Arab Delegate To
Security Parley
Raps French Acts ,
SAN FRAN CISCO, June 20
(UP) Egyptian delegate Abdel
Hamid Badawi Pasha, speaking
in behalf of the Arab league at
a public session of the United
Nations conference, today de
nounced France for recent "acts
of aggression" against Syria.
The Freeh delegate, Maurice
Le Jean, tried in vain to have
the Egyptian delegate called to
order but oemmission chairman
Wilhelm Morgenstierne of Nor
way declined to do so on ground
it would unduly delay proceed
ings. The inlro-family row among
United Nations broke into the
open during consideration of the
world charter chapter which as
sures France a permanent seat
on the proposed world security
council.
Spain Denied Seat
It was the second successive
day that contemporary world
problem overshadowed the tech
nical wurk of drafting a world
charter. Generalissimo Francis
co Franco of Spain was roundly
denounced last night before a
commission which voted unanim
ously to blacklist Spain from
membership in the United Na
tions while Franco is in control.
Badwai brought up the recent
French-Syrian crisis by asserting
that the Arab states would have
been justified in opposing eleva
tion of France to the role of a
great power.
Australian Foreign Minister
Herbert V. Evatt was standing
firmly against accepting the new
Russian proposal to nairow the
powers of the general assembly
to talk, but the big five were
confident of winning a solution
of that issue very soon possibly
before tonight's public session of
tlu commission on the assembly.

Security Parley 1
Speedup Sought By
President Truman
, OLYMPIA, Wash., June 20
(UP) President Truman, resting
in the northwest, today sought to
have the United Nations confer
ence at San Francisco end Satur
day on schedule, but he appeared
to be having little success.
In (act, the president was pre
pared to extend hi visit here un
til soniqtime early next week
while he awaits the completion
of 'a vast, iast-minute pile-up of
paper. w,ork at the conference.
If the president remains on the
west coast until next Monday or
Tuesday which now seems to be
the most likely date for the con
ference to end it will mean the
postponement of his date in
Washington next Monday with
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New
York, the 1 044 Republican presi
dential candidate.
It also will mean that the pres
ident will go direct from San
Francisco to homecoming cele
brations at Independence, Mo.,
and Kansas City on June 27 and
June 28.
The president was in frequent
contact with San Francisco and
was constantly urging that the
conference be brought to an end
because he is anxious to present
the final charter to the senate
for consent, to ratification as soon
as possible'.
The presidents schedule today
contained only two brief engage
ments the presentation of the
congressional medal of honor to
a hero fq the northwest, and a
reception for state officials. Oth
erwise, he was taking it easy.
