OKINAWA (By Navy Radio). ~The company coms _mander, Capt. Jullan Dusenbury, said I could have my choice of two places to spend the first night with his company. x p- Waj with him in his command post. The command post was a big, round Japanese gun emplacement, made of sandbags, The Japs had never occupied it, but they had stuck 2 log out of 'it,- pointing toward the sea and makihg it 100k like a gun to aerial reconnaissance, Capt. Dusenbury and a couple of his officers had spread ponchos on the ground inside the emplacement and had hung” their telephone on a nearby tree and were ready for business. There was no roof on the emplacement, It was right on top of a hill and cold and very windy. My other choice was with a couple of enlisted men who had room for me in a little gypsy-like hideout they'd made. Itt was a tiny, level place about halfway down the hillside, away from the sea. They'd made a roof for it by tying ponchos to trees and had dug up some

Japanese. straw mats out of a farmhouse to lay °

on .the ground. I chose the second of these two places, partly because it was warmer, and also because I wanted to be with the men anyhow. My two “roommates” were Cpl.

EARLY DIAGNOSIS and prompt treatment vould prevent from 30 to 50 per cent of the deaths from cancer.” This explains why the educational program

planned by thre Anierican Cancer society is to important.

The society is-now engaged in a drive to raise $5,000,000 in a nation for the care of patients, scientific research and public education. There are at the present time énly three methods of dealing with cancer—surgery, X-ray and radium. The medical expert must decidé in each case which one is indicated. Sometimes a combination of two or perhaps all three will be used. Nothing is less justified than the notion that cancer is always hopeless. There are téns of thousands of cases on record of persons who are still alive and healthy five, 10, even 20 years after an operation for canoer, ‘The most dangerous thing that a person can do is to stay away from his physician because he fears a diagnosis of cancer, If the person really has cancer his greatest hope lies in an early diagnosis,

WASHINGTON, Tuesday.—Of one thing T am sure. When people's -hearts are freed by sympathy and sorrow, it makes them wonderfully kind. I have had evidence of this during the past few days.

From all over the country messages poured in, want«ing to know how they, the senders, could be of assistance.” '*’ For the moment, of course, the only people who can actually do something are the people in our secretarial staffs under Mrs. Helm and Miss Thompson's direction. They have worked day and night and will continue to do so until we leave here on Friday.

Labor . Soviet Views Leave Labor Vote Unsettled

By FRED W. PERKINS Seripps-Howard Staff Writer WASHINGTON, April 18.—Ine ternational labor spokesmen who have been trying here for nearly a week to draw up & tentative constitution for the World Trade Union Congress start leaving toe day» for San Francisco with vital points still unsettled. These items are the questions of how voting shall be distributed among the represented countries, and of whether all countries shall be bound to co

ordinated action ‘by a two-thirds ,

vote of all the members. The Russian member of the executive committee, M. P. Tae rasov, has been holding” out for voting strength to be based on membership of labor organizations in the countries concerned, and also for member countries to be bound by a two-thirds vote. On’ both these questions the Soviet representative: was ©p= posed by spokesmen for the Brit= ish Trade Union Congress, headed . by Sir Walter Citrine,

n ” = "THE AMERICAN C. 1... 0, spokesmen, - Philip. Murray and

Sidney - Hillman, - were reported swinging over to the British point of view, although Mr. Hillman was said at first to have supe ported the Russian argument. Mr, Murray has been absent from the meetings tor two days because of business elsewhere, and Mr. Hille man was absent because of illness, The controversy over voting power stemmed from the Russian platform of basing it on “the 21,562,000 workers claimed to be represented by the All-Union . Council of Trade Unions of Russia. . This would be more than half of the total membership repre« sented in the world labor body, able to out-vote the British and the C. I. O. and all other bodies now in the projected, federation, ” = =

THE ARGUMENT over autone omy, or the right of :any country

to go its own way without con= *

trol by a majority, was bascd partly on the present practices of the International Federation of Trade Unions, of which the Amcrican Federation of Labor is a member. The I. PF. T. U. has no binding rule such as that advocated by the Soviet spokesman, and AI, Citrine is said to have argued that if the Russian viewpoint were. adopted there would be no further prospect of bringing the A. P. of L. into the yew vord labor organization. The British spokesmen were reported also to have extreme objections, on their own account, to the extent that’ adoption of the Russian plan would endanger the further participation of tne British Trade Union congress,

“ =

WHETHER THE demands of Mr, Tarasov will be altered was believed to depend largely on the extent of Russian influence in the main San Francisco meetings. Spokesmen for the A. PF. of L. have asserted repeatedly that the

Russian labor organizations are not unions in the American sense, and are merely adjuncts

of the Soviet government.
