Another passenger, Mrs. William

how mystic urge prompted her tc

taken by Mrs. Williams.

Charter
CONTINUED From First Page }

upon as the most severe treaty OF
modern times.
ut dismembered the German
empire. 1t reduced Germany te
military impotence and gave the
Allies a permanent right to pro-
long that impotence. For example
Germany was permanently forbid
den any submarines and any mill
tary or naval air forces and there
could be no manufacture of any
war material except as approved
by the Allies. The military terms
were drawn by Marshal Foch and
his aides and were as drastic as
the best military minds of the time
could devise.
THE reason why Germany recov-
cred her military might was not be-
cause the Treaty of Versailles was
soft. It was because the Treaty OF
Versailles was not enforced. The
reason why it was not enforced was
because the victors fell apart.
Il assume we do not want to do
that again. If SO, the only prac-
tical alternative is to adopt the San
Francisco Charter. However, the
Senate does not need to do that
merely because it is the lesser of two
evils. Actually, the document before
you charts path which we can fol-
low joyfully and without fear.
I'VE remain the raster of our own
destiny. The Charter does not sub
ordinate us to any supergovernment.

the greatest single step this country
could take for peace at this time
would be to end the war against
Japan on terms that would provide
adequate guarantee against any re-
newal of Japanese aggression.
Gerald Smith Associate Heard.
Among the last of the opponents
of the Charter heard today was Car
H, Mote, of Indianapolis, who said
he spoke as an associate of Gerald
L. K. Smith, representing the Amer
lea First party, the National Farm
ers' Guild and number of Other
organizations. He argued there /:
no evidence American security will
be promoted by the Charter.
With no substantial opposition
awaiting the new peace organiza-
ton on ethe floor, Senate Majority
Leader Barley has decided tostaks
up the Breton Woods world none

the treaty.
Senator Barley said action on
the treaty may be put off until July
% to dispose also of the tax-relief
bill for business, to expedite recon-

Nays Racial Policy
Is Hailed After Tour

The Navy is making progressive
efforts to establish throughout the
service the policy of migrating
Negroes in all phases of naval duty,
Lester B. Granger, executive secre-
tary of the National Urban League,
told a press conference at the Navy
Department today.
He said the Nays policy in ex-
panding the opportunities for the
Negro is $50 far ahead of the Army
that it isn't even funny"
Mr.. Granger said the Navy per-
mitS the Negroes to attend the same
recreation facilities offered white
personnel. He explained that this
was due to the fact that the Navy
operated its own recreation services
and said he hoped that the Red
Cross would never be called in to
handle this service as its does in
the Army.
"The Navy is doing things which
the Army still insists is bad for
morale" Mr.. Granger said. THE
Army is still trying to build two
armies, one black and one white"
The colored leader just returned
from tour of West Coast and
Northern naval establishments as a
special assistant to Secretary For
restal. He visited u establishments
and the 9th, 18th, 18th and 18th
Naval Districts, which included
among their personnel about 5000
Negroes.

Charter Lacks Teeth,
Justice Roberts Tells
Hometown Audience
BY the Associated Press.

PHOENIxvILLE, Pa, July Is,
Asserting that the United Ma
tions Charter has mo teeth
Owen j. Roberts, retiring United
States Supreme Court justice
told his fellow townsmen it is ur
to the American people to lead
the way toward uniting the
democratic peoples Of the earth
In his first public appearance
since his retirement was announced
by President Truman, Justice Rob-
erts denied last night the existence
of international law"
"TAe only law between nations,
he said, "is the law of tooth ane
claw"
Veto Power Criticized.
The Charter does not provide for
peace because the power of veto en-
ables member nations to toss it "out
the window" at any time they so de-
sire, the veteran jurist told his
townspeople and Army veterans
from Valley Forge General Hospital
He proposed that the people Of the
United States seek "a government OF
free men, not of nations" to main
tain peace.
I'VE should invite the world to
join is in a charter within the
League OF Nations" he said.
1T is your business" Justice Rob-
erts told his open-air audience, ''tc
get together and work for it,
No Compulsion Provided.
He credited the San Francisco
Conference with having under
standing" It's aims, he pointed out
are to Five as brothers should, rec
ognizing the complete sovereignty Of
every nation"
'Transgressors may be reasoned
with, economic sanction may be en-.
forced or member nations may bt
asked to send their forces to com.
pei obedience"
But there is no compulsion to d.
this. An international police
force" he said, must have form
of international government behint
it with law and authority"

control training and the discipline
of officers and crew with preventing
disaster.
Instantly the order went down to
reverse engines to escape the derelict
bow. The stern and forward engines
worked against each other to turn
the ship around, an operation
fraught with danger of capsizing il
the waves caught the hull broadside
in their deep troughs-and capsiz-
ing meant certain loss of all lives as
no human could live in those seas.
That maneuver was successfully
completed and the Pittsburgh head
ed directly away. She came 11to the
deadly calm of the center of the
typhoon and then once more was
caught in the full fury of its oppo-
site perimiter.
All the time" Capt Gingrich said
I'VE thought of the possibility that
the stern also might be carried
away, which would mean that the
propeller shafts would be lost and
the engine rooms flooded with the
power and steering ability lost"
Meanwhile, damage control and
ships repair crews went into action
under the direction of Comdr. John
j. Kircher, the ships first lieuten-
ant, of Port Townsend, Wash.
1t. q. g. Fred I. Calfee of New
port. Tenn, damage-control off,
Ger, was fighting an electrical fire
in the windlass room when the
alarm for the broken bow was
passed.
1t. Calfee, Comdr. Kircfler and
1t. q. g. Thomas E. Acton of
Monongahela, Pa, a ships repair
officer, fought their way through
wind and rain on the weather deck
with ID enlisted men to get below
and inspect the damage.
AL bulkheads aft of the hatch
by which they descended had been
sealed off. They faced certain
death If the pounding sea knocked
in the bulkhead remaining forward.
They found one bulkhead between
them and the sea and that one steel
barrier was cracking and buckling
under the sledge-hammer blows.
Some of the decks below were en-
tirely flooded. Those in which they
could work at all were swirling with
battered furniture, water-soaked
stores and other debris which had
to be passed up through the matches
before the work of snoring up the
bulkhead could begin.
For five hours the men fought
to hold their balance in four feet
OF water in the shuddering compart-
ments. They sweated. strained and
pushed 4-by-4 snoring timbers into
place.
At one point, as they worked, the
bulkheads began to bulge inward.
Men," 1t. Calfee shouted, IF we
don't get this thing done, and right
now, it's curtainsi"
They got it done.
Throughout the fight, so smoothly
did the damage control crew work
there was no panic anywhere on
the ship. Some men even slept
through the danger unaware.

because I am sure we were all pray
ing. The pilot brought us down to
gentle landing in a cornfield."
Capt. Davis said that neither he.
nor the co-pilot, N. L. Martingdale,
saw the bomber, a BIS, before the
crash. He said the crash occurred
as he was taking his plane down
for a landing at Columbia. Both
engines of the airliner were knocked
off, its left wing partially torn off
and the fuselage aft of the cockpit
was cut.

Davis saying, After 20 years-my
