Tne people are friendly, ideal ists and intelligent. A 15-year government educational program has cut illiteracy from 65 per cent •o fifty per cent and greater ad vances will be made in the future. Dr Caihoun said that the coun try is divided into four great areas, the Amazon valley, the northeast, central, and southern sections. Brazil's main products a,e coffee, cotton, chocolate, su gar woods of all types, rubber and iron ore. The central state produces more than 70 per cent of the world’s iron ore. Although coal is scarce, maganese and dia monds are mined and it has the deepest gold mine in the world. Dr. Calhoun believes that the fu ture of the country lies in the development of heavy industries, which now is being planned. He laid that the Brazilian govern ment would welcome anyone who , anted to throw in their lot in the development of the country which has a freedom of enterprise guar anteed under the constitution. He ended his speech by asking That all citizens of the U. S. share , in the work of keeping the fri end ship of the colossus to the south. At the beginning of the meeting Benjamin Gurr was introduced as a new member, and C. W. Miller, veteran of 32 months overseas, was welcomed as a guest. 17 RYUKYUS ATTACK STILL UNDER WAY (Continued from Page One) shore installations, however, was made only yesterday. Fifteen more Japanese planes were de stroyed on the ground in these operations. Nimitz did not report which of the Ryukyus ■ were targets for yesterday's shelling, bombing and strafing, but presumably Okinawa was included. The Admiral re ported only that shore installa tions were attacked. These nor mally would include airfields and their facilities, including fuel, am munition and supply dumps, and enemy strong points designed to repel an amphibious attack. -V Confederate Monument Easter Services Set Arrangements for the Easter Sunrise service to be held at the foot of the Confederate Monument in Oakdale cemetery at 7 a.m. Sunday have been completed by the Special Committee appointed by the Ministerial Association, it was announced.

(Adv.) You Can Fight, Too, Buy War Bonds Stettinius Is Silent On Yalta Ballot Pact wAoniiNCjTON, March 30 —Upj— Secretary of State Stettinius today said nothing has happened to dis courage him about creating a suc cessful world organization at San Francisco. But he declined to dis cuss the Big-Three vote ratio pro jected at Yalta. Stettinius held a news conference, immediately after conferring with three members of the U. S. dele gation—Senators Tom Connally (D Tex) and Arthur H. Vandenberg (R-Mich) and Rep. Sol Bloom <D NY). When they departed, the Con gressmen told reporters who sought more details of the agree ment on vot.ng in the prospective world assembly that Stattinius would have a statement. Instead, the Secretary of State said he would answer questions next week. Most of the questions asked Stat tinius related to the White House disclosure yesterday that Premier Stalin had asked three votes in the assembly and that President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill agreed to support this claim, provided the United States also had three. The Eritish Commonwealth of Nations on the basis of member ship in the United Nations would have a total of six. Taking up the President’s an nouncement. Stettinius placed spe cial emphasis on that protion which said the Big Three agreed that the ultimate decision on represen tation in the assembly of the world organization would be made at the Con Vvinnieon ' The agreement was not included in the Yalta communique, he ad ded, because that was confined to decisions. The vote plan, he added, must go before the conference. Stettinius then'replied affirma tively when asked whether the Dumbarton Oaks proposals were not also to be put before the world conference for decision by all the United Nations. Asked whether the United States was disappointed at the Russian choice of Ambassador Andrei Gro myko to head their delegation, in stead of Foreign Commissar V. M. Molotov, the Secretary replied that this Government welcomes any delegation sent by the Soviet Union and will work with it in complete harmony. Stettinius repeatedly turned aside all questions on whether the White Russian and the Ukrainian repub lics, for which Russia wants votes in the assembly, also would have representatives and separate votes during the San Francisco Confer ence. The sponsoring nations, he said, had agreed that only United Na tions would attend the conference. But ‘he declined to say whether Russia would be considered more than one United Nation. A reporter asked Stattinius on what he based his confidence that San Francisco would be a success. He replied it is based oh his faith that the war has not been fought in vain. While attention centered on the voting agreement, one high rank ing official who would not permit use of his name said flatly that no additional secret agreements al tering the Dumbarton Oaks pro _1 _ i_a i__i_3 .4. uau wvvu * vuvuvu ** v ^ Bloom told a reporter in the wake of White House disclosure of the Crimean agreement that ‘‘by any reasoning we should have the same vote as any empire of any country in the world.” Bloom left no doubt that the American delegation will be asked to sponsor a proposal of this na ture if the Yalta understanding to give the United States and Russia three votes each in the assembly is pressed at San Francisco. The White House announced yes terday that Premier Stalin had ask ed for one vote for the Moscow government and one each for he Ukrainian republic and the White Russian republic. President Roose velt and Prime Minister Churchill agreed to back this claim, pro vided the United States is given three votes also. Declaring that the British would have six seats for the United King dom, Canada, Australia, India, New Zealand and South Africa, Bloom said it would be “unfair” for- the United States to have only three. “By the same reasoning,” he said, “we should have six.” ■While there was some disposi tion to discount the controversy over voting strength in an assem bly that, in fact, will have little more than debating powers. Sena tor Vandenberg (R-Micht indicat ed he would champion the cause of the little nations. “I deeply disagree with any vot ing proposal which would destroy the ‘sovereign equality of nations' in the peace league’s assembly, as previously proposed at Dum barton Oaks,” Vandenberg said in a statement. He, too, is a delegate. “This aoplies jus tas much to extra votes for us as well as any other nation,” Vandenberg said. “This assembly must continue to be tomorrow’s free and untram meled “town meeting of the world.’ The voice of the great powers will be amply protected in the council.” Chairman Connally (D-Tex) of the Senate Foreign Relations Com mittee and also a delegate de clined comment beyond a predic tion that the disclosure would be discussed at today’s meeting of the American group with Secre tary of State Stettinius. It apparently vyas Connally s viewpoint that a great deal is be ing made over voting procedure that is important only in giving each of the United Nations a voice in raising world issues. Effective action of (he proposed league would be taken by an 11-member council — rather than the all-na }ons assembly — and in most :ases would require a unanimous vote °f the five largest nations. ■But the disclosure of the secret agreement caused some uneasi ness in Congress, where there was conjecture that other and possibly more far-reaching Yalta pacts re main to be made public. Following closely the announce ment that the Soviets had named Ambassador Andrei A. Gromyko as head of their delegation, pub lication of the voting demand caus ed some legislators to wonder pri vately if Premier Stalin has mark ed down the San Francisco Con ference as only a way-station on the road to the future. Other pow ers are sending their foreign min isters. not ambassadors. Gromyko, however, told news men earlier in the day that any interpretation that Russian inter est in the conference is declining “is a false conclusion.” Disclosure of the voting ratio agreement failed to create a stir in either London or Ottawa. Re action among diplomats in the British capital was confined to ob servations that final decision rests with the conference itself. A number, of law-makers here auupieu max axnxuae, too, noting that the small nations at San Francisco will outnumber the large powers there. Senator Austin (R-Vt) said dif ficulties involved in apportioning the assembly vote to the relative strength of each nation “seem impracticable.” “I’m glad the subject is not a closed one and that it will be calmly and carefully considered at San Francisco,” he said. Senator Burton (R-Ohio) called the question “typically a matter for consideration” by the confer ence. Like Bloom, Senator Pepper (D Fla) thpught it unfair for the Brit ish Commonwealth to have a vote for each nation, while the United States would have only three. Senator Taft (R-Ohio) quipped that if the United States was to have only three, “one might rep resent Ohio, another California and a third the rest of the coun try.” But Senator Millikin (R-Colo) thought the Big Three had open ed a Pandora’s Box which would invite demands from the small na tions for additional voting power. “It’s the old League of Nations fight all over again,” he remark ed. RED CROSS FUND STILL CLIMBING Donations, to the Red Cross War Fund drive in the county continued yesterday, and Campaign Chair man Robert Strange announced that headquarters in the the lobby of the Tidewater building. at Sec ond and Princess streets would re main open all next week until so licitation and returns were com pleted.
