Stettinius Receives
New Soviet Note on
Polish Representation
Secretary Doesn't Hint
Whether StuIemote on
Government Is Broken
BULLETIN.

LONDON (P.-Sir Archibald
Clark Kerr, British Ambassa-
dor to Moscow, will 60 to
Washington to sit in on con-
ference of the Big Three for
eign secretaries, it was learned
tonight.
Secretary of State Stettinius
said today a new note has been
received from the Soviet govern
ment regarding the question of
Polish representation at the San
Francisco Conference.
He was unable to tell news con-
ference, however, whether the note
renewed Russian demand that the
present Communist st-dominated Pol
ish provisional government in Mos
COW be invited to San Francisco if
a new national unity government
is not formed in time
The original Russian demand was
fatty rejected recently by the Amer
lean and British governments. Mos
COW radio broadcasts yesterday de-
clared that Russia was still insist
ing that the Warsaw Poles should
be invited.
Mr.. Stettinius said he had just
returned from a White House talk
with President Truman and had not
had time to read the new note be-
fore going into his news conference.
Delegation in Agreement.
There was no comment on re-
ports that the stalemate on creation
of a broader Polish national unity"
government had been broken by
Premier Stalin's agreement to for
nation of a cabinet including rep
resentatives of Poland's four old lib
eral parties.
Mr.. Stettinius announced that the
United States delegation completed
this morning its review of proposals
for creation of world security or
ganization and "is in agreement on
all major points"
He said that various suggestions
for changes in the Dumbarton Oaks
proposals by members of the dele
cation and by other governments
had been considered by the dele
gates, but declined to say whether
the American delegation would sup
port any amendments.
Silent on Assembly Proposal.
He said he could not discuss re-
ports that the delegation had de-
cided to propose a change that would
permit the assembly of the proposed
international organization to rec
ommend revisions in treaties.
The delegation. Mr.. Stettinius
said, "is going to San Francisco
confident that the conference vii,
be able to agree upon a charter for
an effective international organiza-
ton for peace and security which
will fulfill the high hopes of the
millions of peace-loving peoples of
this country and the world"
President Truman, meanwhile,
was being urged to delay a meeting
with the heads of major Allied
states until the San Francisco Con-
ference has acted on the peace or
ganization.
Although Mr.. Truman said at his
first news conference yesterday that
he would be very happy to talk soon
with other members of the Big Five,
many in Washington felt that any

Unfortunate Blunder

The American Legion has admirable and ambitious postwar plans for assist ing returned veterans and for intenSi- flying and .inceraSing it's Americanism activities. And it is unforunote that one of the Legion posts appears to have taken a step, presumbaly in the name of Amer icanism, that has aroused the resent ment of some of our fighting men.
 The Army newspaper Stars and Stripes carried story stating that the Legion Post in Hood River, Oregon, had advised Japanese-Americans there to sell their property and get out of town. The story came to the attention of First Army vet erans who had fought side by side with Japanese-American troops-one battalion of whom had been rescued from a Ger man trap by these Nisei soldiers - and the result was considerable indignation
 The Japanese-American situation has been botched up sufficiently in it's off cial handling without misguided private individuals or groups adding to it. The splendid record of the Nisei fighters who have gone from our concentration camps into the Army might well serve to remind overzealous Americans that skin pig mentation in itself is not badge of dis loyalty.

"Hold Your Horses"

Hearings will begin this month in Con- gresS on proposals for compulsory mili- tary training legislation. President Roosevelt favorS the passage of a uni verSal draft law this winter. Opposition 10 a military service act was expressed by Republican House Leader Joe Martin of Massachusetts. q don't think there's any reason to be stampeded into a hasty decision" Martin said. "A peacetime draft cannot become effective until after the war. Perhaps" he added, "the boys coming back will want to have some thing to say about it."
 In the opinion of Speaker Rayburn of Texas there is no necessity for speedy action on new legislation. There are sharp divisions in Washington over the issues stated above. One political school of thought believes that it would be un- necessary to have universal military training providing the United Nations establish permanent peace Still other groups insist that no matter how things go, that in time of peace we should pre- pare for war In the meantime farm youths have been ordered inducted
 It may be assumed that Congress will make thorough study of the recom- mendationS from the White House for universal peacetime draft law Neverthe- less there is practically no possibility of any legislation to settle this question be- fore the end of the wars. There is unan- imouS support in Congress in favor of fighting the present wars to complete finish. Despite the differences between the United States, Great Britain and Russia, it may be assumed that Washing ton remains confident that the Big Three and Allied Nations will compromise some of their disputes and establish an organization that will have permanent peace as it's objective. It will be backed by military forces with sufficient power to "stop the next world war before it begins"
 The House of Representatives started off, in defiance of the White House, and made the Dies Committee permanent. There is lot of disturbing and confusing news these days, but non one should over look the fact that the great motivating desire of the United Nations is to main- tain the peace. The charts were drawn by Woodrow Wilson, and the weak points developed in the interim between the first World War and the second World War. Other nations, as well as our own, are certain to profit by experience - and be reasonable.

'Presenteeism

The Army is reported to be considering a plan for honoring workers with unin- terrupted attendance records by award ing them pins for 'presenteesm". The plan was inaugurated by the B. F. Good rich Company of Akron, which recently presented pins to more than 400 workers who had not missed a days work since Pearl Harbor. Considering the prlde with which both management and work CTS wear the Army-NaVy E pins, it seems both just and psychologically sound to try out the Goodrich scheme generally.
 The country has deplored absenteeism, and made great efforts to combat 1t. Ana rightly so. But in doing so we have taken for granted those who have stayed on the job. Certainly this was no more than their duty, so long as health permitted But it is not to be wondered at that some of these faithful workers may have been a little resentful of being taken constant ly for granted. Some tangible form or appreciation is certainly due them,

Strength and Prestige

Since the invasion of Normandy the United States has borne the brunt of the war. The liberation of France, the inva- sion of Germany and the halting of Rundstedt's counteroffensive have been largely American jobs. We are fighting almost alone in the Far East, where Montbatten's long promised operations have never started Yet at this same time our political prestige has declined badly. Russia and Britain have gone their own way in redesigning Europe by the old, War-breeding patterns AnG lately Amer ican correspondents in London have re- ported a cooling of Anglo-American Friendship on the other side of the At lantic. According to them, the English people are beginning to disparage our war contribution, and point to our safe, comfortable wartime existence as reason why no American voice should be raised in criticism of British policy
 The influential English magazine, The Economist, has advocated Britain's play ing game of European politics according to Russian rules rather than gambling on promises of American postwar collab- oration. It has spoken scornfully of our "lofty, moral generalities" and our un- willingness to "get down in the dust of 0e dTeHh.
 Russian popular opinion is, of course, ehe governments, and favorable when American and Russian aims and opera tions coincide. It is a great misfortune that American infleunce should be de teriorating at a time when American strength and effort are at or near their peak. For it is most unlikely that when the common peril is past we shall com- Kt kait lxa respect that is potentially ours today. Part of this deterioration seems to result from attempts in some British and Rus sian quarters to distort the facts to excuse their own actions. There can be no seri- cus doubt of this country's eager willing ness to collaborate on new international security organization. Our lofty" moral generalities" have been necessary. But lt is true that our government has avoided "tbe dust of the arena too long. Perhaps our four months absorption in domes-

Waiting to Go!

A new industry has matured in this war, with future so fantaStically un- limited that it's full significance can scarcely be graSped. That industry is aviation, and particularly commercial air transport.
 The people of the United States who would almost rather travel than eat, even in normal times, are now, after several years of War-enforced confinement, nearly bursting with anxiety to start moving. As soon as conditions permit, they will hit the road for far away places on every thing that will carry them, from bicycles to airplaneS.
 The airplane hanks high in the public imagination as a meanS of seeing remote corners of the world. And no wonder! Approximately 100000 route miles have been flown in the service of the nation by passenger and cargo planes operated by personnel of the Air Transport Command and the Naval Air Transport service. No lonely Pacific iSlet, no SWeat-drenched African landing strip, no ragged Hima- layan peak has failed to see, in ever ln- creasing numbers, the transports carry ing men and supplies from America to every quarter of the globe. These opera tionS have been carried on against a background of airline experience and with the help of airline pilots. When the war is over, worldwide military supply lines will become worldwide airWayS for the passengers and cargoes of peace.
 Planes are on drawing boards or in the process of construction that should for ever silence the pessimists who claim that the age of adventure and new frontiers is over. We have hardly begun to push back the frontiers, fact that Americans are going to find out for themselves when they can start travelling again.

cause Just as quickly as they start to enjoy something. the shadow of themselves falls across the situa. tion and turns good cheer into gloom.
 Healthy-minded people are those who have learned to look out rather than to look in. These are called "extroverts." Their interests are all outside themselves. They seldom brood. They have a never-dying in- terest in others and a wonderful capacity to interest themselves la the affairs - and especially in the problems and troubles-of others.

tic interests before the November elec- tionS, though it provided a shining ex- ample of democratic freedom in wartime, injured the cause of future peace.
 During the campaign, policies contrary to our desires and beliefs took shape in Europe. And when the new Secretary of State finally made tentative move to remonstrate, the newShapes had hardened in the mold. There was nothing for us to do then that would not have damaged Allied military unity. Whether we like them or not, present arrangements in Poland and Greece, the Balkans and the Baltic States and Italy will have to be accepted. But at least we may hope that our government will lose no more time, while our strength is at it's height, in mak- ing known more specific policies and in taking the lead to continue the course that was charted at Dumbarton Oaks.

HINTS FOR EXPECTANT
 FATHERS

Nowadays one might infer from the letters they write that the chief concern of the eXpectant father is She selection of specialist. When was a prospective father we had little use for specialists and we had no difficulty at all about engage ing the best doctor in town-in fact we had engaged him about three years before the baby was borr. It was easy to make the choice, for I was he. And considering the cir- cumStance that I had to contend with no less than three trained nurses-two of 'em relatives - I'll say the doctor did well enough. There was one tense moment when one of the trained nurses, presum- ing upon her connection with the family. demanded that we send at once for blankety- -blanked spec ialist she knew far far away. We compromised by calling a local col- league of mine in consultation - and he proved a stout fellow. He sized up the situation, and we re- tired to my private office to con- suit. When we were shut in there together the doctor summed up succinctly. Brady" he said, damn the women" From that moment everything went all riglN. But confess the women nearly got me. l learned my lesson the hard way: A doctor should never attempt to treat a member of his own family. What is the sense, the old Wom- en and fishwives are likely to ask the young prospective mother if | they get chance at her, what is the sense of running to a doctor at this early stage? We'll tell you what to do.
 This is precisely where the young expectant father takes hand-if he is a man and not rat.
 It is never too early to have proper medical instruction and ad- vice, never too early for the man or for the woman. The expectant mother should visit her doctor as soon as she knows or believes she is going to have baby, and her husband should go along with her and listen as carefully as she does to the doctors advice. Then he should see that the doctors advice is followed and no ones else.
 A little knowledge is not only dangerous but often frightening, where a reasonable knowledge may bring a good deal of comfort and assurance. This surely applies to the baby business from the very be- ginning. Every expectant father should try to learn along with his wife, enough embryology (study of development before birth) to realize the absurdity Of most flshwife yarns about marking" it for no other purpose. One good source of such knowledge is Gray's Anatomy, which of course is available in ev- cry public library.
 A recent book which might well be required reading for expectant parents is Childbirth Without Fear by Grantly Dick Read, M. A., M. S.. published by Harber & Bros, New York, "A. This, too, should be available in the public library.
