It will probably look as much like an old-fashioned 'Mother Hubbard,' s a man dees a deer. . a . The personal confidential stenographer of Adolf Hitler, has Informed w a r correspondents, with -his stenographic notes as proof. Der Fuehrer died in a for tified bunker, in the ruins; of Berlin. It was all quite melo dramatic, but as yet, what the lawyers call the 'corpus delicti' has not been located, something to remember. All the brass hats departed, but his girl friend, one Eva Braun, lingered to die witn him. Girl friends don't act that way, even In the best 'gang thrillers.' Then take Col. Gen. Albert Jodl, who signed the sur render to the Allies. Albert gave Adolf plenty of lip, and was not shot on the spot. Said he, the account says: "I shall not stay in this house -hole." (With all the rats present, the mouse hale was crowded.) Then every body departed, but Adolf and Eva. The finish resembles the one that befell Mussolini in Mi lan, In some respects. There is no positive proof of Mr. Hitler's desth. He might later show up In Argentina, Ireland, Spain or Portugal. He might even pose as a German prisoner of war, and get caught in a few weeks hoeing sugar beets In New Mex ico. As for Eva, she might dye her hair red, and keep a light burning In a Bavarian hide-out. a a a .

HEARTBEATS VIA RADIO A medical officer at Honolulu listened, by radio, to the heart beats of sailor unconscious on a smalj vessel far out In the Pacific, diagnosed the case and gave instructions to insure recovery. The trip brought into sharp relief what si wonderful harbor the "Bon Dieu" gave San Francisco. A harbor large enough for the entire U. S. fleet and yet protected from any U-boat attack, or any hositle entrance from the sea, by that narrow Golden Gate passage which can be closed, by a short steel submarine ' netl e , e . . . As the British delegate remarked the Golden Gate climate is "very bracing" but it is also very unreliable. This trip started on a sunny noon, with shirt-sleeves In order; and ended so. cold that Molotov's fur-coat and ear-muffs would have been a welcome "life-saver." As one of the gal correspondents on board put It: "No wonder they have nice fur-stores In San Francisco,-- apparently there isn't a day In the year, when you might not need them!" . '. ' ' a a ' . .; Ernie Pyle's portrait Is on the ship, also many of his remarks, In mural prints, as a war correspondent. One of them struck the writer as particularly characteristic: "Americans are such damned funny people. Why can't EVERY BODY be like them!" . . Well, these Russian delegates may not trust capitalistic America but they certainly are not backward about supporting the profit system here in San Francisco. Not only do they eat and drink like lords, but they are going to take about a trainload of wrist-watches; cameras and fancy feminine apparel back to Moscow with them.. i e - e But that Russian cleavage line we have mentioned! --, Even organized, labor here In the United States has succumbed to it. The C.I.O. through Mr. Philip Murray officially blames Wm. Green of the A.FX,. as being responsible for the conference rejection of the world-labor appeal for unofficial representation. And the charge is probably correct. It IS basically fear of Com munist DOMINATION, that led to this action. e e ' Among the much appreciated courtesies here are the free movies for all delegates at the United Nations theatre on O'Farrell, the old "Alcazar with its face lifted. and a new party , dress. . . The place is filled night after night; the past week devoted, to previews of some of the 4-star films that will be released this summer and fall. A special request was made to the press , not to write reviews of the pictures so we shall abstain; but one of the films, we predict, will be a great success. At least it should be. Its title Is ."Symphony in Blue." : ; ; Conference news-shorts were also shown, every star 'setting; a big hand but Secretary Stettlnlus. . We don't know why, but there Is no doubt the. head of the U. S. delegation here is NOT popular with the delegates. Some of the news-men blame it on the "Rooshians". but We believe that comes under the general heading of Sovietphobia from which incidentally many of the press suffer.' After all, when everything is said and done. the' PRECISE wording of this new peace covenant will not be so vital! What WILL be vital will be the SPIRIT of the world, and particularly the spirit of the Big Five, when as is bound to happen eventually, war again threatens. Will the desire for peace then be as widesDread and sti-ons as It is today or even half as strong? If so. don't worrv. there will be no war, no matter what the wording of this provision or some other, may be! This does not mean, of course, there should be anv relaxation In the effort to secure a document, the WORDING of which- would in every way AID rather than HINDER an international organiza tion in preventing future war. In fact that is really about the onlv Job that CAN be done here; and it is a very' important and difficult one, Can it be that the little 2-by-4 Moscovite bodvsuard went hark with Molotov?

I can report one member of the American delegation consid ers t)iis veto thread running through the whole program as "lmn ral." Another says it vio lates the spirit of everything he believes In and hopes for inter nationally. Other members of the delega tion do not like this skein of the peace particularly, but are less critical In private. And all are going along to see If the final shredding and re-knotting do not furnish some grounds for ap peasing their apprehension, a a a - HERE are the problems of greatest concern: The security council Is charged with ' erplng the peace of the world. This Is not only the big five nations but the little six (a rotating six, the complexion of which will change from time to time). Yet actually the peace will have to be kept by the big three. Only Russia, Britain and the United States have the power to do It. France and China, the other two nations filling out the big five, do not have the means of effecting the results, and can not have for many years, if evci Yet either one of them with the little six could actually out vote the big three. Most of the voting is to be done by seven nations majority on the security council. Even the trusteeships over the Pacific Islands and questions of economic sanctions can b. directed by seven votes on the council where we have one. The big five think they have reserved to themselves full au thority to stop any untoward possibilities along this line by retaining the veto right on prac tically verything. A single ob jection , by any of the big five (not the big three) would stop the security council and the pence setup in any action. Thu this is actually not the protection it seems to be, since France and China can exercise equal authority with the larger nation in tms respect.'. ' . ; a a a. "THE defect here Is that author- ity has been given to the big fiv . to do what the big three will have to do under the very na ture of the condition at the war end, with respect to peace, and should do in economic matters. Now the American delegation kno s all these things. I under stand, indirectly, Mr. Stettinius has taken the position that as these matters were agreed upon at Yalta, he must stand firmly for them. (Polish government representation for the London Poles was also agreed upon at Yalta but Russia has not accent ed It. This should give Mr. Stet- L'uius an honorable opportunity to reopen the above matters if he chooses.) . t , Those are the subjects of grav- c ci. corn running to the verv heart f the peace automatic an atomy from which all others stem and they will influence final Judgment of the San Fran cisco results unless changed. , a a a THERE 1 another matter upon which the public, I find, j have I n extensively misled I the matter of the Argentine set-1 tlcment.

COAST PLANNING MAJOR HOLE IN CIA MARKETS San Francisco, (U.R) The China-America Council of Com merce and Industry has expand ed the scope of its operations on the West coast in order to plan better for rehabilitation and de velopment of the Industries of China the Pacific Coast's "new frontier." With China expected to play a major part ir. the operations of West coast irdustries after the war, the council has opened new offices In Seattle and Portland and reorganized and enlarged the San Francisco office in order to cope with the broader de mands being met. Some of .the most prominent Industrialists on the West coast are taking an active part in the work of the council. See Reconversion Aided West coast leaders see in the China market an important con tribution to the solution of the critical reconversion problems which will confront the Pacific coast aircraft, shipbuilding and industrial equipment of almost all kinds, a great variety of other manufactured goods and raw materials and foodstuffs such as lumber, wheat and flour. Ship ments to and from China are ex pected to provide a large volume of bulk cargoes for the Pacific Coast merchant marine. The harbor facilities of San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, and other Dorts. as well as local serv ice industries such as steve dnrlns. warehouses, land and river transport are also ex pected to benefit greatly from the trade, council spoKesmen re port.
