PACE SIX 'HERALD AND, NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON MaV3; League of Nations Peace Plan Readied For Big Peace Meet By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER 1 WASHINGTON. May 31 P- The United States is prepared to put forth at the forthcoming Big-Four meeting here a plan , for an international security or ganization patterned on the League of Nations and provid in a consultative formula for the use rf force to suppress war. By this formula each nation would retain final authority over its own troops, planes and ships and would assign no di rect power over them to the in ternational agency. The agency after consultations among its members, could recommend but not order that a member, nation use its troops for international police duty. Binding Commitment The only binding commitment on this vital point would be one which in effect has already been made in the Moscow four-power declaration that no participat ing country would use its forces in . foreign territory except in accordance with the decisions of the international agency to maintain peace. The .program, covering five main-points, will go before the representatives of Russia, Brit ain and China here this summer at the start of the informal dis cussions to which those govern ments were invited yesterday by Secretary Hull. The conferees very probably will be either the foreign secretaries of the fourj powers Eden, Molotov. T. V. Soong and Hull or their under secretaries. FDR Talks Plan President Roosevelt discussed the American proposal briefly at his news conference yester day. He called it a first draft, subject to great changes and vast improvement. It fits in, he said, with the American aim to work with the rest of the world with out in any. way detracting from United States independence.. He also made plain that, in the course of the talks with the other three powers, it may be modified or merged into a single conference plan, if one is agreed upon, in order to provide a sat isfactory basis for further inter national action toward creation of a league. - Prejudice Chances The intention , of the White House and state department is Sot to make the plan public un 1 after the Big-Four meeting. The feeling among officials now is that to release it earlier would provoke unnecessary controversy over changeable details and also . prejudice chances for successful negotiation. Yet as a result of detailed in quiry in responsible quarters it is possible to report that the main points of the American proposal are these: 1. - United Nations council (or executive committee) to be composed initially of this coun try, Britain. China and Russia but later to be expanded to a membership of seven or eight countries, with special emphasis on representation for small na tions. United Assembly 2. United Nations assembly to include at first all 35 United Nations and the nine so-called associated nations among which France is presently listed. The assembly would be expanded to take in, first, nations now neutral and, second reformed enemy countries. All nations large and small would be equal in sovereignty and voice. 3. Police power instead of a single police force proposals for which have no support in of- f icial quarters ' here power ' would be exercised by the league council against potential trouble makers througn . me military forces of member nations. Once the council had voted action in a specific, case the final decision WASHINGTON, May 31 UP) Congress laid aside its business temporarily today out of respect to the memory of the three sena tors and 10 representatives who nave died since the annual mem' orial exercises were held a year ago, . . v These 13, who have died since last June 5, were to be honored in services in the house cham ber (at 11:45 a. m., EWT). They were Reps. Guyer of Kansas; Culkin, Cullen and O'Leary, of New York; Creal, of Kentucky; Ditter, of Pennsylvan ia; Steagall, of Alabama; Lewis, of Colorado, and Wheat and Schuetz, of Illinois; and-Senators Barbour, of New Jersey; Van Nuys, of Indiana, and Mc Nary of Oregon. to act would be up to the one or more governments whose forces the council had called on. Escape Arguments (The arguments for this so called "escape" arrangement are (a) The U. S. senate almost cer tainly would not' accept a more far-reaching commitment, and (b) Whether' the' international system works depends on the ef fectiveness with which member nations actually support It.) 4, World court a judicial bodv either Dart of the league or independent of it, with juris diction over strictly .eg.xl ques tions. . .. 8. Mediation machinery this would function within the frame work of the assembly, designed disputes and similar hot-headed subjects. TOLL!

TRUSGDTT LED MEN GEN WITH THE FIFTH ARMY IN ITALY, May 31 (V) It muy now bo disclosed Hint MiiJ. Gcm. Lu clim K. Truscott, 40, a nntlva of Toxus, was in command of allied troops on the Anzto bniichhcnd from mld-Fobrunry until Lt. Ocn. Murk W. Clnrk arrived to direct tlio present offensive. Truscott arrived on the beach head us commander of tho third U. S. Infantry division which ho hud led through Sicily and tho first part of tho Italian cam paign. Ho was credited with making it one of the finest American infantry divisions. Tho division was a part of tho sixth corps of the fifth army which comprised Americans and n division ot lli'ltish which lund cd at Anzlo under tho command of another American major gen eral. Whether this gcnoral acted too cautiously in not pushing rapidly inland after the surprise landing, or whether tho decision to keep the beachhead forco in n compact area came from a higher com mander, is an unanswered ques tion. In any event, Truscott look over command of tho whole beachhead force after the second German counter-attack, which came near to hurling the allied troops into the sea. He successfully - beat back a third attack. After that tho Ger- Demo Keynoter? 1 ' 'it Gov.
