Senator Green Prediefs Un. dnimous Approval
 by U. 5. Senate
By TOM REEDY

WASHINGTON, July 3.-Senator Green (D-R. I) said today there is more than faint hope in the minds of some senators that the United Nations Charter will be ratified unanimously.
 Green is a member of the Foreign Relations Committee which opens hearings next Monday on the his tory making pact to preserve peace. He recalled to a reporter that he worked for the League of Nations 25 years ago, appearing at Senate hearings then as a private citizen.
 There is a different atmosphere now because the people are for it," he asserted. Events have demon- strated that we can't live alone 1 An Associated Press poll already | has shown more than the necessary two- thirds majority ready to vote for the Charter No senator in- terviewed has come out against it. Before a vote is taken, however the thick, seven-point document will be taken apart phrase by ' ntrase and it's import fully de- ! veloped in debate.
 First witness before the Foreign Relations Committee will be Ed ward R. Stettinius, Jr., former Sec retary of State and President Tru-
 mans choice to represent the United States in the postwar se- curity machinery.
 Stettinius and Dr. Leo Pasvolsky State Department expert on the organization plan as it grew from Dumbarton Oaks to San Francisco will be asked to spell out the full meaning of every factor in the Charter.
 Green said such testimony by these two should be enough to "es- tablish a prima facie case" and the group then could hear any opposition views, assuming there are any"

 Air Stepping Stones 10
 Japan, Analyst Declare,
By KIRKE l.. SIMPSON Associated Press News Analyst

Pending the next major move in the "on to Tokyo campaign in the north, Australian elements of Gen eral MacArthur's fast expanding ground forces have speared fal down Makassar Strait to seize the main Borneo oil field at Balik- papan.
 In so doing the Australians have not only split Japanese forces still lurking in Dutch islands to the east and south from comrades on Sum- atra and the Malay Peninsula; but insured recapture of Singapore and Sumatra when Allied armies of the Southeast Asia Command are ready to strike.
 That may not come for months Both the process of British rede- ployment from Europe and the weather probabilities suggest that
 Right now, however, seasonal con- ditions warrant expectation of new action in the Kuriles. There has been no further word of American fleet penetrations of the Sea of OkhotSk. north of the Kurile chain {, but from midsummer on into aut- umn is the most favorable period for attempting seizure of island air and ground bases north of Japan.
 That is what many military ob- servers assume will come in due course to match the capture of pivotal Okinawa in the south, thus ringing Japan's home islands at close range for the most destructive aerial bombardment any country has ever endured. In the current issue of the Field Artillery Journal, virtual house organ of the gunners of the American Army, Colonel Conrad H. Lanza notes that while the Central Kuriles are of slight military importance" both the northern and southern end of the chain now contain enemy bases capable of being expanded
 The distances between the north-and-south Kuriles and the east -and-west Aleutian Islands are almost ideal for spacing air bases 600 to TOO miles," Lanza added. All can be made into sea bases
 While the east coast of the Kuriles is generally greatly fog bound in summer, that might prove more of an aid than hindrance to amphibious attacks which Lanza seems to think are probable.

 Black smoke rose 10000 feet above the important Maruzen oil plant. md could be seen for 30 miles in the night sky.
 Anti-aircraft fire was light and she few Jap interceptors that took to the air just seemed to want to play, said Cpl. W. H. Power of Carrollton, Va. They just sat out of range and wiggled their wings md flicked their lights"
 Our bombs looked like they went nto the target areas" said It. Ches- ter C. Gibbons of Hayward, Calif., riding in the newly commissioned Superfort named Fleet Admiral Nimitz." Somebody right behind us really hit pay dirt. I saw a double flash that lit up the sky for at least five seconds. You know. whoom!"

DRIVE FOR
 VOTES MADE
 IN ENGLAND
Hot ( a dmpaign Between Churchill, AttIee Nears
 End-EIeetion Thursday

LONDON, July 3.-Prime Minister Churchill and former Deputy Prime Minister Clement Attlee-leaders of Britains strongest political parties marshalled their followers today for a last minute drive for the votes that will decide Thursdays national election.
 After crossing swords in a sharp exchange of letters, Churchill, who heads the Conservative Party, and Attlee. who leads the Laborites, planned to mount speaking rostrums to keynote their parties semi-final round of oratory.
 Both parties concentrated their closing fire on London, where a fifth of Britain's estimated 25, 900 votes are punched, with Churchill speaking in massive Walthamstow Stadium and Attlee and other Labor Party leaders scheduling a series of speeches elsewhere in the city.
 Churchill brought one campaign issue to an explosive head last night with a letter demanding that Attlee explain to the nation just what con- trols the Labor Party's Executive Committee might exercise over the government if the Laborites won. Churchill pointed out that the Ex- ecutive Committee was not elected by the voters.
 Attlee replied that the Executive Committee had no control over Labor members of Parliament and added: T am sorry you are so dis tressed, owing to your lack of ac- quaintance with the ordinary pro- cedure of democratic parties in gen. eral and the Labor Party ill par ticular."
 Laborite Arthur Greenwood called Churchills campaign methods those of dictator" and declared: "The most disturbing feature of this cleo tion is the emergence of the Fuehrer principle which is foreign and ab- horrent to the British people"
 While Churchill and Attlee held the campaign spotlight, party lieu tenants and press editorials kept hammering at the basic issue ot the campaign-the free enterprise slogan of the Conservative Party and Labor's program for nationali- zation of basic industries.

WASHING 1T ON-Farm lobby chiefs, among the most powerful Tn Washington, were put in their place curing hot, behind-the-scenes fight inside the War Mobilization Advisory Board last week over the question of giving the Secretary of Agriculture super-power to regulate food prices.
 The War Mobilization Advisory Board chairmaned by North Car olina's ex-Governor O. Max Gard ner, is composed of farmer, busi- ness labor, and public representa- tives. It has dane an Al job Usually Governor Gardner has re- conciled conflicting differences, and recently the Board passed resolu- tion okaying the extension Of OPA for another year with no cripplin2 amendments.
 But when the Board session opened last week War Mobilizer Vinson immediately challenged barren -beaned Ed O'Neal, head of the Farm Bureau Federation, and Albert Goss, head of the National Grange, for going counter to the Boards resolution and favoring the crippling OPA m n d m e nt by which the Secretary of Agriculture could override OPA prices on food
 Ed O'Neal murmured something about not having favored such an amendment, but Judge VinSon i'm mediately challenged him.
 "Oh, yes, you did,' he shot back "You sent a telegram to the Hill Capitol HilD supporting that amendment"
 Tt seems to me-" reproved Eric Johnston, President of the U. $ Chamber of Commerce, coming to Vinson's support, that if any group represented on this Board agrees to a resolution adopted by the Board, it should not go out ano inform Congress to the contraI without coming back and telling us that it has changed it's mind.
