Big five experts worked late into
the NIGHT to draft a paper for pre-
sentation to the conference setting
forth their unanimous interpreta-
ton of the Yalta voting formula.
The paper-about three pages lcng
and consisting of about a dozen
paragraphs-is designed to answer
the % questions about the Yalta
formula submitted by the little ma
tions nearly three weeks ago.
MAKE HEADWAY
The big five paper sets forth for,
the first time list of '.proceduraI
questions" questions on which only
majority of any seven members
of the 11-nation security council is
needed for decision.
The Interpretation of the big five
of the Yalta formula is divided into
four main points as follows:
1T states unequivcc@ll; that any
question which might arise about
discussion in the council is a pro-
cedural question and thus not sub
ject to the rule of unanimity-veto
of the big five powers
1T argues that while the Yalta
formula calls for unanimity of the
big five on most decisions and ac-
ton, its form is limited as COM
pared with the old League of Ma
tions where all members had to
agree to decision. 1t contends
that the Yalta formula offers less
obstruction to positive action by the
new organization than the leagues

S. c. RECEIVES
FWA ALLOTMENT

COLUMBIA, S. c., June ll-(u'D
Tom B. Pearce, chairman OF the
Research, Planning and Develop
ment Board of South Carolina, an
nounced today that the state had
been allocated $685. by the Fed
eral Government to be used In
postwar planning by governmental
agencies in the state.
The announcement was made
following conference of board OF
ficials and a federal works agency
official with Gov. Ransome j. Will
liams today.
The Governor and Oliver T. Ray,
division engineer of FWA, agreed
that the new Research, Planning
and Development Board would
serve as the state agency to handle
applications for Federal funds.
The Federal allotment to defrc y
the expenses of preliminary ex-
aminations was re-allocated to the
municipalities of South Carolina on
this basis:
Towns of 10000 population or
less will receive about 54.5 per
cent of the funds; cities with a
population between 10000 and So.
600 will receive 1855 per cent OF
the funds and cities over $4,000
will get 11.9 per cent of the total.
ALLEGATIONS to individual cities are
to be on population basis.
Pearce said that small per-
entage had been retained for use
OF state agencies.
The chairman explained that the
funds are to be usee. by the cities
to make preliminary studies of
postwar needs after which they are
expected to submit their findings
to the state agency.

1914, directed the four states to
increase their coach fares for in
trastate passengers from 165 cents
a mile to % cents. This would have
made intrastate and interstate
rates equal.
North Carolina, in a separate
appeal, contended that the order
was an unwarranted exertion of
Federal power over intrastate
commerce.
The proposed increases also were
opposed by the Office of Econo-
mic Sterilization and the Office of
Price Administrator on grounds
they were inflationary.
Black said that had the COM
mission made any findings on the
subject at ALL it would have
found that the les cents rate
would have been a fair coach pas
senger contribution to revenues. "
THE power of the Commission
to require states to raise their
interstate rates." he added, de
ponds upon whether intrast traf-
fjc is contributing its fair share
of the earnings required to meet
maintenance and operating costs
and to yield a fair return on the
value of property directed to the
transportation services both inter-
state and intrastate."
But the commission cannot re-
quire intrastate rates to be raised
above a reasonable level
"And where there is evidence as
here from which the commission
could have found that rate of
2.2 cents was far above reason
able rate level for the interstate
coach traffic, the Commission must
make findings on that issue, which
findings are supported by evil
dence, before entering an order
supplanting the state authority.
Without such findings support
ed by evidence, the commission
was not authorized to find that the
intrastate rates Disseminated
against interstate commerce.
North Carolina appealed the
order directly to the supreme
court after the North Carolina Fed
eral District Court refused to an
null it. Kentucky, Alabama and
Tennessee appealed from a joint
suit in the Kentucky Federal Dis
trict Court.

General Macarthur inclusions
OF the Labuan beachhead on the
west coast of Borneo on his air.
borne inspection trip of his long
front sufficiently testifies to his
intense interest in developments
there.
The Borneo sQueeze-play by
Australian and Dutch troops with
American air and Naval support
has a definite relationship to the
whole Allied strategic conception
against Japan. Recapture of oil
sources in northern Borneo woule
help solve Pacific logistics prob
| lens.
That probably is the first pri
mary objective although air ano
sea bases on Borneo would sup
plement the firm control of the
south China Sea already estab
hshed from the Philippines.
1t is virtually the only oil source
beyond the Pacific to which Nava
and supply line shipping can look
at an early date to refill its tanks
Otherwise the whole vast needs o,
the Army and Navy on the Pacific
front must lie supplied from the
United States.
The useful flow can be restored
more quickly on Borneo than ir
Burma or on other oil producing
islands of the Dutch Indies, never
theless, due to the high grade Of
the product as it comes from the
wells. No doubt the Allied forces
closing in on northern Borneo are
closely followed up by the skilled
workers and the equipment to get
the wells going again at the earli-
est possible moment.
British observers meanwhile
note that for the second successive
wet monsoon season in Burma
British forces are managing to
conduct active campaigns. The
divisions which cleared lower Bur
ma and captured Rangoon have
made no pause to refit and rest or
to await formation of the new
