Sponsors Prouisions
For Adjustments

Though II is generally agreed that
the support Of the American people
Of any international organization of
which Russia is part depends on
the conduct Of the Kremlin between
now and the end OF the San Fran
cisco conference, Senator Vanden-
berg goes farther than that. He says
that the support of the necessary
tWo-thirds of the United States SEN
ate for any organization which rec.
ognizes international organization
depends upon inserting into the
document which defines it. what he
calls an escape clause" That es-
cape clause would permit the re-
adjusting Of certain conditions now
existing, certain sore spots which he
feels may become cancers. The es-
cape clause would permit the Unit
ed Nations to escape from any re-
striction which prevented what they
feel is the righting of wrongs.
Injustice" says Vandenberg, lis
strait jacket and you can't keep
the world in a strait jacket"
OF course, there are lot Of Polish
votes in Vandenberg's constituency
and member of congress is such
by virtue Of. and the powers he ex-
erts are delegated by, the people
who put him in office. Nevertheless,
he is not speaking merely for his
Polish constituents when he talks
about including in the jurisdiction OF
the United Nations, the administer
ing Of justice. That is the trade
mark he wants to put on any or
ganization which comes out Of San
Francisco.
Other members OF the delegation
have trademarks of their own. But

willing to make considerable sacri-
fee Of their personal views, rather

decades prior to our entry into the
present war, notable progress was
made In reducing railway acct
dents, and especially those resulting
in casualties to passengers and en-
ployes. In 1882 and again in 1885 but
a single passenger was reported an

walked down the cool. twilit COR
ridor OF the senate Office building
and out into the warm spring sun.
As crossed the threshold. the light
on the bright white marble step
blinded me and for a second ]
CROPPED downward blindly.
As ! stood moment recovering
my equilibrium the thought flashed
through my mind that this expert
ence was very much like the longer
one which preceded 1t. had been
talking with Vice President Truman,
Senator's Conn y. Vandenberg and
others about IL forthcoming meet
ing in San Francisco Of the United
Nations.
! recalled Truman's nervously en-
ergetic speech as he assured me
that he was giving his time to just
one thing: acting as liaison between
the President and the senate to keep
the chief executive and the legisla-
tive leaders as nearly in step as pos
sible.
! recalled Senator Vandenberg's
expression as l left him plunged
deep in the thousand extra tasks and
worries which his function as Re-
publican member OF the delegation
had plunged him. He had said:
If San Francisco doesn't succeed it
will be the greatest moral blow the
world has ever experienced"
thought OF Connally's careful pol
icy Of withholding public comment
or quotation concerning the coming
conference. except carefully thought
out statements or speeches such as
the one he will make in the senate
before the conference. His is the
delicate task as senior administra-
ton representative on the delegation
Of maintaining balance between
the views Of the Republican men,
bers represented on the delega-
ton, the administration viewpoint,
and his own and other personal
views. After all, as senate major
ity leader he is responsible for help
Ing to carry out a policy which not
only majority, but two-thirds Of
the senate will accept.
/ also thought of the wide vari-
ance Of views expressed by men,
bers Of both houses not directly con-
nected with the negotiations and OF
the great reticence Of many who
hesitate to express any view at this
time.
And I thought Of the out-and-out
isolationists; very few who admit
that position and others whose
doubts and suspicious battle with
what they feel has been the strong
trend for wholehearted cooperation
which the various polls and other
media Of public expression appear to
register.
These kinetic thoughts moving
now in harmony, now in friction,
seemed suddenly to have generated
binding light that burst into the
shadows Of the complacent assur-
ance which had enveloped me and
left me little dizzy. What ire
mendous opportunity seems to be
offered to war-weary world; what
a fatal possibility if the effort fails.

Fear of Russia
Shades Future

1t is clear that such doubt and sus-
picion as may have arisen as to the
possibility Of failure Of achievement
Of world cooperation arises chiefly
from one thing; fear of Russia. Next
Is the feeling in some quarters that
Churchills inability always to get
along with Stain bodies Ill for tri-
party harmony and some feel that
the United States instead Of trying
to bring the two closer together
should identify American interests
more closely with Britain as opposed
to those of Russia.
Then there is still the unhealed
sore which President Roosevelts
personal emissary. Edward Flynn,
has been trying to heal, the friction
between the Vatican and the Krem-
lin.
Lastly and perhaps more disturb
ing is what appears to be unilateral
action toward small countries on
the part Of Russia in spite Of the
Yalta agreement.
Now those persons like Vice Presi-
dent Truman, who take the more
positive and more hopeful view. feel
that some Of these factors have been
built into bogey-men, that granted
they exist as facts, that Churchill
and Stain don't always see eye to
eye and that even less sympathy ex-
lists between the Catholic church and
the head of the Communist party,
none Of these situations need affect
the creation of an International or
ganization.
As to fear of Russia. Well, frank

InfiItroting Nozi PIotters Fail

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, May 18.-Who Is The
Voice?
Who is Pruneface?
Who sleeps with Jiggs?
Questions such as these broke up
the plot of 1t. Col. Otto Skorzeny,
captured German leader Of band
Of kidnapers and would-be assassins,
to kill Gen. Eisenhower last winter.
Capture of the giant Skorzeny
permitted the story to be disclosed.
Skorzeny led special battalion
Of English-speaking desperadoes in
American uniforms using American
equipment who had been especially
trained at a school near Berlin.
When Field Marshal Won Rund-
stedt started his Ardennes offensive
last December, small bands from
this battalion infiltrated the Amer
ican lines, some to report back
on troop positions, others to at
tack the Americans with American
tanks, and yet others to roam deep
in the rear with the purpose of
committing major sabotage and as
sassinating key American generals.
One such party of four pene-
trated as far as Liege.
Since ordinary passwords were
useless under the conditions, the
Americans resorted to a few un-
orthodox tricks Of their own.
Roadblock guards would thrust
their tommy guns into automobiles
and pop questions which required
an up-to-date knowledge Of comic
papers, swing music and other
Americana.
Some Of the Germans failed to
pass the examination and were cap
tured.
In this way it was learned that
Skorzeny had reserved for himself
a mission to kill Gen. Eisenhower.
There was little chance for Skor-
zeny to disguise himself since he
was 6 feet inches tall, had q long
duelling scar across his face, spoke
no English and his description was
In possession of the Americans.
His plan was to 60 in a mixed
party of Germans dressed In Amer
ican and German uniforms. When
stopped those In American uni
form would say they were taking
high German officers to supreme
headquarters for questioning. In

After the last war, Mr. Downs said,
the only year in which Washington's
population decreased was in 1920.
The economist predicted. a great
building boom for five years after
the war. but said a depression might
result from overproduction by the
early 1950s.

Britain Plans 10 Keep
Information Services
After War Is Ended
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, May ia Govern
ment spokesman said today that
Britain intended to maintain in
formation services in various parts
of the world after the war, but in
dicated they would not be so extern
sive as at present.
Several members of Commons de-
manded that every effort be made
to get across the British point of
view," especially in publicizing the
British war effort.
Ernest Thurtle, parliamentary
secretary of the Ministry Of Infor-
nation, explained that there would
not be the same unanimity of out
look in peacetime az in war and
that the British point Of view
would not be one but a conflicting
number Of viewpoints"
Used Usual Channels.
"The best way to put that conflict
before foreign peoples" he said,
was by means of the usual chan
nels-new agencies; foreign corre-
spondents; British newspapers, peri
odicals and books. and by feature
broadcasts by the independent
BBC."
Mr.. Thurtle said there was dan
ger that an official service express
ing an oficial point of view would
not necessarily be as true a reflec-
ton of the state of opinion as the
opinion set forth by other agencies. I"
The British Ministry of Informa-
ton, he said, had never been con-
cerned with propaganda in the
United States, but merely with the
distribution of sound information.
Broadcast Plans Indefinite.
Mr.. Thurtle said that while the
BIC had proved during the war that
telling the truth could be more
effective than calculated lying, 1t
still was too early to give any def
mite statement on the future of for
eign broadcasts.
1t would seem unreasonable to
keep up foreign broadcasts on a
wartime scale. he said, as the BIC is
by no means the only link now with
Europe and there are serious tech
nical difficulties about wave
lengths"
1T would be ill-advised to give
programs to countries which would
be resentful of the broadcasts," he
said.
The government, he said, wants to
avoid having the air plugged with
a mass of conflicting propaganda"
