 That's part of the weather phi losophy of Benjamin Franklin Mitchell, 66, sharp-eyed son of generations of Missouri farmers and personal weatherman for the State Supreme Court.

BY the Associoted Press

OKLAHOMA CITY, Sept. 3.-The
American Legion's national chaplain
urged universal military training
yesterday because every one knows
that Mr.. Stain will understand and
heed only one argument-the argu-
ment of force"
In an address before the Okla
homa State Legion Convention, the
chaplain, Msgr. Edward j. Smith of
Sioux City. Iowa, asked support of
the Legion's program for military
training and added:
For some time, people everywhere
have been asking themselves and
their neighbors why our diplomats
and statesmen have been so soft
with Russia.
Some say it is because our State
Department believes the American
people will not fight again"
Msgr. Smith scoffed at the idea
that the atom bomb could prevent
future wars.
There always will be wars so long
as human beings populate the
earth," he asserted.

10 Vote Today 10 Hear
.Ukrainian Charges
BY the Assoeiofed Press

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y. Sept. b.
An authoritative source declared to-
day that Herschel v. johnson, United
States delegate to the United Ma
tions Security Council, will vote to
put Soviet Ukrainian charges against
Greece on the Councils agenda.
Mr.. johnson is scheduled to be
among the first speakers when the
Council convenes this afternoon to
take up again its debate on granting
charges filed by Dmitri Manuilsky.
Foreign Minister of the Soviet
Ukraine, a place on the Councils
calendar.
The United States vote would
make considerably brighter the
prospects that the Council would
hear the Ukrainian Foreign Minister.
Mass of Documents.
The authoritative source said that
while the United States was not too
pleased about the form of the COM
plant as it stands now, it felt that
too many technicalities should not
be placed in the way of hearing a
charge.
Mr.. Manuilsky waited with two
suitcases OF documents for the
Council to decide whether to hear
him Immediately.
Mr.. Manuilsky and his staff kept
busy over the Labor Day holiday
while most of the delegations on the
Security Council relaxed at United
Nations Day yesterday at the Ma
tional Tennis championships at
Forest Hills.
Mr.. ManuilSky must forgo a holi-
day again today. This is VI Day
in Russia, officially decreed as a
holiday for all of the Soviet.
No Comment on Greece.
The Ukrainian official who de-
clared at news conference last Fri
day that the Security Council must
concern itself with the Greek plebis-
cite, had no comment today on the
results OF the voting, in which King
George II won the decision. Mr..
Manuilsky said he would comment
before the council if given an oppor-
tunity; if not he would call another
news conference.
On August "a, Mr.. Manuilsky
filed charges with the United Ma
tions that the Greek government,
aided by British troops in Greece,
is menace to the peace of the
Balkans; is responsible for incidents

Hitler Foes in Reich
Sought Allied Contact
In Al, Army Reports

FRANKFURT. Sept. 3.-United
States reports disclosed today that
agents of the so-called anti Hitler
resistance movement" in Germany
had attempted to establish secret
contacts with the United States,
Britain and Russia as early as 194l
in hopes of bringing an early end
to the war.
The Soviet ambassador to Sweden,
a prominent British clergyman, an
unidentified American and various
Swiss and Swedes were among the
individuals through whom attempts
to establish contact were made, the
reports said.
It was emphasized that the initia-
tive was taken by the Germans in
an effort to win support from the
Allied powers and keep them in
formed of activities that eliminated
in the July 20, 1914 bomb plot against
Adolf Hitler.
The records confirmed earlier re-
ports that Adam Won Trott zu Solz,
one of 1880 Germans executed in
the blood purge which followed the
abortive bomb plot. had tried to
contact the Allied powers in both
Sweden and Switzerland In Stock
holm he approached the Russian
envoy, Madame Kollontay, with
messages from the conspirators that
an attempt on Hitler's life would be
made.
According to the reports, German
churchmen supporting the anti-Nazi
movement tried more than two years
earlier to sound out the British on
how the Western Allies would react
II Hitler were overthrown and a new
peaceful German government took
over.
The reports said that in May, 1912,
DR.. Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a Protes-
tant minister who also perished in
the 1914 blood bath, met British
bishop in Sweden. Bonhoeffer was
said to have given him one of the
f1rSt concrete reports on the opposi-
ton to Hitler then growing within
the Reich.
The anti-Hitler conspirators had
another contact man in Rome. He
was the lawyer Josef Mueller, now
head OF the Dominant Catholic
backed Christian Social Union party
in Bavaria.
Along with the army reports, sew
eral Germans, claiming to be active
survivors of the movement gave
their own reports of contacts.
