Dewey Speaks On Jie ruational Court ofJustice Terms It 'Heart and Soul' of Peace Efforts By The Associated Press NEW YORK, April 28. - Gov. Thomas E. Dewey declared tonight the proposed Court of International Justice to be discussed at the San Francisco World Security Conference was "the heart and soul of all our efforts" for peace. "If we do not lift our eyes and our hopes to the higher level of settle- ment of disputes by legal process, we have made little progress away from international rule by force alone," the 1944 Republican presidential ncminee said in an address prepared for delivery at the 48th annual ban- quet of the American-Irish Historical Society. Four Main Steps The work of the conference, Dewey. said, will be divided into four main steps. "The first will deal with the preamble and statement of princi- ples, the second with the assembly and its powers, the third with the council and the fourth with the per- manent Court of International Jus- tice." Dewey said the first three had been discussed widely. "I believe," he add- ed, "that the fourth major part of the San Francisco Conference, of which we have heard so little, is the part which will finally determine whether we have succeeded in start- ing down th true road to the final abolition of war. Conscience of Mankind "For the world court is the con- science of mankind determining, un-l der principles of justice, the disputes. which otherwise wculd bring down on us another holocaust."

DIXON Associated Press Correspondent IN GERMANY-The Germans started a parade and now it's only a matter of time untilsthat Lieutenant shows up on this side of the Elbe River. The General was German. He came across the river in a rowboat under a white flag and insisted he wanted only to arrange the surrender of some wounded soldiers and to transport some civilians to this side. Loath to Return But when the American officers re- fused to deal unless all enemy soldiers in the vicinity surrendered, the Wehrmacht officer seemed loath to return. Under the rules of land war- fare, he had a perfect right to re- turn since he had come under a flag of truce. Slowly he walked to the river bank. On the other side he had only angry Gestapo and Storm Troopers, or else the approaching Russians to face and neither prospect seemed likelyI to lead to a ripe old age. Finally he made his decision-to remain on this side of the river as a prisoner of war. Colonel Decides Time passed and another boat bear- ing a white flag appeared. It was a Wehrmacht Colonel sent to see what had happened to the General. They told him. Thoughtfully he considered the situation. Then he too decided it would be healthier to stay on this side and asked permission to surrender. It was accepted. A short time later a third boat was rowed across. A Major had been sent to see what had happened to the Colonel. After talking to his super- ior officers he also decided to cash in the return half of his roundtrip, ticket. Captain Appears By the time the tired looking Wehr- macht Captain showed up, grinning GI's were laying odds as to how far "surrender through channels" would go. Naturally the Captain was look- ing for the Major and naturally he too voted in favor of staying on the "safe side of the river." "It's only a matter of time now un- til that Lieutenant gets here," laughed a Sergeant on the river bank. One- general reached Allied hands without surreindering. He was a highranking Gestapo official who had been given general officer status in the Wehrmacht in order to help keep army men in line. When things got too hot he doffed his uniform, sneak- ed through the lines and posed as a civilian police officer in a German town U. S. troops had occupied. Identified by Papers He had burned most of his papers before he was picked up but enough were left to identify him definitely. He remained cocky during the first i Strikers Win at Ilelsey-Hayes DETROIT, April 28-(IP)-The Kel- sey-Hayes Wheel Company, scene of two strikes within less than three weeks, agreed today to abide by a gov- ernment agency's order to rehire 13 discharged men but "only in the in- terest of war production."
