The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON u.t. Col Robert s. Allen now on acsiv service with the Army

SAN FRANCISCO-Despite jam packed hotels, Roosevelt was wise when he picked this city as the meeting place for the United Ma tions Conference, for San Francisco is the symbol of the courage of the American people.
 Gutted by one of the worst fires in history, hopeless San Francisco bounced back to become one of our great American cities and host to a conference which seeks to re- store hope to hopeless world-the world today, gutted and war-torn, is no worse off than San Francisco after the earthquake of 1906. Yet it came back-Europe and Asia, if they take a lesson from the City of the Golden Gate. can do the same--there is a zippy atmosphere here which inspires diplomatic en- ergy. None of the stodgy defeatism of Geneva, Versailles or Paris. Even Washington is getting too blase, too old worldish for successful inter- national conference.
 Delegates take on the spirit Of the city which surrounds them. The pressure of newspapers, the radio. the local welcoming committees. even the taxi drivers and hotel people can help to spur success. When delegates know that an eager anxious city plus an eager anxious nation is watching them. depending on them, they think twice before going home empty-handed.

 Mussolini was shot through the head by the Partisans after he was captured Friday by a Sergeant approaching the Swiss border. He and the other Fascist leaders were fleeing in a truck convoy.

Fathered Fascism


 The Italian peasant who was Be- nito Mussolini flashed to world fame as the father of a political system over which nations fought around the world. For nearly 20 years the founder of Fascism took the balcony spotlight which was taken away when German house painter, initiating the Fascist sys- tenn, forged mightier totalitarian machine and Mussolini took back seat from then on.
 Between 1922 and 1942, the plump man with the bull neck imposed his will on more than 40,000, ,0O0 people, holding them in line with his frequent balcony addresses and his army.
 His downfall began when he cast his lot with Hitler in the birth of the Rome Berlin Axis. Mussolini plunged Italy into the second world conflict by jumping on already defeated France. From that time on, Italy knew what war could be like. Tremendous damaging air raids by the British, later by the Americans, contributed to the low ering morale of the Italians, and the Italian Armies failed to measure up to the boasts of their leader.
 Eventually came the Allied North African campaign, Sicily and Italy and the collapse of the Italian gov ernment. Mussolini was rescued by German paratroopers. Son Of Blacksmith
 Mussolini, son of a blacksmith, was born July 29, 1883. He is said to have had a hard boyhood and

SAN FRANCISCO, Calf, April 30. = British American Russian rela- tions teetered on the rim of another crisis with the Polish issue again building up behind the scenes of the United Nations Conference.
 Efforts of the Latin American Na- tions to have an invitation issued to Argentina to join the conference appeared to be forcing a showdown at this time.
 Some conference leaders are pri- vately fearful of the deadlock with Molotov It is reported he told his Big Power Colleagues that Stettin- ous, Eden and Soong will be willing to have Argentina invited if the Warsaw Government of Poland is also asked to send a delegation here. China is opposed to this plan. Latin American strategists propose that either Chile or Brazil, both of which have members on the Executive Committee, make the proposal to add Argentina. to the membership conference.
 The real production machinery of the Conference will be thrown into high gear this week with the organ ization meeting of the four big com missions designed to put the Dum- barton Oaks plan into final shape.
