Refusal to Support World
League May Mean the Loss
Of Voting Rights to Nations
By Douglas
SAN FRANCISCO, May 30.
may be the price of refusal of any United Nation to support
a new world league with its military resources.
This possibility developed at the United Nations conference
today when a committee reported to its .parent commission that
this penalty is under consideration and may be adopted. . I
The bulk of the committee
the structure and procedure for
a projected general assembly of
all nations in the world organiza
tion, was approved alnset auto
matically at the second, public
meeting of a conference commis
sion. Russia, however, blocked accept
ance of a formula for electing the
top administrative officer of the
world organization, explaining she
had taken the matter up with the
conference steering committee and
wanted action deferred pending
a reply.
Committees Work
As nine working committees
ground ahead on the job of draft
ing various portions of a charter
for the world organization, it be
came known that:
1. The American delegation is
leaning toward the idea of includ
ing in this charter terms of the
Atlantic chater's promises of ac
cess by all nations, "on equal
terms, to the trade and to the raw
materials of the world which are
needed for their economic pros
perity." 2. Denmark, apparently assured
Jof a belated invitation to the con
ference table, has three delegates
scheduled to arrive here tomor
row. ' They are Henrick Kauff
mann, minister to Washington, and
Hartvig Srisch and E. Husfeldt.
3. French desires to maintain
(1) a Franco-Soviet pact aimed at
Germany and (2) her independ
ence of action in Europe have giv
en added weight to an old issue
of regional security.
British, Reds Collide
4. Britain and Russia have col
lided head on over a Soviet desire
to eliminate from a plan for in
ternational rule of dependent and
strategic areas a declaration that
trusteeships should not apply to
existing mandates (from World
War I) without the consent jof the
nation holding the mandate; Brit
ish" delegates also were reported
ready to battle a Russian sugges
tion that dependent people be
specifically offered the hope of
ultimate independence.
The conference itself will have
to decide the trusteeship question
if the Russians and British; are un
able to reconcile differences in
big-five deliberations.

WASHINGTON, May 30.-P)-
Military demands for cotton tex
tiles and leather products are
greater now than they were for
a two-front war,; the government
said today in predicting a tighter
pinch. ::i ii I '
Requirements for these materials
are at a record high, said war
production board chairman J. A.
Krug, who also ; painted, a bleak
outlook on supplies of wool tex
tiles and knit goods. ; i
Krug reported that in textiles
the problem is I mainly , a . manpower-
shortage,! complicated by
the attraction of Workers to higher
paying industries. j !
Military allocations for shoes
and other leather items for the
current and third quarters have
been 30 per cen above the 1944
use rate, the production chief said.
He added that since "the basic
difficulty is a lack of Sufficient
hide supplies,'! the increased mili
tary allotments must be at the
expense of civilian, industrial and
export claims, j i
The shift to a one-front war,
Krug said, requires a substantial
amount of ' clothing materials to
"fill the pipelines to the Pacific"
for "soldiers who must fight un
der varying climatic conditions.'

around the captured Wawa dam
east of Manila, killed more than
200 of the enemy.
? Fifth air force fighters con tin
tied their near-record support of
Luzon ground operations, drop
ping 510 tons, of bombs in more

ONthe HOME FR01IT
By ISABEL CHILDS
The gaunt, sunbrowned woman
smoothed the- print jersey jof her
dress. Somehow It seemed a little
short for her. Maybe because she
was not so sum-hipped as the
bright-eyed- young thing 'sitting
beside the soldier; host ahead. That
girl must have known about the
burgundy and blue plush ; covers
on the little stage's high-backed
seats. The chalk : line blue of her
hair ribbon just matched.
j I ;-..rf---I
Length of skirts always seem
more noticeable when one's anm
are empty, she . thoughts Beside
her the woman whose hair was the
color of the rippling silver heads
of barley (or was' it bearded
wheat?) beside the hill road crad
led a parcel of heavy-headed roses
and sword fern.il I : : ...-
The rpineys" Weren't good this
year, probably because of the late
rains, the seat partners agreed
Memorial day somehow j would
seem like any other day in late
May without "pineys? or snow
balls or rose. Here I the j silver-
haired woman looked m bit sharply
at the- empty hands beside her.
But the gaunt woman didn't no
tice for her eye were on a field
of crimson clover, just the shade
of the dress little Jean had liked
so well. The crimson had been
lovely with ecru Uuje, but the
dungarees of an army nurse's
field garb apparently- held as
much appeal and the gaunt wo
man smiled. ii 1
, V- I ;
"Wild pink roses,H she said to
herself. "It sounds like poetry,
but back in Iowa we'd have said
pink wildroses 'tisn't near so
pretty." The roses in Iowa, clam
bering over railroad embankment
and highway's edge, had given
their name to the clipped green
sward she would have visited to
day had she not come! west when
the children were smau.
Now the road to the mountains
lay between old houses and well
kept lawns. All the passengers on
the left side of the bus gasped ax
a field of tangled scarlet poppies
gone wild. They would never be
anything but "Flanders poppies'
to the sunbrowned woman who
had not given up trying to imag
ine under just which white cross
planted "row on row" -kind hands
had laid the shattered body . of
her Iowa farm boy.
Her brown, calloused ; hands
smoothed the flowered fabric of
her dress. Not a might too short!
Perhaps the grey-haired Woman
thought' her silly,' chuckling aloud,
wearing short skirts and pink
nail polish. Jeanie had teased her
about "perpetual youth" but the
farm boy wasn't really in Flan
ders field. Beside her, still fresh
from school and parental restric
tions, he kept Jier young, too.
V I I
Now the roadsides were golden
with broom; here wild columbine
stood straight among the tall
grasses and harsh blue bachelor
buttons. Joey had loved bachelor
buttons. Africa had many wild
flowers, he had written, but she
had never heard what the Philip
pines might offer. I
V- '
Ashamed not to - have heard
what her seatmate was saying, the
sunbrowned woman turned in
time to catch the final sentence:
"I suppose those of you who
haven't graves to take; flowers to
are fortunate in a "way there's
nothing to make you Remember.
