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.

We know what we want, but act to realize our wants. We have others plan the peace. Yet that want to help make it. One of us alone is powerless. we have not been able to had to sit back and watch peace is our peace. We United, we can act to make our wants a reality. The first step toward a united youth is to organize on a small scale. Today a meeting is being held to form all- campus groups into one organization for the purpose of taking measures to bring to actuality the program outlined by the World Youth Council delegates last Monday night. An all-campus organization can work to help the youth of other nations in rehabilitation. An all-campus organization can send delegates to the world-wide youth conferences planned for the future. An all-campus organization presents an opportunity for University students to take an active interest in world affairs. This is our chance to share in the making of the peace.

China 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.

By The Associated Press GUAM, June 7, Thursday-The Sixth Marine Division captured all of Naha airfield, biggest on Okinawa, as advances were scored on all sectors Tuesday and Wednesday in the closing phase of the 68-day old campaign, Fleet Headquarters announced today.

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.' A Japanese propaganda spokesman Daily Columnist Students interested in trying out for the position of Daily column- ist for the 8-week summer ses- sion should submit their names and, if possible, three sample col- umns to the Editorial Director by Thursday, June 14.

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. Vet Hosptrals Investigated1 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." I Americans Advance in All Sectors Of Okinawa in Land-Based Operations Ensian Delayed by War-tine Printing Because of unexpected war-time printing delays, the 1945 Michi- ganensian will not be ready for distribution before the end of the semester, it was announced yester- day.

Red Newsniaps 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.

The mud and rain were such a handicap that planes had to para- chute supplies to the sloshing ground forces. Guns of the United States Pacific Fleet poured shells in support, Cutting Enemy Remnants Spearheads of the five divisions were driving toward junctures, cut- ting up the enemy remnants. On the east coast, the Seventh Infantry Di- vision completed the occupation of all the Chinen peninsula Tuesday on the arm of a fleet anchorage already in use by American warships. Amphibious Landing Made On the west coast, the Sixth Ma- rine Division spread out over Oroku peninsula, where an amphibious land- ing was made Monday and which in- cludes, the fallen Naha airfield. Today's communique disclosed that airfields built on Okinawa and ad- jacent le Shima already are sending ground-based planes against other enemy islands in the Ryukyus and the Japanese homeland. Previously the Japanese homeland had been under attacks of B-29s in the Mar- ianas, ground-based fighters on Iwo, carrier-based planes and search planes of an air wing at Okinawa.
