It is believed, Harris said, that
the beetle came into this state

the summer of 1912. Entomologists

TSASKS MORE
THAN PEACE PACT
BY JOHN F. CHESTER

L
Prime Minister Jan Christian
smuts of South Africa, last sur
viving elder statesman Of the Yer
sailles conference, declared with
deep emotion today that delegates
to- the San Francisco world meet
ing must draft more than treaty
1--WE must write a true confes
sion Of faith"
"Our peace has reached the limit
of human endurance" he told the
Associated Press. If we fail here
the world may be psychologically
shocked beyond repair"
Just before SHUTS spoke it was
disclosed authoritatively he had
been put forward asa key figure
in a strategic plan intended both
to strengthen the projected World
Security treaty and smooth the
path Of the conference opening
here next Wednesday.
Under it the cold language Set
ting up the Dumbarton Oaks Sc
curity machinery would be pre-
faced by a statement of princi-
pies intended to stand for all time
as a moving human document.
simultaneously the drafting COM
mittee would be able to give hear
ing without final decision to the
dozens of human rights controver-
sizes already pressing in upon the
San Francisco conference.
Thus, broad principles could be
laid down which could serve as a
guide for future settlement of such
matters as the Arab-Jewish pro-
blem, as well as questions of race
discrimination, backward coun
tries, world labor standards and
other prickly matters. The confer
ence itself could be left with the
setting up of new world machinery
as its sole task.
Field Marshal SHUTS, wearing
comfortable South African battle
dress unrelieved, by any insignia
Of rank, spoke eloquently about
this in the quiet of his hotel room.
1--WE have made great sacri-
fees in this war and the last, :"
he said. 'They have given us a
cause, a faith. Surely we have
things of the spirit. And now we
should state all these things.
"Hitler and Mussolini, the gangs
tiers, flooded the world with their
evil beliefs. Now is the time for us
to sit down and write Of why we
fought them and what we have
been fighting for.
what we write must be more
than a treaty We must write true
confession of faith"
The 74-year-old prime minister
suggested the San Francisco COM
mittee assigned to draft a pre-
amble to the new world charter
should be known simply as the
committee Of general principles.
Reminded that he would be the
only delegate to the San Francisco
parley who also had sat with Will
i son, Orlando, Clemenceau and
Lloyd George at Versailles after
the last war when the league OF
nations was born, SHUTS nodded.
Eyes, the old leaders have with
cred and passed away" he said.
"And we must do better here than
we did there. I remember that I
asked Wilson repeatedly whether
he could carry his country along
with him on the principles we had
agreed to. He always answered
yes Perhaps if he had lived he
might have done so. For the sake
Of the world I hope that doesn't
Z, happen again."
The idea of drafting a preamble
setting forth the principles for
governing the future world is not
new, as it has been discussed fire.

At Topeka, Kan, Landon said he
was delighted to have the oppor-
tunity to talk over with the Presi-
dent any question he cares to dis
cuss." There was no immediate
comment from Governor Dewey,
who was visiting New York City
today and had not yet seen the
invitation, which was sent to AL
bany.
Food was uppermost on the
Presidents business calendar to-
day. AS soon as he finished his So
minute conference with Mr.. Hoov-
err, the president called in assistant
Secretaries Acheson Of the State
Department, Bard of the Navy and
McCloy of the War Departments
to discuss food generally.
Mr.. Hoover, United States Food
Administrator during the first
world war, was smiling but close
mouthed as he left the presidential
offices. He wore a conservative
brown suit. A dark blue four-in-
hand tie was tucked into his fami-
liar high collar.
'The President has the right to
make his own statements about

reporters. 'sThere is no right Of

The sustained, night-long Japa-

Friday morning in which II Am
erican ships were damaged and
attempts were made to land plane
loads of grenade and mortar-arm-
ed "Giretsu'' suicide volunteers on
Yontan airfield.

nese 166 planes destroyed, includ-
ing dozen which attempted to
land troops On Yontan. One dive
bomber did make belly landing
and disgorge about Is troops who
did some damage before they were
killed. Eleven other troop-carrying
planes were shot down approach
ng the field.
These two attacks, carried out
chiefly in darkness. inflicted the
greatest damage to American ship
ping since about japanese air
raids with upwards of 400 planes
in early April. Continued neutraliza-
ton of Japanese staging bases
presumably have reduced the en-
enny's ability to make such strong
attacks.

destroyed is preliminary and the
number is expected to be increas-
ed when final figures are available.

Twelfth street between Carolina

to a point north of the city hall and
thence to Highway 421.

board that by paving Canal avenue,

and Twelfth street, which con-
meets the two avenues, for use by

jestion would be relieved by max
ing a loop drive around the central
