In the next few months without
relaxation of our war effort against
Japan.
"We now have 2,ssS.023 Federal
civilian employees in the United
States and on Armistioe Day, 1918,
the total was 975,000; in March,
1888, the number was 563, ,487. In
June, 1910, the number was 1909 800.
Therefore, today, we have over
three times as many Federal en-
ploye as we had at the conclusion
of World War I, and over five times
as many as in March, 1888. The
Federal payroll, after the new pay
bill becomes operative July /, will
reach the colossal sum of more than
$4,000, ,000, 900 annually"
The Virginian told the President
one of the most important and
pressing tasks" before him and Con-
gress was demobilization, as rapidly
as the war permits, of this gigantic
civilian Federal army"
He contended that the Federal

Conna|Iy Defends
Veto Power
In Plea for Action
Tells Senators Thot Poet
Is More Effective
Than Old League
By ]. A, O'LEARY.

Chairman Connally of the Sen
ate Foreign Relations, Committee
today called on the Senate to
give speedy approval" to the
United Nations Charter, describ-
ing it as a more effective in
strument than the old League of
Nations to preserve the peace of
the world.
Defending the veto power given to
the Big Five Allied powers, Senator
Connally predicted it seldom would
be employed.
The Texas Senator, who helped
write the Charter at San Francisco,
took the floor to give his colleagues
a preview of the historic document,
before the committee starts hear
ings probably next week. Senator
Vandenberg, Republican, of Michi-
gan will take the floor tomorrow to
give his summary of the agreement
and Of the hopes it holds for future
peace. Formal Senate debate is ex-
pected to start in mid-July.
Insists Veto Is Wise.
"An effort may be made to lead
our people to believe that the veto
Is in the Charter wholly because of
our Allies-that they alone de-
manded it," Senator Connally said.
Were the veto not in the Charter
what would some of the critics say?
Would they not use the argument
that American troops could be per-
mitted to combat in foreign lands
without the consent of the American
people?
"We must recognize that the
Yalta formula not only gives the
other great powers a veto over
military action; it gives the United
States of America that same veto. "
The rule of unanimous action by
the five permanent members of the
council was based on the thesis that
as long as the big powers remain
united they will be able to keep the
peace, Senator Connally pointed
out, and that if they should be
divided, they could not preserve
peace successfully. Continuing,
however, he argued:
"It must be borne in mind that
the mere existence of the veto does
not mean that it will be used fire.
quently. In all likelihood it will
seldom be employed. 1t is not be-
lieved that it will be exercised Ca
praciously or arbitrarily.
World Opinion a Lever.
"A recalcitrant member of the
Security Council would be faced
with the opinions of the four other
permanent members and perhaps
six non-permanent members. The
pressure of their views would create
la compelling world opinion that
would make it very difficult for a
single member of the Security Coun-
Gil alone to veto the peaceful set
tlement of a dispute"

Five Vessels Sunk or
Damaged in Forthest
Western Attack
By the Associated Press.

BY tne Associated PreSS.
ADAK, Aleutians, June 26 (De-
layed) "A North Pacific task
force sank or damaged the five
ships of a Japanese convoy in
the Sea of Okhotsk in the sub
Arctic dawn today.
This was the first task force raid
so far west in the North Pacific.
Light forces have bombarded both
ParamuShiro and Matsuwa Islands
Of the Kuriles in hit-and-run night
raids. The Okhotsk Sea lies be-
tween Russian-held Kamchatka
Peninsula and the Siberian MAIN
land.
Today's action took place in clear
weather few miles southwest of
Paramushil
Three Ships Definitely Sunk.
Definitely sunk were a 1000 ton
freighter, smaller cargo ship and
large seagoing tug. Concentrated
shellflre from cruisers and destroy
ers probably sank an additional
small cargo ship and damaged an
other.
The japanese ships were surprised
by a fast task force under tactical
command of Rear Admiral John
Brown, jr., of Washington, D. c.,
former Central Pacific subrnariner,
who recently succeeded Rear Ad-
miral John L. McCrea, also of Wash
ington.
The ATTACK was vicious. The Jap
anese could offer only ineffective
fire from small automatic weapons.
The American force suffered no
casualties or damage Although it
risked the possibility of aerial at
tack from japanese planes based on
fields throughout the Kuriles, not
single enemy plane appeared.
Area Visited Three Other Times.
Naval units under the North Pa
ciflc command of Vice Admiral
Frank Jack Fletcher had visited
that area on at least three other
occasions, bombarding Paramushiro'
or Matsuwa.
The Okhotsk engagement was the
first surface action of any magni-
tude in the North Pacific since the
battle of the Komandorskies in
March, 1943. Since the japanese
lost Attu and evacuated Kiska, they
virtually have been driven from the
North Pacific.
However, they have been using
the Sea of Okhotsk to supply North
ern Kuriles garrisons.
