DAN L hANCIOCO, May
19. (UP)-The little nations

right of big powers to veto

The minor powers forced creation
of a special subcommittee at the

duce an acceptable Interpretation of
the complicated Yalta voting for

The question is whether the veto
power of the big five applies to ar

power.

During the past month the BEAM has concerned itself with Open House on Air Force Day, the total victory of our Allied Armies over Japan and the inactivation of this Base as of yes terday, August thirtieth, thus bringing to close the story of a typical Army Air Base that play ed a vital part in winning this na- tion's battle against it's enemies.

ed personnel. That situation was an inevitable one because all pilots, co-pilots, navigators and bombar- diers were commissioned in addi- tion to the vast number of ground, liaison and other administrative of fcers requisite to the Air Forces.
 In the new peacetime conversion of the AAF, such a preponderance of officers is no longer necessary, hence the tremendous process of demobilization starts with the re- lease of officers whose jobs are no longer vital to the prosecution of the war and now have indicated a desire to return to civil life, and naturally, who possess the required number of points commensurate with rank.
 All indications point to the low ering of the critical score for en- listed personnel by the War De- partment at the earliest possible moment. According to a recent press statement by Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson, air and sea transportation will be utilized to the maximum to return to their homes high score men now over seas. Lightning measures are be- ing taken to enlarge the Separa- tion Centers in this country to make them ready to handle 500,000 discharges a month.
 Secretary Stimson revealed that as soon as all danger of Japanese treachery has been removed, ar engagements will be completed for putting into effect a revised point system, which will allow troops credit for service after May 12.
 "A lower critical score will be established and further reduction in this score will be made periodi- cally to insure that discharges pro- ceed at the highest rate permitted by transportation" Secretary Stim- son said. "The aim will be, as in the past, to insure that those who have had the longest and hardest service receive first consideration for discharge. In addition, all en- listed personnel 38 years of age or older will be eligible for discharge within 90 days after they make application for return to civil life.
