Congresi he pointed out, may repeal the legls lation at any itme.

Nimitz said he believed “we hav fought the last war in which ou homeland will be spared the vlolenc of our enemies,” and added: RISK DEVASTATION “Unless the American people ar willing to risk witnessing the devas tation of our coastal cities as War saw, Berlin, Manila and Tokyo hav been devastated, enactment of thl legislation is necessary.” "We must be prepared to defem ourselves and we must be preparei to resist with maximum power li a minimum of time...

Mr. Ponder had ■ been seriously ill for about three weeks. Funeral arrangements are in definite pending the arrival of the body here, but funeral rites will probably be held here Monday.

OPPOSITION Starts On Pass One s 3 e e d e A s d e r t t '» ft n foreign affairs of Mexico, said the big powers should be given this veto right. Otherwise he argued an amendment might be voted that •would cause one of them to pull out of the league and wreck it. Alberto Alleras Camargo, for eign minister of Colombia, pro tested against the whole veto sys tem, but said in the present sit uation it was Justified. Senator Rolin then suggested that the committee make a list of all those who wanted to speak in today’s sessions (at 3 and 8 p. m. P.W.T.) But Peter Fraser of New Zealand and Herbert V. Evatt of Australia, small nation leaders in the veto fight, blocked this with heated objections. Evatt said that to stop debate was even worse than the veto itself. Earlier, the committee produced a temporary split in ranks of the big powers when Prance voted with the small nations on two plans for automatic revision of the charter: 1. Canada and Brazil jointly pro posed that between five and 10 years after the league is set up a conference should be held to over haul the charter. The Big-Five opposed this and the vote was 23 for, 17 against, 9 not voting and one absent. A two-thirds vote was required, so the proposal fail ed narrowly. 2. South Africa then proposed that the amending conference be held any time within 10 years. This also failed with 28 for and 17 a gainst. Prance voted with the majority of small nations in both cases. [ MIKOLAJCZYK Starts On Par* One l---—— underway for the meeting of Pres ■ ident Truman, Marshal Stalin and l Prime Minister Churchill, with i the site to be Berlin. This waa made official last night r by an announcement from 10 Downing street, official residence of Prime Minister Churchill. A spokesman said the date had not been fixed definitely, but the Prime Minister himself had said it would be before July 26. First Lord of the Admiralty , Brendan Bracken said the confer i ence would take place at "the very l time the votes are being counted” , in Britain’s national election. This • would mean it could be any time between July 6, date for the elec s tion, and July 27, when the re ' suits are expected to be announc ■ ed. Bracken assailed a statement by - Harold Laskl, chairman of the 5 Labor party, that Laborites would 5 not be bound by Big Three decis ! ions, despite the fact that Labor | ite MaJ. Clement Attlee, who was 1 deputy Prime minister in Church 3 ill’s cabinet, had accepted the 5 Prime Minister’s offer to attend as a "friend and counsellor.’* C. C.

CREWMEN BATTLE FLAMES ON CARRIER SARATOGA—Members of the crew battle flames raging on the Urcraft Carrier U. S. S. Saratoga after the veteran flat top was hit by seven Jap bombs while operating off :wo Jima Feb. 21. The ship was saved and sailed under her own power to Pudget Sound Navy Yard at Bremer on Wash., for reoairs.—(AP WireDhoto from U. S. Navy). German Industry Closely Watched As Threat To Peace PARIS, June 16—(/P)—German Industry, twice the arsenal of ag gression, is almost non-existent today as the Allies await determi nation of how it can come to life without once again endangering world peace. Some German plants — several hundred in number, have been per mitted to reopen for production which the military government considers essential, but present Allied regulations permit German plants to operate only if their pro ducts are wanted by the Allied armies or if production is essen tial to maintain a minimum stan dard of life for the German civil ian population. The management of the Krupp works, steel and munitions manu facturing organization, has sub mitted a request to resume pro duction, without stating what it wanted to produce. The request said production was necessary for the reconstruction of Germany. The application was returned for more details. KRUPP, FARBEN Officers of Lt. Gen. Leonard T. Gerow's U. 8. 15th army—the unit which by virtue of its occupation of the Saar and Rhine valley and part of the Ruhr has been guard ing the center of Germany’s pro ductive might — have recom mended that both Krupp and I. G. Farben-Industrie be operated by special conimissions, on the grounds that the organizations are too big and potentially too dangerous to be lumped with ordinary manufac turers in the control problem. This summary of the present status of industrial control in Ger many is based on reports to 15th army headquarters. The present enforced shut down of German production is in an interim stage in the com plete transformation of the nation, Gerow’s headquarters said. Presumably Germany will produce again under controls designed to eliminate any war potential but pending Allied control council determination of how this can be done, Ger many’s economic activity will be kept tightly restricted. During this transitory stage, control of German production is exercised essentially by several headquarters controlling the Al lied occupational armies. DEATH TAKES J. W. RICH J. W.
