By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Dec. 4—~The proposal to abolish the Big Five's veto powers in the United Nations organization is wishful thinking. The Soviet Union would walk out. No one who followed the San Francisco conference doubts that for a moment. Still more visionary, the same observers agree, is British Foreign Secretary Bevin’s “parliament of man,” or “directly elected world leg-.| islature.” which he hoped woula : - eventually take the place of the UNO. Unless, that is, it takes the guise of a world Soviet, Moscow's design since 1917.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.— Strategic materials in consideration for the billions of dollars the U. S. is being asked to lend abroad-—that's the proposition of some U. S. officials, influential congressmen and leading economists.

NOT PLEASANT TODAY

Scripps-Howard Stall Writer WASHINGTON, Dec. 4. — The sinking of the cruiser Indianapolis was violently dramatic, and so, too, are the charges of negligence against its skipper, Capt. Charles McVay, whose court-martial entered its sec< ond day today. The court-martial is unfqiding the sad story of inefficiency which delayed the rescue of the crew for five days, costing heavily in lives. The ship lost 880 mefi out of 1196. Court-martial machinery is sluggish and ponderous. Many ‘months will pass before the full story of the Indianapolis is dragged out. Capt. McVay’'s trial is merely the first. sbgment of the Indianapolis case, and it will go well into 1946 before the result is announced. The
