San Francisco, May 14. Thanks to the Press club, Standard Oil
and commanding general of San Francisco. Bay area,-delegates
and the accredited press were given a tour of the bay yesterday
on the good ship "Ernie Pyle" formerly the Key System ferry
boat "Verba Buena." A very interesting trip but most of It off
the record. Too bad some of the Jap newspaper men weren't on
board, they would have been ready to call off the Pacific war tool

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.

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

cisco are ratified by all nations,

But here again the point must
be made that although the Latin
countries are friendly, now we
have placed our cause upon
their future friendliness. In this
connection, the facts of consid

Latin America are well known.

News Behind
The News
By Paul Mallon .
Paul atalloD '
Washington, May 17 Those
skilled International authorities
who have been on the Inside at
San Francisco
have .10 ted
much which
has not been
made public
concerning the
veto power
which the
1 a r go nations
have reserved
for themselves,
not only to
make war, but
to do a lot of
other things.
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. Through the midwest t
and I ck here, you hear people
saying what an "Immoral" thing
it was for us to admit fascist Ar-1
gentina to the conirence.
Argentina, of caurse, has
promised to free herself, even to
the e tent of accepting a free 1
press, and therefore Is one vote
for our democratic side in the
future world assembly.
But no one points out that
when we got this one vote. Rus
sia got three and Britain six. It
was done in the same conference
resolution. Russia obtained as
sembly votes for White Russia
and the Ukraine and Britain ob
tained votes for all her empire
segments (Canada, Australia,
South frica, India, New Zea
land, British Isles),

WE have many of the Latin
countries in this hemisphere
favorable to us and 1 think today
we could win a test against the
others in the assembly, although

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
