joyed" this morning when she saw the blue-eyed, black-haired

Quick Jap Peace
Tokyo, Feb. 3 (P) Canada's
external affairs Secretary Les
ter B. Pearson today urged a
quick peace for Japan with Rus
sia participating, if possible.
If Russia will not take part,
however, he suggested the al
lies should consider seriously
"a conference on a more limited
basis."
It was the opinion of Secre
tary Pearson that all nations
who fought against Japan should
attend the peace conference and
have a voice in its decisions.
, "That is the stumbling block
from the Russian point of view,"
he said.
. Russia has maintained the Ja
pan peace treaty should be the
province of the Big Four foreign
ministers. The Big Four has
been the United States, Russia,
Britain and nationalist China,
which is tottering and is no
longer recognized by Russia or
England.
Secretary Pearson, returning
from the Colombo British com
monwealth conference, said he
would report on his attitude to
ward the Chinese communists
whom Canada has not yet rec
ognized. He indicated that he
felt any "government should
recognize the facts of a situa
tion." He commented that he had
noted those nations, including
Great Britain, which have rec
ognized the Chinese commun
ists, "didn't get a very warm re
ception." The U.S. Bureau of Reclama
tion had 3,600 miles of power
lines in operation in 1949, and
3,000 miles under construction.
Confession Had No Basis
Says Pal Who Knew Vet
Atlanta. Feb. 3 UP) A former soldier who served with a Nor
folk, Va., veteran who while
buddy said today he knows of no basis for the "confession.
Former Sgt. Carl R. Rackley of Atlanta said he had never
heard of Andrew Louis Blasko telling anyone Sgt. Jack Lemons
flogged German prisoners and
ran out on his platoon in action
Blasko, 25-year-old amputee,
dictated a confession as he lay
.early yesterday pinned beneath
the wreckage of his automobile
at Danville, Va.
He said:
"I want to clear him before
I kill myself."
Then, Blasko shot and killed
himself with a pistol.
In his confession, dictated to
John Tate, Danville, Va., Bee
photographer, Blasko said:
"I said that Sgt. Lemons flog
ged some German prisoners, that
he stole a jeep load of cognac,
and that he ran out on our pla
toon when 13 of us were captur
ed none of that is true."
Blasko signed his name to
the paper.
Rackley who is night auditor
at Atlanta's Piedmont hotel said
he was one of the 13 men cap
tured. "Lemons," he declared, "was
not captured because he had
been wounded a few minutes
-mother and weighs 4',4 ounces
less than eight pounds.
Rossellini paced the corridors
of the clinic while the baby was
being delivered at 7 p.m. yes
terday. This morning he was
the first visitor permitted to see
the Swedish star.
4 C
Nurses and Dr. Pier Luigi
Guidotti, who assisted at the
birth, said Rossellini told them
"I am very happy that it is a
boy."
Rossellini remained through
out the morning, cancelling plans
to go back to work outside Rome
where he is filming the life of
St. Francis of Assist.
Dr. Guidotti said that Miss
Bergman was "in excellent
health."
"She was very excited this
morning when we took her son
to her and was overjoyed to
hold him," the doctor said. "He
has blue eyes and dark hair
which looks like it might be
brown as soon as it takes on a
definite color."
A Catholic priest, Father Fe
lix A. Morlion, director of the
Pro Deo university of Rome, said
Rossellini was the father of the
child. He made the statement
shortly after the Italian film di
rector visited Miss Bergman and
har son this morning.
Father Morlion, who has been
giving spiritual counsel to Ros
sellini for some time, told a re
porter:
"As a Catholic priest I have
stressed that the duties of par
ents to the immortal soul in the
eyes of the church are no less
if the child is born out of a
legitimate union.
Catholics will learn with
Christian satisfaction that the
parents of the child born last
night have decided to give Cath
olic baptism and education to
the child, which can constitute
the first step towards obedience
to the laws of God."
Dr. Guidotti said Miss Berg
man's son weighed exactly 3
kilograms, or seven pounds, 11
ounces.

before and had crawled back
to our lines."
The action occurred, Rackley
said, near Brest, France, in the
summer of 1944.
"We had been sent up, about
150 yards ahead of our lines
to help some riflemen who want
ed machine guns to help capture
a tank trap.
"Lemons was slightly wound
ed. He had seen more combat
than the rest of us and I and
a few others insisted he go back.
"Fifteen minutes later the
Germans closed in on us and we
were taken. We never got a
chance to set up the machine
guns."
Rackley said he and Blasko
were freed four days later when
the Americans took Brest.
Rackley, Blasko and Lemons
served together, he said, until
Blasko was wounded in the
fighting along the Roer river
in Germany in December, 1944.
"Never," he said, "did I hear
Blasko tell anything on Lemons.
The guy loved Lemons."

1950 College Student Rated
Above Fish-Swallowing Level
Chicago. Feb. 3 (U.R) Colleges
turning out a type of graduate
fish swallowing ,or other "crazes" than were the students of a
decade or more ago, five deans
But they disagree on whether
one doubted that the changes-
is definitely for the better.
The deans consulted were
from Harvard, the University of
Georgia, Northwestern, South
ern Methodist and the Universi
ty of California.
They said that the war, show
ing itself in the returning GI
student, was responsible for
changing the 1950 graduate as
compared with the 1940 model,
or those of the depression-thinned
ranks of the 30s or of the
giddy 20s.
Here ore some of the things
that the deans noticed about
next June's graduates:
"There's no question in my
mind that these 1950 boys are
more mature, alert and serious
minded than the 1940 gradu-
tes," said Dr. David M. Little,
secretary of Harvard University
and master of Adams House,
undergraduate dormitory, since
1938.
"The GIs who returned to col
lege had a tremendous influence
in spreading their habits of hard
work among the whole student
body ... as a graduate of Har
vard, class of 1918, I can say
from personal experience that
the gang is much belter today.
"There is less indiscriminate
drinking, for instance. I don't
mean these boys are old sober
sides . . . but they are more
adult and socially-minded in
their drinking. Fads seem to
have been relegated to the high
school set.
Dr. George M. Sparks, direc
tor of the Atlanta division of
the University of Georgia, said
the GI's standards were higher
and the GI s "brought up" those
of the younger non-GI students
in classrooms.-
Sparks found the college sen
ior "more serious generally1
than the 1940 model, and "much
less of a discipline problem than
the 1.940 student was."
"This crowd seems to be up
on its toes and ready for busi
ness," Sparks said.
Dean Ovid H. Eshbach of the
technology institute of North
western University said he did
not think the students entering
school today are much different
from those of 10 years ago, al
though the 1950 class is differ
ent because of the veterans, "a
super-imposed age group, very
much more mature ' He said
they "more sincere and dilig
ent," and less interested in "extra-curricular
follies "
"I think the Dre-war srhiriont
bad a greater imagination," Esh-
nacn said. "I'm not sure that this
sobering has contrihnleri tr v.
ative, philosophical and scholar
ly ininmng . . the sobering in
fluence is gradually subsiding
and we're getting back to the
same siuaent we nad in 1940.'
Dr. Willis Tate, dean of stu
dents at Southern Methodist
said the present graduate has
snown signs of less drinking and

the new type will last, and
fewer fancy costume contests"
in his every day dress.
He pointed out that many of
the GIs "have left good jobs for
an education in hopo-o of getting
even a better job. The sacrifice
has made him a wiser and
stronger man . . . far different
from the days whei, boys and
girls went to school with
what-the-hell' attitude about
finishing college."
But he, too, predicted classes
to come would be more in the
lighter, gayer pattern of earlier
years.
Dr. Hurford E. Stone, dean of
students at the University of
California, said the 1950 gradu
ate is "less concerned with par
ties and fads, and more indepen
dent in his thinking and judge
ment than was the graduate of
10 years ago."
He said he found "drinking"
is more widely participated in
by the graduates of 1950 (but)
there is not as much excessive
ness or heavy drinking as there
was by 1940 graduates."
The 1950 product, he said, "is
better equipped and more ser
ious, but no more and no less
responsible than the 1940 grad
uate.

Doctors Deny Unfairness to
Private Hospital Groups
Portland, Feb. 3 (IP) Oregon doctors asserted again today that
they have not been unfair in dealing with commercial hospital
associations.
They also denied that they discriminated against three doctors
who were associated with a prepaid medical care program.
Accused in a government anti-f
trust suit of trying to monopolize
the prepaid medical care field,
the defense added to its argu
ment that the doctors' groups
were not trying -to run commer
cial associations out i.f business:
they were" just engaged in heal
thy competition.
Dr. E. G. Chutnard. a member
of the Multnomah Ccunty Medi
cal Society board of censors,
took up a government charge
that three doctors associated with
the Northern Pcrmanente clinic
were denied admittnnce to the
medical society because they
were linked with a commercial
association.
He testified that no one had
been admitted to the society
since December, 1948 All told,
72 doctors' applications arc
pending, he said, adding that
the society diu not want to
change membership rolls while
the anti-trust suit was pending.
Another witness, Dr. Gordon
B. Leitch, admitted s&ecches and
articles against commercial as
sociations, but defended them
on the right of free speech He
said they represented his own
opinion, and not that of the med
ical society.
Leitch long was editor of the
Oregon section of Northwest
Medicine publication of the state
medical society.
His testimony drew scoffing
remarks from Philip Marcus,
government attorney who con
tended the articles were intend
ed to influence doctors.
Leitch responded they were
only intended to make doctors
think.
"Your only purpose was to
present one side and hope that
