We want a world on which no bombs will fall, but first
we must rebuild that part of the world which has been
devastated by bombs.
We want a world in which men can live without fear
of hunger or cold, but first we must relieve those who are
now cold and hungry.
We want a world of just and lasting peace, but first
the nations of the world must unite for action toward that

Big Five Veto
Power Issue Is
Still Deadlocked
Reds Call Meeting,
Rule Out Any Break
By The Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO, June 6-The big
five met on Russia's call today, but
Soviet sources ruled out any 'break
here, so far as they are concerned,
on the veto power issue which has
the United Nations Conference tight-
ly deadlocked.
Despite American hopefulness that
Moscow would modify the stand
which has sharply divided Russia on
one side and the United States, Brit-
ain, France and China on the other,
it was learned from officials in a posi-
tion to know that:
Her Interpretation Correct
1. Russia considers that the Yalta
Agreenent gives any of the big five
'the right to veto even discussion of
an international dispute in a world
security council. Despite urgings of
the other big four, she is standing on
her interpretation as the only cor-
rect one.
2. Consequently, Russia ruled out
any talk of the veto issue at today's
suddenly called meeting and brought
up, instead, lesser matters.
Expects No Rteply
3. The Soviet delegation expects
no reply here to the request sent
Moscow for reconsideration of the
Russian interpretation of the Yalta
formula.
4. This no-retreat attitude pres-
ents, in effect, a decision against any
modification of the Russian stand
which, by conflict with the view of
her big five colleagues, has.stalemat-
ed the conference. Unless the four
give way, it apparently passes the is-
sue to President Truman, Prime
Minister Churchill and Premier Sta-
lin for settlement.
Dane Tells of
Swedish Aid to
Underground
SAN FRANCISCO, June 6 -(P)-
Sweden, with the approval of the
Allies, secretly armed the Danish un-
derground army-in defiance of possi-
ble German aggression, a Danish del-
egate to the United Nations Confer-
ence disclosed today.
The story of Sweden's contribu-
tion to the fight against the Nazis
was told by 43-year-old Erik Hus-
feldt, one of Denmark's most promi
nent underground leaders.
Manufactured Ammunition
The tall Professor of Surgery at
Copenhagen University gave a de-
tailed account of how Swedish ships
met plucky little Danish fishing
boats in the dark hours before dawr.
off the Swedish coast with cases o
automatic pistols and ammunition.
He said Sweden manufactured th(
arms and ammunition under an
agreement with the United States
and Great Britain. Husfeldt person-
ally made arrangements for the ship-
ments during a 14-day visit to Stock-
holm last summer.
Secretly Helped Allies
This was the first disclosure tha
Sweden, which kept an outward pose
of strict neutrality carefully turned
to overwhelming German force, hack
secretly helped the Allies in the onl
way she could without declaring wai
on the Nazis and being invaded.
The Swedes explained to the Ger-
mans and anybody else who asked
where the arms were being shipped
that they were going to Switzerland,
another neutral country.

taking measures to bring to actuality the program outlined
by the World Youth Council delegates last Monday night.

Chinese Retake

Bomber Base
Former American
Air Field Is Captured
By The Associated Press
CHUNGKING, June 6-American
and Chinese reports said tonight that
veteran Chinese troops today recap-
tured the big former American
bomber base city of Liuchow in South
China. There was no confirmation
from the Chinese High Command.
The reports, if true, meant that
one of the most important Japanese
bases in China had been reoccupied
after seven months of Japanese oc-
cupation.
Armies Advance
The Chinese High Command re-
ported that Generalissimo Chiang
Kai-Shek's Armies were advancing
on Liuchow on a 180-mile arc from
the north, west and south, but was
silent on the exact position of Chi-
nese troops moving toward the
Kwangsi province rail hub.
U. S. Reports Fall
Americanrquarters reported the fall
of the city after Gen. Yang Sen gov-
ernor of Kweiyang (Kweichow) told a
Chinese engineers' conference that
the town had been seized. Chinese
Army headquarters said it had re-
ceived no direct report from the
front, and that the report should be
accepted with reserve.
Liuchow, 400 miles southeast of
Chungking, is the biggest rail and
road center in South China. It lies
astride the Japanese overland cor-
ridor fromKorea to Indo-China, al-
ready shattered by a 170-mile wide
breach torn in enemy lines by Chi-
nese forces.
Allies Honor
Anniversary
D-Day Landing
PARIS, June 6 -(P')- Victorious
Allied soldiers honored the memory
of their fallen comrades today in
simple ceremonies observing the first
anniversary of D-Day and the storm-
ing of the beaches of Normandy.
On famous Omaha and Utah
beaches, where a year ago Allied
troops fought and died in their suc-
cessful invasion of Hitler's European
fortress, Allied soldiers who survived
that day and the 11 months of war-
fare that ended in the final defeat
of Germany paid tribute to the
fallen.
In response to Gen. Eisenhower's
orders that June 6 be observed as a
soldier's holiday there were no big
parades, no blaring bands and no
long speeches.
Many who fought through Ger-
many's powerful beach defenses were
already back in the United States.
Others were enroute. But those who
were still on the continent or in the
United Kingdom, observed the day
quietly.
Senior Announcements
Seniors who have ordered com-
mencement announcements must
call for them between 9 and- 12
a. m. EWT (8-11 a. m. CWT) and
1:30-4:30 p. m. EWT (12:30-3:30

ter, president of the senior class.

DETROIT, June 6-For the first
time since the Japanese began send-
ing pilotless balloons over the United
States nearly three months ago, it
was disclosed today that Michigan
has fallen within range of such po-
tential weapons.
The disclosure was made in an an-
nouncement by the army's Sixth Ser-
vice Command, which said only that
"a Japanese ballr.Li has fallen in
Michigan within the past few
months." No details were given as
to the time or place it landed or to
the possibility that other balloons
might have descended on the state.
Similar incidents, including one in
which a woman and six children were
killed by a bomb balloon explosion
near Lakeview, Ore., May 5, had been
reported in western states, but none
previously had been revealed as far
east as Michigan.
State Balloon Had No Bomb
Capt. Donald S. Leonard, state
civilian defense director, said no
bombs were attachedto the balloon
which came into Michigan. He warn-
ed, however, that such objects should
not be touched and that they should
be reported immediately to police,
who will notify the proper military
authorities.'

announced several days ago that the
first pilotless balloons were launched
against this country March 10, Japa-
nese Army Day, and that several
hundred had been released daily since
then.
Discoveries Should Be Reported
Discovery of any .of the balloonsj
or bombs in Michigan should be re-
ported to the nearest civilian defense
official, police agency or the United
States Army Intelligence at Detroit,
Lansing, Grand Rapids, Paw Paw or
Flint, Leonard stated.
Leonard said that when an object
resembling a balloon or bomb is dis-
covered, a guard should be placed at
the site pending the arrival of army
officials. No unauthorized persons
should be permitted at the scene.
Leonard also said the army inform-
ed the OCD that some of the balloons
may be carrying incendiaries which
have failed to explode. They may be
ignited, he said, if they are molested.

WASHINGTON, June 6-()-Col.
John H. Baird, Assistant Medical Di-
rector of the Veterans Administra-
tion, told a House Committee today
he is "not completely satisfied" with
the standard of doctors in veterans
hospitals.
Rep. Edith Nourse Rogers (R-
Mass.) asked him whether he would
concede that much of the criticism
written by Albert Deutsch, reporter
for the New York newspaper PM, was
correct.
"Yes," said Col. Baird, "but these
published articles struck us at our
weakest time and didn't mention our
better points."

Show Russians
In Half of Reich
By The Associated Press
LONDON, June 6-Moscow n ws-
papers published maps today indicat-
ing that Russia would occupy ap-
proximately half of Germany on a
line running well west of Berlin and
including large areas now in Amer-
ican and British hands,. the Soviet
radio announced.
A British foreign office spokesman
said the American, British and
French occupation zones were "under
discussion" by the European Advis-
ory Council, but there was no indica-
tion when their boundaries would be
decided upon.
Would Include Leipzig
The zone of Russian occupation, as
outlined by the Moscow maps, would
take in the cities of Leipzig, Gotha
and Erfurt and all of Thuringia
province in central Germany now
held by American forces. At its far-
thest western bulge in Thuringia the
Russian zone would reach within 60
miles northwest of Gen. Eisenhower's
present headquarters at Frankfurt
on the Main.
The Russian zone delineation,
which was not authenticated by any
Allied source, came after the first
meeting of the four-power Allied
Control Council in Berlin yesterday,
which issued a declaration reducing
German to the status of a beaten
prisoner nation.
Anxiety in London
There was some anxiety in London
over the report by a Pool correspon-
dent that the session "ended abrupt-
ly" when the American, British and
French representatives learned that
the Russian delegate, Marshall Zhu-
kov, was not empowered to do any
more than sign the declaration of
supreme Allied authority.
Gen. Eisenhower and Field Mar-
shall Montgomery, the British rep-
resentative, flew back to their head-
quarters immediately after the meet-
ing.
