vET0v0TING ISSUE HITS
 BIG SESSION
Conference of United Nd- lions Is Sta|emated on
 Troublesome Subject
By John M. Hightower

Associated Press Diplomatic News Editor)
 SAN FRANCISCO. June 4-The United States is seeking some way out of the conference stalemate on the veto voting issue. but without the slightest yielding on it's own insistence that there must be no veto on the right of discussion in world security council.
 If American leadership fails to break the deadlock--in which Rus sia is at odds with this country Britain, China and France on this one point--the United Nations Con- ference may produce wide-open floor fight in it's closing days.
 And even though the charter is approved as it now stands, it may be accepted by some countries only with reservations.
 Ambassador Andrei Gromyko has reported to Moscow that the other big powers would not accept his governments rigid interpretation of the veto-that it should apply even to preliminary discussion in the council. This puts the next move up to Moscow as to whether its interpretation may be softened.
 Another Big Five meeting was called for today, following one last night and two Saturday. Except for their differences of opinion over this one question the powers were reported making rapid progress to- ward resolving all other conference issues on which they are acting jointly.
 Questions other than the veto on which no agreement has been reached yet are final points in a plan for international trusteeships, changes in wording which the French are asking in provisions for special defense treaties against the enemy states of this war, whether the proposed assembly of all United Nations should have the right to discuss any international situation rather than just peace and security questions, and whether the veto vote should apply to charter amendments.

SMALL BUSINESS NEEDS
 ARE EMPHASIZED
Small Plants Head Chides
 Nation for Overlook ing Opportunities

WASHINGTON, June 4-"Alaska should be conservatively developed from an economic viewpoint" thinks Maury Maverick, Chairman Hof the Smaller War Plants Cor poration.
 Tt simply is not smart for the .nation to overlook the opportuni- ties which Alaska affords" Maver- lick told the House Appropriations Sub-C Committee studying his l946 budget requests.
 Alaska is no huge land of promise and has it's limitations" he added. T feel we have been derelict in neglecting the small business interests in Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico; we should make them self-supporting and develop small businesses in those places. .'
 The corporation, he said, has been planning a small field office in Alaska, with about 10 persons who would develop a table of small business needs for the territory He declared that small business in Alaska is in a bad shape" with "two heavy monopolies, the fish, cries and the mining monopolies' there.

CHURCHILL WILL
 TELL OF BRITISH
 TERMS ON SYRIA
Affairs in Leydnt Still in Critical State- -AttaCks
 Are Feared

LONDON, June 4 The Daily Mail said today that Prime Min ister Churchill would make a state ment in the House of Commons this week defining in clearest terms" the attitude of the British Government on the situation in Syria.
 Damascus dispatches indicated that affairs in the Levant still were in a critical state, and British troops were kept constantly on the alert protecting the French in their barracks.
 Gen. Charles de Gaulle's proposal for an international conference to settle all Arab problems appeared to have done little to ease British French tension. The London press chorused protest over the 2 de Gaulie charge that British agents fomented agitation against Frances Levantine interests.
 French troops and families under British protection in Syrian towns were being evacuated, Damascus dispatch said last night.
 In Kuneitra, south of Damascus, 4000 Bedouins of the Fadel Tribe wanted to attack French barracks, at Hama other Bedouins kept the British alert. At Derra and Soueida the French were taken out under armored guard.

 From Entry by Miners

ANCHORAGE, Alaska. June A. Withdrawal of l05,375 square miles of Alaska from entry by prospectors and miners. under an order of h. terior Secretary Ickes published in February l943, became generally known here only this week when Bill Hammersley, of the Iliamna country, came to town for the first time in three years and found the order stymied his mining claim de- velopment.
 The Anchorage Times said the withdrawal also makes uncertain the status of copper claims recently purchased by Canadian Ventures, Ltd.
 The order. invoked as war measure, affects three great tracts of public handsome comprising nearly all the Alaska Peninsula, {, another eliminating the Chugach Mountain area east of Cordova to Canada, and the third including the Arctic rim north of the Brooks Range and all the way across the territory.

 RESIGNATION
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON, June 4-Ber Thoron, for many years head of the Interior Departments Division ol Territories and Island Possessions has submitted his resignation to Sec retary Ickes, effective shortly Be- hind this is the growing importance of the insular possessions of the United States and the fact that Sec retary Ickes has felt the impor- tance of strengthening the Divis- ion which administers them.
 With the end of the war, the United States will take over active control of several thousand islands in the mid-Pacific, including the Carolines, the Marshalls, and islands much closer to Japan, such as Ok inawa and Two Jima. Prior tc the war, the Territories and Island Possessions Division had only to dc with the Philippines, Puerto Rico the Virgin Islands. Hawaii, Alaska and Samoa; but, with the end of the war, it will become one of the most important divisions in the Govern ment.
 Many complicated problems con front the Government in the hand Hing of these island possessions Some of them are now being discuss cd at San Francisco; namely whether island natives will be able to de- velop their ambitions for indepen- dence, and to what extent the United States will keep military and naval bases on them. Equally important especially from the Interior Depart ments point of view, is the econ- omic outlook. Most of these islands are not economically self-support- ing. And, like the Virgin Islands they will probably have to be sub- sidized unless native industries can be developed.
 Secretary Ickes has discussed with Laurence Duggan, former Political Adviser on Latin American Affairs to Secretary Hull, the possibility oi his assuming Thoron's post as Dir ector of the Division of Territories and Island Possessions.

American infantrymen splashed two miles through drench- ing rains yesterday to the south- eastern shore of the island, sealing off Chinen Peninsula which forms the southern arm of the finest fleet anchorage in the southern ap- breaches to Japan.

Propdgdndisfs Get Busy on New Stunt by Death
 Defying Pilots

SAN FRANCISCO, June 4-Japa- nese propagandists predicted today the United States would be at tackled in the near future, by bombcarrying stratosphere balloons manned by death defying Japanese pilots"
 The broadcast, by Japanese Domei News Agency and recorded by the Federal Communications Commission, said It. Col. Nakajima, propaganda spokesman of the Nip ponese Army Air Forces, made the prediction.
 Nakajima said the pilotless bal loon attacks, recently disclosed by . the U. S. Army, were launched against America last March 10, Japanese Army Day, and that hun dreds of them had been released from Japan every day since.
 "The spokesman pointed out" Domei added, that thus far these attacks have been on an experi- mental scale and he predicted that when actual results of the experi- ment have been obtained, large scale attacks with death defying airmen manning the balloons will be launched
 "The balloon bomb is one of Japan's unique originations and it is especially significant in that by the use of this method of bombing we can attack the enemy mainland directly from Japan - something that the enemy cannot boast of y
 Nakajima complained that United States officials in releasing infor- nation about the balloons did not divulge the extent of damage caused by the bombs"
 But we can surmise,' he added That they are creating great havoc in the enemy country"

 WASHINGTON-It has now been a littlA over one month since the American Ninth Army paused on the outskirts of Berlin to let the Red Army, hammer its way into Hitler's capital. Since then, no AL lied mission has gone into Berlin despite the Yalta Agreement pro yiding for a token force of Ameri- can troops in Berlin and the gov erning of Germany by an Allied Mission of British, American, Rus sian, and later, French Generals.
 Failure to set up this Allied Mission inside Berlin generally has been blamed on the Russians. How ever. this column is now able to throw important light on all the facts.
 Though Stalin did object to Am erican troops entering Berlin ahead of the Red Army (Russian capture of Berlin was agreed on at Yalta) actually U. s. officials have been largely responsible for the delay In sending subsequent token force into Berlin and setting up Allied headouarters to govern Germany.
 If you ask the War Department about this, you will get evasive, sawdust-in- -the-eye answers. But actually three reasons have de- yeloped for U. s. hesitation over entering Berlin. They are:
