This Is the Famous Charter
i-",9.''.. i 'Vs. r
(Acme Telepholo)
This Is the already famous United Nations Charter which was drawn up
during the nine-week San Francisco Conference and signed at history
making ceremonies.
"This Charter or None,"
Truman Warns Senators
In Personal
Washington, July 2. (U.R),
President Truman in an historic
appearance today placed the
United Nations charter before
the senate and asked for its
prompt ratification.
He did so with a warning that
the senate could not choose be
tween the charter and something
else, but "between this charter
and no charter at all."
First Since 1932
Mr. Truman, the first presi
dent to appear before the senate
since 1932, told his former col
leagues ,that the people of the
world looked to them "to take
the lead in approving the char
ter .. . and pointing the way for
the rest of the world.
"The choice before the senate
is now clear," he said. "The
choice is not between this charter
and something else. It is be
tween this charter and no charter
at all.
"Improvements will come In
the future as the United Nations
gain experience with the ma
chinery and methods which they
have set up. For this is not a
static treaty. It can be improved
and. as the years go by, it will
be just as our constitution lias
been improved.
Points Peace Road
"This charter points down the
only road to enduring peace,
There is no other. Let us not hes
itate to loin hands with the
Deace-loving peoples of the .earth
and start down that road with
firm resolve that we can and will
reach our goal."
Opening his personal campaign
for approval of the charter, the
president reviewed in simple
terms the objectives of the char
ter, asking the senate to consider
not only its words but the spirit
which gave it meaning.
This is the way he listed me
charter's objectives:
'It seeks to prevent future
wars.
'It seeks to settle international
disputes by peaceful means and
in conformity with principles oi
justice.
'It seeks to promote woria-
wlde progress and better stand
ards of living.
"It seeks to achieve universal
respect for, and observance of,

human rights and fundamental

"It seeks to remove the eco
nomic and social causes of inter
national conflict ard unrest."
Charter Birth Told
Describing how the charter
was produced by many hands
and many influences, the presi
dent said it evolved from "the
reality of experience in a world
where one generation has failed
twice to keep the peace."
The president reminded the
senate that no international doc
ument had ever been drawn in
a greater glare of publicity. He
said this resulted in the impres
sion in some quarters that there
were many points of disagree
ment among the United Nations
in drafting the document.
"The fact is that there were
comparatively few points upon
which there was not accord from
the very beginning," he said,
adding that these disagreements
related more to method than to
principle.
When Mr. Truman stood be
fore the senate today there were
many who recalled that another
president once had stood there to
plead a somewhat similar clause.
It was 26 years ago, lacking eight
days, that Woodrow Wilson be
gan his ill-fated league of nations
fight.
The last previous appearance
of a president before the senate
was on May 31, 1B3Z, when Her
bert C. Hoover addressed the
chamber on domestic economic
problems occasioned by the de

WAR AGENCY BILL
E
Rules Committee Rejects
Plan to Send Proposed Bill
to Senate Conference.
Washington, July 2 U.R)
The house rules committee today
blocked house consideration of
the pending' $771,000,000 war
agency appropriation bill because
of a dispute over funds for the
fair employment practice com
mittee. The committee, which has
been consistently hostile to the
FEPC, rejected a proposal by
Chairman Adolph J. Sabath, D.,
111., that the house be permitted
to vote on a motion to send the
bill to conference with the sen
ate. The senate on Saturday
amended the measure to provide
$250,000 for the FEPC.
Southern Democrats had
blocked a move on Saturday
night to send the bill to confer
ence, and 'today's rules commit
tee action followed.
Negroes Attend
A negro delegation was on
hand earlier for hearings before
the rules committee, but the ap
propriations bill was not discuss
ed in open session.
Charles A. Collins, New York
Negro representative of the Ho
tel and Club Employes associa
tion (AFL), attempted to ask
when the appropriation measure
would be considered, but com
mittee attendants herded the
delegation from the room.
"You don t have to push, Loi-
lins protested. "What is this, Ger
many? I lost a brother in this
war!"
Democrats Refuse
The rules committee, loaded
with southern Democrats, has re
fused consistently to send any
kind of FEPC legislation to the
floor. The most offered by the
annroDriations committee was
$123,000 to liquidate the agency
after previously turning thumbs
down on any new tuna.
While FEPC funds are only a
drop in the bucket of the $771,-
000.000 bill to operate war agen
cies for the year beginning to
day, other agencies tied up in the
measure will not suffer from lack
of funds.

SUPERFORT RAIO

Japs Reported Fleeing.
Pearl Harbor, July 2 U.R)
Roaring flames ate their way
through four Japanese cities to
day after the greatest Superfort
raid of the war, and on Borneo
the Japanese battled to save
their richest oil holding.
Nearly 6 0 0 Superfortresses
splattered 500,000 incendiary
bombs early this morning on tho
Kure naval base, the port of
Shimonoscki and the coal city
of Ube all on Honshu and tho
industrial city of Kumamato on
western Kyushu. The Japaneso
admitted that hours afterwards
huge fires still blazed.
Two Planes Lost
On Washington, the 20th air
force said only two B-29's wero
lost in the record raid, and that
20 members of their crews wera
rescued. It was believed in
Washington that the Superfortsn
carried 11 men each, leaving
only two from the lost planes un
accounted for.)
Australian troops were report
ed moving inland toward tha
Seppinggang airdrome, six miles
northeast of Balikpapan, after
their Sunday morning invasion
of the Borneo oil center. Tokyo
claimed Japanese troops wero
counter-attacking, but allied
aerial reconnaissance reports
said the roads were jammed with
fleeing enemy troops.
Kula Landing Reported
A German-language broadcast
from Tokyo, heard faintly in
London, said that allied troops
also had gone ashore at Kula, 31
miles northeast of Balikpapan.
That report was not confirmed
by any other source.
The Japanese still reported
warily about American warships,
reconnoitcring in the Amami
islands, 50 miles north of Okin
awa, and they obviously feared
an invasion there.
From Okinawa, medium
boi.ibcrs made their first attack
on the Japanese homeland to
bomb the suicide plane base at
Chiran, on Kyushu.
Fighter planes from Okinawa
and Iwo Jima raided the Ibusukl
seaplane base and the Hamma
mat.su airfield near Nagoya. Six
Japanese planes were destroyed
and seven damaged.
Eighteen enemy ships were
sunk or damaged in attacks be
tween Japan and China.
Suicide Attacks
Tokyo claimed successful sui
cide plane attacks on the Amer
ican fleet off Okinawa on a de
stroyer, a transport and another
unidentified warship.
Gen. Joseph Stilwell, new
10th army commander, revealed
that 16,000 more Japanese had
been killed or captured on Okin
awa since organized resistance
there ended June 21.
Attention again was focused
on American bases in the north
for attacks on Japan with tha
appointment of Maj. Gen. John
B. Brooks as commander of tho
11th airforce operating in Alaska
and the Aleutians. The Japa
nese recently said that American
troops were poised in the Aleu
