Plan Sent to
Upper House
Both Parties Join
In Approving Bill
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON, June 7-By a re-
sounding 345-to-18 vote, the House
passed and sent to the Senate today
legislation ratifying the Bretton
Woods agreements setting up a world
bank and monetary stabilization
fund.
Applause greeted Speaker Ray-
burn's announcement of the vote, in
which 205 Democrats were joined by
138 Republicans and two minor party
members in the overwhelming ap-
proval of the measure. All the 18
"no" votes were cast by Republicans.
Secretary Morgenthau immedi-
ately hailed the decision, saying
the House "has spoken forcefully
for the principle of international
cooperation." He said in a state-
ment it presages "an era of world
cooperation which will lead to pros-
perity for all."
The United States is the first of
the 44 nations to act on ratifica-
tion legislation.
As outlined by Treasury depart-
ment officials, here is how the Bret-
ton Woods agreements would work:
WORLD BANK
1. Encourage international invest-
meit in productive enterprise in war
devastated countries and develop-
ment of natural resources, public
utilities and industries in underde-
veloped countries. The bank would
guarantee loans by private lenders
and make some loans out of its own
resources.
2. Male long-term currency stabil-
ization loans to countries whose
money encounters difficulty.
3. Each member nation would share
in the bank risks in proportion to
the stock it held.
Of the $9,100,000,000 bank capital,
the United States would subscribe
$3,175,000,000. Members would pay
in at the start 10 percent of their
subscription, which would mean
$317,500,000 for the United States.
FUND
1. Stabilize currencies of all co-
operating nations in terms of gold.
2. Progressively remove barriers
against making payments across
international boundaries.
3. Provide a revolving fund of
foreign exchange for member
countries to enable them in times
of stress to maintain stable and
unrestricted currency relationships.
Of the $8,500,000,000 fund assets
the United States would subscribe
$2,750,000,000.
The ratification legislation makes
no change whatever in the language
of the agreements drawn at Bretton
Woods. It does, however, "interpret"
the language.

Barber Chair
Readers Rebuked
PONTIAC, MICH., June 7-01P)
-The State Barbers Association
frowns on the practice of patrons
reading in barber chairs.
Besides being annoying, the bar-
bers complain, concentration on a
newspaper or magazine stiffens
the reader's neck.
Before the association at its
annual convention yesterday
adopted a resolution discouraging
the practice, one barber exclaimed,
"no one would think of reading a
newspaper while getting a tooth
pulled."

PRESS CONFERENCE:
Truman Vetoes 'Bigi Fe'
Meeting on Syrian Question
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON, June 7-President
Truman, in a fast-moving news con-
ference, today vetoed a "Big Five"
meeting sought by France to explore
the dynamite-laden middle eastern
qute. '1.
However, he unfolded further plans
for the forthcoming "Big Three"
meeting on world affairs with Prime
Minister Churchill and Premier Sta-
lin, saying it would be held within 40
days. The President said he saw no
need for bringing other powers in on
this discussion.
Asked about a "Big Five" meeting
to settle the French dispute with Sy-
ria, the President said he would not
favor it and thought the difficulty
would be worked out on a lower level
basis.
The President said he had not seen
a note delivered by French Ambas-
sador Henri Bonnet inviting the U.
S., Britain, Russia and China to a
conference on the Near East but reit-
erated that he did not believe a Five-
Power meeting would be necessary.
Then in rapid order the President
announced:
1. The appointment of Navy Lt.
Paul M.Herzog as Chairman of the
National Labor Relations Board re-
placing H. A. Millis, who it was
explained is leaving because of poor
health.
2. The appointment of W. Stu-
Struthers Burt
To Give Annual
Hopwood Talk
Struthers Burt, well-known Amer-
ican author, will be the guest speak-
er at the Annual Hopwood- award
presentation at 4:30 p. m. EWT (3:30
p. in. CWT), Friday, June 15, in
Rackham Lecture Hall.
Winners of approximately $7,000 in
the major and minor awards in fic-
tion, drama, essay and poettry in the
1945 Spring Hopwood Contest will
be announced at the lecture.
Burt will speak on "The Unreality
of Realism." He was selected as the
speaker, according to Prof. Roy W.
Cowden, director of the Hopwood
Awards, because "he is very American
and very much alive."
Burt's latest book, "Philadelphia,
Holy Experiment," published this
year, is the biography of the Quaker
City and is a product of many years
experience in that city. "Along These
Streets" is also set in Philadelphia.
Born in Baltimore in 1882, he is a
graduate of Princeton and attended
oxford. His varied career includes
reporting, teaching and ranching as
well as writing novels, short stories,
poetry and non-fiction.

ceed former Senator Guy M. Gil-
lette of Iowa as chairman of the

dent said the question whether the

a one man control is a matter for
Congress, not the White House, top
decide.

Hill as Undersecretary of Agriculture
and the appointment of John B.
Hutson, Deputy Director of War
Mobilization, to succeed him. Hill is

4. His complete approval of the
report of Snpreme Court Justice
Robert Jackson calling for sure
punishment of Nazi criminals, even
if the U. S. should have to proceed
alone with the punishment of those
in its possession. However he did
not think such a course was neces-
sary since the British had acquies-
ced in an overall tribunal and he
believes the French and Russians
are likely to do so soon.

garding the "Big Five" veto stale-
mate at the'Postwar Security Con-
ference would be discussed from
San Francisco shortly.

that he would sign legislation rais-
ing their salaries from the present

From Annapolis
Son of 'U' Professor
Rates Second in Class
A former University student and
Ann Arbor resident was graduated
second from the highest in. his class
of 1044 men at the Naval Academy
at Annapolis June 6.
He is Harry Nelson Upthegrove,
son of Professor and Mrs. Clair Up-
thegrove of 1417 Granger. Gradua-
tion from the Academy was accom-
panied by a commission as ensign in
the United States Navy.
Ens. Upthegrove entered the engi-
neering college of the University in
1940 upon graduation from Ann Ar-
bor high school. He studied naval
architecture and marine engineering
until 1942, when he took the com-
petitive Naval Reserve Officer exam
for entrance into Annapolis.
During June week ceremonies at
the Academy, Ens. Upthegrove was
awarded the National Women's Re-
lief Corps prize of a $100 bond for
proficiency in Rules of the Road.
In regimental organization he held
the rank of midshipman lieutenant
commander in the first group, mid-
shipman first petty officer in the
second and midshipman lieutenant
in the final group. Ens. Upthegrove
received class numerals in gymnas-
tics and in his plebe year qualified as

Free Hearing
Is Assured
For Nations
Stettinius Declares
Parley Speeded
By The Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO, June 7-Secre-
tary of State Stettinius announced
formally today a big-five agreement
"assuring freedom of hearing and
discussion" on international disputes
in a world security council.
With this agreement, Stettinius
told an applauding news conference,
'e believed it would make it possible
for the Urfited Nations conference
to "proceed with promptness and
dispatch."
He expressed his confidence in the
successful condlusion of its all-im-
portant task in drafting a world
peace-keeping charter.
Under the agreement, Stettinius
explained in a formal statement, the
big five will have veto power over
"all decisions in the security coun-
cil relating to enforcement action
and - except as to parties to dis-
pates - in all decisions for peaceful
settlement."
Discussion Allowed
But the veto, he said, does not
apply "to the right of any nation to
bring a dispute before the council"
for discussion, and "no individual
member of the council can alone pre-
vent a consideration and discussion
by the council of a dispute or situa-
tion thus brought to its attention."
Russians on one side had been in-
sisting that the veto should apply
even to discussion of international
quarrels in the security council. The
rest of the big five - France, China,
Britain and the United States-con-
tended that it should not.
Their differences apparently were
composed by direct negotiations in-
volving President Truman and Pre-
mier Stalin.
Hopkins Leaves Moscow
Mr. Truman had a personal envoy,
Harry L. Hopkins, consulting with
Stalin. Hopkins left Moscow today
and Truman announced he expected
soon the declaration which Stettinius
issued this afternoon.
There was talk that the conference
may finish its task of writing the
charter for a world organization by
June 15.
Stettinius, however, would make no
forecast so exact. He told his news
conference it might require eight
days to two weeks.
