He said he had no specific recommendations in mind and the exact date of the meeting has not been decided.

Schlesinger in which he picked 10 events he regarded as having the greatest impact on the first half of the 20th century. (Professor Schlesinger chose the emergency of the United States as a dominant world power as' number one. His other nomin ations were World War I, the political emancipation of wo men, the depression, the League of Nations, the United Nations, atomic energy, World War II, the abandonment of colonial im perialism and the emergency of Russia as the second dominant world power. (Today's dispatch is based on selections made for the UP by Bernard Baruch.) New York, Dec. 20 (U.R) Elder Statesman Bernard Baruch be lieves the most Important devel opment of the first half of the 20th century was the advance of more than 20 years In the life expectancy of man. Replying to a United Press poll of distinguished citizens whose careers have spanned the first B0 years of the century, Baruch emphasized the social, ethical and economic problems posed by present day longevity. Number two on Baruch's list was the first World War. He added that he did not think there was a proper grasping of the re sults of that conflict, and as to World War II, which was third on his list, Baruch said It was "preventable" and that no . les ions were learned from it or from the lirat war either. "Man's loss of confidence In himself and man's "Turning too much to the state instead of him self" was listed as the eighth most Important development of the century. Here is a text of the reply which Baruch sent In long-hand from his home In South Caro lina: "1. Advance of over 20 years in the life expectancy with all the social, ethical and economic problems. "2. First World War. No grasping of results, especially the advance of the masses who went on the treks toward a Jus tifiable demand of ameliora tion of their condition and the hope for peace. "3. Second World War (un necessary war) preventable If steps taken no lessons learned from It or first war. "4. Advent of atomic energy 1 with possibilities for peace or war. "5. Woodrow Wilson's new Ireedom. "6. League of Nations and United Nations. Evidences of man's yearning for peace. "7. Birth of communistic and police state Hitler Mussolini Tojo Stalin. "8. Man's loss of confidence in himself and turning too much to state instead of himself. Too great swing from laissez faire to regulate everything. "9. The many conquests of physical laws but increasing in ability to adapt ourselves to complex economic laws or them to us. "10. Advance in education without the disciplines to make use of greater knowledge which is so often misinterpreted and presented as wisdom when it is frequently words without convictions or char acter."
