The order of the day was the longest of the conference, listing 18 Soleil ee and subcommittee meetings,’ notable absentee from the Te mittee . schedule was the one on trusteeships—the remaining major issues on which the big powers are split. The regional issue was settled at a series of week-end conferences which ended last night with announcement of an agreement and publication of the amendment that the Big Five would submit to the conference committee on regional arrangements today. The first “break” in the controversy came late Saturday when Soviet Ambassador Andrei A. Gromyko informed the other members of the Big Five that his ‘government approved the proposed American formula in principle but suggested certain changes In language. The ' -American delegation met

behind the Russian suggestions, The | final wording was worked out at a Big Five meeting last night in the penthouse apartment of Secretary of Sthte Edward R. Stettinius Jr. A few Minutes later, Stettinius announced that. the obstacle had been hurdled- and that “the agree-

Stettinius announced the original American proposal last Tuesday. The major change in the final version occurs in the section setting

forth the inherent-right of a na-|_

tion to act in self-defense. Change in Wording The original American plan was that nothing should impair the right of collective or individual self-de-fense “in event that the security council does not maintain international peace and security and an armed attack against a member state occurs.” The Russians pointed out, and the United States agreed, that this carried the suggestion of anticipated failure on part of the security coun-cil—-an undesirable, .psychological situation. The final version says: “Nothing in this chapter (on enforcement action) impairs the inherent right of individual or collective self-de-fense if an armed attack occurs against a member state yntil the security council has taken measures necessary to maintain international peace and security.” This phrasing was necessary because a sentence in the Dumbarton Oaks plan—still retained—provides that. enforcement action by regional agencies requires approval of the security council. - Way Clear For Action .

Under the new amendment, states |e that exercise the right of self-de-fense must report it immediately to the security council. The amendment alsé sets forth .that such action does not in any way affect the authority or responsibility of the world organization to take such action as it deems .necessary to

The new amendment would work in practice this way:.If a nation in this hemisphere is attacked, the inter-American system could without prior authority from the security couhcil and without prejus dicing future action: by the world organization move at once under the Act of Chaultepec to-stop the aggression. Even if the world security council was in the process of consider-, ing the dispute, the regional system could begin operating as soon as the aggression took place. Disputes of World Concern The final compromise does acknowledge that a dispute in this hemisphere or in any other region is of concern to the world organization and does not—if the required vote is obtained in the council—prevent action by the world organization. : In such cases, however, the United States, by its council veto, could prevent the world organization from taking action in ‘this hemisphere. The other new section of the regional .plan provides for specific mention of “resort to the regional agencies or arrangements” as one of the ways of peaceful settlement.

Here is the long vestibule that has led to Berlin. When the Soviet army fell back toward Stalingrad it was mounted chiefly on carts and horses. When it began to uproll the road to Berlin, it was pulled by American engines, riding American rubber, steering American wheels.

These trucks were assembled in|.

the broiling Persian gulf. They were driven north nearly 700 miles to Camp Stalingrad, only one mountain range short of the Caspian sea Thousands are in Berlin today. The trucks are still coming. The Balkans have been freed by the combified efforts of the American 15th air force, the Russian army and ‘the British navy. Consequently the Dardanelles are open.

Paul Winsett, who teaches the Pyles’ Sunday school class, made a few announcements.” The missionary society would meet on Wednesday night and the regular prayer-meeting would be held on, Thursday night. Then the Rev. Horace L. McBride ‘opened the services. Surrounded by the lavender flags and the pgonies which are blooming in Vermillion county, he led the worshippers in singing “The Solid Rock,” the refrain of which is “On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand, All other ground is sinking sand.” From nearby Greencastle came the Rev. Demetrius Tillotson, long time friend of the Pyles, to pray. . ~A farmwife, Mrs.’ Russell Conner, who was chosen “because she is pretty capable along this line,” gave a reading about Ernie. . A WLW radio transcription of a program, “Ernie's Last Day,” was played. Mrs. Sumner Brown and Mrs.

McBride spoke a few simple words about Ernie. “He has fallen with those with whom he lived and loved. He wag just genuiné through and through,” he said. A baby cried, a bumblebee droned among the peonies and tne flags, a baby robin chirped on the lawn as its mother scolded. Rev. McBride led the singing of hymn No. 218, “Jesus, Saviour, Pilot. Me.” He said a few words of betiediction. He stood by the door and shook hands and had a word with .all-of his congregation and the many visitors. Outside on the little lawn, people talked and renewed acquaintances, the custom of worshippers in country churches. One of Aunt Mary's friends went to her car and returned with a quart mason jar of milk which she gave to Aunt Mary and Will Pyle. They stood around awhile long“er, then went home to Sunday dinner, serene in heart.

British Labor Party Votes To Force Early Election

“People who have been urging a quick July- election on the prime minister no doubt hope to snatch a party advantage out of the transient position and out of the moment of victory, as they did in 1918. ; Labor Wants Power “This is \not the time for backstairs intrigue. In the coming elections the Labor party will fight for power. We are not interested: in talks of coalitions or arrangements.” In any case, it seemed certain the Labor party intended to go to the voters in autumn when more serv icemen will be home and the national voting registers will be com-

It was believed he felt he must have the strongest possible gbvernment to back his’ foreign and war policies. His 8emand for a showdown at once brought accusations from leftist and Laborite newspapers this morning of a “squeeze play.” The last general election was In November, 1935. ‘The Conservatives won 387 seats in the house of commons and the Laborites 154, with the ‘other 74 seats divided among minor parties.

machine guns and captured two and forced the withdrawal of two enemy tanks.

" Credit to U. 8. Army The award, Marshall read, was “for gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life and above and beyond the call of duty.” By his gallantry, the citation continued, Lindsey “secured his unit's position and reflected great credit upon himself and the United States army.” The citation read, Lindsey stood before the President, who placed around his neck the ribbon bearing the medal. , The President said that “the his~ tory of this war is filled with count less acts of valor by our soldiers and sailors and Jasinés under fire.”

Some 20,000 other Yugoslav troops were withdrawing from Austrian Carinthia, though Yugoslav sources cautioned that this did not mean they were giving up their claim to the territory at the peace table. The withdrawal was to be completed tonight. The withdrawal followed close on Alexander's statement = Saturday that Tito was refusing to live up to his agreement to permit troops of the western allies to occupy djsputed territory in both Italy and Austria pending the peace conference. Tito, in his “reply, told a Tass correspondent that he was indignant over Alexander's charge that he was resorting to axis tactics ‘in occupying Venizia Giulia.

I most vigorously reject this accusation. “I declare once again that our Yugoslav army and all Yugoslavs are ready to co-operate with allied forces and allied countries, but at the same time Yugoslavia cannot stand humiliation ‘or the trampling down of her rights.”

in Michigan City for the 1925 murder of Miss Madge Oberholtzer, Indianapolis, has entered more than a score of retrial, pardon and clemency pleas, but has been consistently blocked by the state. The attorney general's office obtained the present writ of prohibition after Judge Gentry overruled the state’s demurrer,’ Stephenson was tried originally in the Hamilton circuit court at Noblesville in 1925, The state now contends that the court has no jurisdiction to rule on his retrial petition since identical pleas have been denied.
