A MmU Ye Smudge Pot By Arthur Perry The report Germany had aur- rendered, wai branded bogus by tha president Saturday evening, It was bated upon a statement by a senator from Texas, who seems to have prematurely talked through his hat, and, felt bad about it afterwards. He had tha right sow by the ear, but at the wrong time. Btgger and bet ter rumors have been hatched and unleashed In this very burg. Nona, however, gained world wide circulation, and were quashed by tha chief executive ec tha nation. Farmers of tha McMlnnville area will open a sheep shearing school next week. To test the shsrpness of their shears, they can whack off tha wool, pulled over their own ayes by the pollti alans.

Cloelng Umi for Classified Ada l loa UN la Claaauy UMe a. m. San Francisco, April 37: One sometimes wonders whether this Is a conference to secure universal peace or a conference to secure pictures of Big Shots who are trying to get It a e e As at tha national political conventions these flash-light camera men are a pain-in-the-neck, disturbers of the peace and a general all-around pest. "A law should be passed" to prohibit them flash ing and snapping at a nice man like Mr. Anthony Eden when ne is trying to make a ipeech and succeeding In making a very good one but probably none will be. And nerval These candid camera boys will set off a flare and snap tha shutters on the foreign min ister of Chile as he asks for a moment of silent meditation to revere and honor the name and career of the late Franklin Delano Roose velt! And then when he is startled and resentful, laugh In fiendish glee and beat it for the nearest developing room. Even the photogenic Secretary Stettinlus who looks rather like an enlarged and statuesque edition of Charlie Chaplin has no control over them. Some people think HE is running this con ference but he really Isn't. The camera boys ire they are all over the place and do exactly as they please, and from soup to nuts believe it or not they take precedence over EVERYthing and EVERYonel Of course we are for peace. Who isn't? But before It is univer sal 'we hone ooen season will be declared on all news and movie photographers at serious gatherings of this sort, and we can join in a little innocent machine-gun spraying on the cult, with a few rocket bombs thrown in for good measurel The world we are sure would be a much nicer place without them or mast of them! Which reminds us. There was a near fist fight in our section of the press gallery at the conference this afternoon. A newspaper man from South America left his seat, with the explanation to his companion to hold it for him and he would be back soon. A man and woman came down the aisle looking for seats and spied this one-they are scarce when convention time approaches-the woman declaring to no one in particular that no seats were reserved and would someone take up the hot and coat left in this seat so she could occupy same. The South American friend refused to comply declaring his companion would return soon. Whereupon Mrs. Battleaxe called on her companion and the usher to enforce the law and secure the seat for her or there would be hell to pay. That isn't the word she used but it was definitely the idea, and she meant it too. Well, if the friend bad not appeared at that precise moment and slipped into his seat, no one knows what might have happened for it looked like the time-honored problem of an irresistible force meeting an immovable body. As a friend on our left remarked when the fur started to fly or seemed on the way It was no way to behave at a PEACE conference. It wasn t. We may be accused of triviality but the fact remains that right THERE is a perfect ex ample of why it Is so much easier to TALK about permanent peace than SECURE it. After all nations are nothing more than groups of individuals and when two individuals and one of them woman, are ready to fight for a seat at a peace conference well there Is your problem) The fighting instinct has very deep roots in the body and soul of the genus homo. WHAT a dayl A press conference with Mrs. Vljaya Lakshml Pandit, first wom an cabinet minister of India, at the Mark Hopkins this a.m., another press conference with Molotov at the St. Francis, after lunch; then the press conference at 3:30 and a hectic session of the Town Meet ing of the Air at five, in which a very distinguished group includ ing Commander Stassen, Commentators Swing, H. V. Kaltenborn, William Shlrer and Chairman Connelly of the State Foreign Re lations committee took part. And what did It all add up to? Well, talk, talk, and still more talk. Important talk Interesting talk but talk Just the same. Words, words, and still more words. Your correspondent is suffer ing from acute verbal indigestion this evening. Mrs. Pandit, sister of the famous Nehru, the great Indian leader, , we should say, a person completely without a sense of humor, and therefore better calculated to delay rather than hasten Indian Independence. One Interrogator she ordered expelled from the room, an Indian by the name of Khan, because he represented no official organisation or newspaper, and while she accused the British government of Intolerance and tyranny, we would dislike very much to have to live under a government con trolled by Mrs. Pandit. Oh, yes, we may be doing the lady an injustice, but that was the impression she made on your corre spondent. The Molotov Interview well. Comrade Molotov doesn't talk English and we don't talk or understand Russian, and while hi remarks were translated and to some apparently, clarified the Polish question, to us, it was a lot of double-talk yes, no, perhaps and maybe. The morning papers may throw a revealing light on it all we hope so for we would really like to know where Russia stands on this Polish question. But aside from the repeated claim there had beer! no change as far as Russia is concerned since the Big Three agreement at Yalta, it was our impression that Com missar Molotov talked a great deal and said absolutely nothing Brother Kaltenborn has always been one of our pet aversions as a news commentator, but we have to admit that tn this after noon's Town Meeting he stood out head and shoulders above all the others, with the possible exception of Joe Grew who spoke from Washington, and we thought with considerable dignity, sin cerity and forcefulness. Kaltenborn was quick-witted, direct, con cise and realistic. His answers to questions would do credit to a champion trial lawyer, he never appeared ruffled or flustered, in complete command of the situation at all times a lot on the ball H. V. had, it seemed to yours truly Swing was good too, and we have an idea was right regarding England being forced to play second fiddle In the New World to Russia and the U. S. A.

There before one's eyes history was being made, some of the biggest men of this gen eration there "in person" and genuine progress being made no doubt of that "Peace on earth, good will to menl ' But It Is so easy to TALK world peace, and so hard to GET It! Dr. Soong of China hit the nail on the head, to our way of thinking, when he said the United Nations, if they really want world peace mutt be willing to sacrifice some of what is known as their national sovereignty to get it give that to a super state to enforce a peace. The same idea was expressed by one of tha speakers at the Town Meeting when he remarked that all nations are for world peace until they have ta sacrifice something to get it That goes back to a point we have itreised In this column for great many years. The world will hsve peace when the people of the world care enough about it to be willing to fight and die for it and not UNTIL then! It Is easy now. With Germany beaten and Jsosn on the rODes with practically all tha world weakened by the most terrible con flict In human history, what nation or nations will threaten the peace of the world for a generation at least? The answer Is none, e e e But one of these days tha world will ha ltrone? asaln. And with that restored strength new desires and national ambitions will arise. And if it Is still a competitive world nationalistic world then tha big test will come, not in this generation and probably not In the next, but eventually. Then what is done here at San Francisco In the next few weeks will meet its acid test not today, not tomorrow, not for many years to come. That Is why it is so vitally Important that what Is done here. should be with far ahead look, should as far as it is humanly pos sible, anticipate the changes the future will bring, and the organi sation be sufficiently adjustable and elastic, therefore, to stand up without breaking before thoso changes. This Itn t to shoot at the iters or seek perfection. It is merely to be practical and realistic, and by us using foresight now, pre vent those errors that have spelled failure for all similar efforts in tne past, to come right down to brass-tacks unless there Is an international police force, under international control, with the power to enforce force against any nation or any group of nations threatening It; there will be no peace, when the national rivalries. ambitions and fears which cause war, ire sgsip. created: It.

(U.PJ More than 100 'years ago, Louisiana s first poet and the richest man of his time left $30,000, which he had earned peddling pots and pans and trinkets at plantation homes and negro carjini, in trust to provide dowries for young people who had been more tor tunate in love than ne. The man was Julian Poydras, whose romance had been blight ed in France by the age-old cus tom of dowrylng, which pro vides that the bride's family shall give a considerable cash um or piece of land to the husband at the time of marriage. Poydras' sweetheart was very poor, her family could not af ford a dowry. And even though the ardent suitor cared nothing for the dowry, French custom ruled against the match and the marriage never took place. Broken-hearted, he Joined the French navy and never returned to his native land. He came to America and found fame and fortune in that New France which became Louisiana. This year 21 brides of West Baton Rouge Parish are eligible for dowries arising from interest on the original investment as directed by tha Frenchman's will in 1824. Bob Cuffel, former Medford Mail Tribune carrier boy. and son of Mrs. R. C. Cuffel, 822 South Newtown street, tel phoned home recently from the Hawaiian Islands where he Is en joying a 10-day rest leave. Lt. Cuffel, with the 21st bomb er command, 20th Air Force sta tioned on Saipan, has completed half of his tour of missions and has participated in some of the most devastating raids on Tokyo since going overseas in the mid dle of December. Lands On Iwo Jims Conditions on Saipan aren't as rugged as on some of the islands, Lt. Cuffel said. Return ing from a recent raid on Tokyo his craw landed at Iwo Jima for necessary repairs. In describing the islands he said: "It is differ ent from any of the islands have been on, being made of vol canic ash. There is absolutely no vegetation outside of four runty shrubs, all twisted and gnarled. Even before we touch ed the ground we could smell the pungent odor of sulphur and see the ugliness of the island. "When we stopped our en gines and got out, we found it cold enough to wear flying Jacn- ets. I certainly felt sorry for those marines stationed there. Most of them had a heavy growth of beard which was filled sol idly with a drifting, powdery, volcanic ash. The only thing the marines like about the island is to ba able to lie in their fox holes, covered by the smoking, warm earth. No Comforts "As for comforts, there Just aren't any. People in the states should see what I saw and hear what I heard and I'm sure they wouldn't gripe about shortages, rationing and strike because of petty grievances. The boys are eeting "K" rations and allowed two canteens of water dally. Water must be brought In and is as precious as gasoline. "We had some sandwiches left and I gave them to some of the boys. They went after them like animals. One held up a bread crust in a begrimed hand and remarked, as he stuffed it in his mouth, 'We haven't had any of that since we came here1." Schools Blow Up Concerning his last Tokyo raid, he wrote, "I Just heard Tokyo radio telling about our fire raids; a pack of lies if I ever heard any. They scream about our indiscriminate bombing of schools, etc., but generally sciools don't blow up with a ter rific blast unless munitions are stored there.

More than dozen prominent Hollywood portrait painters, cartoonists and commercial ar tists are contributing their time to teaching 300 students in hos pital classes. One teacher, Dolya Goutman, in ceramics, drawing and paint ing, Russian-born painter, com ments, "The false doctrine that art was for 'sissies' kept these men from expressing themselves artistically in childhood. If the much-publicized era-of-the-com-mon-man is at hand, certainly the comman man should be per mitted to enjoy the arts as part of his daily life."
