Senate Will Get Full Report On Peace Conference

SAN FRANCISCO, June p - (R-The United States Senate, with power enough to promote or kill the United Nations Peace Or ganization will get full report of the San Francisco Conference next week.
 Two of it's members, who are American delegates, express con- fidence that the Senate will ratify the charter organization which they and the representatives of forty-nine other nations have pro- duced here after nine weeks work, but they would not predict it would be done immediately.
 President Truman will report it at the Big Three meeting in Der lin. In fact it appeared certain the Senate committee hearings pre- liminary to the ratification debate couldn't begin until the second week in July, when detailed re- ports on the conference debates become available.

Legion Juniors Made Available
To Ease Pro BusebuII's Woes

y In order to prevent indiscriminate

day. The February date to start
signing players, he explained, was
to give all professional clubs ample
notice"
June was set as the deadline be-
cause American Legion rosters are
completed on that date and no play
ers may be signed once their Legion
clubs are established for the season
O'Connor said.
Big Help, Harridge Says.
Will Harridge, president of the
American League, described the ac-
ton as "a move in the right direction
to carry on without interfering with
the war effort.
1t will permit minors to sell their
best players to the major leagues
and fill in with teen-aged stars, Har-
ridge said. There are even some
big league clubs that would be
anxious to get some of those Ameri.
can Legion kids" he added.
IF we just can keep enough
youngsters moving in to fill the
gaps left when 4-Fs are taken, the

Baseball Gar Choice
Unlikely as Majors
Meet Next Month
BY the Associated Press,


CHICAGO, Jan. 20.-The odds
appear strongly against selection OF
a successor to the late K. M. Lands
at the joint meeting of the major
league baseball owners in New York
February 8 and also against closing
nominations for a new commits
sioner at an early date.
That's the feeling out where the
big-league West begins and where
recent open letter by Warren
Giles of the Cincinnati Reds calling
for a new commissioner from be-
yond the baseball ranks was ia
vorably received.
Besides, any maneuvering for an
election at the forthcoming parley
seems forestalled by the fact that
method of selection has to be
worked out in the new major
league agreement, consideration o1
which is the prime purpose of the
meeting.
If the club owners follow the
suggestion by Giles to name a
maj -domo not connected with
baseball, the selection of a com.
missioner may be deferred until
after the war.
One spokesman, who asked ano.
nymity. took the view that most ol
the prospective candidates fitting

with war activity and would no
be available until the war ends

came back not like the prodigal son, but
like conquerer. And he approaches

Of expediency; If he cannot win with

do the big businessmen like him very
