British Opposition to United States
Strange Phase in UNO Site Dispute
By Louis 1". Komls
United Press Staff Correspondent
There Is more than meets the eye In the dispute over whether
the permanent seat of the United Nations organization shall be
In the United States or Europe.
Superficially, the question of a site appears minor In contrast
to graver issues confronting the UNO, and the difficulty in agree
ing on it looks like much ado about nothing. The United Nations
is a world-wide coalition and In theory could function as success
fully In San Francisco, Tisnbuctoo or at the North Pole.
BRITAIN AND RUSSIA OPPOSED ON ISSUE
Actually, it has become a Big Three issue, with Britain and
Russia on opposite sides of the fence and the United States dele
gation trying to be coyly neutral.
Great Britain opposes making the United States the home of
the UNO. Russia favors It. Most of the smaller nations are divided
in accordance with their affiliation with members of the Big
Three, Poland supports a European site as against the Russian
stand, and Australia favors the United Slates against the mother
country's wishes.
It seems odd that Britain, despite her desire to continue the
Anglo-American war alliance, should be siding against the United
States while Russia takes the opposite view. It may be that the
Russians find some grim humor in the situation.
BRITAIN MAY FEAR INTERNATIONAL PRESTIGE
Britain evidently fears her international prestige will suffer
if the center of political gravity is shifted from Europe. That
would not matter so much In western Europe as In the east,
among the countries lying on the imperial life-line to the Orient.
British fears are governed morn by that consideration than by
any reluctunce to seo the United States take the spotlight.
Russia would prefer a "world capital" outside Kurope, mainly
because of her suspicion of a possible western European bloc
against the Soviet Union and its established sphere of influence
in the east. Russia would welcome any lessening of British in
fluence In Europe, as long as it passes by proxy to the more
remote United States.
FRANCE FEARS UPSET OF BIG FIVE BALANCE
Russia's position was stated by her delegate to the London
preparatory conference, Andrei A. Gromyko. He said the argu
ment for a European site was based in part on the argument that
future problems would be mainly European, whereas only time
would tell about that. Selection of a European site, he said,
would make the UNO a regional orfanization instead nf nni.
versal one. France opposed selection of the United States as the
UNO home, on the ground that placing it In any one of the great
powers would tend to "upset the balance" among the Big Five.
The chief argument advanced for the United Slates i. thai
the American people have not been fully wooed away from iso
lationism. It has been suggested that Americans will take a greater
interest in world organization, and feel more Inclined to support
it if the headquarters of the new League of Nations i nnt in
some far off country.

husband on a dressing table in
the bedroom she shares with
her second husband. Our 11 &

of first husbands should be kept
from view of second husbands.
They say a wife who dearly
loved her first husband should j
keep his picture in her heart

Ideal Woman
According to sculptors the
measurements of the Ideal wo
man are as follows: Her figure
is 7V4 times the length of her
head. Her neck Is one-third
the length of her head. Her
shoulders three times as wide
as her head. Her waistline
comes at slightly less than two
thirds the height of her figure
from the ground. Her hips are
the width of an arm wider than
her bust. Check your wife as
to these measurements. If she
can match them you may have
the winner of the 1948 Mrs.
America bathing beauty con
test. Sidelight!

IN its details, the arrangement :
Is indefensible. A careful i
reading of the agreements will
show that upon practically ev

have contrived an escape clause
or phrase In short, an out.
in the mutter of interest pay-
menti, for example, these will
be waived unless British trade
averages more than in 1936-38
for five proceeding years. Also
the British are to try to do some
thing about the sterling discrim
ination pool against the dollar,
but will only "makes every en
deavor" to do so. They agree to
"relax," not stop.
Again, they agree to discuss
a new, de luxe, super Bretton
Woods arrangement to create a
world trading and monetary
system; they agree to work with
us for this "international trade
organization" at a world con
ference next year. But there
nothing definite is provided be
yond the "discussion" stage.
Again they promise to pay
perhaps $750,000,000 In settle
ment of the "lend-lease" (how
ironical those two words sound
now) but only $50,000,000 is to
be cash within five years, and
we will not take this money,
but will use it to build educa
tional or other Institutions in ,
the British empire.
There is hardly a line In this
agreement which is not hedged
thus with a legal escape.

which really represents the

our treasury has no "money"

We could wisely have pre

peace with this deal.

000,000 Into this war, without
taking anything but world's
headaches. What Is $3,750,000,

now. Take It or leave It.
As I say, I think congress may
take it, but not enthusiastically.

"In this particular map In
which Medford was omitted, I
did not realize that this town

Cox has given 4.000 people the
i surprise of their lives. He's pre-
sented them with a total of more
. "n $5,000,000 and it hasn't
him cent-
A probate genealogist, Cox
hs been finding missing heirs
for the past 32 years. He's
: "hd as far as Syria and
Greece to settle estates with
values ranging from $5,000 to
5.2.OM.OO0.
"Most of them can't believe
It when they learn they are
heirs." Cox said in an interview.
"In fact, most of them don't
even know the relatives who
left the money."
Sometimes Cox gets the sur
prise of his life, too, when an
heir refuses to take an inheri
tance. Some Refute Bequests
"It's hard to believe, but once
in a while you find someone
who would rather make his own
fortune," said Cox, who c al Is
himself the Henry Ford of heir
hunters.
"Obviously that doesn't hap
pen very often."
Once, however, he spent many
months finding the wife of a
prison guard to give her $25,
000. When he found her. the
woman's husband wouldn't let
her take the money. He'd been
around criminals so long, he
thought the whole thing was a
hoax.
"I got so angry I decided to
prove to him that it was a bona
fide offer," Cox said. "So I
bought the woman's claim to
the estate for a mere $500."
Cox said that was considcr
.i)!y more than he would have
received for his trouble. The
usual procedure, he explained.
Is for him to charge each heir
a fee for making him an heir.
Many Missing Heirs
Cox said that there are thou
sands of missing heirs, largely
because people don't make wills
or make them out Incorrectly.
"Not only are the heirs miss
ing, but their names are miss
ing, too," he added. "First we
find out who's missing and then
we locate them.
"Sometimes they lead nis a
merry chase, but we find most
of them."
He added that some of the
deceased were "purely uninten
tional" benefactors.
"I'll bet some of them turn
over In their graves when we
find their unfavorite relatives,"
he said.

Letter From Washington
By HARRIS ELLSWORTH
Member ol Congress From Oregon
IMMEDIATELY following the
end of the Labor-Management
Conference here, which was in
session almost four weeks, Presi
dent Truman sent a message to
Congress, outlining steps which
he believes the government
should take toward ending In
dustrial strife. His message
touched off a barrage of opposi
tion. Apparently all branches of
all labor organizations disap
proved the ideas for legislation
expressed by the President.
Nevertheless, It seems to me that
Congress, which Is, on the
whole, more responsive to total
public opinion than it is to labor
alone, may very likely pass a
bill embodying President Tru
man's suggestions.
As this is written, there Is
pending before the House a bill
which is in effect a modification
of the Smith-Connally act. This
bill is considered far more res
trictive, so far as labor is con
cerned, than the bill based on
the President's message. The
present effort on the part of the
House leadership seems to be to
get the President's proposal be
fore the House first.
e e e
THE LABOR-MANAGEMENT !
Conference is generally referred :
to as having failed. Actually,!
this conference, which was the!
first of its kind ever held, made;
some worthwhile, although un
spectacular, progress. In the
several weeks of its sessions, the
few points on which agreement
could be reached were discover
ed. Furthermore, a list of points
on which no agreement can be
reached was determined. This
crystalization of the viewpoints
of both labor and management
will undoubtedly be of value in
the future.
a
CONSIDERABLE publicity
has been given to a statement
which I and 38 other Republi
can Members of the House of
Representatives signed and re
leased to the press recently. The
interpretation of this statement
by many editorial writers and
radio commentators was not
what we expected. They seemed
to view our very clear state
ment as an indication of a break
in the ranks of Republican Mem
bers, or, as some of them put it,
a rift in the Party. We thought
the first paragraph of the state
ment was fully explanatory. It
reads as follows:
"Some press and radio com
ments have attributed to the
Republican Party certain
positions on current contro
versial issues. These comments
are based upon views express
ed by individual members.
Every member of congress has
a right and duty to express
himself with entire freedom.
Such expressions, however, do
not bind his party."
The statement was read and
approved by party leaders in
the House, and I am sure noth
ing in.it could be objected to by
any Republican member. Wc
merely stated that two matters
now receiving the attention of
Congress, namely, the Pearl
Harbor investigation and the
question of peace-time military
training, are not partisan mat
ters; we do not view them in a
partisan light, and object to
having them reported in the
press and on the radio in a
partisan light.
I shall be glad to send a com
plete copy of the above men
tioned statement to anyone who
would like to have it.

Guard has a very splendid train

fairly new, and does not enjoy
the prominence attained by the
old established Naval and Mili

it is a very fine school. Selection
of cadets for appointment to the ;
Coast Guard Academy is made,
by an annual competitive exam-'
ination. This examination is:
conducted throughout the coun-
try. The next one will be held
on May 8th and 9th, 1946. The i
