Dramatic Scene
 scene All the nations, big and little are here except the enemy, the six neutrals and half a dozen others whose status either is indeterminate or in dispute.
 Disputed are the rights of Poland and Argentina to be seated here. Representatives of neither will be present British and American op- position to seating representatives of the Russian sponsored Lublin government of Poland apparently has reached a conference-open stalematc.
 The United Press was informed that Stettinius made complete and unpromising report on the Polish question when he arrived here yesterday from Washington. The secretary of state was reliably reported to have told other mem bers of the American delegation that no progress toward solution of the Polish deadlock had been made during preliminary discus sions in Washington.
 Stettinius met there with Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden of Great Britain, and Foreign Commisar V. M Molotov of the Soviet Union
 It looks, the United Press was in- formed, as though the Russians in- tend to stand pat on their demand for acceptance of their handpicked Polish government.
 An informed American official suggested that Russia was insisting upon the seating of the Lublin Poles as a device by which to drive later Bargain on some other subject so far undisclosed. The idea was that Russia might finally agree to reconstruction of the Polish gov- ernment if Great Britain and the United States agreed to certain other Russian proposals.
 Argentina, whose presence here is desired by the American repub- lies, is bitterly opposed by the Rus- Sians.
 There was no physical possibility of either Poland or Argentina to be represented at today's opening, even if the big three could agree. Negotiations in behalf of each will continue as the conference pro- ceeds.
 Representatives of big and little nations are showering proposed amendments to the Dumbarton Oaks plan for international organ ization. The little fellows are chal- lenging the veto powers of the per- manent council members-the United States, Great Britain, the Soviet Union, France and China

making the Bavarian offensive one of the greatest armcred operations of the war.
 German resistance was stiff and at times fanatical on the French and American Seventh Army fronts, but Pattcn's surprise strike for Berchtesgaden appeared to have demoralized even the hand-uicked NaN units chosen for the last stand in Bavaria.
 NaziS Run Away
 United Press War Correspondent Robert Richards reported that the Na1s showed little or no fight at any point along the Third Army front and were running at first sight of the approaching American tanks or surrendering en masse.
 In the first three days since they wheeled southward to join the Bavarian offensive, Patton's men had ridden more than 100 miles over muddy secondary highways, traversing well over half the dis tance to Berchtesgaden without meeting more than sporadic op- position.
 The speed of the drive suggested that the colorful Patton might wind up as the hunter who finally holes up Hitler and his Nazi party chief tains to wind up the European con- flict.
 The U. s. Eighth Air Force struck its first heavy blow at Berchtes- gaden today in support of the ad- vancing Third Army. Hundreds of four-engined bombers were hurled into daylight raid on four rail- way targets in the neighborhood of Hitler's mountain hideout. Another big raiding force bombed the Czechoslovak arms center of Pilsen, less than 40 miles east of Third Army troops on Patton's northern flank.
 The 11th armored division made the closest approach to Berchtes- gaden last night with a 27-mile run southeastward from captured Cham to Regen, where German rear guards fought a brief delaying action. The Tanks were believed well south of Regen this morning. less than 30 miles from Austrian soil and 53 miles from the point where the Inn and SalZach rivers meet to form natural gateway into the Bavarian redoubt
 Doughboys of the 26th and 90th Infantry divisions and other un. Identified outfits were rapidly clear ing out by-passed German pockets in the rear of the 1lth armored leaders on 8 broad front arcing from 20 to 40 miles northeast of Regensburg.
 At the northeastern end of the line, the 90th division pushed ahead seven miles to the southeast to the Eslarn area, 39 miles southwest of Pilsen and two miles west of the Czechoslovak border.
 Final Assault Other Third Army tank and in- fantry forces rammed up to the Danube on the northern edge of Regensburg and speared in from positions two miles west of the city for the final assault.
 Patton's troops also were flaming out along a broad front west and southwest of Regensburg on the direct road to Munich, where they hammered out gains running to II miles yeStArdAy.

would make wartime political ad- justments subject to review by the International organization. Van- denberg complained that the Dum- barton Oaks proposals did not pro- vide for correction of 'injustices"
 At close -mouthed press con- ference in which American dele gates took bow before some 400 newspaper reporters, Stettinius was asked if the Chinese justice amendment would in general Satis- fly Vandenberg's objectives. Stet- tinius ducked that one.
 T can say this 'Vandenberg snapped, arising before the ques- tioning group. T am very happy to welcome justice in this (Dum- barton Oaks) document for the first time"
 The American delegates have ac- cepted most of Vandenberg's pro- gram in principle. The effect upon the conference is awaited with eager interest. When the senator first proposed postwar review of "injustices," the Communist Press in the United States interpreted his objective to be review of Eu- ropean governmental set-ups in which Communist sentiment was dominant. The American Con- munists assailed Vandenberg as a saboteur of United Nations unity.
 It might well be that the Rus sians would back down on Poland provided the American delegation would scuttle Vandenberg's propos- al for postwar review of wartime political arrangements.
 Informed Americans said Molo- toy was both surprised and inn pressed by MT. Truman's firm in. sistence that the Polish govern. ment be reconstructed before be- coming a member of the United ] Nations.

 Further indicative of the belief that the Democrats may seek more than 8 50-50 division is that the Senate Nominated by Democrats) has precedence over the House. There are 140 posts to be filled within the state. It is very possible that the Waterbury posts and those throughout the state will not be filled Republicans along with his brother of both parties and within the indi- vidual parties.
 For example in the Waterbury situation the matter of unseating one of the two Republican judges will be the equivalent of hard hit ball through the infield. Judge Summa is accredited with industries efforts in rounding up votes for the Republicans along with his brother former state senator Francis Sum- ma. Judge Conway who Is known to be favorable to leaders of both Democrats and Republicans, al- though the latter's appointee, is said to be viewed by members with in the party as the one to 90. How ever, party differences long existent may result in Judge Summa having to step down, on orders of c. o. P. leaders.

PRAYER

Oh, Lord, your attention we beg, if you please! Never have times been aS trying as these, Our World is a turmoil of stress and of strife, Never so low was the value of life. Countless the souls who have gone home to thee. That you will reward them is our earnest plea Comfort their loved ones and teach them to know. In your blessed home there is free- dom from woe. They're meeting, dear Lord, the men at the helm, They're planning of peace to prevail OCT their realm. Or, God, you can guide them as no mortal can, Your foresight can penetrate far be- yond man. Make them heed your direction, your guidance so sure, And plan for a peace that will al- ways endure.

Building B j d I Field
Needs Veterans
Average Of 100000 Homes
To Be Built Annually For
Next Ten Years

Beach Keller, Supervising In
terviewer of the USES, states that
a national survey of building has
been made by construction field
experts and that there will be
built on the average of 100000
to $500, 1000 houses alone annual
ly for the next 10 years. This
will mean that there will be a
great demand for construction
workers; especially skilled and
semi-skilled carpenters, plumb
ers, electricians, brick layers,
stone masons, and other workers
in the construction field.
Veterans are especially urged
to enter into this type of work as
we feel that this has a future for
them. A considerable number of
Younger returning veterans will
still have to serve apprentice
ship for varying lengths of time
before they can become journey
men. However, with the amount
of acquired military knowledge
they have pertaining to construc-
ton, they will have the advan-
tage over rank greenhorns, and
will have a chance to be up
graded more quickly.
Apprenticeship training under
the G. I. Bill provided for SUBJ
sistence minimum of $4,000 per
month without dependents, $500
with dependents, and tools plus
the wages that the employer will
pay. This apprenticeship course
will include carpentry, brick lay
ing, masonry. plumbing and heat
ing, sheet metal work, steam fit
ting. electrical work, and other
building trades.
For more advanced trade on
the college level, there are cours-
es in such subjects as air-condi-
tioning, construction, engineering,
plastics, concrete-designing, etc.
Veterans who are interested in
this training should contact the
USES office at any time for COM
plete information for the entry
into any of these trades.
