TODAY and TOMORROW
By WALTER LIPPMANN

mean to share that power over
the work Of the conference.
They are, of course, quite right
in thinking that in our practice
the chairman of convention or a
committee is not a mere neutral
presiding officer administering
parliamentary rules. He can ex-
ercise great influence over the con-
duct of the business itself: that is
why the choice of the chairman
is always regarded as very i'm
portant, and in national conven-
tons and in Congress has been
the occasion for many hard-fought
political battles. So, when M.
Molotov made an issue of the
Craftsmanship, he showed that he
is here for serious work and that
he means to be in on the ground
floor from the beginning.
His press conference made it no
less clear that the Soviet Union is
inside the conference and means
to stay inside. On the Polish ques-
ton, which was the main subject
of his interview with the press, M.
Molotov dispelled any notion that
he was going to let the conference
break up over it. On the contrary,
he appeared to say that the con-
ference would not be stalled be-
cause the Soviets insisted on seat
ing the unreconstructed Warsaw
government, but that, in recon-
structing that government, he ex-
pected the Soviet Interpretation
of the Yalta decision, rather than
that adopted by the British and
American Ambassadors in Moscow,
to prevail.
It would be very useful indeed
if the full story of what has hap
pened about the Polish govern
ment since Yalta could be made
known. For. it is quite clear that
the trouble has not been a matter
of the Anglo-Americans adhering
to the, Yalta agreement and tie
Soviets reneging on it. There have
been two interpretations, patent
misunderstanding, and almost GER
tain1y on both sides some consid-
cradle pressure to force the inter
probation against the spirit of the
Yalta agreement. Stain had Mol.
otov appear to have had the Red
generals and some Red izolation.

his name down. The morning I left
the company and was saying good
bye all around, I could sense that
he wanted to tell me something,
so / hung around until it came
out. It was about his daughter.
This Marine was Corp. Robert
Kingan of (243O Talbot Ave.) Guy
ahoga Falls, O. He has been a
marine for 10 months and over here
II months. His daughter was born
about six weeks ago. Naturally he
has never seen her, but he's had
a letter from her!
It was v letter written In a
childish scrawl and said: Hello,
Daddy, I am Karen Louise. I was
born Feb. Is at four minutes after
nine. I weigh five pounds and eight
ounces. Your daughter, Karen"
And then there was a PS on the
bottom which said:
Postmaster Please rush. My
Daddy doesn't know I am here"
Bob didn't know whether it was
actually his wife or his mother
in-law who wrote the letter. He
thinks maybe it as his mother
in-law-Mrs. A. H. Morgan-since
it had her return address on it.
So I put that down and then ask
ed Bob what his mother-in-law's
first name was. He looked off into
space for a moment, and ther
started laughing.
I don't know what her first name

her Mrs. Morgan!"

is to reinforce the guarantees
against a renewal of German az
gression, and the other is to see
to it that the world organization
does not set up a new Gordon sani-
taire against the Soviet Union. In
his mind, and I would say in any
objective mind in any country,
these two purposes are compile
mentary.
For if German aggression is to
be ended forever, the United Ma
tons must renounce any notion
that they are setting up an organ
ization here to police the Soviet
Union. To police the Soviet Union
they would have to restore Ger
many, first as a buffer and then
as spearhead. The Soviets are
deeply aware of this, and at the
bottom of all Soviet policy, of
all Soviet suspicion, there is the
powerful interests in the western
determination to counteract the
world which, thought they do not
avow it openly, have this purpose
in mind.

OKINAWA-by Navy radio) -
There is one very small marine
who is as nice as he can be,
always smiling and making some
crack. But the boys say that in
battle he doesn't give a damn for
anything.
The first afternoon I Joined his
company he didn't know who I
was and as we passed, he said very
respectfully, Good evening, Col
onel." I had to chuckle to myself.
Later he mentioned it and we
laughed about it and then he
started calling me Ernie.
He was Corp. Charles Bradshaw

campaign in the Pacific. He's had
three pieces of shrapnel in him at
various times and months later
they would work out through the
skin. Another one is just about
to come out his finger now.

SAN FRANCISCO.

M. Molotov has made it plain
that he has come to San Francisco
on serious business. Some who
were at the Crimean conference
had the impression that Stain
thought the Dumbarton Oaks plan
was important chiefly because
Roosevelt wanted it, and that, hav-
ing fortified itself by a veto, the
Soviet Union could 60 along with
Roosevelt in order to make it cas-
Ter for him to maintain the per-
sonal relationship of the Big Three
which had proved so successful
in waging wal. The fact that M.
Molotov had not originally intend
ed to come to San Francisco SEEM
ed to support this impression.
But after President Roosevelt
death, and possibly even before,
the Kremlin must have come to
the conclusion that Soviet rela-
tons with the western powers
could no longer be the personal
relations of three men. So, instead
of standing aloof from this confer
ence. M. Molotov has shown that
he believes the vital interests of his
country are very much involved.
He left no doubt about this at
the first meeting of the steering
committee, viii ', is to organize
the meeting; he confirmed it at
his press conference and in his
public address. He began by OBJ
jecting to the usual arrangement
by which the permanent chairman
is the chief delegate Of the country
in which the international confer
ence takes place. He asked in
stead that the office Of chairman
be filled not by one man, namely,
|Mr. Stettinius, but by a group OF
four men, one from each of the
sponsor nations, who would act as
corporate body In Soviet con-
stitutional practice, such a group
craftsmanship is known, believe,
as a presidium. The details OF M.
Molotov's proposal are not known
to me as write this dispatch, but
II am told that he asked that the
craftsmanship of all the corn
mittees should also be vested in a
presidium.
This is a most interesting, and
unexpected, development. What
ever the settlement, it shows how
intense and how practical is M.
Molotov's interest in the work OF
the conference. The objection tc
making Mr.. Stettinius the sole
permanent chairman is, of course,
not a personal matter at all. Nor
is it a matter of jealousy and ma
tional prestige: the Soviets have a
very clear idea of how great is the
power in our political life OF the
chairman of a national convention,
or of a presiding officer like the
Speaker of the House, and they

MANY KIDS TRY THEIR LUCK

About rs boys and girls were out
at the Kids Fishing Pond on No. 2
west of town bright and early Sun
day morning to cast their lines in
to the waters of Little Granite
Creek And there to supervise the
youngsters was VIM. Vaughn, who
has faithfully been there on opening
day of fishing season since the plan
was inaugurated. Mr.. Vaughn ex-
pressed his satisfaction at seeing so
many turn out for the contest spon-
sored by the Libby Rod and Cur
Club and individuals.
At IL o'clock noon, the follow
ing were awarded prizes in defense
stamps: Dixie Ann Hendrickson, ST,
first fish caught after legitimate
starting time of 8 a. M; Karen
thinner, $l.00, who was one year
old in April, was the youngest fish
erman: Roy Combest, $500. for
having the incest string of fish;
Jack Templin, $l.OO, second best
string; Donald Thomson, $500, for
having longest fish, which meas
ured Is inches. Cash donations of
$l.0O were made by Walt Kemp, Joe
Dunn and VIM. Vaughn, respective
ly: Clara Lou Boggess, best behaved
girl fisherman; Donna Allen, Sec
ond youngest fisherman; and Fran
CTS Thomson, youngster who evil
denced having fallen in the water
the deepest.
Following the awarding of the
prizes, Mr. Vaughn spoke to the
young fishermen advising them to
follow the rules as being told at
that time. Mr.. Vaughn said that no
one is to wait for the State Hatch
cry truck to dump the fish and i'm
mediately start fishing; no one is.
to catch their limit the first part
OF the day and take them to town,
then return to the pond and
catch their limit over again; no one
is to start fishing earlier in the day
than the state law permits; no small
fish are to be discarded because of
their size and left to waste.
Mr.. Vaughn also would like to
point out to parents of the chill
dren that when the rules specify
from 8 a. m. to IL noon, that they
should not be allowed to go out at
a. m. or a. m. as several did
this year. Such practices will cause
the closing of the pond to these
contests, and the state will not CO.
operate by permitting fish to be
dumped there. Those who were
fishing ahead of schedule this year
were disqualified and it was de-
cided by Mr.. Vaughn, only after
due consideration Of the fact that
this was their first offense, to re-
frain from printing their names in
the paper.

Injured Duck Is
Given Upper Bill
Insert Plastic Substitute in
Delicate Operation.

PEEKSKILL, N. Y.-The Peeks-
kill dental laboratory has as a guest
and patient duck to which pink
upper bill was affixed recently. The
bird, mallard from Lake Mitchell
in the Chauncey NJ. Depew memo
rial park, is as amazed as any hui
mans who have seen it, and squats
morosely in corner staring cross
eyed at its new adornment, and
quacking in a disgruntled manner.
Clayton Barger, park superintend-
ent, noticed on Monday that the
mallard was in distress, gyrating
wildly about the park lake and
squawking dismally. It was Tues
day before he could get close enough
to the bird to discover what was
wrong. Only the stump OF its upper
bill remained.
DR.. Robert Poritzky, dentist who
had heard about the unfortunate
duck, told the board of park COM
missioners he thought an upper bill
could be modelled of plastic and
cemented in place. If enough of the
stump OF the old bill remained, he
said, the mallard would be under no
greater handicap than human
being who relied on false teeth in
his upper jaw.
The board of park commissioners
told Mr.. Barger to catch the aff1ict-
ed duck and have the restoration
performed Mr. Barger is OF the
opinion that the most difficult part
OF the operation was assigned to
him. 1t took him and three other
men three days to catch the injured
duck. They took it to the dental
laboratory, where measurements
were made and new upper bill
modelled.
Pink plastic was used because it
happened to be handy. DR.. Poritz-
KY and Harry Ginberg, manager Of
the laboratory, painted the stub of
the ducks upper bill with silver
nitrate, affixed the pink bill with
germicidal cement and wired it
firmly in place with sutures of stain
less steel.
The duck submitted with exceed
ngly Ill grace and Waddled off to a
corner OF its pen in a huff when
the operation, was completed With
IN an hour or two, however, it was
consuming sodden bread with in
creasing interest, pausing in amaze
ment, however, at intervals during
the feeding period to stare at its
pink nose, which is transparent and
resembles the handle Of tooth
brush.

Million in Gems
Found on Beach
Fell From Wrecked Plane
OFF Australian Coast.

MELBOURNE, - A $1,000. 900
packet of diamonds, lost when a
plane flying from Java was shot
down by the Japanese off the Ats
tralian coast was found by an un-
identified beachcomber after official
searches failed, it was announced
here.
The diamonds were turned over to
authorities at northwestern town.
The beachcomber, who walked into
the town to enlist in the Australian
Imperial forces, said he found the
parcel while searching the beach for
sea food.
Destined for the Commonwealth
Bank of Australia, the parcel had
been handed to the pilot of one of
the last planes to take off from Java
after the japanese had landed on
the island early in March. AS it
neared the Australian coast, the
plane was attacked and shot down
by Japanese aircraft.
The pilot made a crash landing
near the beach, but the plane was
wrecked and partly submerged.
-Four members Of the crew we're
killed.
Forced to wait for many days be-
fore wandering natives rescued
them, the survivors searched among
the planes Wreckage, but couldn't
find the precious cargo. Later, an
official party returned to the scene,
but its search, too, was fruitless.
The beachcomber, whose reward
has not yet been determined, said
he found the parcel partially buried
in mud bank.
