The admiral commander in chief
of Pacific Ocean areas, specifically
referred to Mr.. Lawrence criticism

New landings would have had to
be made over very unsatisfactory

They would have involved heavy

unacceptable supply problems.

|WPB 10 Remove Curb
On Gold Mines July |
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The War Production Board last
night announced 1t would permit
the resumption of gold mining on
July /.
The action will permit reopenine
of gold operations which have been
shut down since October 8, 1912
when WPB issued its famed Order
L-208" to conserve machinery and
supplies for the more urgently
needed war metals, lead, zinc and
copper.
The gold order is being revoked,
WPB said, but the action will pro-
vide gold mines with no priority to
obtain either manpower or new
equipment.
Many WPB officials have op-
posed the reopening on grounds that
the mines would use manpower,
materials and equipment which
could be put to better war use in
the mining Of other metals.
Pressure from the congressional
delegations of mining States has
been strong, however, and recent
Canadian action relaxing gold min
ing restrictions in the Dominion
added force to their arguments.

Big Power Veto
Plan Approved
Al Conference
Reds Reopen Fight
To Curb Sphere
Of Charter Action
BY GOULD LINCOLN,
Star Staff Correspondent.

SAN FRANCISCO. June 49,
BY vote of 20 to IA. the spon-
soring powers amendment pro-
viding the process for amending
the world security charter, with
Belgian amendment attached,
was approved by a United Ma
tions conference committee to-
night, clearing another obstacle
from the path to adjournment.
This action means the retention
of the veto power on charter
amendments by the permanent
members of the security council,
to which some of the medium
and smaller nations have strenu-
ously objected.
The Belgian proposal had the ef-
feet of requiring ratification Of an
amendment by two-thirds of the
members Of the United Nations. in
cluding all the Big Five, for it to
become effective. Under the original
sponsoring powers amendment, 1t
would have been possible to ratify
an amendment with concurrence
Of the Big Five and a majority Of
the other members Of the organiza-
ton.
This section was expected to
speed up final action on the charter.
Although Foreign Minister Evatt of
Australia, just before the committee
recessed until later tonight, indi-
Gated he might seek to open up the
question of the big power veto
again.
Russia Renews Curb Request.
At q meeting Of another confer
ence committee handling these pro-
visions relating to the powers Of
the General Assembly, Russia
opened up the question Of the right
Of the General Assembly to discuss
any matter within the sphere Of
international relations" The Rus
sian delegate offered an amendment
which would make it impossible
for the Assembly to make q recon-
mendation" on any subject which
did not affect the maintenance Of
international peace and security"
The Russian proposal would still
leave the Assembly free to discuss
any topic within the sphere of in
ternational relations" but would
limit its power In the matter of
recommendations.
The Russian proposal, which may
be the way out of differences which
have arisen over this matter, was
supported by Senator Vandenberg
for the United States delegation,
by France and by others. It will
be voted upon at a meeting of the
committee tomorrow.
May Act Tonight.
If this matter can be ironed out
promptly, 1t will permit the holding
Of q commission session tomorrow
night to pass upon this part of the
charter.
Tomorrow will be an active day,
with a meeting of the Executive
COmmlttee at l0 am. and OF the
Steering Committee at 1:30, not to
mention several committee meet
ings.
The delegates are working long
hours over the week end in an
effort to complete the world charter
and make it possible for President
Truman to address a final plenary
session of the conference next
Saturday.
While conference leaders today
continued to insist these plans fol-

with prospect of success, there were
many doubling Thomases.
