'U.K., Soviet .opposeFuII
 Jap Council

Tokyo, Aug. IA. (UP)-An Amer ican proposal to invite all the II Allied powers who fought the Pacific war to participate informal ly in Allied Four-Power Council discussions today brought vigorous opposition from the United King dom and Soviet delegates.
 In special Council meeting called to discuss procedural mat ters, George Atcheson, Jr., Amer ican representative, explained that Gen. Douglas Macarthur desires and seeks constructive advice from any and every source to assist him in discharging the tremendous re- sponsibility that sits upon his shoulders"
 Opposed were w. MacMahon Ball, United Kingdom delegate, and It. Gen. Kuzma Derevyanko, of the Soviet Union. The Chinese delegates, It. Gen. Gnu Sinking, reserved comment until after con sulting with Nanking.
 In a general discussion of what subjects fell within the Councils purview, Ball pointed out that the Council was consulted on the uues- tion of extending Japanese fishing grounds but was not consulted on directive granting the Japanese the right to send whaling expedi- tions to the Antarctic.
 Atcheson pointed out that the matter was extremely urgent but Ball reminded him that the whal- ing expeditions would not be sent out until November The American delegate then explained that Jap- anese-manned ships had to be re- fitted for whaling and that the Japanese were resitant to do the work until permission for trip had been granted.
 You are well aware that a Coun- cil meeting could have been called within A hours if needed" Ball retorted.
 The proposal to invite seven ad- ditional nations was put on the agenda for the next regular session Aug. 21.

FederaI-oid  Bill Signed

Washington, Aug IA (UP) - President Truman yesterday signed with plain-spoken misgivings bill for a Federal-Aid program of hos pita1 construction.
 The measure is designed to fur nish adequate hospital care for the nation by authorizing $375 900 900 in Federal aid to states for a five year hospital construction program. It sets up a long-range program to supply hospital and clinical care, with the Government furnishing 40 percent of construction costs for public and non-prof1t institutions built under state programs approy- ed by the U. s. Surgeon General.
 MT. Truman said he was in full accord with the obpectiVes but found certain provisions of the bill objectionable"
 He objected particularly to estab- lishment of a council composed of persons who are not full-time Gov ernment officials. This council will advise the Surgeon-General and have the power of veto over certain of his actions.
 The council also may reverse the action of the Surgeon-General when he has disapproYed state plan be- cause of failure to meet require ments of Federal laws
 MT. Truman said this provision is contrary to sound principles of administration"

Foreign Service Reorganization Measure Siqned

Washington Aug. 14-(UP)-A man won't have to be rich to be an ambassador and U. s. representa- tives abroad will have more time to come home and marry American girls under legislation signed yester- day by President Truman.
 The bill, the first major reor- ganization of the U. s. Foreign Service since 1923, is designed to improve the quality of U. s. diplo- macy in line with this nations in creased international obligations.
 The measure increases top sal aries of ambassadors from the present limit of $175OO to S25 900 and provides similar increases at lower levels. In addition to pro- vldes a new expense account for up- keep of important embassies so American em1SsarieS will not have to provide funds out of their own pockets.
 Another basic provision in the new law requires that Foreign Serv- ice representatives be brought back to the United States more often than before for e-Americaniza- ton" In addition to insuring that our foreign officials maintain closer touch with sentiment at home, this is aimed admittedly at making it easier for such men to court Aneri- can girls. Marrying foreign girls is frowned on in the Foreign Serv- ice, but there has been lot of it.

By ROBERT RICHARDS

New York, Aug 14. - (UP) - The Esquire girl is here, trying to make you forget the Varga girl that you knew so long.
 She's stepping before the public in the big slick magazines Septem- Der issue in two pictures-both blondes.
 The Esquire girl will be fairly nude, you can bet on that, but she'll have class.
 Well take her clothes of, and often," promised artist Joe Demers, but we'll go about it in such way that folks won't mind"
 Vargas contract with Esquire was terminated at his request by court action.
 Can't Do B Year
 Esquire and Varga disagreed last February when Varga told Chi cago court that it was physically impossible for him to turn out 52 Varga girls year.
 Varga was last reported planning to produce The Girl' on his own.
 Demers, and fellow artist Fritz Willis, plan to do away with all artificial situations.
 "Therell be no neon-ighted ukeles, or transparent raincoats, for phony props" Joe explained.
 If our girl is Miss Few Clothes, It'll be in perfectly harmless sit- uation For instance, we may catch her reading a newspaper before she

Soviet ttoUse US. Methods
 Of Bomb Test

San Francisco, Aug. 14-CUP)- The Soviet Union soon will have an atom bomb of its own which it may demonstrate in manner similar to that carried out at Bi- kini last month, a Russian sci- enlist predicted today.
 Dr. Simon Alexandrov, Russian observer at the Bikini tests, said he believed that Russia very soon will have everything you have in the United States He left no doubt that he referred to the atomic bomb.
 Alexandrov said he went to the Bikini tests because his govern ment wished to know how it was organized and conducted "so that in the event Russia prepared a bomb, she would know how 1t should be demonstrated" Stresses Tf''
 "If," - and he emphazied the word "if'-"the Soviet Union pre- pares this bomb, it would hold a test somewhere in Russia where 1t would not endanger the popula- UlOQ, AlexaIQrOV Sdlu.
 Such a test might be held in Siberia, in the mountainous area of Russia, in the Arctic or in the is- lands north of Canada" Asked if he considered the atom bomb as an instrument to obtain international peace, AleXandrov re- piled through an interpreter, some thing else is needed"
 That something" he explained, "is an agreement of the United Ma tions written within the scope Of the United Nations
 Patterned on U. s. Test
 He said that if the Russians sometime should be obliged" to hold an atomic demonstration, it would be similar to the American demonstration. United Nations rep resentatives undoubtedly would be invited to attend, he added.
 Recalling that Foreign Minister Viacheslav Molotov predicted last year that Russia would have atomic energy, AleXandrov empha- sized that the Soviet Union would use such energy flor peaceful and cultural purposes"
 We have had a second world war" he said. Tt is not necessary to have a third one. Both Russia and the United States wish to pro- hibit this kind of weapon

 First step, Parnall stated. was to extend the reinstatement period in which veterans may reioin the Plan to November l, 1946.

 The artists showed him, and land ed fat three-year contract.
 Must Be Almost Real
 Our greatest problem is to make them nifty, but to keep them real !" Willis said, Our pin-ups have to be alive. We want to draw a Wench so a guy will reach out and try to plnch-otherwise, it's just another girl"
 They're working six issues ahead, with both Thanksgiving and Christ mas already done. Often, they both draw the same girl

Facts For Veterans
UNCLE CAN GET PENSION

OFNSLE. SiN 1E fENSlON
 When John HIS orphaned ne-
 pheW was II, John took the boy
 into his home and cared for him
 as though he were his own. He
 did not take any formal steps to-
 ward adoption Shortly after
 Pearl Harbor, the nephew enlisted
 in the Navy and later was killed
 in action His uncle's income,
 meantime, had been so reduced
 that he is not able to support his
 wife and himself He called upon
 his local Red Cross chapter.
 John was advised to file a claim with the Veterans Administration as the dependent parent of his ne- phew. A dependent parent of a serviceman or veteran who has died because of service disabilities is en- titled to pension. $45 for one par ent or $50 when there are two par entS.
 It is not necessary to be a natural parent because the term parent" means a'father or mother through adoption or a person who stands in loco parents" Gin the place of parents to a member of the armed forces for a period of not less than one year prior to the soldiers or sailors entry into the armed fore es. However, only one mother" and one father will be recognized c 5apap 6a,,- ,oora,7+c
 John H. can be regarded as the parent of his nephew because he stood 'in loco parentis' for more than one year prior to the time his nephew entered the Navy.
