VETO ON 0pA'5 FOODS PRICING
 E AGREED TO
Agriculture Secretary Is fo Have Overall Control
 Over Farm Wares

WASHINGTON, June 27-Con- gressional conferees reached com- plete agreement today on price control legislation which passed the House and Senate in widely diff ferent forms.
 The agreement included a com- promise arrangement giving the Secretary of Agriculture veto power over OPA food pricing.
 The House had voted a plan to give the Secretary overall stab- ilization controls over food and agricultural commodities.
 Senator Wagner tD-N. Y), head of the Senate conference group, said the compromise in conference would prevent Economic Stabilizer William H. Davis from approving any Office of Price Administration order relating to pricing of food products or farm commodities, in- cluding wool and cotton, without prior written approval of the new Secretary of Agriculture, Clinton Anderson.
 The legislation extends price con- trols for another year.

 SOME FOODS
 |S REPORTED
Problem Has Many Large Cities WorrYing-Meat
 Situation Is Bad
(By Associated Press)

Mounting shortages of granulated sugar, margarine, lard and some canned fruits and vegetables are accentuating the food problem ln large cities of the United States.
 Coupled with this is worsening meat situation. A monthly survey of independent grocers in 56 large cities found four out of 10 stores even without frankfurters and bologna.
 Meat shortages were more wide spread among the different regions during June than in preceding months. There were scattered re- ports of meat markets and restaur- ants closing and of increased cattle and chicken thefts.
 And bakery products may become scarce Philadelphia, for example reported hundreds of bakeries cur tailing production because of sugar shortages.
 Reflecting the acute meat situa- tion, Michican county and state police reported increasing cattle ano chicken thefts.
 At Houston, Texas, nearly 1,00C meat markets were closed yesterday for the second day of what the op- orators described as a protest against over ceiling wholesale prices and tie-in sales.

LONDON, June 27.-A Japanese military commentator declared today in a Tokyo broadcast that every body in Japan is talking of invasion, everybody is theorizing about it."
 The American plans seems to be first to shatter systematically all Japanese industrial centers and large cities and then. having completely paralyzed our industrial power, to launch their final attack, the com mentator said
 Speculating on the possibility that American forces might attempt a landing in China before attacking the Japanese homeland, the broad caster said the Japanese General Staff "can assure the nation that Japanese forces are in complete con- trol of the China coast

 TAKEN FOR
 REAL PEACE
Urgent Plea Made for Quick Approval by All
 50 Nations Involved
By John M. Hightower Press Diplomatic News Editor)

SAN FRANCISCO, June 27.-A movement to win the quickest possi- ble ratification for the United Ma tions charter grew among confer ence delegates today. It was spurred on by President Trumans' urgent plea to make the new world peace plan "a living thing"
 The Chief Executive himself, after making the final address of the g. week conference yesterday. is en route to Washington, by way of his home at Independence, Missouri, to carry the Charter formally and per- sonally before the Senate next Mon- day.
 q am sure,'' he told the delegates of 50 nations here. that the over wheming sentiment of the people of my country and of their represen- tatives in the Senate is in favor ofsimmediate ratification.
 An associated Press poll which reached 26 of the delegations show cd that 20 of the 26 expect their nations to ratify the Charter this year.
 Drive to Ratify
 Before the Presidents appear ance two Americans of the Ameri- can delegation will open the drive for quick ratification. Chairman Connally CD-Texas) of the Foreign Relations Committee, and Senator Vandenberg CR-Michigan) left by plane last night to return directly to the Capital Connally will report to the Senate Thursday and Van denberg will speak on Friday.
 Secretary of State Stettinius also left for Washington with top State Department officials last night. Ahead of him is the task of leading the array of witnesses on world or ganization who will appear before the Senate Foreign Relations Com mittee.
 Permanent Headquarters
 Stettinius left Leo Pasvolsky, an assistant and ranking American ex- pert on the United Nations organiza- tion, here to attend an organization meeting of the United Nations pre- paratory commission today. This commission, including representa- tives of all 50 nations, will have its regular headquarters in London, will prepare for the creation of the United Nations organization and recommend a site for permanent headquarters.

MELBOURNE, June 27.-Japanese attempting to kill General Sir Thomas Blamey and his senior off, cers on a Borneo beach Sunday night infiltrated to within 20 feet of the tent in which the Australian Army Comman6er-in-Chief was conferring with his Staff, the Army reported.
 The Army believed it a planned attempt to kill Blamey rather than chance selection of a track so near his tent.
 Guards, surrounding the infiltrat- ing Japanese, waited until the en- emy began to move along the track, allowing them to come within few yards before opening fire with rifles. Two Japanese were killed and the others fled.

 The Association petitioned 'the Honorable Harry S. Truman, Presi- dent of the United States, and the Honorable William L.

 It described the national unity Government agreed on in Moscow as "a self-appointed political body composed of Communists and for eign agents"

Truman Declares Great Instrument for Peace, Security, Been Created
 AiUnited Nations Meei

SAN FRANCISCO, June 27.-Pres- ident Truman brought an historic assemblage of 50 United Nations to close yesterday with the declara- ton that it had created a great instrument for peace and security and human progress in the world
 But now the world must use it, the President said, otherwise.
 We shall betray all those who have died in order that we might meet here in freedom and saf- ety to create it."
 AS Chief Executive of the United States, he promised that the Char ter of a new world organization dedi- cated to preservation of peace will be sent to the Senate "at once" " Likewise, he urged speedy ratifica- tion by other nations.
 T am sure" MT. Truman told statesmen of 50 nations gathered in San Francisco's War Memorial opera house, That the overwhelming sem timent of the people of my country and of their representatives in the Senate is in favor of immediate rati- fication."
 Purpose of Charter
 Throughout his address ran the theme that the Charter of the new World League is only an instrument, a machine that was built from uni versal desires that never again shall the world be engulfed in war. It isn't perfect, MT. Truman said, and there must be a will among nations to use it well. But like the Ameri- can Constitution, the President as- serted, it can be improved through the years.
 Upon all of us, in all our coun- tries,' the President said, lis now laid the duty of transforming into

5TETTINIU5 TO. REPRESENT US AT PEACE BAR
Successor to Resigned State Secretary 10 Be
 Named Next Week
By ERNEST B. vACCARO

INDEPENDENCE, Mo, tune 27- President Truman announced to- day he had accepted the resigna- tion of Edward R. Stettinius, Jr. as Secretary of State, and was appointing him as American rep resentative on the Postwar Se- curity Council and Chairman of the United States delegation in its General Assembly.
 The President announced he would appoint successor to Stet- tinius as state secretary next Mon- day or Tuesday, but laughed off attempts of reporters to make him say it would be James F. Byrnes of South Carolina.
 He said Stettinius had accepted the offer of the job as United States representative in the Lea que of United Nations projected under the peace charter he steered through to approval at San Fran cisco.
 Highest Post
 The President said it is the high est post in the gift of the Gov ernment, and he didn't see how anyone could refuse it.
 In a lengthy prepared statement read to a news conference in his home town here, the President announced he was accepting the resignation of Stettinius submitted the day after former President Roosevelt's death, but which he refused at the time.
 The statement, in the form of a letter to Stettinius, asserted that he had asked him to stay on at that time to carry out a vitally important role as Chairman of the United States delegation at the United Nations Conference.
 You accepted that responsibil- ity," the President wrote. Tt was very grave responsibility" He added
 "The San Francisco Conference has now fulfilled it's purpose. The charter of a permanent United Na- tions has been written. You have every reason to be proud of your part in this achievement from the beginning"
 Not to Attend Meet
 The Presidents letter disclosed that he had reluctantly agreed to Stettinius' suggestion that he not accompany the President to the "big three" meeting near Ber- lin, which the President said twill take place next month"
 Under questioning, the President said that Byrnes. former Senator War Mobilizer and Supreme Court Justice, will attend the "big three meeting as earlier announced.
 Will MT. Byrnes go in, a personal capacity?" the President was. asked He laughed and replied: MT Byrnes is going at my invitation.
 The President said he would fly back to Washington Sunday, ar- irving there at m. (Eastern war time) if the sacred cow' stays in the air, using the humorous name for the big C-54, luxury plane in which he has toured the country during the past several days.

PEOPLE
 MARRIED, PROXY

HOLLYWOOD, June 27.-A proxy marriage was performed in Mexico yesterday for film actress Merle Oberon and film camerman Lucien Keith Ballard while the two were at work on a movie set here
 Miss Oberon said her attorney arranged for the proxy wedding in Juarez because she and Ballard were unable to leave their work at this time.
 She obtained a divorce in Juarez June 4 from Alexander Korda, Brit ish film producer. whom she had married June 3, 1889, in France.
