"For to us it has been given, as to no previous generation, actually to see in the ruins of Europe some results of pushing God off the map and making the state an object of worship. For when a spiritual basis of life is denied, there is left no foundation for the faith n the supreme worth of the individual." In his baccalaureate sermon President Wildman, speaking on the subject, “And God Saw That It was Good," tol the graduating seniors that if democracy ever succeeds, we vill need origirral and independent minds. He warned against becoming a mere carbon copy. “The atmosphere of a university is critical and analytical,” he said. "Here students are taught how to tell the difference between truth and propaganda, how to detect error, to be on the look out for fallacies both logical and real. They are taught to be social, economic, political, and religious diagnosticians searching lor those insidous influences which, working like moths, would riddle the fabric of nat'onal Or personal life." But criticism or diagnosis, he warned, mu.'K be followed by prescription. for “we clear away the debris only to erect something better.” If we cortfine our view to the brutal flow of contemporary events today, President Wildman continued, our spirits will be battered, bruised, perhaps crushed. Our need, he said, is to

“If you go on picnics, remember to crush all cigarettes before throwing them away and to drown camp fires and then bury them before you leave. Break matches in two before throwing them away. “Flashlights ate much safer than candles in the country,” points out the chief. “They light the way without bringing flame dangerously into your house. “Last, but not least, keep your car in constant repair, well greased and oiled, and keep your fire extinguisher filled. Cats often catch fire when people are a long way from a fire department, so it’s best to be prepar-
ed.”

OLYMPIA, Wash., June 25.— (UP)—President Truman ended hi8 vacation in the northwest today. His special plane takes him to San Francisco where he will close the United Nations conference with a plea to the nations of the world for a workable, realistic peace. Mr. Truman left here at 11 a. m. (CWT). En route to San Francisco he will stop at Portland, Ore., for an hour and a half, visiting the Portland veterans hospital and touring the city. The President will arrive at Hamilton Field outside San Francisco at 2:30 p. m. and after an hour-long ceremony at the field where he will meet the heads of 50 delegations to the UNCION conference, he will proceed to the Fairmount hotel in a formal procession. In the late afternoon the President will receive all the UNCION delegates, then attend a dinner given for him by Secretary of State E. R. Stettinius, Jr. On Tuesday the President will icceive a committee of San Francisco citizens, then go before the final plenary session of the conference in the late afternoon, speaking aoout 5 or 5:30 o’clock. Then next morning the President will leave for his hometown. Independence, Mo., where he will .-.pend several days in homecom ing celebrations there and at Kansas City. The President regarded his San Francisco speech as one of his most important appearances since entering the White House It will be a pieview of the course lie will follow in his meeting next month with Prime Minister Churchill and Marshal Stalin. The President was expected to hammer at the idea that the peace to come must be durable and based on true international cooperation. It will be his first big-time appearance in the inteinational field and his address will be a product of much redrafting and consultation with Kis associates in the drafting of American foreign policy. The President has been in the northwest since last Tuesday and during the course of a week ht had done everything from throwing snowballs on Mount Rainier to fishing—unsuccessfully—for salmon in Puget Sound. He" made a surprise appearance in the rotunda of the stately Washington capitol building last night and told 3,000 persona gathered for a choir recital that “we have just finished a Job in San Francisco that makes our charter of 1789 the model for the whole world." “I am out here to clinch that charter,’’ he said in a brief, extemporaneous speech. SAN FRANCISCO, June 25 (UP)—France injected the extraneous issue of Syria and Lebanon into the United Nations conference today only a few hour* before the arrival of President Truman for a dramatic climax .of this nine-weeks-old meet-
ing.
Weary delegates of 50 nation! and the city of San Francisco were prepared to give the Presi dent a lousing welcome when, he arrives here late today. He will address the closing meeting ol the conference tomorrow night. The conference meets in plenary session at 9:30 o'clock OPWT) tonight to give formal approval to the new world charter. But meanwhile it experienceil a new flurry of exeitment as result of France’s request that a three-man commission be set up here to investigate the dispute in the Levant. Even the French admitted however, that it might be outside the authority of this conference. The request, made to Secretary of State 'Edward «. Stettinius, Jr., as one of the four presidents o t the conference, probably will be rejected. No one —not even the French— would let it delay tomorrow's adjournment plans. But is was potentially embarrassing for the Big Four sponsoring powers since It placed them in the light of rejecting at the ‘birth of the new organization a request for conciliation in a dispute. Actually, this conference has no power to set up such a commission, especially one to deal with a bitterly-disputed political question. The work of this conference is done. The charter is nqw in th* hands of the printer. Only the closing ceremonies remain — plenary session approval of the charter tonight, the singing of the document Is a specially-built, Hollywood like, flag-draped set-

The Japanese high command conceded the fall of Okinawa in a communique broadcast by radio Tokyo reporting the final Banzai charges by the Army and Navy garrisons. No messages have been received from Okinawa since last Wednesday, the communique said. Marine and Navy forces on the Oroku peninsula made their “final slashing assault” June 13 | under command of Rear Admiral Minoru Ota, the communique i said. Ota's body was found in a 1 cave by Aerican Marines. He and his staff had committed suicide by slashing their throats. Lt. Gen. Mitsuru Ishijima, commander of Okinawa, employ- J ed all forces remaining under his command in a final assault June 20, the Japanese communique said. Ushijima’s body has not been found, but Marines believed he may be holding out in a cave on the southwest coast. The enemy command also said government officials and civilians 1 under Governor Akira Shimada fought "valiantly from beginning to end” in defense of their home-
land.
The communique estimated American casualties at 80,800 and claimed that 600 Allied warships and transports had been sunk or damaged in Okinawa waters. Admiral Chester W. Nimitz announced the end of organized re- ] sistance on Okinawa last Thurs-1" day, but he reported in a communique today that small enemy pockets still were resisting with rifles and grenades at scattered points. ' With the Okinawa campaign definitely at an end, the spotlight in the western Pacific shifted to the air offensive softening up Japan for an eventual American invasion. At Honolulu, Gen. Harry H. Arnold, commander of the army air forces, disclosed that B-29 Superfortresses soon would operate from new air bases on Okinawa in addition to their present fields in the Marianas. Use of Okinawa bases will shave 1,000 miles off the round , trip to Japan and enable the! to carry far more bombs and fly many more missions per plane than is possible from the Marianas, Arnold said. In Japan itself, Japanese officials mobilized all motor vehicles in Tokyo, including passenger cars and busses, and their drivIhto the Tokyo volunteer transport corps to assure the rapid movement of war mater-
ials.
Radio Tokyo also reported that e government's emergency war powers which went into effect last Friday prepared the notion for "decisive combat.”
