Handbills critical of penalty Jauses in the Indiana unemploy~ ment compensation law were dis~ | tributed toddy by P. A. C. members in front of the unemployment compensation office. The handbills attacked provisions which suspend unemployment allottments for six weeks if applicants refuse “suitable employment” with out “good cause” It was pointed out that lower wages do not constitute “good cause.” “There is great danger that the law will be used to force down wage standards to a pre-war level,” the handouts : said. “The threat of penalties is already being used as a club to force workers to take jobs paying half of that they have been
o£
earning during the war. “This is an attack on the full em-

way toward acnievement, but the consensus is that's the last thing they want now. If the latter speculation is true, it may explain the confidence of Secretary Byrnes and others that there will be continuing work for the deputies, and sooner or later there will be a general peace conference embody~ ing all the allied powers who helped to win the war, U. 8. and England Some prominent officials here saw ‘England and the United States drawn closer together for the current economic consultations, in the light of Mr. Byrnes’ and Foreign Secretary Bevin’s close relations on the foreign ministers’ council. Mr, Byrnes paid compliments to Foreign Commissar Molotov by referring to the good feeling between the two, but this may have been offset by his subsequent reflection that nowadays it was impossible for any two or three nations, solely because of their power, to dictate to others to sign on the dotted line. Under the present circumstances, it is thought that it is well enough to end the conference now and give Mr, Molotov an opportunity to consult Moscow, Want Democratic Process ° Mr. Dulles emphasized that he approved and supported the U. 8. policy in the council. He also noted that it seemed advisable, judging from lessons learned at Versailles after world war I, to get procedural matters well based before going on with further discussions. ‘He suggested that it might not be well just to have the back-room work of a few people, as at Versailles, followed by a sort of take-it-or-leave-it proposition to the rest of the nations concerned. He maintained San Francisco's democratic process had made it possible to have the United Nations a living thing, But there was no mistaking that his and Mr. Byrnes’ ideas of peace won't be a living thing If Russia dominates all. It was made entirely plain that America’s and Britain's policy opposed any narrow-gauge Big Three program of fixing all settlements on a take-or-leave basis, Russia _ obviously must come along or find her wartime friends allying west. ward, Veto Power Question Deputies of the delegations will have the opportunity meanwhile of pondering the Rhineland, Ruhr and Austrian questions as well as a few others, but it looks as if they can do little until they get more signs that Russia is agreeable to letting more players into the game. The question of veto power arises painfully after the current demonstration of non-accord, but Mr. Dulles noted nothing can be done
toward changing the blackball privi- | leges until there is greater confi-|
dence shown among nations. Neither Mr. Byrnes nor Mr. Dulles! presently possesses the formula for that but ebviously will do their ut-| most to try to find it. Certainly both manifested more confidence toward the future than recent events here and American utterances regarding Russia's stubbornness would have deemed, a couple of days ago, to Justify.

Secretary Still Trying to Frame Lasting Peace. WASHINGTON, Oct. 4 (U, P.).—
Secretary of State James F. Byrnes returns from the first peace conference of World War II today-— empty-handed. But he was represented as still hopeful of being able to frame a lasting peace, and determined to continue trying. Byrnes will arrive with his close associates by plane “sometime this morning.” He will begin immediately a series of conferences with President Truman on the failure of the London foreign ministers’ meeting. Byrnes, who has been secretary only three months, faces three tremendous tasks: - ONE: Preparation of reports to the President, his top advisers, con- | gress and the American people on the London conference. This will! require shrewd tactics to prevent a swing toward cynicism and isola- | tionism as a result of failure on the | first try to draft peace treaties, TWO: Prepare decisions on a! multitude of pending foreign policy questions, ranging from those created by the London conference to the forthcoming international dis-| cussions of the atomic bomb,
Plans Early Reports THREE: Continuation of his reorganization of the state depart. ment, plus decisions on how much to keep of many wartime agencies tossed in his lap, Before Byrnes left for London, he promised that he would give the appropriate congressional commit tees a complete fill-in upon his return, Despite the final break-down of the meeting, Byrnes is expected to report to both groups at an early date. He will face three immediate problems which grew out of the London conference, FIRST: There is his compromise proposal for machinery for drafting peace treaties in opposition to Soviet Russia's suggestion that the Big Three do the job, Byrnes would! leave the preliminary work to the Big Three but wants a subsequent peace conference of all nations who made a major fighting contribution | against the axis, The answer from Moscow is awaited on that,

DETROIT, Oct. 4 (U, P.)~—Funeral services will be held Saturday for Truman H. Newberry, the Detroit industrialist, who was the cénter of a major political investigation when he became a U. 8. senator, died yesterday ‘at the age of 80. Newberry devoted most of his life to the extensive business interests
he inherited from his father, John
Stoughton Newberry. Other than serving as secretary of the navy under President Theodore Roosevelt, Newberry was comparatively unknown as a public figure until he became senator. President Woodrow Wilson, needing party support as the first world war ended, asked Michigan for a Democratic senator and drafted Henry Ford. to run as We party candidate. Michigan Republicans nominated
Newberry, who defeated Ford by’
7567 votes. Long before election day, Senator Atlee Pomerene, Ohio Democrat, strongly attacked New-
a
+09
berry’s campaign expenditures. Pomerene charged a violation of the corrupt practices act and challenged Newberry’s seating in the senate. Pomerene's charges forced a congressional recount which narrowed Newberry’s margin over Ford to 4334 votes. Congressional committees investigated the election. But the senate finally voted, by a narrow margin, to seat Newberry. A federal court in Grand Rapids, Mich., convicted Newberry and 16 other defendants of violating the act covering election outlays after Special Prosecutor Frank ©. Dalley charged that more than $500,000 had been spent on Newberry’s campaign. The court levied a fine of $10,000 and a prison term of two years, The sentence on all defendants was dismissed when Newberry appealed to the JU. 8. supreme court. The high court ruled that the act under which Newberry was convicted was invalid. Newberry, disturbed by the attention the trial had attracted, retired from the senate Nov. 18, 1922, Newberry had wide business interests in Michigan, including membership on the board of directors of the Packard Motor Co. from its-in-corporation in 1803.

ARMY TRACING MEN ON LIST OF MISSING
By Scripps-Howard Newspapers WASHINGTON, Oct.4.—Both the war and navy departments are sticking to their policy of waiting a year “before listing missing men as dead. “I don't know how long this will be kept up,” a war department spokesman said, “but there hasn't been any order to change it yet.” Spea unofficially, the spokese man said he doubted that there was much chance that any of the men still listed as missing in the Euroe pean theater would turn up alive, Undoubtedly some men listed as missing are missing on purpose, he added. Search teams are now at work in Europe seeking traces of missing men. By interviewing natives, they and have established identity by the dog tags. Because of the vast distances and the number of, islands in the Pae cific, many more “missing” men are expected to be found in that area both war and navy department ofe ficials said.
