La free-hitting argument in the

attack on Britain's close ties with

He maintained that America was

Mr.. AttIee,s government to dror
this one-sided sectional association
with the United States" and try IN
stead @the policy Of equal friendli-
mess and equal frankness toward
both the Soviet Union and the
United States"
The argument ragged Just as hotly
outside Parliament, too. Harry POL

ReparatiOns Halt Asked.
In another phase Of British policy
Anthony Eden asked yesterday that
the British halt shipments Of repara-
tions to the Soviet Union from the
British zone in Germany unless the
Russians make "a full and adequate
contribution" to Germany's eco
nomic life.
The Conservative former foreign
secretary declared that the British
cannot fulfill our obligations under
international instruments If others
are not prepared to do the same. .
He said that despite the Potsdam
agreement until very recently no
contribution Of any sort or kind, as
far as ! know, has been made by
our Russian Allies to treat Germany
as an economic whole"
He called for closer relations be-
tween Britain and the countries OF
Western Europe, and said Russia 4

The Meaning Of Failure

The Community Chest Federation
campaign has reached only SOFT per
cent OF its goal Of $4,2OO 600 with
only f1ye more days before the sched-
uled end Of the drive. To find out
just what failure TO reach the goal
would mean TO the 125 agencies OF
the federation, The Star interviewed
directors Of the following agencies.
Other interviews will appear on
subsequent days.
Barney Neighberhood House would
have to cut out one Or more services
1t offers To children. It might be
the kindergarten, where 81 children
from 8 to S years Of age are cared
for while their mothers work. Or it
might be the crafts program, which
has kept children on the streets and
developed their interest in sewing,
weaving and working with plastics
and shells. 1--WE would not be able
to pay the teachei3 to carry out all
lof our present program" MRS. Wal
lace F. Snow, director, said.
Episcopal Home for Children
would have to take fewer children.
I'VE are obligated first to take care
of the 81 children we now have"
Miss jeanette M. Jonkman, director,
said, land a cut would mean we

Hebrew Home for the Aged would

Maurice Maser, director.
Florence Crittenton Home would

they represented not only them
selves, but all members OF the
United Nations.
He went on to declare that una
nimity among the great powers is
essential for the successful func-
tioning Of the Security Council and
for the future Of the United Ma
tions."
Can you imagine" he asked,
what would happen II four Of the
smaller states and three Of the
great powers decided to use force
against 2 state-perhaps against q
great power-over the determined
opposition Of two permanent men,
bers OF the Council2 That, would
mean war-not the preservation OF
peace"
Senator Connally said one of the
causes for difficulties over the veto
was the lack Of specific rules of pro-
cedure governing its use, particu-
larly the lack Of q more compre-
hensive definition of what consti-
lures 'procedural matters"-that is
questions on which the veto does
not apply.
He said the big powers had at
tempted to clarity this point at San
Francisco last year but that the
definition arrived at then had left
the question only partly settled.
Deals with Abstentions.
Two Of Senator Connally's major
proposals were concerned with alb
stentions from voting. He sug.
gested that the Council agree tc
require members to abstain from
voting on al questions Of peaceful
settlement sof, disputes In which they
are directly concerned. At present
they abstain only In questions pi
imposing sanctions
Declaring that I'VE would moi
permit . party to lawsuit to sii
as member Of the Jury" he said
1T Is the considered opinion Of
the United States delegation that
article Z lays down clearly and with
OUT 90 vocation the fundamental
.principle that In the field Of peace
fu1 settlement under the Charter nc
state shall be . Judge in its own
cause.
"No legal technicalities or mental
excursions into the stratosphere
should be permitted to becloud this
important concept"
The other question Of abstention
he referred to was q proposal ad-
vanced yesterday by Fl Salvador
and New Zealand that permanent
members Of the Council agree that
they might abstain from voting
without vetoing the question before
them.
Warning Given by Argentina.
The first round of debate over the
veto power brought q warning from
Argentina yesterday that the little
nations could exercise b veto Of their
own by walking out Of the Assem-
bly,. Most Observers believed, how
ever, that much as the small ma
tions oppose the veto, they would
not attempt such o move.
Seven Nations rose IN revolt
against the veto In q tension
charged session Of the Political
Committee. Poland, the eighth coun-
try to speak, was the only one to
defend the veto In the opening
round.
Argentina, through her spokes-
man, DR.. Jose Arce, bluntly told
the committee that the Security
Council--in which Australia said
Russia has used the veto 10 times
has violated and forgotten the
charter.
Earlier, Australia-the veto's most
violent opponent-said the powers
given the Big Five In San Francisco
had been used In Q way contrary to
the assurances they had given.

For Safely Talk Map
Eye Protection Drive

Safety engineers and executives
OF the Nations synthetic rubber
plants were more than ever con-
vinced today that eye injuries must
be eliminated from the industry
that keeps America on wheels.
The new determination came as
the result of a sightless hour spent
by some $50 of the industrialists
yesterday afternoon. They sat In
the Federal room Of the Statler
Hotel with heavy dark blue blind
folds over their eyes, listening to
Q discussion on eye protection.
Not more than six cigarettes
were smoked during the blackout.
Whether this was for fear Of burn
ing the fingers or because smoking
is no fun II you cannot see the
smoke, the abstainers did not say.
"Very Uncomfortable"
At the hours end, there was
much blinking and rubbing Of eyes
as blindfolds were removed. E. E.
Edmondson, jr., Port Neches. Tex,
voiced the opinion for many when
he said:
Things were very black and very
uncomfortable"
Each speaker in the symposium,
led by A. p. Altman of the Humble
Oil g. Refining Co., Baytown, Tex,
stressed the necessity of selling the
eye safety program to the indi-
vidual worker. To do this the COM
panies are constantly experimenting
with new types of goggles and spec
tacles to flnd which are most suit
able to the worker who has to wear
them.
The synthetic rubber industry is
particularly hazardous so far as eye
injuries are concerned, according to
John T. Howell of the Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corps ONCE of Rub
Der Reserve, which is sponsoring the
three-day safety and fire prevention
conference.
Many Hazards Cited.
Among the $4,000 workers en-
ployed by the country's So synthetic
rubber plants, he said. approximate
ly 5000 suffer eye injuries an
nually. THESE result from splashing
acids, flying metal off grinder
wheels, fluids leaking from piping
and over-long exposure of unpro-
tected eyes to the fumes of buta-
diene and styrene-chemicals used
to make synthetic rubber.

 Show Big Success
 Washington Park Community Clubs St. Patrick Day party, held Saturday night in the Community House was the usual huge success, from all reports. Fifteen acts given in the style of high class vaudeville, with Louis Lynch acting as Master of Ceremonies, gave the audience an hour and a half of high class entertainment. The young ladies and lads from the Hill sang Irish songs, did the Irish dances with true Irish spirit.
 A few impromptu dances, not on the program, were also given, and, to say the least, as is usually the case, surprise acts always touch the right spot, and the audience showed their appreciation with great ap- plause.
 The committee for the St. Pat rick's Day Celebration was: Mrs. Louis Lynch, chairman, assisted by F. A. McGrath, w. F. Kelly, William Fitzell, Mrs. Ed Plankey, Mrs. Loret- ta Brick, Mrs. William Stack, Mrs. George Lynch, John Dalton and G. R. Lynch.
 Mrs. Mary D. Byrnes was in charge of the entertainment, and with only four rehearsals to work on did a very nice job. Music for dancing was furnished by Dezinno's Orchestra, and Fred Megin was the prompter for the square sets. It is surprising how the young people like the square dance, and tins form of dancing is gaining popularity in leaps and bounds.
