Many Changes Made in Governments off Countries Who Founded (United Nations Editor' Not: This is the first of! three dispatches on the United Na tions analyzing its first 10 years on the eve of the San Francisco meeting-. By BRUCE W. MUNN United Press Correspondent The United Nations is 10 years old next week. i Viacheslav Molotov and t h e j San Francisco Opera House are not much changed since the his toric charter signing ceremony there on June 26, 1945. But little else is the same. The decade has been a be wildering shift in the worlds alliances and enmities. It has teen a multitude of changes of governments. It has witnessed the retirement, defeat, death and dishonor of men who played the opera house stage at the UN's birth. Molotov, now as then Russia's foreign minister, will be the only chief representative of the 1945 "Big Five" United States, Russia, Britain, France and China returning to San 'Francisco for next week's an niversary session. President Eisenhower, who addresses the opening session Monday, had returned from Eu rope exactly 10 years ago Sun day to a tumultuous hero's wel come from 4,000,000 in the streets of New York. President Truman, who spoke to the new UN organization 10 years ago, is writing his memoirs in Inde pendence. Alger Hist Ex-Prisoner Alger Hiss, the bright young man who served as secretary general of the conference, has served a prison term .for lying about turning government sec rets over to the Reds. He is liv ing quietly today in a small Manhattan apartment. There was a hint at those first meetings 10 years ago of the struggles, disappointments and frustrations to come. . The poker-faced Molotov rose at the very first business session to object to U.S. Secretary of State Edward R. Stettinius Jr., serving as conference president throughout. Molotov demanded he did not ask that Russia, Britain and China alternate with the United States. Foreign Secre tary Anthony Eden, now Brit ain's prime minister,, took a conciliatory role and Molotov's demand was accepted. It was a minor token of massive battles to come. Disputes Foreshadowed : There was argument then, too, about admitting Argentina and to look better fit better wear better This Father's Day, give Pop the present he reay wants a pair of famous Rough Rider slacks.

That, too, foreshadowed the member ship disputes still raging. Stettinius, who headed the American delegation, is dead. His chief adviser. Sen. Arthur Vandenberg, is dead now, too. Others of his assistants were Harold Stassen, Sen. Tom Con- nally and John Foster Dulles, who lead3 the American dele gation next Monday. The French mission was led by Foreign Minister Georges Bi dault, no longer in the govern ment, and the Chinese by T. V. Soong who now lives quietly in New York. The 1945 session lasted 63 days, from April 25 until June 26 when 50 member nations signed the UN charter. It was a dull and dry session for the most part. The New York Times remarked on the lack of excite ment or demonstration even at the opening meeting. But during those two months the delegates hammered out the document that stands as the United Nations "constitution." Around Hollywood By ALINE MOSBY United Press Correspondent Hollywood i'U.R) This ' article should be hidden from children, but I'm still reeling from the blow of un- covering one of the biggest imperson ations in show business h i s- tory. One of top 10 TV stars isn't that star after all. Aline Mosby His son quietly began acting under the old man's name and not one viewer knew the difference. The original Lassie of those MGM movies is retired at the ripe old age of 15. His three-year-old son, also named Lassie, took over during the current "Lassie" CBS-TV series and has reaped one of the most amazing successes of the year. The original Lassie did the first couple of TV shows," said trainer Rudd Weatherwax today on the set of the popular series. "Then I noticed he was watch ing me too much for cues. His eyesight isn't so good and he would be looking for me instead of acting. So his son, his stand- in, took over." Plays a Lady Young Lassie is also a female impersonator, as he portrays a lady dog on the program. Dog actors are usually male because female dogs, unlike two-footed ladies,, don't retain their com plete fur coats the year around Despite this double illusion, the beautiful collie dog zoomed ahead of many top-rated shows starring two-footed actors, even those wearing coonskin caps. lassie ran nome with an "Emmy award and other honors from groups. He is so rich he sports a $150 blue rhinestone studded jacket. His earnings have bought a 150-acre ranch, with plenty of trees and hy drants for his master and- the Weatherwax stable of movie-TV dogs. He even supports three wives (the pups are given away on the TV program). "We've had to turn down $200,000 worth of personal ap pearances for Lassie," the train er said. "He accepted several for this summer, and his price now is $2,000 a day. Thousands of Letters Lassie even guested on a grown-ups show, Bob Hope, and proved such a smash hit in a satire on "This Is Your Life" that even Hope collapsed laugh ing on the stage. "After that show my phone didnt' stop ringing for days," smiled Weatherwax. "Lassie got thousands of letters. Weatherwax bought the rights to the name "Lassie" for $40,000 from MGM when the contract ended for Lassie movies. Now, chuckled the trainer, the studio "wishes they had- the name back and I hear they want to borrow Lassie for a movie." Young Lassie lives in an air conditioned room at the Weath erwax home. His co-star, Tom my Rettig, often week ends at the house and the two sleep to gether. .. Meantime, the old retired Las sie misses his former glory. "When we leave for the studio the old dog stands in the win dow and barks," Weatherwax said. "That's what these dogs live for, you know to come to the studio and be petted and fussed over." Bothered With Poison Oak? TRY B & II POISON OAK LOTION Nature's Own Antidote AT YOUR DRUGGIST The most controversial issue of the whole conference was a ve to power for the Big Five na tions in matters involving peace and security. Many of the little nations fought hard against the veto but they lost. Now there are many who wonder if they were not right all along.. In these 10 years the United Nations has assessed its members a total of $368,776,798 for op eration of the headquarters in New York and offices in Geneva. Special agencies have cost ad ditional sums. On The (Distributed by Kiag I never wished to marry, oh! But her cherry cheeks, blue eyes so clear. Torment me late and early O! O love, love, love!

In what State does a husband have control over his wife's pay check? These ques tions and others somewhat sim ilar are ' frequently asked. The answers can be found in that book titled "Marriage and Di vorce Laws of 48 States," which is on sale at most book shops. Please Note Were I considering embarking I on a business enterprise I would give the matter of canned soup careful consideration. One of the country's largest fortunes, over $200,000,000, was made in the canned soup industry. I also know of a fellow who has amassed considerable coin spe cializing in the making and sell ing of canned pea soup. He han dles no other kind of soup. Romance You're never too old for love in Hollywood. Or, so the dis patches from that entertainment center indicate. There are re peated references to the roman tic interludes of gentlemen who have passed the age of 60. Even some fellows of 70 are alleged to be "that way" over some beauti ful blonde or reported "dating" some glamorous brunette. How ever, it may be a mistake for some of these elderly Don Juans to take the romances too serious ly. I understand several have become a little too active for their years and while dancing the samba at the Mocambo have pulled tip lame. " : Asking Queries from clients. Q.

There never was a musical show on Broadway titled "The Gay Divorcee." The title of the stage hit in which Fred Astaire and Claire Luce were featured was "The Gay Di vorce." When this play was adapted for the films therewere objections that any divorce should be labeled as being "gay." So the title was changed to "The Gay Divorcee." Northwest Demos Protest Economy In Power Projects Portland (U.R) Democrats from Oregon, Washington, Ida ho and Montana have protested to congressional leaders against cuts made by the House Appro priations Committee in money for Northwest power projects. The protest came in telegrams to Sen. Lyndon Johnson, major ity leader, and Sam Rayburn, speaker of the House. Area Short of Power The telegrams said the North west was short of electric power. "To meet urgent needs of the region $500,000 has been re quested for the new John Day dam . . . Preliminary funds for the key Ice Harbor dam on the lower Snake were requested. Planning funds for Green Peter and Cougar dams were urged in the preliminary budget. The channel of the Columbia river at its mouth wasto have been deepened to 48 feet.

New York GJ.R) Iron Age predicted today the steel indus try "will come perilously close to a strike" before a new wage contract is signed with the CIO United Steelworkers. It also forecast that if Dave McDonald, head of the Steel workers union, gets what he wants a hike of "between 12 and 15 cents an hour" in cur rent negotiations, steel prices will go up about $4.50 per ton. . Iron Age commented that "it's a simple matter of prestige and economics for McDonald who is bucking against the liberal set tlement Walter Reuther won from the auto industry.
