UNCIO Delegates Spurred By Victory Amazing Degree Os Unanimity Is Seen San Francisco, May B.— (UP) — The end of the war in Europe ' spurred delegates at the United Nations conference today to hasten | the creation of a world organization- ! strong enough to prevent another I war. The delegates will "celebrate” the historic announcement of the end of the war with only a minute of silence. Then they will return to long hours of work designed to accomplish their task here within the next two or three weeks. The end of the European war finds this conference in an extremely favorable position. The big powers are in an amazing degree of unanimity on all fundamental issues pertaining to the new world peace-keeping organization. It has been little short of a miracle that the unanimity has been attained. There have been many more or less side issues which, with less determination to succeed on the part of the leaders, could have bogged down the confererice. On the Polish issue especially, feeling on both sides has been most bitter. But the leaders here succeeded ih not letting it interfere with the task, of building a charter for a world organization. The same is true of the early fight over the chairmanship, the admission of Argentina, etc. This conference is in sharp contrast to the phase of the Versailles conference in 1919 which drafted the League of Nations covenant. There were weeks and weeks of bickering there and never any semblance of unanimity among the leading powers. The atmosphere here augurs well for greater success at this conference than anticipated by even the most optimistic a month ago. The United States. Great Britain. Russia and China are How ready to turn the conference over to the little nations., In effect, the "little nation” phase begins today after nearly two weeks of domination by the big ones. The others now wilt have a chance Co be heard, but are expected generally to accept the broad outline of the plan on which the big powers are agreed. 9 —_____ Rural Commencement Exercises Saturday Lyman L.

Peacetime Standing 1 Army Os 500,000 I Four Million Active Reserves Are Wanted 1 Washington, May 8. — (UP) — I The war department wants a postwar peacetime standing army of i 500,000 regulars backed up by 4.- . 000,000 active reserves, it was dis- ; closed today. The army's postwar plans were outlined at a closed session of the houee military affairs committee by Brig. Gen. Edward A. Evans of the army general staff co'mmilt<9‘ ] for reserve policy. Committee members said army . plans, based on the assumption that ■ congress will approve compulsory peacetime training, would give the nation a total of 4,500,000 trained 1 men who could be thrown into the field In approximately 120 days. What congress will do about a compulsory training program re- ' mains to be seen, but chairman Clifton A. Woodrum, D.. Va., of the house postwar military policy committee has announced that his group will begin open hearings on the subject fiext month. The total of 4,500,000 asked by the army would include the 500.000 reguVvrs. 400,000 to 500.000 men who would be in the compulsory training program at a given time, active reserves who had completed iheir training and probably the national guard, committee members said. Under compulsory braining hills beTorc congress, a trainee would ba listed as an a"active reserve" for a period of several years after completing his training. In comparison to the size of this farce, the army had 302,968 enlisted men and 23,192 officers on Aug. 31. 1940, a year and a half before the Pearl Harbor attack. — o Union Chapel V-E Service Wednesday The Union Chapel United Brcthreii church will observe V-E prayer service and Ascension day of prayer Wedensday evening at 7:45.
