As the dawn broke over Juneau this morning heralding the gala celebration of Navy Day. two tiny ships, dwarfed by the city's honor ary guests, the king sized Pana- mint, Charleston and Halford. slip ped noiselessly out of Juneau Har- bor.
 i Tonight as Navy Day festivities swing into full step, the men aboard the departing ships will be some- where in the gale-lashed waters be- | tween here and Ketchikan. Aboard are men-Navy men-who for the past Is months have been on sub marine duty in the Aleutians. l Many of them danced last night for the first time in nearly two years. They spoke of the almost forgotten goodness of sweet milk reveled in the entertainment offer ed by the awfully nice people in Juneau, and marveled at the big city look" of downtown hotels and shops They might have been any of the 1900 distinguished Navy Day guests of Juneac. But they weren't They were officers and crews Of two PCS's 1459 and 145l-Navy men who won't be celebrating Navy Day this year Orders sent them on thei1 way as the day of celebration dawn ed
 1 It sounds like very sad story. In a way it is. But there's a silver lining that makes missing Navy Day celebration-even in Juneau seem rather small peanuts, indeed.
 Both ships, carrying approximate ly six officers and 50 men each, are | flying red, white and blue banners that signify an even more full starred event than Navy Day. The [ banners, carefully and tenderly made by the signal man on each vessel are Going Home Banners. The one on the PCS 1459 is 55 feet long, a foot for each man who has been or the seas for at least year, and g foot for each month the ship has been at sea.
 The crafts, which arrived Thursday afternoon CPCS 1459) and yesterday morning PCS 145D, are headed fol Seattle from where they embarked 1 Is months ago.

 We enjoyed Juneau's pre-Navy Day party lot, said Ensign Gerogt Hotz of the PCS 1459, "and it seems shame to leave when the evenings still so young, but orders are orders. Perhaps we'll get back someday, added Ensign Barney Coe, Hotz shipmate and buddy. "Juneau's been fun and We won't forget the good time we had tonight. Wher we celebrate homecoming in Seattle we'll try to make up for the rest oi i the party we missed in Juneau"

The W ashington
 Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON - This columnist recently proposed that we begin thinking a little more about the Sermon on the Mount in our in- ternational relations, and among other things establish a Depart ment of Peace.
 It was suggested that along with the Department of War and the Navy Department, we set up as our first line of defense a Depart ment of Peace to promote the idea that the only alternative to the atom bomb is to teach the world and ourselves that we must get along with each other. This is the only alternative to war, because if there is another war, we face the end of civilization.
 One aftermath of this idea is significant It occurred in the Ap- propriations Committee of the House of Representative the other day when it's members voted ap- propriations for the State Depart ment.
 It happens that the nearest thing we have to a Department of Peace is the Department of State. That organization is by no means per- feet, and might not be ideal to operate a Department of Peace. But it's new chief, Jimmy Byrnes, has some good ideas and is. working hard to establish new bureaus for spreading goodwill and helping peace.
 He is trying to carry on the ideas of the Office of War Information which furnished propaganda to the newspapers. aimed toward a better understanding of the U.S.A. Byrnes is also trying to raise salaries. For years State Department officials have struggled along on starvation wages. This is partly the fault of the wealthy career clique which wanted to keep wages low and thus operate. a closed shop for them selves. So Secretary of State Byrnes is trying to raise diplomatic wages as the first step toward having alert diplomats guard the peace front.
 However, when Byrnes appro- priation bill got up before his old friends in Congress the other day the House Appropriations Commit tee slashed it to ribbons. They particularly cut the new agencies patterned on the general idea of a Department of Peace
 Worst knifer of Byrnes' peace front plans was Committee Chair man Clarence Cannon from Tru- mans home state, Missouri
 Meanwhile, the War and Navy Departments are still able to get just about all the money they want.

 PROGRAM
Discusses Atomic Bomb Keeping Nation Prepar- ed for Defense-0ther
 Issues in Address

NEW YORK. Oct. 27 Presi- dent Truman proclaimed to the world today a l2-point foreign policy based on the use of military power to preserve peace while planning to outlaw the atomic bomb
 Loss of faith in the effective ness of international organization" is the great threat to peace. he said Tn an atomic age it would be nothing short of disastrous"
 Until world cooperation reaches the state where atomic methods of destruction can be definitely and effectively outlawed forever" the United States will hold the weapon as sacred trust"
 He expressed willingness to ex- change fundamental scientific in- formation in talks with other na- tions which will begin soon, but reaffirmed
 These discussions will not be concerned with the processes of manufacturing the atomic bomb or any other instruments of war" First Overall Statement ] The Chief Executives first oves- all statement of foreign policy since he took office last April was made at Navy Day rally in Central Park.
 It came in the midst of intense diplomatic efforts to bring about better relations with Russia and few hours after disclosure that Generalissimo Stalin had received an undisclosed message from MT Truman through Ambassador w Averell Hartman.
 MT. Truman said differences which exist amony the Allies "are, not hopeless or irreconcilable."
 With possible view to condi- tions in the Balkans. however. he stated emphatically that the United States would refuse to recognize any government imposed upon any nation by the force of any foreign power"
 Powerfully Armed
 He set forth four purposes for which this nation must remain powerfully armed, To enforce the peace on defeated enemies. to sup port the United Nations. to defend the Western Hemisphere and to defend the United States.
 The atomic bomb makes the solu- tion of international problems more urgent than we could have dreamed six months ago. MT. Truman said, but it "does not alter the basic foreign policy of the United States"
 That policy he described as one of friendly partnership with all peaceful nations and of full sup port for the United Nations or ganization." He defined it in these l2 principles.
 l2 PRINCIPLES = No territorial expansion. no plans for aggression, no objective which need clash with the peace full aims of any other nation"
 2-Eventual return of sovereign rights and self-goyernment to all pee oles who have been deprived of them by force"
 3-No territorial changes invoiv- ing friendly peoples except with their freely expressed wishes Self govern m en for all peoples prepared for it without

Capture Not

Soviets Conceded Victory
On 2 Of 3 Major Demands
BY LYLE c. WILSON

San Francisco, April 27.-(UP)-
The Russians were conceded today
to have won two Of their first three
major demands on the United Ma
tons, but they have now dead
locked the World Security Confer
ence on the issue of major chair
manships.
1.-THE whole Craftsmanship thing
is in mess" an American delegate
sadly told the United Press.
Molotov apparently had wc,l on
the Russian demands for three
votes and for the right of veto
by major powers. The Polish ques-
ton was yet to come up.
The conference steering commit
tee has been summoned to meet
again at 1890 a. m, PVT Q:30
p. M, EWT) to seek compromise
on Russian objection to making
Secretary of State Edward r. Stet-
tinius, Jr., permanent conference
chairman.
Sharp Protests
Important American delegates
are protesting sharply the confer
ence management which permitted
deadlock to occur on the "rel-
atively unimportant matter of who
shall bang the gavel am where.
Soviet Foreign Minister v. M.
Molotov, however,, has objected Of
ficially to two proposals, the Unit
ed Press was informed.
The first was that Stettinius,
representing the host nation, be
permanent chairman of the con-
| ference itself. Molotov said the
craftsmanship should rotate among
China, Great Britain, the Soviet
Union and the United States, the
sponsoring nations.
The second proposal COM
promise effort-was that the con-
ference craftsmanship rotate but
that Stettinius be permanent chair
man of the powerful conference
executive committee Molotov
wanted that Craftsmanship to be
rotated, also, among the four pow
erS.
Sentiment appears to be strong
for making Stettinius permanent
presiding officer. Foreign dele
gates also were expressing surprise
today that the routine detail OF
who should preside had not been
determined in advance.
The Stalemate developed In yes
terday's meeting Of the conference
steering committee but was hushed
for few hours by the policy OF
secrecy imposed here, largely on
the motion of Stettinius himself.
steering committee battled three
hours over the Craftsmanship ques-
ton before adjourning in frustra-
ton until today.
The committee is composed OF
the chiefs of the As delegations.

5th 80 Miles
From Austria
BY HERBERT KING

Rome, April 81. - CUP - Amer
lean Fifth Army forces raced 40
miles In "a hours to capture Pia-
cenza, IS miles from Milan, and
drove into the Alps foothills within
80 miles of the Austrian frontier
today.
With the German defexlses col
lapsed completely and italian Pa
triots claiming control of much OF
northern Italy, the Fifth and
Eighth armies were advancing at
will.
Today's Allied Force Headquart-
ers communique said Fifth Army
forces were operating west of Lake
Garda, which runs from so to 81
miles south of the Austrian border.
This put the American units Is
miles west of their last reported
positions in that area at Verona.
Further gains also were made to-
ward the great port of Genoa,
which-like Milan and Turin-1tal-
ian patriots claimed to have liber-
ated.
The Partisan-controlled "Free
Genoa" radio reported that German
navy units in the harbor at Genoa
surrendered and 1900 Germans
were imprisoned.
The broadcast added that Genoa
had been freed by 1000 workers and
students forming what 1t called
the "Bisagno" and "Garibald1"
divisions.

lem doomed today as Senate Dem
ocratic members of the General AS
sembly's judiciary committee refused
to report favorably on the appoint

House Republican members of the
committee sent a favorable report
on nominations Of John H. Comley,
Stamford, and Attorney General
Francis A. Pallotti, Hartford, to the

members of the committee refused
to take action. 1t was expected that
after the nominations were approved
by the House and sent to the Sen
ate for confirmation, they would be
referred back to the Senate men,

Senate Democrats, led by Sen.
Leon Ris Cassi, Hartford, were re-
ported to be in no hurry to confirm
the major judgeships or other APP
pointmentS of the governor until
after bipartisan division of the
minor court judgeships is achieved.
Democrats were hoping for an even
split on the town court judgeships
now held by Republicans, and for
adoption of party legislation before
approving gubernatorial nomina-
