T PLAN IMPERFECT, BUI GIVES HOPE New York, March 17 (U.R) The Dumbarton Oaks propo sals for a world security organi zation are neither complete nor perfect but they represent at this time the greatest possible measure of agreement among the big powers, Undersecretary of State Joseph C. Grew said tonight. Speaking to the annual meet ing of the Society of Friendly Sons of St. Patrick on St. Pat rick's Day, Grew emphasized the danger of expecting perfection in the world organization at the start. "No plan is perfect," he said. "Every plan is capable of amend ment and improvement, includ ing our own constitution. Yet no responsible person has ever ser iously suggested that we scrap our constitution and start anew, or that we rebuild the whole structure on different lines.1 He outlined two other factors to be remembered in connection with the San Francisco confer ence next month 1. The machinery of world organization itself will not solve all problems. 2. The San Francisco confer ence is not a peace conference and will not deal with specific territorial, reparations or simi lar problems. "The one great purpose will quite simply, be to draft the charter of the United Nation that is, to establish machinery to maintain the future peace and security of the world, as outlined- in the Dumbarton Oaks proposals," Grew said. 1 Portland, Ore., March 18 (U.R) Means of reducing the dan ger of hazardous work at the Conscientious Objectors Camp at Waldport, on the Oregon coast, were under discussion at the camp today following dis closure of the death of a former Chlcagoan. A News Release received here from the Waldport Camp No 56 stated that George Moyland 30. formerly an accountant at Chicago, suffered a crushed skull March 8 while engaged in fell ing dead trees in the Siuslaw National forest. The News Release, which did not quote any eamp officials, said that the death provoked considerable discussion among the camp assignees as to the hazards of that type work. Few of the assignees have had ex perience qualifying them for dead tree felling, which experi enced woodmen regard as par ticularly dangerous, according to the camp report. POLE CASUALTIES JOIN V. A.
