 Speaking at a meeting spon- sored by the Christian Youth for America, Smith declared that the only reason there is veto clause in the United Nations Charter is because I told Senator Vandenberg that if there wasn't such clause, he wouldn't be sent back to the United States Senate from Michigan"

Under the proposal, teachers would be paid in accord ance with the amount of their training, so that grammar school teachers would receive the same pay as high school teachers with similar training.
 Specific figures for the new sal- ary schedule were submitted by the local group when the proposal was made to the board.
 Indications are the Board of Edu- cation will take action on the pro- posal at it's meeting next week. The proposed budget of the Education Department must be submitted to the Board of Finance by Sept. 15.

Leaders of the CIO, the Connec- ticut Citizens Political Action Con- mittees and the Independent Citi- zens' Committee of Arts, Sciences and Professions nave urged It. Gov. Wilbert Snow to withdraw his candidacy from the Democratic gubernatorial nomination in favor of Chester BoWles.
 The Lieutenant-G Governor, who is viewed as a potential vote-getter by many party leaders, refused to agree to the urgings of the liberal factions, it was learned by The Waterbury Democrat today.
 These factions have long viewed Bowles as their choice for the States gubernatorial nomination. In pressing Snow to withdraw they urged that he seek the U. s. Sen- storial nomination instead.
 Not Unfavorable
 The move is not indicative of any "unfavorable" attitude toward the Lieutenant Governor on the part of these groups, but merely substantiates the reports that Bowles was their top choice.
 Some party leaders, who view Snow as the better gubernatorial candidate. have argued their case in opposition to the PAC's choice, on the basis that the very factors for which these groups favor BoWles

 Miss Elder went hunting for her rival with a siX-inch hunting knife but stabbed Mrs. John Kemp, 36, mother of three children instead, Chief of Detectives Daniel Porrisl said.
 Porrisi said Miss Elder had been too intoxicated to answer questions after her arrest.
 Doesn't Know Why
 She doesn't know why she did it," he said.
 From statements made by Miss Elder and witnesses, Porrisi pieced together the following story:
 While drinking in a tavern late yesterday, Miss Elder suddenly an- nounced that she was going to get Virginia Pierson for dating my boy friend"
 She rushed out of the tavern, armed with hunting knife. Gus toners warned Miss Pierson by telephoning Mrs. Kemp, her first floor neighbor. Mrs. Kemp ran up- stairs to tell her and Miss Pierson locked her door.
 Miss Elder arrived in taxi, wearing the knife in her belt. She told the driver to wait.
 Failing to get response from the Pierson apartment, she went downstairs and entered Mrs. Kemp's fiat.
 A few minutes later the taxi driver saw Mrs. Kemp stagger out the front door. She screamed:
 My God, come in here
 Mrs. Kemp staggered back into the apartment and collapsed. Her husband, who had been working in the basement, ran upstairs He took the knife away from Miss Elder and held her for police.
 Mrs. Kemp died en route to a hospital. She left three children Tony, 6; Lucy, 4, and John, 1e months.

Big 4 Meet
 As Poles See 'AtomicW Wor'
Spokesman Says Some Delegates PIonninq Bottle

 Secretary of State James F. Byrnes and Foreign Ministers Ern- est Bevin, V. M Molotov and Georges Bidault assembled in Bi- dault's office in special search for Big Four anity as a requisite to peace conference progress.
 This was the first meeting of the Big Four as ministerial council since their Paris sessions which laid the groundwork for the present peace conference.
 Josef WInieWicz of Poland re- stunned the Soviet bloc's attack on Australia a short time before the Big Four were to hunt ways to bridge the chasm between East and West.
 Condemning Australian repara- tions proposals, Winiewicz stated that some peace conference dele gates appeared to be planning for future War-an atomic war-instead of peace. He said just the reverse should be true.
 We are planning for peace, not War-atomic war-as some delegates here seem to think"
 The Poles remark was made in the Italian Political Commission. It was prompted by a statement yes- terday by Col. w. R. Hodgson of Australia referring to Italian fears that the proposed cession of from tier strip by Italy to France would endanger Italian security in case of war.
 Ernest Bevin, James F. Byrnes, V. M. Molotov and Georges Bidault representing Britain, the United States, Russia and France-will sit down together in the French For eign Office.
 Results and attitudes emerging from the Big Four meeting will be instrumental in making or breaking the 2l-nation conference. It has dragged through nearly five weeks of arguing and hostility with the scantiest results. Everyone agreed that drastic action was necessary ii the conference was to succeed ir completing treaties with Italy, Bull garia, Romania, Hungary and Fin land.
 Byrnes' team of advisers was ex- pected to be Sen. Tom Connally | (D.-Tex9, Sen. Arthur Vandenberg (R.-Mich), assisted by Charles A Bohlen of the State Department as interpreter.
