stacks up pretty well"

yancement will be held by troop
committees for Scouts up to Life

plication of a recent U. S.
supreme court ruling that states
need not recognize Nevada divorces,
Superior Judge Alfred L. Bartlett
Tuesday invalidated a Las Vegas,

Mrs. Helen NJ Frimel was granted
a divorce and s160 mcnthly alimony
on Judge Bartlett's ruling that
Frimel's Nevada residence was not
bona fide. Mrs. Frimel's suit was
pending here when her husband OBJ
tanned the Nevada decree.
Frimel maintained he went to
Nevada for his health and not just
for the divorce.

PEACE MEET STRUGGLES OVER VETO POWER
Churchill Gets
Call To Speed
Trials Of Nazis
Premier Hints Allies
Favor Action by
Military Authorities

LONDON, May 20. (UP)
80 Prime Minister Churchill,
answering demands in COM
mons for a speedup in the
punishment of Axis war criminals,
said Tuesday that the big powers
were inclining toward assigning the
trials to interallied military tri-
bunals.
Churchill announced that Attor-
ney General Sir David Maxwell
F'yfe had been appointed United
Kingdom criminals prosecutor to
work with Robert Jackson. the
American representative. Russia
and France have not yet named
representatives, he said.
Commons met Tuesday for the
first time since the laborites broke
away from the wartime coalition
government. The reorganization of
the cabinet left the laborites free
to heckle Churchill at will. and they
took advantage of the opportunity.
FACES LABORITES' BARBS
Labcrites fired some of their
sharpest darts at Churchill en- the
matter of how soon war criminals
would be brought to justice. He re-
fused to be disturbed, however, and
insisted that the trials ought not
to be proceeded with until they are
properly arranged and method
agreed upon between the great
powers"
Dealing with other matters dur
ing the question fpur in commons,
Churchill:
l. Sidestepped request for con-
firmatien or denial of reports that
Russia is moving German men into
the Soviet Unicn to rebuild war
destroyed cities.
2. Said the Allied reparationr
commission still intends to meet in
Moscow as agreed at the Crimea
conference.
3. Said the United Kingdom is
making no effort to enlarge it's
boundaries as a result of the war.

-bl2 powers on their Interpretation
Of the veto power contemplated un-
der Yalta formula. But an Ameri-
can delegation spokesman explained
that the session had been requested
by the French delegation to discuss
a matter not involving the veto
question.
WOULD ALTER CLAUSE
1t was learned from other sources
that the French sought to change
a clause in the proposed world or
ganiZation charter covering bi-lat-
eral treaties for defensive action
against enemy countries, such as
the Franco-Russian treaty. AS it
now stands, the charter would pro-
vide that such treaties could be
subordinated to the world organiza-
ton ''by consent" of the signatory
powers. France would change that
to "at the request of" the signator-
\ les.
But the parley- moved nearer its
final stage on another front when
it was announced that the commits
sion on the general assembly viii
hold an open hearing Wednesday.
Open sessions of the four commits
sions-the ma ior units into which
the conference is divided-will mark
the next-to-the-last step Of con-
ference deliberations. Commission
decisions must be ratified by plen-
ary sessions of the full conference
but this is expected 20 be merely
a formality.
MEETING DELAYED
The open commission hearings
originally were slated to start Mon
Gay but like most Of the conferences
work, they were delayed by unex-
pectedly- prolonged disputes over
several issues.
Battle lines already were drawn
for a bitter public debate between
the big and little nations over the
Yalta formula.
Tempers in some quarters Of both
sides were getting short-over both
the issue Of the big power veto in
peaceful settlements of disputes and
the big power delay in letting the
conference start work on it.
The final decision on the voting
formula is expected to be in line
with what the big powers want.
Even the most bitter opponents Of
the plan ADMIT that the little pow
ers will not use their plentiful votes
to defeat the Big Five on such a
basic issue. But before they ac-

FIRST BIG RAID
The raid was the first in strength
on Yokohama, a modern city of 72
square miles packed with shipyards,
motor vehicle plants, steel plants
and assorted aircraft, rubber, radio
and petroleum works.
Bombs were aimed at three main
areas, Yokohama harbor with its
docks and breakwaters; the modern
commercial and residential sections
to the southeast. and the northeast
district, where numerous war plants
lie on reclaimed land jutting out
into Tokyo bay.
Among the plants in the north

Ninety per cent Of the worlds

quires tin.
Many Ypsilanti people saw the

cent Fourth OF July demonstration

show. Each flame thrower requires
the tin from 23 cans.
The last collection in April was

bership so that general city-wide
cooperation may result.

Washington, July 30-INS-Brig.
Gen. Elliott Roosevelt, second son
OF the late President, has asked for
release from active duty in the
Army Air Forces, 1t was disclosed
today.
Gen. H. H Arnold, commanding
general OF the AAF. revealed that
the request has been filed, but no
action has been taken.
Roosevelt's financial transactions
involving the settlement OF several
huge loans have been under inves-
tigation by the House Ways and
Means Committee and the Senate
Finance Committee.
A 100000 loan from John Hart
ford, president OF the Great Allan.
tice and Pacific Tea Company. in
1889 which was settled for $4,000 in
1943 was revealed seven weeks
ago.
Probe Transactions
The two congressional commit
tees have been probing Roosevelt's
financial transactions to determine
whether any tax violations were in
volved.
Roosevelt, who is now at the
family home on the Hudson River
near Hyde Park, N. Y, has accu-
mulated 27S points toward dis
charge during five years of Army
service.
Made Captain
Roosevelt was commissioned a
captain in the specialist reserve on
Oct. 7, 1910, serving at Wright
Field, Dayton, Ohio. On Aug. 25,
1912. he was appointed commander
of the third Photographic group in
North Africa.
After a tour at Washington AAF
headquarters he was detailed on
Feb. II, 1914 to Eighth Air Force
headquarters in England, and sub
sequently served as commanding
officer Of a reconnaissance wing.
His last assignment was at Wash
