PARIS, May 10.-The Paris police have arrested Gen. Maxine Wey- gand on a warrant issued by the French High Court of Justice. The General, who was in command of all French armies when the Repub- lie surrendered to Germany, was rescued recently from a German prison camp.

 Another Frenchman, well known to the United States. has been ar rested. Paris police last night placed Jean Borotra, the former tennis champion, under arrest in his home.
 Borotra served as head of the French Department of Sports under the Vichy Government.

 Victorious Russian troops par aded through the city amid the wild acclaim of the populace, which lost 5000 casualties, by Czech account, in the last-ditch bitter three-day battle with the Nazis.
 The refugee-crowded city - last European capital to be liberated erupted into mad outburst of relief and joy after the first re- connaissance elements of the Soviet Army had raced into Prague from the northwest at a. m, after a 35-mile overnight sprint.

SUPERF0RTS MAKE BIG SMASH ON JAPAN
PRACTICAL LINES FOLLOWED IN BOY
 SCOUT TRAINING

What are you helping Boy Scout to learn when you make your in vestment in him through your con- tribution this week to the annual Boy and Girl Scout drive?
 c. L. Wingerson, Boy Scout Con- missioner, stresses the vocational guidance which plays such an i'm portant part in the boys program Working for his merit badge from the 150 possible choices helps the Scout to find himself and deter mine upon field which often proves to be his life work. The fact that each Scout earns several badges also provides him with an opportunity to choose between interests based upon his actual participation in the field.
 MT. Wingerson chose at random a few of the 150 badge activities so that friends of the boys might get better picture of Scouting: aero nautics, airpiane design, airplane structure, angling, archery, archi- lecture, art, astronomy and athlet- ics.
 Bird study, blacksmithing, book binding, botany, bugling, business camping, canoeing, carpentry and cement work are a few of the other examples at the beginning of the al- phabet.
 Another question asked MT. Wing erson was What does a boy have to do to earn one of these badges?"
 After explaining the difference in the difficulty and extent of require ment between that for tenderfoot and for Senior Scout he sighted as an example the work which boy must do to obtain a carpentry badge
 To obtain this badge Scout must demonstrate the use of the rule square, level, plumbline, mitre, chalk line and bevel He must demons trate the proper way to drive, set and clinch nail, draw spike with a w-hammer, and to join two pieces of wood with screws.
 He must show the correct use of the cross-cut saw and of the rip saw; show how to plane the edge and the board surface of board He must demonstrate how to lay shingles and he must make simple article of furniture for practical use in the home or on the home grounds finished in a workmanlike manner all work to be done without assis- tance.
 In connection with the Boy and Girl Scout finance drive, Mrs. Jose phine Boyd, general chairman, will be at the Baranof Hotel tomorrow from 12 o'clock to 1:30 o'clock, where solicitors may contact her to report results from their efforts to date.

SAN FRANCISCO-Here's what happened behind the scenes when Molotov dropped his bombshell re- garding the mysterious disappear ance of l6 Polish leaders in Russia.
 Ever since mid-April both the British and American Embassies in Moscow have been trying to learn what had happened to the Polish Mission. When Molotov arrived here two weeks ago, Secretary of State Stettinius and Anthony Eden immediately asked him what hap pened to the Poles. Molotov saio he didn't know. The Anglo-Ameri- cans kept up the pressure and finally at an informal dinner o1 the Big Four" Stettinius spoke up and asked Molotov if he'd found out vet about the missing Poles.
 "Oh yes," replied Molotov, ! forgot to tell you. They were ar rested by the Red Army"
 What for?" asked Eden
 "We call it diversionist efforts against the Red Army" replied the Soviet Foreign Minister.
 But what are the real charges?' asked Stettinius.
 "Oh, those-they'll come out al the trials" answered MolotoN calmly continuing to eat.

'U.5.DELEGATE5 DIVIDED OVER
 ZONE NE(0NTR0L
Cuba Bids for More Voice Small Ndti0ns-Tr0uble
 Probe Gets Go Ahead
By John M. HightOwer Associated Press Correspondent

SAN FRANCISCO, May 10 - The United Nations Conference faced it's first big test today on small nation bid for greater voice in the proposed peace-enforcing Security Council.
 A Cuban proposal to enlarge the council from II to IA or Is na- tions was put forward in the con- ference committee charged with working out council membership and some who attended last nights session said vote probably would be taken today.
 The committee spent most of it's three-hour night session discussing the proposition. As the council plan now stands, it would include the Big Five" powers, plus six smaller ones.
 Seek Pan-Am Solution
 American delegates sought, mean while, for formula for fitting a Pan-American security system into world organization without split ting this organization into regional blocS.
 They recognized this problem of regional versus world security con- trol as one of the most critical facing the conference.
 It is especially acute for the United States delegation. Its mem- bers are divided on the issue, which is: shall the American Republics be on their own, or shall they be under control of the world organization, when they feel they must use force to suppress aggression in the Western Hemisphere?
 Latin Americans want the au- thority to act in the Western Hemisphere without waiting for world organization orders. To coun- ter this, it appeared likely that advocates of regionalism in other areas would call for similar au- thority for other zones.
 It is here that Anglo-American and some other officials see a danger of world-splitting blocs.
 Probe Power Approved
 This problem topped all others as delegates struck from the list of remaining conference issues the proposal backed by Senator Van denberg, Republican, Michigan, that the proposed assembly of nations should have power to probe trouble spots whenever and wherever they appear in the world.
 A conference committee approved last night this amendment to the Dumbarton Oaks Plan, which seems to promise easy sailing for it here- after.
 A committee on structures and procedures of the general assembly decided. last night to let each country have as many as five rep resentatives in the assembly but only one vote.
 Put over temporarily was the question of making countries other than the United Nations eligible for eventual membership in the assembly.

Cost to Russian 10 Save Country Estimated al
 12 to IS Million
By MATTHEW HALTON
 Canadian Broadcasting Company Correspondent, Representing the Combined Allied Press and Radi0.)

BERLIN, May 9 - CDelayed) -I heard today, from a source who certainly should know, an estimate of what it cost the Russians to save their country and come at last to this triumph in Berlin-between 12,000,000 and 15000,000 dead, of whom about half were soldiers and half civilians.
 There were times" said a Rus sian General, when we had to lose half a million men at time to save the army itself"
 These figures greatly exceed any previous estimate of Russian cas- ualties. In June, 1944, the Russians gave their last official announce ment of Soviet casualties-5,00 ,000, ,00C killed, missing and captured. Nc figures on wounded were given.
 In June, 1943, DNB official Ger man news agency, declared 20,- 100000 casualties had been in- flicted on the Russians. This figure presumably included dead wounded and captured.
 The Russians have given nc figure on civilian losses.
