Washington, Feb. 21 tPi Diplo
matic quarters believed today that
France will accept a partnership
In the San Francisco security con
ference despite differences be
tween President Roosevelt and
Gen. Charles De Gaulle.
The conference, scheduled to be
gin April 25, will seek to lay the
groundwork for international co
operation in years to come. French
I refusal to participate, It was said,
f could seriously threaten France's
role in shaping future world de
velopments. Washington, London and Mos
cow are awaiting word from Paris
on two points. These are (1) her
approval of the voting procedure
developed for the new league of
nations by the "Big Three" at the
Crimea conference, and (2) her de
cision on the invitation to attend
the San Francisco meeting where
air the United Nations will discuss
that formula and other Droblems
connected with new world peace
mamillary.
De Gaulle Antrv
Lacking a better exDlanatlon.
(diplomatic circles were inclined to
write off French delay as a re
flection of De Gaulle's pique at
being excluded from the Crimea
conference and at Roosevelt's In
ability to visit France after the
IBig Three" meeting.
1 The White House revealed that
Roosevelt had expressed regret
tot De Gaulle because he could not
gett to Paris but that he had in
tuitn asked the French leader to
meet him In Algiers. He refused,
the White House said, and Roose
velt was "most disappointed."
Although France was not repre
sented at me urimea conference,
shci was not overlooked. The "Big
Three" reached several major po
litical agreements with the ex
pectation that France would par
ticipate in their operation. For
example, she was reserved a seat
oti tne council that will control and
ccupy Germany.
Clarification Asked
The state department said ves-
:erday that France had asked for
and received a clarification of the
Crimean report. This was under
stood to concern the declaration
on liberated areas, which proposed
that France join Britain, Russia
ar.'d united States in taking re
sponsibility for smooth political
developments in the freed areas.
A spokesman for the French
embassy Indicated last night, how-
t ever, tnat rTench dissatisfaction
and uncertainty still exist. France,
he said, still has received no defi-

It is natural, he said, that
France desires the full facts about
world security proposals before
accepting a share of the respon

France was hot a participant, in

important "rocker" beneath his
sergeant's stripes, added while he
was still 18 years old.
Leland, a former Bulletin car
rier boy, said yesterday that, while
he was always scared over the
target the time he was scared the
worst when when his B-17 stopped
so much flak that the base wrote
it off as "missing." It wasn't miss
ing long, though, and landed with
over 70 holes shot In it.
A ball-turret gunner, the ser
geant enlisted in July. 1943. and.

Stassen Expected
To Support Plans
For World Peace
By Lyte C. Wilson
(UottW Fiw Staff Corrwpondent)
Washington, Feb. 21 HP Presl-
dent Roosevelt was taking no visi
ble risk of opposition when he
made Lt. Cmdr Harold E. Stassen
one of the three republican mem
bers of the American delegation to
the San Francisco conference.
That conference meets on April
25. It is to set up a permanent
postwar United Nations organiza
tion to maintain peace by armed
force, Including some of ours. Stas
sen Is for that.
He used tQ be governor of Min
nesota and he sought the 1944
republican presidential nomina
tion. He Is now a staff officer to
Adm; William F. Halsey, Jr., com
mander of the Third United States
fleet, and is in Washington tem
porarily with Halsey. In a navy
department press conference yes
terday, stassen practically ac
knowledged his candidacy for the
1948 G.O.P. nomination.
Balks At Statement
But he balked at discussions of
his ideas of a postwar world or
ganization, explaining that he
would make a public statement on
that at some future date prior to
the conference. It is not necessary
to await that statement since
Stassen is definitely on record and
in no uncertain language. He has
made a number of statements of
his ideas on foreign policy. As
revealing as any is that of Jan. 7,
1943, in Minneapolis before the
Foreign Policy association.
There Stassen proposed a per
manent federation of United Na
tions complete with legislative, ex
ecutive and judicial branches but
with powers limited to specified
objectives. This permanent or
ganization he said, should possess
a mobile land army, a navy and
an air force. These would enforce
the federation's code of. laws
which, in turn, would be designed
to stimulate world trade and main
taint the freedom of the air and of
the seas.
Stassen Quoted
"We must keep our sights high
and maintain a world-wide vision
to win an enduring people's
peace," Stassen told the Minneap
olis audience. "America, peopled
by the sons and daughters of every
nation of the world, can and must
furnish leadership in meeting this
challenge."
Stassen's federation and the
Dumbarton Oaks plan for a post
war United Nations organization
are not identical. But they are
sufficiently similar to assure
Roosevelt of Stassen's support for
BEND BULietlN, BEND, OREGON, WEbNESDAV, FEB. 21,
the objectives sought. Stassen's
federation legislature would con
sist of a single house or parlia
ment. Its membership would be
fixed on the basis of the number
of - literate persons among . the
populations of member nations,
subject to certain modifications.
These modifications would give
increased representation to na
tions in some proportion to the
sum of their money contribution
to the federation. But a nation's
resources, or ability to contribute,
also would be considered. Each
nation would select Its own repre
sentatives. Bend Takes Lead
In Radar Signups
Enlistment records for the last
nine months were shattered in the
Oregon navy recruiting district in
January with the enrolling of 353
17-year-old volunteers, Lt. Cmdr.
John F. Biehler, officer in charge
of the main station in Portland,
has reported to Chief Specialist
Paul Connet, recruiter in charge
of the Central Oregon substation,
Bend.
Previous high point was last
April, when 369 enlistees were
signed. Figures do not include
men who have voluntarily been in
ducted into the navy, the recruit
ing officer declared.
Enlistments in the navy's radar
training program showed a sub
stantial increase over the previ
ous several months, it was re
ported. Few states have made a
more impressive record than Ore
eon, Cmdr. Biehler stated, on a
per capita basis, but manv more
thousands of recruits in tnis vital
phase of war are needed.
Whole State Included -Eastern
Oregon has been re-
turned to the Portland recruiting
district with the decommissioning
of Spokane as a main station. The
Portland area again includes the
whole of Oregon.
Klamath Falls won honors
among the substations in January
competition, with Eugene, Corval
lis and Salem finishing In that or
der with little difference in their
percentage.. The Klamath Falls
station turned in the biggest
monthly total of 17-year-old volun
teers in its career.
Bend took iirst honors in pro
curement of radar technician
trainees, Corvallis led in combat
aircrewman enlistments, Eugene
was ahead in Seabee recruits, and
Corvallis, Salem and Astoria tic
in Wave enlistments.
DOG IS POISONED
Archibald Stuart, 1305 Albany
avenue, today reported to Bend
ponce tnat someone had poisoned
his valuable pup. This brings
the total of dog poisonings in re
cent weeks to nearly a score, ac
cording to police records.

Read Many Books
Pupils of Deschutes county
schools have toppled an all-time
high of library books read and are
about to set a new record, Miss
Eleanor Brown, county librarian,
said today. From Sept. 5, 1944
through January, 1945, a total of
17,068 books were borrowed by
county school children. This es
tablishes an all-time high for the
school year with four months yet
to go. The previous record, 17,
034, was established during the
calendar school year of 1939.
During the school year, 1943-44
a total of 16,380 county library
books were borrowed by Deschut
es county school children.
Miss Brown stated today that
a remarkable contrast was es
tablished last month as against
January of last year. Last month
school children borrowed 6,065
books. A year ago they took
home just 1,486. The increase
she believes, is due to a long pro
gram of training children to bor
row books and of making the
books available to them.
Fignrci Given
An even more marked contrast
was shown September, 1944, as
compared with the previous year.

warming picture that will

Children took home 3,091 books
last September. In September,
1943 they took home 575. Miss
Brown pointed out that the li
brary was under-sta'ffed during
the summer of 1943 and thus did
not have books prepared for
young borrowers when the county
schools opened. Last fall the
books were distributed to schools
and ready to be loaned out on
opening day.
Collections of county library
books are shifted from school to
school about once a month, Miss
Brown added. New books are
also distributed to the schools
nearly every month.
