JUNE 29. 1945 PLEADS FOR Limitations On Power Of Stettinius Proposed By JACK BELL WASHINGTON. June 29 VP) Senator Vandenberg (R-Mich.) told his colleagues today they must accept the United Nations charter as a brave experiment or cheat the world of its only collective chance" for peace. In a vigorous endorsement of the San Francisco conference agreement for formation of an international organization, the chairman of the republican sen atorial conference called the pledges "a new emancipation proclamation for the world." Want Limitations ' Before the tall Michigan sen ator took the floor, Senator Taft oi unto, cnairman of the repub lican steering committee, said he and others are thinking of the authority Edward R. Stet tinius Jr., will wield as Amer ican delegate on the proposed world security council. Speaking from a prepared manuscript, Vandenberg said' he would suDtwrt the charter "in the deep conviction that the al ternative is physical and moral chaos in many weary places of the earth." "Great Promise" "I shall do it because there must be no default in our oft pledged purpose to outlaw ag gression so far as lies -within OUT human-power," he declared. i snau ao it because this plan, regardless of infirmities, holds great promise that the United Nations may collaborate for peace as effectively as they have maae common cause lor war. "I shall do it because Deace must not be cheated out of its only collective chance. ... I doubt if there could ever be another or better start." Vandenberg, who helped draft the charter as an American dele gate, said the pacific settlement of disputes, not force, is the real genius of the charter, addme: "It is my profound belief that the pacific contacts and consul tations which wilt constantly be maintained by the Dowers and particularly the great powers pius tnc pacuic routines which every dispute must exhaust be fore it is subject to any sort of sanctions, can resolve most, if not all, of the controversies which otherwise might lead once more to war." E SUCCESSION BILL WASHINGTON, June 29 (P) rne house today passed tne ad ministration bill after putting its speaker next in line for the presidency, after the vice pres ident.

If there is no speaker the presidency would go to the president pro tern of the senate to serve until the house can elect a SDeaker. Before passing the bill the house killed a proposal for special presidential election in the event of a White House va cancy. The SDecial election pro posal was attacked as unconsti tutional.

Pocketbooks, red and blue tokens, keys, ' handker chiefs and letters especially unmailed ones are but a few of the common "hitch hikers" discovered by cleaning em ployes. All types and sizes of pencils from chewed stubs to Parker 51's are found deep In pockets or clipped on coats. In working clothes there is usually an assortment of nails, bolts, and nuts, while little boys dote on collecting marbles and half-eaten candy bars. Take your choice of a knife from the San Francisco exposition or a pocketful of theatre passes. The more valuable things include gas stamps, cigarettes, traveling checks, diamond stick pins, wrist watches. Lipstick, if overlooked by the cleaner, may easily ruin a dress while matches will be lighted by the heat of the tumbler.
