Schwarzkopf 10 Leave
Iranian Police Post
For New Assignment
BY the Assoeioted Press

Brig. Gen. H. Norman Schwarz-
kopf soon will leave his post as
chief of the Iranian military police.
He will be reassigned to European
headquarters Of the American
Army.
The Army said today Gen.
schwarzkopf will leave Teheran
about June 20 for conferences in
Washington before reporting in
Europe. His successor at Teheran
will be named later.
Gen. Schwarzkopf, a West Point
graduate, formerly was superin-
tendent of New Jersey State Police.
In 1888 he was a leading lnvestl-
gator Of the kidnap-slaying of the
infant son of Col Charles A. Lind
bergh.
The late President Roosevelt
assigned Gen. Schwarzkopf to the
Iran gendarmerie mission at the
request of the Iranian government
IN 1912.
Iran was cooperating with the
Allies in providing a lend-lease
route to Russia.
The Army said the American
Embassy in Teheran has proposed
to Iran that the gendarmerie mis-
sion be relieved of executive duties.
It would conflne itself to advisory
functions similar to those of the
United States mission to the 1ranlan
Army.
Mrs. Schwarzkopf will join their
three children, now attending school
in Geneva, Switzerland, until the

vessel is reported to be above water.

Government plant scientists be-
lieve they have found safe way
of doubling the longevity Of Wash
ington's famed japanese cnerry
blossoms for next years festival.
! Realizing the significance of re-
cent tests conducted in the National
Capital Parks with applications of
certain growth regulating COM
pounds, park officials were hopeful
of extending the annual cherry
blossom festivals over two week ends
for the enjoyment of 100000
visitors.
Successful preliminary tests made
with timely spraying applications,
disclosed in report made public by
the National Capital Parks ONCE,
demonstrated the possibility Of pro-
longing for about one week the
Towering period of three varieties
of the japanese trees. The tests
were conducted by Horace V. WeSter,
plant pathologist of Mop, and DR..
Paul c. Marth, plant physiologist
of the Agriculture Department.
I'VE are intensely interested and
excited by the success of these
experiments" Harry T. Thompson,
assistant superintendent OF the
parks. explained. I'VE thought 1t
might be possible to surprise the
public in preparing for a double
feature showing of the blossoms
next Easter season"
Mr.. Thompson said that more
extensive experiments" will be con-
Quoted next spring while the cherry
trees are blooming, for it appears
that is the best time to do the
spraying. Usually visitors can ex-
pect a good display of the blossoms
for from to 10 days.
| I'VE anticipate that next year,
depending on conditions, the festival
can be extended to two weeks. he
said. perhaps that may bring
twice as many as the usual 100000
visitors to the parks.
In their report on recent tests, the
two Government scientists disclosed
that the growth control compound
used are equally effective in pro-
longing the life of dogwood blossoms,
of which there are many fine dis
plavs in Washington each spring.
Applied to the various types OF
Towering Japanese cherry trees IN
the local parks, the tests proved
successful in treating the kWanzan
and Shiro-fugen types and an ap-
parent seeding form OF the Yoshlno
variety. The two former types are
the double pink Towering varieties,
while the Yoshino type is a single
white to pale pink Towering form.
The doule pink variety is prom
inently planted in East Potomac
Park. the report stated. The
Yoshino, or single white Towering
form, is planted around the Tidal
Basin.
The tests indicated the best time
to apply the growth regulators Is
soon after the flowers opened,
rather than before the BUDS are
broken. The tests were conducted
during the comparatively cool
Towering season this past spring
According to the report, the treat
ments may not be as effective IN q
warmer season.
During the extended Towering
period, the petals of the japanese
cherry trees gradually became
somewhat withered, but neverthe-
less usually appeared attractive from
distance for about one week
longer than usual" the report said.

ator said, as he went on to explain
the resolution contemplates only
such regional agreements as are
permitted within the UN charter
but outside of the Veto"
In reporting the resolution unani-
mously, with State Department
backing, the Foreign Relations Com
mittee made it clear that its passage
will not commit the United States
to any specific regional defense
agreements.
If worked out later, they will have
to be ratified by the Senate, like all
treaties.
Need Is Emphasized.
But Senator Vandenberg stressed
the Importance of passing this reso-
luton to let the world know what
this country's general hopes are for
a stronger U. NJ, and for such ar
ranaements as will make peace more
certain until the U. N. has the means
of preventing aggression.
Senator Vandenberg, whose posi-
ton as a dark-horse possibility for
the Republican presidential nomi-
nation has grown steadily in recent
months, said American co-opera-
ton in regional defense pacts must
be a supplement to, never a substi-
tute for, their own defenSeS.
The Senator said the agreements
contemplated by this resolution
would be like the Rio treaty which
the Senate already has approved.

the Senator continued.

we can not escape those obligations
by declining this resolution"
He summed up his argument by
predicting that an aggressor is less
likely to run the risk of ignoring
the obligations of peaceful settle
ment of disputes if the United
States makes its position clear by
such q resolution.
Senator Vandenberg praised tht

2. Progressive development Of re-

5. Join In efforts to provide the
U. N. with the armed forces con-
templated in the charter and to OBJ
tain agreement among member ma

of armaments with suitable guar
antees.
6. If necessary, after adequate ef-
fort toward strengthening the U. NJ,
seek a review OF the charter at an
appropriate time.
The program, Endorsed by admin
istration officials, is being put forth
in the form of q simple Senate
resolution which means 1t would
not have the force of law.
Backers of present foreign policy
are anxious to get vote on it be-
fore adjournment, however, to put
the world on notice that the Senate
which controls American treaty
making power, is ready to cooperate
for mutual defense with the nations
it now is helping economically.
The House Foreign Affairs Com
mittee also has recommended ar
almost identical declaration of policy
but its proposal is in the form of q
bill, because it also seeks to make
SOS ,000. 900 available to build the
new United Nations home in New
York City.
The building fund will require
action by both houses and the Pres
ident's signature. Even though the
Senate may adopt the Vandenberg
resolution separately today or to-
morrow, it is probable that before
adjournment the two houses will
agree jointly on the similar state
ment of U. N. objectives in the

The draft of the proposed con-

ton: I'VE. the people ="
The Israeli draft has not yet
been finally ratified, but it may
be assumed, with things moving
as speedily as they are in Israel,
that 1t will not take as long to
adopt the Israeli constitution as
1t took the United States to adpot
its own.

member all the controversy of
that day with respect to the Con-
stitution and everything else
about the making Of the new ma
ton. it should teach us not to be
too worried when we hear of
controversy in and about Israel.
Some of the delegates to the
Philadelphia convention in 1887
left in the middle of the conven-
ton, feeling sure that it would be
impossible to reach an agreement.
The aged Franklin who had never
been much of religious man Of
fered a motion that the sessions
of the convention be opened with
prayer, in the hope that somehow
this would be conducive to har-
mony. If a sparrow cannot fall,
save it be by God, said Franklin,
we recall that this same Franklin
as boy was very economical of
prayer-he suggested to his faith
er that prayer be recited before
the barrel of sausage instead of
before each individual dish-we
may possibly get some realization
of the difficult situation at Phil
adelphia.
When the convention finally
succeeded in mastering sufficient
votes to adopt the draft. the end
of the battle was still a long way
off. The Constitution had to be
ratified by each of the thirteen
original states and every line of
it was microscopicallY dissected.
In the attack. no holds were bar
red. In Massachusetts, criticism
was levelled at it on the ground
that it contained no mention OF
God. A preacher delegate offered
this criticism. A lawyer delegate
