Delegates Puzzled
BY American Move
In u. n. on Veto
BY the Associated Press

LAKE SUCCESS. Aug. 2S.-A new
United States maneuver in the
United Nations veto battle had Sc
curity Council delegates frankly
puzzled today.
Herschel w. johnson. American
deputy, suddenly laid before the
Council late yesterday two-page
document tagged as Draft Rules OF
Procedure of the Security Council
Relating to Voting, Proposed by the
United States"
After it had been batted around
in solemn debate Mr.. johnson finally
said it was "just ball tossed in
the ring"
Andrei A. Gromyko, Russia, con-
sistent defender of the veto and its
greatest user, jumped into the fight
Immediately with a statement that
that he suspected the United States
was trying to amend the U. N.
Charter.
Gromyko Is Skeptical.
1t was evident that Mr.. Gromyko
felt the American paper was an at
tempt TO dodge such questions as
his veto on the proposed Balkans
border watch commission-despite
American insistence that there were
no such "jokers" hidden in the docu-
ment.
Such attempts, Mr.. Gromyko
warned, we're foredoomed to failure
Then Mr.. johnson answered that
the United States points had been
put forward only for discussion.
He agreed with Mr.. Gromyko that
the principles of the Charter are
fundamental but that the Charter
Is only statement of principles
"All law should grow" he added.
After some discussion, the dele.
gates gave up trying to figure out
what the American paper meant ano
handed the whole veto issue over tt
their committee of experts, which
means group Of junior members
of their stats. The vote to pass il
along was 7 to 0, with Colombia
Poland, Russia, Australia abstaining
Denies Offering Proposal.
After the meeting Mr.. johnson in
sisted that his was not a formal
American paper, not proposal, but
just some ideas on voting procedure.
A spokesman for the American
delegation acknowledged the COM
plicated paragraphs might have
been written by some person trained
in the most intricate phrases of the
law.
One point in the paper said that
decisions relating to appointment
of any committee or commission
should be by majority vote of
seven members and not subject to
veto.
The delegation spokesman said
this was not intended to dodge any
veto in the past. such as the Soviet
veto of the Balkans border watch
commission. That point, he said, was
covered in the next paragraph.
Courtesy Issue Weighed.
The next paragraph specified the
veto also would not apply on "all
other decisions of the Security
Council not involving its taking di-
rect measures in connection with

Of those on relief.
Ray L. Huff, director of the De-
partment of Public Welfare, said

terday that 1t was impossible at
this time to ascertain just how much
moriey had been cut in grants for
public assistance.
The work of reviewing the relief
cases was begun on August Is, at

lowed Kon-Tiki Raft
Weathers Storm
BY Thor HeyerdohI
North American Newspaper Ailiones

ABOARD THE TAMARA, En-
Route to Tahiti, Aug. 26 Delayed.
The Kon-Tiki raft, now being
towed behind this small French
naval vessel, has managed to sur
vive a rather severe storm without
breaking her tow ropes again.
This was largely due to the ex-
pert plotting of the Tamara's cap
tain, who skillfully led his ship and
the raft through two narrow open
ings in reefs of the Tuamotu Archi-
pelago in the face of rising winds
and dangerous cross currents.
1t was important that we get
outside the reefs before the full
| force of the blow hit us, since there
was little room to maneuver In the
area. Through the captains dex-
terity in getting us past the reefs,
we were 100 miles at sea before the
ocean rose to dangerous heights.
We finally had to shut off all en-
gines and drift for ~ hours before
we could safely plow into the waves
again. We could have been lost If
the Tuamotu reefs had been near
us at that time.
The schooner Maovae, which went
on ahead of us because Of short
ened food supply, was safe In
Papeete before the storm broke.
This was fortunate, since the
Maovae's hull was badly damaged
when she ran aground at Raroia
reef late last week.
The seas have calmed now and we
are proceeding the remaining 100
miles to Papeete, the capital of
Tahiti, at regular speed. The Tam
ara, normally based at Papeete, was
sent out to pick us up after our raft
crashed into Raroia reef following
a 4,360-mile drift from Peru.

settlement of disputes, adjustment
of situations likely to lead to dis
putes, determination of threats to
peace, removal of threats to peace
and suppression of breaches of the
peace"
Faris el Khoury, Council presi-
dent, took a look at the paper and
said it would be better to list the
items subject to veto and not those
which are not subject to the veto.
The delegates worried briefly
about matter of courtesy to the
Assembly, which meets next month
The point was what to say about
what they had done with an
Assembly resolution of last Decem-
Der asking the Council to do some
thing about the veto.
Finally, they decided the COM
mittee of experts could worry with
the situation for a while and that
is where the whole thing ended.

 RAVENS NEAR HERE

While feeding the hungry ducks at Salmon Creek yesterday, two Pan American pilots, Capt. Dick Hawley and Bob Sloan, and also Ernie Whitehead, saw a raven kill two mallard ducks. The boys report that the ducks are in need of food at the present time and they lent hand to the situation Sunday by building a platform at the Salmon Creek pump station and floating it out on the water loaded with food for the starving fowl.
 The Territorial Sportsmen's Asso- citation is planning to send volun- teers to the outlying districts with food to insure the welfare of the ducks during the remaining winter months.

High Price Inquiry

When the republican majority took
over in Congress, following last Novem-
ber's elections, one of the chief prom
ises was that legislation that would halt
the spiraling cost of living. Now that
the session is about to end, the Senate
Banking Committee belatedly approves
a bill providing for immediate congress
sional investigation Of high prices.
Should the Senate and the House
pass the measure before adjournment,
the plan is to set up a remember sub
committee of the Joint Economic Com
mittee, with a hundred thousand dollar
expense account, whose chief duty
would be, as the United Press phrases
it, ito expose and eliminate profiteer-
ing and other factors contributing to
the high cost of living" The sub
committee, presumably would be ready
to report it's findings upon the opening
of the next session.
Meanwhile the American public will
have to pay through the nose for all
consumer goods and many thousands
will either just pull through Or actually
founder financially. It is a strange
anomoly that the richest country in the
world whose earners are better paid
than workers anywhere else, tens of
thousands of the citizens are compel.
ed to spend their entire revenues to
pay for actual necessities. There is
something radically wrong with oul
economies.
One of the things radically wrong
with our national economy is the high
cost of government. It is the Siamese
twin Of the high cost of living.
According to Mr.. Archibald L. NJ
Virgins, Undersecretary of the Treas.
ury, the United States government
costs the nations taxpayers $4,000 q
minute. Mr.. Virgins notes that
$4,000 of this represents interest or
federal borrowings. 1s
If this proposed congressional inves.
tigation leads to remedial measures at.
fecting the people tax bill alone it will
have accomplished much. 1t is to be
hoped that where the present Congress
has failed, the next will do better.

he is also a man of good judgment, not
only in area affairs but national as
well.
He says the committee may be call
ed into session next fall even if Con-
gress is not reassembled in extraordi-
nary session. The group will be care
fully observing just how the bill works
out, and can take up whatever prob
LENS arise, one by one."
That it's work will be hard goes
without saying, for the Taft-Hartley
act will call for the most exacting study

UNRRA Pays Dividend

vestment was left to each coun-
try. Their reports vary in COM
pleteness and accuracy.
Czechoslovakia's reports are
probably in best shape. This coun-
try has worked out a complete
two-year plan tor reinvestment of
the $265 million it hopes to re-
ceive from sale OF UNRRA sup
plies to its people. Approximately
a fourth of this sum will be spent
for goods that will be consumed
food, medical supplies, clothing
seed, livestock to build up the
meat supply.
But the other three-fourths will
81 into more or less permanent
public works power plants, gas,
water and sewage systems, roads
and railroads, telephone and tele-
graph lines. Public health will also
get a big share of the benefit
through reinvestment in hospitals,
clinics, maternity and child care
centers, sanitation S e r C e S to
rural districts.
In Italy, money received from
resale Of UNRRA supplies has
been put into a special Lire Fund.
1t is expected to reach $165 mil
lion. This has been budgeted to
go 40 per cent for housing, so per
cent to health and welfare serv-
ices, 10 per cent to agricultural
rehabilitation.
Poland got approximately $481
million worth of UNRRA aid. Most
of it wa given away as this coun-
try was one of the worst ravaged
Ey war. Only 1913 million was re-
ceived from sales and the pro-
ceeds made available for reinvest-
ment.
Most Of this went to re-equip
looted hospitals and clinics. Over
ST million was transferred to the
International Children's Fund,
World Health Organization and
ether voluntary relief organiza-
tons which took over when UN-
IRA pulled out of Warsaw June
80.
These are at best sketchy re-
ports from only three of the II
countries which UNRRA tried to
aid. Reports from some of the
others may never be available.
The point not to be lost sight
of is that by this sale and rein
vestment from a part of the sup
plies, UNRRA did more good than
the mere filling of an empty belly.
The result was that UNRRA was
able to declare a dividend and toss
it back into the business Of war
relief
