52 Senators To

WASHINGTON. June 25 (St
" Senate ratification of the United
Nations charter became largely
a question -or timing today with
52 senators already, on record
ior it.
Some of the warmest advo
cates of American participation
in the international peace pre
serving organization, want to
take full advantage of the mo
mentum built up at San Fran
cisco. They want to rush the
ratification resolution through
the foreign relations committee
and out to the senate floor.
Others counsel full, unhurried
deliberations in both places.
They say it would be almost
physically impossible to ratify
the charter in time for President
Truman to take it with him to
the BiB Three meeting. Thev al.
so believe the American people
as well as the senators would
profit by a thorough study and
uiscussion oi tne document

Off As Base
GUAM, June 25 WV-Hard-won
Okinawa was paying oft as
an air base today, with Ameri
can raids announced against
Kyushu, the Sakishlmas and
elsewhere in the Western Paci
fic while the last scattered Jap
anese survivors were being
killed or rounded up.
Adm. Chester W. Nimltx an
nounced that extensive patrols
using rifles and grenades had
raised the enemy casualties
through Saturday to 101,853
dead and 7902 captured. Small
bands of Japanese still were
trying vainly to filter into tne

exception of Luzon.
L!
The strike-bound plant of the
T. a. Seemes Lumoer company,
locatea- near Portola, Calif., and
owned by a Klamath Falls man,
burned to the ground last week.
Seemes, who lives at 43b pa
cific terrace, could not be lo
cated today for a statement as
to whether he plans to rebuild
the plant.
Labor troubles had prevailed
at the plant since June 11, when
contract negotiations broke
down and CIO pickets were
S laced around the plant, accord
lg to information from Reno.
Later, the mill went into partial
operation, with some workers
remaining outside to picket and
others staying in the plant to
work. -
The fire broke out at 4 a. m.
June 20 and within a short
time the' mill was destroyed.
The bunkhouses'and lumber in
the yard were not damaged.
SPECIAL VENiKE
The case of the State of -Oregon

Roberts of Medford and District
Attorney Clarence A. Humble.
G. W. KeUington of Medford is
assisting in the defense of Craw
ford and J. a. Napier is acting
witn jaumoie lor tne prosecu
tion. Roberts interrogated prospec
tive jurors as to any impression
they might have formed by dis
cussion of the case or by read
ing newspaper articles concern'
ing the case. He also asked ven
iremen if the. fact that they
knew the district attorney and
did not know him (Robert) would
in any way influence their im
partial hearing of the case.

grand jury of Klamath county
charged with committing rape
on Elizabeth Peterson at a Mills
addition home on February 20
On June 5 he was acquitted of
sodomy against the same wo

A man and girl, neither ot whom
will ever walk again, were
honeymooning happily here to
day, rolling aoout in their wheel

purchased home.
Fred Camp, 33, Portland,
whose -back was broken 16
years ago, and Bernice Nightin
gale, 23, Stayton, who fractured
her back six years ago, were
married here Saturday night in

SETTLED RIGHT if America's
future is to be secure. He says:
"America's future security
perhaps the fate of mankind
depends on our retaining the use
of our bloodily won Pacific
bases . . . Our air power must
be kept in a position to carry
our attacks home to the heart
of any aggressor who may threat
en us , . . our own b-zbs can al
ready strike ANYWHERE IN
THE WORLD if we keep the use
of certain strategic bases."
He adds that WITH these
bases America's entire strategic
air force can be moved from San
Francisco to Okinawa in 36
hours (without them, he means,
it WOULDN'T be possible). He
concludes: "We shouldn't allow
ANYTHING to stop us from tak
ing advantage of the power such
a strategic air force has."

TN Moscow, Marshal . Zhukov,
A speaking at the tomb of Lenin
in a great celebration in which
Hitler's swastika flag was first
dragged through the Red Square
and then thrown into a gutter,
says: "Soviet Russia now has
the most modern and powerful
ARMY in the world. We must
increasingly perfect our military
skill and develop our military
science."
Note that Zhukev speaks of
the Russian ARMY. From his
emphasii on the ARMY, those
who hope for friendly Russian-
American ' co-operation In the
world of the future draw consid
erable consolation.; R u s si a n
ARMY strength is unlike'" to be
aimed at OVERSEAS WAR.
If he had urged soviet Russia
to maintain the greatest AIR

in the world it would have been
less reassuring.

tion concerning (he future meet
ing betwoun Gen, Franco, lllllor
and Ribbcutrop,
"Mussolini and Franco dis
cussed tlio political situation in
a five-hour conversation. Franco
stated the following:
"He remains firm In his con
viction that the cause of the
axis will triumph. Spain wants
to continue working with the
axis in order to contribute its
share to the inevilublo victory.
"However, Spain is suffering
from starvation and is militarily
completely unprepared. Franco,
accordingly, ' is not in a posi
tion to bring effective aid to
the cause of the axis.
Conditions Set
"Under any circumstances
Spain's entrance into the war
is dependent upon these condi
tions: "1. On economic and military
aid.
"2. On a definition ot orticlo
5 of the well-known program of
the three powers. In tills defin
ition it must be stated that
Spain, in addition to Gibraltar,
will also get French Morocco.
"In, connection with his econ
omic ' agreements with the
United States and Great Brit
ain, Franco stated that these
had nothing to do with his po
litical obligations.
"If any military action Is
taken against Gibraltar the at
tack must bo carried out as a
Spanish operation, even if it
does have the support of the
German army.
"Franco gave Mussolini a
copy of the stntement ot the
Spanish general staff in which
Spain's military and civilian
needs were stated. This copy
is the same as that already sent
to the German government.
Mussolini remarked that the
statement was very emphatic.
Spam Not Ready
"At the end of the conversa
tion the following communique
was published: 'Mussolini shared
the common impression that
Spain was not in a position to
enter into a war nnd even if
Germany were ready to grant
all that Spain desired a period
of several months would bo re
quired for tho transportation of
supplies. Mussolini was there
fore of the opinion that Ger
many and Italy should make
even fewer concessions t o
Franco in order to insure
Spain's position among the axis
powers. In this way Spain could
utilize the time in order to
conquer its present threat of
starvation and also to improve
Its position concerning arma
ments. .
"These are all the statements
which the Italian minister made
on the behalf of Mussolini.
."I told Cosmelli . that Hitlct'
and Ribbcntrop" were thankful
for this information which
would be of use in their meet
ing in Bordlgliern."
There Is no record that the
proposed meeting of Franco and
Hitler at Bordighcra ever took
place. Later in 1041, however,
Ramon Serrano Suncr, then
Franco's foreign minister, went
to Berlin and conferred with
officials.
The meeting with Mussolini
took place at Bordlghera on
February 12. ,
