Small Nations Prepare
Fight on Method Of
Council Seat Choice
BY JACK BELL,
Associated Press Stan Writer

1
SAN FRANCISCO, May 7.-Small
nations grouped today for a vigor-
Gus fight against the Big Four pro-
posal to select the six nonperma-
nent members of the projected
World Security Council on the basis
Of their contribution to the war and
their geographic location.
There were indications that the
Latin American countries would
take the lead in the fight at the
United Nations Conference here.
Some Of their delegates thought the
plan of selection might unduly re-
strict their representation within
the inner circle of the proposed
World League.
The United States, Great Britain,
Russia and China are sponsoring the
proposal. They, along with France,
are to be the permanent members on
the council.
This amendment to the basic
league formula would direct, but not
necessarily force, the League As
sembly to fill the temperament
seats with due regard being spe-
cially paid in the first instance to
the contribution of members to the
organization toward the mainte-
nance of international peace and Sc
curity and toward other purposes Of
the organization and also to equi-
table geographical distribution"
War Record Is Basis.
1t was learned today that the i'm
mediate test of any nation'ss con-
tribution to future peace and secur-
ity will be measured In terms of the
help it has given and continues to
give in bringing complete defeat to
the Axis. Later, some standards may
be worked out.
Some conference experts said this
probably would have the practical
effect Of placing nations with small
populations, few economic re-
sources and only potential cultural
contributions permanently outside
the ranks Of Security Council mem
bership. It was noted that Cuba and
Liberia, as examples, might en-
counter great difnculty In bidding
against their larger neighbors for
such seats.
Designed primarily to satisfy the
demands Of so-called middle states
for greater representation than the
small countries, the amendment
seemed likely to work a hardship on
the Western Hemisphere.
The understanding Is that the
world will be divided into three
zones geographically-roughly, Eu-
rope, the Western Hemisphere and
Asia. Under present plans, each
would be given two of the nonper-
manent seats.
Puts Brazil in Second Place.
Thus, in the Western Hemisphere,
Canada, part of the British Com
monwealth of Nations, would have
much stronger bid for one of the
two places than any of the Latin
American republics. Brazil, which
furnished troops for the fight
against the Nazis, probably would
be second in line.
This would leave In the back-

Russia Is Accused
OF Deporting $4,000
Poles as Laborers
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May 7.-"More than
A, 900 members" of the Polish un-
foreground have been deported to
Russia in fourth months, 1t. Anold
Ronke, member of the Polish mill
tary mission in Washington, said
last night.
Addressing a mass meeting OF
American Poles. 1t. Ronke said he
had authentic information that
the deportees were being used as
slave laborers.
There are II concentration
camps in Poland today and the hor-
rors of Maidanek live on just as
during the NaI occupation" he told
the meeting.
mo matter what the diplomats
say at the San Francisco Confer
ence, the facts differ. There is no
freedom in Poland now, or in the
Baltic states of Lithuania, Estonia
and Latvia, or in Romania because
the Soviet administration of these
countries is not in harmony with
the principles for which the war is
being fought"
The meeting, celebrating the 154th
anniversary of the adoption of the
Polish constitution, was sponsored
by the Polish National Alliance.
Representative Lesinski, Demo-
crat, Of Michigan declared Russia
wants, with the approval of the AL
lies, the territory 1t received under
the Molotov- Ribbentrop agreement
of 1899.

Latin Americans think should have

tions.
With Britain a permanent men,
Der Of the Security Council, the Brit
ish Commonwealth would be bid
ding under the proposed system for
two seats In the Asiatic zone, in adj
dition to Canada's possible mem
bership from the Western Hemis-
phere area.
In the Pacific, Australia, New
Zealand and the Philippines qualify
under the projected formula for
their part in this war and for their
potential contributions to future
peace and security. China, of course,
Is a permanent member.
The European zone would find
Egypt and South Africa, as strong
contenders for nonpermanent coun-
Gil seats.
Approval of the amendment by the
Big Four came on the insistence of
British Foreign Secretary Anthony
Eden, with American advisers offer
ing resistance. Russia and China
took small part In the discussion.

We longed for peace a. a child longs for 4
star. But we didn't know how to get it, or keep
it. And we didn't have the equipment to
work with.
We didn't understand that peace has to
be fought for just ~ victory is fought
for but without the drums, without
the parades, without the ribbons, with
out the thrill of physical valor.
Can we do any better now? Well, let's see...
Miracle is pale word to describe what
we have been able to do for 4oar. With
wrecked Navy, less than 500 fighting planes,
and tiny Army we took on two full-sized
wars at once.
And today's news is proof that we didn't
overestimate ourselves.
Why can't the same enthusiasm, energy,
and plain ability win the peace? The answer
is: it can, if it's backed up by knowledge and
facts. And our people have a sure way Of get
ting the facts.
Radio has been Americas voice for war. It
has brought us news still white hot from the
battlefronts. 1t has shared with us the ideas of
our most able thinkers, philosophers, fighters.
It has helped us to keep our eye on the ball by
showing us the cumulative worth of our indi-
vidual efforts.

concerned, will 60 long way towards

Today a new world is born or is it?

Okdy, let's celebrate! The world has
gained something. One of the grimmest fight
ing outfits in history has thrown in the sponge.
Our boys have done terrific job!
But let's remember few things, too "a
few things that may insure the value of all the
sacrifices.
Let's remember, for instance, that today is
We day, an abbreviation that means half
way mark" The Japs haven't quit yet . and
probably won't until the last one is rooted out
of the last hole on the last island.
Then what?
Well have peace, of course. Well have
peace of some sort, and at least for q
while. But peace can mean lot of diff
ferent things
If peace means only chance for the world
to lick its wounds and choose up sides for the
next round, it isn't good enough
If peace means only that people can choose
their own way of starving to death, it isn't
good enough!
If peace means that racial groups will con-
tinue to stand on each others neck j.. that
old border sores will not be healed I. that
international grabs have become sacred
through age, 1t isn't good enough
No one scants such peace, of course. But
we're likely to get it unless big job of think
ing and working is done, and done soon.
It's too big a job for any one man, any three
men, any hundred men. It's full-time job for
3O,O00, 900 of us-every day from now on in.
AS Lincoln put it, everybody is smarter than
anybody"
Wefumbled the ball last time, and today it's
the fashion to blame each other. But the truth
seems to be that we weren't quite ready for
peace.

Ex-SoIdier Fowler HurIs Majors First
 No-Hiiier oE lo4
By JOE REICHLER "A. P. Spcrts Writer

The stirring big league pennant races were forced to share the spotlight today with a 21year-old Canadian Army dischargee who re- turned to the baseball front only 24 days ago.
 The former soldier, Dick Fowler, righthanded hurler of the Phila- delphia Athletics, celebrated his first 1945 starting assignment for the Mackmen yesterday by hurling the seasons first no-hitter to whip the St. Louis Browns, To, in the second game of bouble header. The As also won the opener, 6-2.
 In spinning his masterpiece, Fowler allowed only five balls to oe hit out of the infield and walked four, but two of these were erased by double plays. Fowler had made two brief appearances in relief earlier in the month.
 The last previous no-hitter in the majors was pitched by Clyde Shoun for incinn Ii against Boston May Is, 1944. Bobby Teller of Cleveland was the last Ameri- can Leaguer to accomplish the feat, against the Chicago White Sox on the opening day in 1940.

CODED MESSAGES ARE
 NOW PERMITTED BY AIS

The Alaska Department of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce was notified by the Alaska Communica- tions Service that "Brevity Codes" will be permitted to commercial organizations and individuals com- municating with Alaska through the service.
 Prior to Pearl Harbor, many firms, in communicating with cor respondents in Alaska, were per- mitted to use codes on messages of confidential nature, and these codes were also used to abbreviate communications, thereby resulting in savings to the commercial in- stitutions doing business in Alaska.
 The Alaska Communications Ser vice stated that it is very happy to restore this privilege to Seattle and Alaska business men.
