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."

Missing something? How about that suit you sent to the
cleaners? Perhaps you left the missing articles in one of the
pockets. 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
