|Austin Favors Better
IL. n. Participation
Rather Than Revision

World leaders must set their sights
on improving participation in the
! United Nations rather than on re-
visions in the organizations charter.
This was the message of Warren
R. Austin, American delegate to the
United Nations. in accepting an
honorary degree for distinguished
public service from American Uni
versity at commencement exercises
for 100 graduates of the university
last night.
Mr.. Austin said U. N. members
have not yet lived up to the limits
of the charter and that "our present
problem is not so much to improve
the charter as to improve the quail
ity of participation of the members.
without accord among the most
powerful members, the objective Of
peace cannot be attained, he de-
clared, adding:
"An association of states that may
be able to agree easily is no substi-
tute for an association Of all nations
The easy agreement among
members within two Or three blocs
would lead inevitably to the hard
ships of war while the dificult
agreement among greatly differing
states in one United Nations will
lead. however tortuously, to the
blessings of peace"
At the ceremony. the university
also conferred degrees Of Doctor OF
Letters on Norman Cousins, editor
of the Saturday Review of Litera-
ture, and Doctor Of DivirAty on
Emory Stevens Bucke Of Boston,
editor of Zion's Herald. Mr.. Cousins
called on the United States to call
a general conference of U. N. men,
bers to make an inventory Of its
accomplishments and failures.
A reception for Mr.. Austin was
held after the exercises by Presi-
dent Paul F. Douglass Of the uni

Guarded Peace Fee|er
Reported Put Out by
Greek Guerrilla Radio
BY the Assoeioted Press

ATHENS, June 1.-The Greek
Army general staff said today
It intercepted a guerrilla radio
broadcast last night in which
rebel peace overtures were made
The general staff said the broad
east quoted the provisional govern
ment Of Greece" as saying 1t die
not aim to prevail by force.
The radio message, said the gen.
. eral stan, declared Markos Vafiades
leader of the guerrillas and head Of
the so-called provisional govern
ment, Is always ready to accept
and encourage any initiative coming
from anywhere" which would lead
to peace.
Such a peace, the radio broadcast
reportedly said, would be only under
the condition there would be nc
foreign interference
Propaganda Demands Repeated.
The broadcast-in Morse code
; included demands for the demo
cratic rights of the people" and
national independence. These lat
ter demands are frequently used In
routine Communist propaganda.
I'VE are trying to stop the blood
which is being shed in Greece be-
cause 1t Is our own blood" the gen.
eral staff quoted the broadcast
"If, however, -Fascists in
Athens do not show they are stop
ping bloodshed in the country then
We have the power to impose upon
them and their American and
British patrons the interests OF the
people of Greece"
The broadcast repeatedly cautioned
that TRAITORS in Athens would be
mistaken If they present these pro-
, posals as a sign Of weakness"
In addition, the guerrilla broad
cast was reported as saying that the
provisional democratic government
is always ready to make every pos
sible concession which national and
popular party interests would per-
NIT"
Observers expressed curiosity over
the release of the guerrilla state
ment in Morse code and not in a
regular voicecast. Some believed
Morse was used expressly for gov
ernment interception and reaction,
and that it was not intended for
the followers of Vafiades until the
Greek government reaction is known.
Greek nationalist forces are re-
ported poised to launch the biggest
offensive of the war against the
guerrillas.
Both Allied and Greek military
leaders have expressed confidence
that the back Of rebel resistance will
be broken by the end of the summer
or by early fall. This feeling was
given strength by recent successes
against guerrillas.
There was continuing speculation
that the guerrillas are being gradu-
ally abandoned by their neighbors
to the north. There have been re-
ports that the volume of supplies
across the .nortern borders into
Greece has d%indled during the past
few weeks.
Veteran observers looked on the
broadcast as a guerrilla attempt to
obtain the best peace terms possible
II terms are not satisfactory, these
observers said, the guerrillas may
move into Yugoslavia, Albania and
Bulgaria, creating temporary
truce.
Observers also believe that 1t Is
almost a certainty that the gov
ernment will not negotiate with
Vafiades, since it is convinced its
American supplied equipment Is suf-
ficient to suppress the rebellion.

officers to sign non Communist

Hartley Act.
In a nationwide referendum, re-
suits of which were disclosed yes

opposed filing the oaths as condi-
ton for recognition by the National

law suit to have the provision
ruled unconstitutional.
The suit was turned down by a
Federal Court on technicality.
When the issue was put to vote.
however, Mr.. Curran voiced support
for the proposal. He said he still
didn't like the provision, but he ia
vored signing the oaths because
