In tune with the times, the
Women's City Club will hold a
Surplus Property" auction of its
own next week, and use the pro-
ceeds to carry on its work OF helping
needy overseas families.
Miss Marguerite Griffin, chairman
of the clubs World Relations De-
partment, is in charge of the pro-
ject. from which the club hopes to
have as successful results as it did
from last months Dollar Shower >
The club membership, which num-
bers 473, was asked then to give in
dividual dollar contributions.
1t was in answer to the appeals
of their friends overseas that the
club, under the leadership Of its
new president, Mrs. Gladys M. Bowl
ling, instituted its World Relations
Department in May.
The club has now adopted" three
Greek families, three Dutch, one
Austrian, one Hungarian, one Ital-
ian, one French, one Polish and two
English families. To each of these
families, which number from two
to seven members, the club has sent
warm winter clothes and such
needed household supplies as soap,
toothpaste. towels, buttons, needles
and thread. Candy bars and dried
fruits are among the food items.
A charter member, Mrs. Florence
P. Clark, suggested way of acquir-
ing extra dollars for the fund. From
the sale of personal articles through
ads in the paper, she got enough
money to put into what she called
her Helping Hand" fund. From
this the club evolved the idea of
holding a Surplus Property Pa
rade."
In a circular that has Just been
sent out, club members are asked
to look through their "attics, closets,
cupboards and cellars" for salable
articles, and bring them to the club
headquarters, 1888 I street NV, be-
fore August 26. The sale will be
held that night.
Letters received from overseas
families, who were made destitute
by the oppression and pillaging of
their German invaders, are testi-
mony of their need just for the bare
necessities of life.
One Hungarian woman writes,
"" * we returned home, early in
1945 between flying bullets. burning
houses and cadavers and found an
icy, robbed, bombed city. Not 10
per cent of our goods and clothes
were left. All we had was worn in
the last two fearful winters. .
The room was poor, heated with
wood gathered from ruined build
ings, which by chance were not
burned down"
A Dutch correspondent writes, II
hope you will forgive me, when
write you,. that we have become
very poor in the last six years. We
still need so many things. Our lin
en- cupboard is empty; the sheets
on our beds and our clothing are
worn out. And shoes are still scarce
here"
Most of these families have no
relatives or friends in the United

ENGLISH ASK LOTTING FOR
 SEA TONNAGE
Shipping Authority Opposed by
 u. 5. al Seattle

SEATTLE, June '. - American shipping enterests, Maitland s. Pennington declared today, will op- pose to the utmost a British reso- lution calling for establishment of an international shipping authority with power to designate the share of each nation in the tonnage of the worlds commerce.
 Pennington, U s. Employers del- egate to the world maritime con- ference, asserted the proposal "has no place whatever in this confer ence and is completely outside the agenda, which has to do solely with seamen's wages, working conditions and other collateral matters" The resolution was dropped into the hopper just before the Thurs day opening of the conference by Charles Jarman, British labor del- egate.
 Conference delegates, guests last night of Secretary of Labor Schwellenbach and Rep. Henry Jackson (D-Wast), continued to- day the work of organizing their 21-day session.

CASE BILL BRINGS
 5000 IELEGRAMS
 DAY TO PRESIDENT

WASHINGTON. June 7.-Presi- dent Truman is getting about 5000 telegrams day for and against the Case labor disputes bill.
 And there are great many let ters also, Presidential Secretary Charles G. Ross said in telling re- porters today of the unprecedented flood of messages.
 A White House count showed the President has received 35,827 tele- grams on the question of labor policy since he first announced his determination to use the Army to operate the railroads in the event the strikers refused to return to their posts.
 Many of the original telegrams dealt strictly with that radio speech and the Presidents subsequent ap- peal to Congress for emergency leg islation dealing with strikes. he said.
 After Congress passed the Case Bill, he said. the telegrams have dealt almost exclusively with that measure.
 Ross said he could not estimate how many were urging the Presi- dent to veto and how many wanted him to sign the bill.

SOVIET THROWS RED LIGHT UPON
 TWO ELECTIONS
Vatican Assai|ed for At- tempis to Intimiddte
 French, Italian Voters

LONDON, June 7.-Moscow made new attack on the Vatican today, accusing the Catholic hierarchy Of pro-Fascist sympathies and Pope Plus of attempts to intimidate French and Italian voters with all kinds of bogies" on the eve of elections.
 A Tass report of an Izvestia arr ticle by International Observer" broadcast by the Moscow radio said, however, that Italy's elec- tions were a victory for democ- racyv in spite of all the Pope could do. The report also interpreted the French elections as victory for the left, and said both results develop ed despite the zeal of Catholic reaction"
 At the same time, Moscow dis patches reported an article from Ungvar (Uzhorod), in Ruthenia, formerly a part of Czechoslovakia which has been ceded to Russia, attacking the uniate clergy in that area.
 "Trans-C arpathia political gangsters built themselves nests in the folds of the black cassocks of the Uniate Bishop" the article as- serted.

USsR, ARGENTINA HEAL 29 YEAR OLD
 DIPLOMATIC RIFT

BUENOS AIRES, June 7.-Rus- sia and Argentina have reestablish- ed diplomatic relations, severed in 1917 after the overthrow of the Czarist regime.
 Announcement of the termina- ten of the 29-year-old diplomatic rift between the powers was made here by President Juan D. Peron at his first press conference since taking office last Tuesday.
 Simultaneously, the Moscow ra- dio, heard in London, said the two governments, inspired by the high principles of collaboration and un- lerstanding between peoples, de- clare they have decided to estab- fish from today complete diplomat ic, consular and trade relations"
 The Moscow broadcast said am- bassadors would be exchanged in the near future"
 The official Soviet press said the diplomatic link between the na- tions would result in extensive trade. A Russian mission which came here ostensibly to promote commerce was given diplomatic status at Peron's inauguration.

House Committee Urges Continuance
 Oi VISA Operation

WASHINGTON, June 2. The House Merchant Marine and Fish cries Committee today urged the Senate Appropriations Committee to extend War Shipping Adminis- tration operation of steamship lines to Alaska until June 30, 1947.
 The House Committee sent a letter to the Senate Committee saying prior owners could not af- ford to resume operation of the three lines without substantial rate increase. Alaskans, it said, cannot afford to pay the proposed rates.
 A House passed bill appropriating money for the Navy Department directs the War Shipping Admin istration to discontinue all opera tions by next Dec. 31 and return vessels it operates to private own CTS. The bill now is before the Sem ate Committee.
 Iiie acton or the House Com mittee followed a plea to the Sem ate Committee by Delegate Bart lett of Alaska to extend the life of the Shipping Administration to en- able it to operate the Alaskan steamship lines.
 The Houee Cn-,mittee said 1t un- derstood the Senate Committee was considering extending the life of the Shipping Administration until next March 1. It urged that the extension tc until June 30, 1947 to enable operation of the Alaska ser- vice.
 The Senate Committee in sending the Navy appropriation bill to the Senate today, provided that all powers and duties of the shipping should be trans ferred to the Maritime Commission on next July l.
 It gave the Maritime Commission the same authority as the Shipping Administration now has and pro- vided that final accounting of Shipping Administration operations must be made by March l, 1947.

NOMINATIONS OF
 vINS0N, SNYDER
 TO BE APPROVED
Speedy Action Is Predicted by Sendfe-Slighf Crifi-
 eism Is Expressed

WASHINGTON, June 7.-Presi- dent Truman's choice of Fred M. Vinson for Chief Justice of the United States and of John w. Sny- der for Secretary of the Treasury prompted predictions today of speedy Senate approval.
 There will be no difficulty" Senator Johnson (D-Colo) told re- porters. Others echoed that fore- cast.
 The same word went out for the advancement of John L. Sullivan from Assistant to Undersecretary of the Navy, also announced by MT. Truman in a single breath at his news conference late yesterday.
 Vinsons and Snyder's selections for two of the highest posts in the land came in for considerable crit icism, however. from Republicans and from pro-labor, New Deal Dem ocrats But none indicated a dis position to fight confirmation. All three nominees must receive Sem ate approval before they can take office
 Expressed Opinions
 Privately, some New Dealers said they would have preferred to see what they described as a more liberal" man nominated as Chief Justice They count vinson as pret- tv much a "middle-of- -the-roader" in political philosophy, although some old line Democrats look on him as inclined to the left of cen ter.
 As for Snyder, the New Dealers are openly at odds with him. They ascribe chiefly to his influence as Reconversion Director the firiner White House attitude toward or ganized labor in recent weeks.
 GOPers Disappointed
 Few Republicans had anything critical to say of the nominees themselves, but they were patently disappointed that the President did not nominate member of their party to the Supreme Court.
 For years, it was more or less tradition that the bench should be kept in political balance"
 During President Roosevelt's ten ure of office, however, the division came down to seven Democrats and two Republicans.
 With confirmation of vinson, it will be eight Democrats and one Republican. Vinson was named to succeed the late Chief Justice Har- Ian F. Stone, Republican.

EMPEROR SHAKES HANDS WITH U. S.
 ARMY MAN TODAY

CHIBA, Japan, June 7.--Emper- or Hirohito publicly shook hands with an American Army officer to- day, Awed Japanese saw the unu- 5ual exchange as the Emperor ar- rived here on the final leg of his longest meet-the-people trip.
 It. Col. Frederick J. Stevenson, Fl Paso, Tex, Military Governor of Chiba Prefecture, was waiting at the railroad station when the En- peror stepped off shiny maroon coach of his Imperial train.
 Stevenson snapped his military police escort to attention. saluted the Emperor, then extended his hand in greeting. The Emperor grasped it.
 Earlier in his two-day swing around Boso Peninsula-the "kitch- en of Tokyo"-Hirohito drove along streets packed with Banzai shout ing people to visit Umekichi Sskine, keeper of Inubo lighthouse.
 Still unaccustomed to getting out among the populace, he showed less nervousness than yesterday, however, when he slogged through heavy mud to watch farm workers planting rice sprouts in flooded paddles.

GUNS SILENT IN CHINA AT
 WkS.
New Truce May Be Last Chance 10 End IS Years
 of Civil War

HAWKING, June 7.-Guns of China's warning factions were ord- cred silenced at noon today for IS days of last-chance peace negotia- tions, delaying the prospects for an all-out battle in Manchuria which had threatened to break out at any moment.
 AS the cease-fire deadline passed, there was no word here as to eff fectiveness of the truce.
 It was probable that some fight ing between Communist and gov ernment forces would continue, particularly in such areas as the Anshan Steel district where the rivals are wildly intermixed, but the threat cf full-scale civil war was gone at least for fortnight.
 Negotiators raced to accomplish a permanent peace during this brief period of grace. Top Communist leaders flew to their party head quarters at Yenan, seeking quick guidance for the vital conferences.
 Most observers in Nanking agree that the new truce represents Chinas last chance to end her IS years of fighting. If the two fac- tions cannot submerge their differ ences now, with Marshall as media tor, they are unlikely to have an- other such opportunity.

 eriean, British View

NEW YORK, June 7.-The Unit ed States and British delegates to the United Nations Security Coun- cil looked to their home govern ments today for instructions on what stand to take toward the Council subcommittee's controver- sial proposal for collective dip lomatic break with Franco Spain next September.
 The proposal was presented to the Council yesterday by Dr. Her. bert V. Evatt of Australia, sub committee chairman, amid a wary, unresponsive and almost complete silence among the delegates other than Evatt and two council mem bers of the subcommittee.
 It. was authoritatively reported unacceptable in it's present form to both Britain and the United States. For different reasons Rus sia also is opposed to it.
 Any of the Big Three could veto the subcommittee report but there were indications that nter-delega- tion maneuverings were going on, with the Council in recess until next week, to determine whether agreement could be reached by modify the proposal.
 One delegation spokesman, who declined to be Identified acknow- ledged the difficulties involved in any attempt to reconcile the re- port with the British and American viewpoint that the Franco Regime does not menace peace and that a break with Madrid would deprive them of vital insight into Span ish affairs.

WASHINGTON, June 7.-Paci- fic coast shipowners said today they will not talk terms here with two CIO unions involved in the mid-June maritime strike threat because their contracts do not ex- pire until Sept. 30.
 The shipowners said they would make settlement offer to third west coast union. the Marine fire men, but not to the CIO marine engineers or the cooks and stew ards.
 The latter two presented bulky, detailed demands last night and asked settlement by June l5, said Gregory Harrison, attorney for the Pacific-American Shipowners As- sociation.
 Wen tell them we don't intend to clutter up the record here and waste precious time talking about contracts that won't expire for four months,p Harrison told a re- porter.
 Proposals Not Seen
 None of the ship operators we represent has seen the proposals, and it would be physically impos- sible to negotiate them before the strike deadline."
 reviously, in an officially-auth- orized statement, 1t had been re- ported that the operators would prepare proposal to be submitted to each of the unions later in the day.
 These simultaneous developments came during a recess in the east and west coast shipowners' confer ences with the seyen-unicn, all- coast committee for maritime unity:
