Roosevelt Asks Army Discharge
By FRED SCHERFF

Washington, July 30.-UP)-E- liott Roosevelt, who rose from cap tain to brigadier general in lit- tie under five years, has asked the Army to release him from active duty.
 The 34-year- old officer, second son of the late President and center of more than one nationwide con- troversy, accumulated 278 discharge points in career that included &C., ton in North Africa, Sicily, Italy. Britain and France. A minimum of S5 is needed for discharge.
 No Action Taken
 The War Department said Roose- velt's discharge application had been sent to Gen. H. H. Arnold, Army air force chief, but that no action had yet been taken.
 The department declined com ment on published reports that Roosevelt had been advised" to re- tire from active service because of recent publicity over loans he ne- gotiated while his father was chief executive.
 GA Chicago Tribune copyright dis patch said that Roosevelt had been told by his War Department supe- riors "that the disclosure of flis ne- gotiations of huge loans, while his father was in the White House, and the subsequent settlement of the loans for fraction of the sums ad- vanced had brought discredit on the service.
 ("He was urged to take the grace full way out and submit his applica- ton for discharge on the ground that he had served five years and accumulated some 278 points in that service" the Tribune said0
 Two congressional committees are investigating the controversial loans. One reportedly was for $2O0, ,000 from John A. Hartford, president of the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co.,, and later settled by former Secre- tary of Commerce Jesse Jones for $4,000.
 His Army career began in October, 194O, when he was commissioned a captain. That was about when the country was becoming draft-con- scious and there was a storm of protest at his appointment.
 He commanded photographic re- connaiSsance units overseas, winning the Distinguished Flying Cross, the Air Medal and Legion of Merit. For his work in the North African cam- paign, the British made him a

Big Charter FiqhtAheud
BY JOHN D. CUTTER

Washington, July 30-(UP)-The senate has given overwhelming ap- proval to American participation in the United Nations peace organiza- tion, but the real fight is yet to come.
 That will occur when the time ar rives to determine what this country is to furnish in the way of troops and planes, and who is to authorize their use by the new world security organization.
 These questions were left unset Eled when the senate ratified the United Nations charter by an 89 to P vote late Saturday:
 l. The size and type of military units this nation will agree to fur nish for the cause of peace.
 2. Whether such forces can be or- dered into action without specific approval of congress in each case.
 3. Whether the agreement for those forces will require two-thirds senate vote, as a treaty or a ma iority vote by both houses of con- gress, as joint resolution.
 Recess Wednesday
 It will be months before all those nuestions are settled. The senate plans to recess Wednesday until Oct. 8. The House already is in re- cess until that date.
 According to present plans, the question of specific congressional approvel for use tf American troops may be the first to be tackled. It is expected to arise in connection with 8 bill to set up the office of delegate to the United Nations security coun- cil, to which former secretary of state Edward R. Stettinius, Jr., al- ready has been named.

Big 3 Secret On Decisions
BY MERRIMAN SMITH

Potsdam, July 30-(UP)-Presi- dent Truman, Premier Stalin and Prime Minister Attlee were reported working on a final communique to- day, but it was likely that many of their military decisions will be kept secret for the present.
 (The dispatch did not speculate on the nature of the military deci- sions, but a CBS correspondent broadcast from London that he be- lieved one of the principal negotia- tors-obviously Russian-had stated that his country would go to war against Japan soon0
 The big three conference obvious ly was in its closing stages and the communique was expected to be is- sued soon. An official statement yesterday said the conference was progressing satisfactorily
 In addition to meeting Stalin and Attlee, MT. Truman was conferring with Judge Samuel Rosenman. his special adviser, on the report to the nation which the president probably will deliver by radio within A hours of his return to Washington.
 The presidential report was ex- pected to include summary of the accomplishments at Potsdam and their effect on the nature of the Japanese war. resettlement of war torn Europe, and the formation Of a workable peace organization.
 Although MT. Truman opposes se- cret deals, it was believed likely that the big three's decision on mil- itary matters would become known only as they take effect in the months to come. Outside this cate gory, however, the President was ex- pected to tell all in his report to the nation.
 Details of the progress of the big three conference were more obscure than ever.
 Official announcements made known only that the conference was continuing and that the foreign sec- retaries of the three countries met yesterday.
 (Radio Luxembourg said Polish delegation arrived in Potsdam yes- terday, leading to speculation that Poland's western boundaries were being discussed0

 Workers Busy With Repairs
BY JACK ROWLES

New York, July 30.-(UP)-En- g;neers reported today that the En- pire State building escaped struc- tural damage when it was struck by a BPS bomber Saturday. All of- fees in the 102-story structure were open for business except on the burned and blasted 18th and 79th floors.
 The gaping, 1S-foot hole torn by the exploding bomber at the 18th floor level was shored up and 15 men were at work on scaffolding outside the building repairing the damage. All elevators to the 67tn floor were back in service and five elevators were operating from the 67th to the 80th floors.
 18th Floor Devastated
 The 79th floor, occupied by the War Relief Service of the National Catholic Welfare Conference, where 10 office workers were killed, still was a scene of devastation. But offices of the Caterpillar Tractor company on the 80th floor were open for business. The 80th floor suf- fered extensive heat damage.
 J. H. BurchardS, construction manager, announced that the upper part of the worlds tallest building was considered safe, even during repairs. A detailed statement on the condition of the building was prom ised later today.
 The death toll remained at 13-10 office workers and three men in the plane which struck the building headlong apparently at full throttle while lost in fog. The body of the pilot, It. Col. William F. Smith, Jr., 27, was sent today to Birmlng- ham, Ala, for burial.
 Mayor F. H. LaGuardia blamed the pilot for the disaster.
 "If the pilot had been up where he belonged" LaGuardia said, there would have been no trouble"

Women Says Snake Swallows Pet Cot

Cambridge, Mass, July 30- (UP)-A Harvard zoologist scoffed today at a New Hamp- shire housewife's report that "a 2O-foot black snake" swal- lowed her pet cat.

 Mrs. Frank Johnson of Mill ford, N. H., had reported that the huge snake gulped down her full-grown cat near her home Friday. She swore she later saw the serpent slither into a meadow with a big bulge in it."
 "The largest black snake in New England wouldn't exceed five feet in length" Loveridge said. He added that no native snake in this section could pos sibly swallow 8 cat.
