Word Waited
by Big Five

San Francisco, May 14-lNS-
The United Nations conference
sought progress today on the tech
nical task of formulating world
security order while the big Five
awaited word from home govern
ments on solving the regional Sc
curity and trusteeship issues.
Great Britain reopened the re-
gional security pact controversy by
asking for a special concession to
the empires dominions, by which
each could rush to the defense of
the other without awaiting orders
from the world organization. The
British request met instant opposi-
ton from the other great powers.
Australia, apparently following
Britain's lead, demanded that the
big Five" be stripped Of their in
dividual veto" power in the securi-
ty council when acting on the use
OF regional pacts to put down local
aggression. Australia asked that
regional groups be permitted to
act to suppress aggression on a
simple majority Of the security
council. including but three OF the
big Five" votes.
With three of the big Five" for
eign ministers gone. and fourth

after will be made by the home gov
ernments. British Foreign Secre-

The thoughtful vision in the mind
Of a Lions Club member at Christ
