead, and
when heavy explosions from nearby
pockets of resistance shook the
ground.
But after turning themselves over
10 U. S. troops, they seemed to lose
much of their fear. They grinned,
borrowed cigarettes, and took minor
liberties with their guards
Some of them helped Yanks spread
the word back to resisting Japanese
that they were being treated well.

Of Peace Charter
BY r. III. SHACKFORD

SAN FRANCISCO, June %. UP)
Democratic and Republican for
eign policy leaders were ready Fri
day to begin their campaign for win
ming U. S. senate ratification of the
new United Nations charter.
Sens. Tom Connally, CD, Texas,
and Arthur H. Vandenberg, (R.D,
Mich, will fly back to Washington
next week to begin their reports
to the senate less than two days
after President Truman closes the
United Nations conference.
HOPE TO AVOID STRIFE
Both senators are members Of the
.. S. delegation Both hope this
time to avoid the bitter partisan
strife of 1920 which divided the ma
ton and kept the United States out
of the old League of Nations.
With only five days of this confer
ence left, the spotlight already was
veering from San Francisco to
Washington. Here so nations have
drafted charter for a world organ
ization. But in Washington two
thirds of the 96 senators must ap-
prove that charter before the United
States can participate in mans la
test attempt to prevent war.
If the United States-or any other
of the five permanent members of
the security council-doesn't ratiey
the treaty, the organization will
never get started. Present provisions
call for ratification by the Big Five
and majority of the other members
of the organization before the char
ter comes into force.
START DEBATE
The Connally-V -Vandenherg reports
in effect will start one of the great
est debates of this generation. But
the formal opening of the senate
campaign for treaty ratification will
not start until much later in July
probably not until near the end of
the month. Before senate committee
hearings can start, a complete rec
ord of the conference must be avail
able for the senator's 1t is estimated
here that about two weeks will be
