The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-07-18

lot of fancy open-field running through all those Senate tackles, but Leo is an old hand at that. He has, in fact, been State Department quarterback for four long years, all through this international football game to win the peace.
 Leo in case you don't know, is Dr. Leo Pasvolsky.
 His title is only Special Assist ant" though he ranks as an Assist ant Secretary of State. The reason he doesn't hold that title is prob- ably because he was born in Rus sia. Even though he has lived in the United States for 40 of his 52 years and been an American citizen for 34 years, there was some doubt about getting the Senate to ratify the appointment of a Russian porn gent to the Little Cabinet"
 HE KNOWS THE ANSWERS
 No one doubts Leos loyalty to the United States and everyone recog- nizes his ability. Respect for .Leo's technical knowledge as historian and economist is tremendous, and growing all the time. He will prob ably go with Stettinius to wherever the United Nations Organization sets up shop. He has great future ahead of him in international re- lations. He knows the answers.
 He will never win any prizes in a handsome man contest, but once you him fnrnnf hiyS9 stands about five and half feet high and he weighs around 150. He used to weigh nearly 200. He is still round. His head is made to seem rounder by his lack of hair and by the two big round lenses of his thick horn-rim glasses. Above his mouth is narrow mustacheS. He smokes pipe, lot of pipes. almost in- cessantly. A quirk in the corners of his mouth and merry twinkle in his eyes make him look as though he had just put thumbtack up- side-down on the seat of the Secre- tary of States chair, then walked oil and left it. He is that puckish in appearance, but really the soul of dignity and oh so very, very shy.
 Pasvolsky has been in on every play of the world peace organiza- tion game since early in 1941, when Cordell Hull set him up as Chief of Division of Special Research" to be- gin planning how to prevent an- other world war. This was months before Pearl Harbor. But already it was apparent the United States would be drawn in eventually and at considerable cost. So, while every one else in the country was plan ming for war, Dr. Pasvolsky and the staff of some 50 scholars and ex- perts he assembled began planning for peace.
 WORLD SECURITY
 PLANS DRAWN
 By July of 1914 an American plan for a world security organization had been drawn up. With similar British, Chinese and Russian plans, to become the basis for Dumbarton Oaks discussion last Fall. They in turn became the basis for the San Francisco Charter.
 Pasvolsky was at Dumbarton Oaks as the U. S. technical expert. Speak ing Russian fluently, knowing the Russian ways of thinking, he was able to reconcile many differences. At San Francisco he was chairman of the Co-ordinating Committee, made up of the top technical ex- pert from each of the 5O-nation delegations. This Co-ordinating Committee had to review the work of all the drafting committees and commissions, take out the inconsis- tencieS, and then put the whole business into a workable document. No wonder he knows the answers and no wonder the senators turn to Leo for the detailed explanation of how this thing is going to work.
 In addition to his expert know ledge of the UNO Charter, pr. Pas- volsky is generally credited with having played leading part in the creation of the Economic and So- cial Council. At any rate, that is one of his pets. If the world is real- ly to maintain peace and security, he believes it must be done through the establishment of friendly and profitable trade relationships be- twaan all potinnc
