Stettinius’ New Job at UNO
- BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent -
WASHINGTON—Easiest way to get a line on
this new Unijted Nations Organization and Charter
which the U. S. Senate will be arguing about for
the next few weeks is to personalize it by seeing
what Mr. Edward R. Stettinius’ new job will be
as head man of the American delegation to UNO.
¥ The Stefiinius appointment is still subject to
Senate confirmation, so he isn’t in yet. But he has
been desighated by President Truman as U. S.
representative on the interim organization which
will function till UNO. gets going. After that, he
has been designated as U. S. representative on the
top, 11-nation Security Council and as head of the
tive-man delegation which will represent this
country ini the 50-nation General Assembly.
In all, there will probably be several hundred
membersy of the U. S. delegation at UNO head
quarters if you .count the deputies, alternates,
technical experts _translators, secretaries and mili
tary men. But fi;:‘ffe_re will be about 10 top jobs—
one member 0!r~-1§i;é'Security Council, one or two
memberg of th,emcil’g Military Staff Committee
of gengrals and ‘admirals, five members of the
General Assembly, probably one member of the
" Economic and Social Council, one member of the
Trusteeship ‘Council!_ one member of the Inter
nation&jl Court of Justice.
TITLES STILL UNDECIDED :
Thede top men will probably have the rank of
ambassadors, or maybe Stettinius will rank as an
ambassador, and the others—none of whom has
vet been named—will be ministers. There is no
protocol to decide what they will be called—Mr.
Ambassador, ‘Mr. Minister, Mr. Councillor, Mr.
Assemblyman; Mr. Member or what. Their pay
has not been determined, either. Ambassadors now
get 27,500 ar‘xgn rinisters get SIO,OOO and $12,000
a yeas plns li r.?uowances overseas.
Mr. Stettinius will officially be holding two of
these jobs as member of the Security Council and
head of the five-man delegation to the General
Assembly, "though. he’ll get only one paycheck.
He'll have plenty to do on the Council job alone.
Provision is made in the charter that he can turn
his Couneil seat over to somebody else—say the
President, or the Secretary of State, or some am
bassador or general or admiral—whenever there is
some particular subject to be discussed on which
the other fellow is better qualified to speak.
This Council of 11 members will really be “the
most,_exclusive club in the world.” Representatives
of the Big Five — United States, Great Britain,
Soviet Russia, France and China—will. sit in the
Council as permanent members, the other six to
be chosen by the General Assembly for two-year"
terms without the right to succeed themselves.
The Couneil will be organized to do business at‘
all times, moving its meeting place around to.
wherever it has work to do and can do the most
good ‘at its principal' job, which is to maintain
world peace and sécurity. |
Just how much authority Council member Stet
tinius will have in committing the United States
to decisions of the Security Council has not been
determined, and will be settled only when Congress
passes enabling legislation, after the charter is
ratified, authorizing the United States to participate
in UNO &nd providing money to pay.the salaries,
travel expenses and bills for paper clips, scratch
pads and files.
CAN ALWAYS CHECK WITH HOME '
It is likely that all U. S. representatives to the
United Nations Organization will be given pretty
broad powers, though there is some cagy opposition 3
to thxg The idea isn’t as dangerous as it sounds
at first, “because the trans-oceanic international
telephone, radio communication and the airplane
now seem here to stay and it would be only a
matter of minutés or hours before any representa
tive at UNO headquarters could find out how the

WAR AND THE BRITISH ELECTION
~ People of the United States naturally
are interested intensely in the results,
scheduled to be announced July 26, of tre
recent British election. Americans under
standingly may be inclined to wonder
whether the results may affect Britain’s
participation in the war in the Pacific.
To express one opinion, we do not be
lieve that the election, regardless of the
outcome, will have the slightest effcct.
We don’t believe there is any more pos
gibility that the British will become lag.
gard until Japan is finished than there
was that Uncle Sam might have dropped
out of the war if Governor Dewey had
been elected President last November.
This confidence is justified, in the first
place, because the British are an honora
ble people. They could not, with honor,
quit the struggle until the last shot is
fired. In the second place, they have too
many - interests. in the Pacific to
drop out of the war before Japan is
beaten. To adopt any other course of ac
tion would finish Great Britain as a
Pacific power.
Consequently, people of this nation
need have no cause to worry about the
British election results. Regardless of
whom the election winner may be, Britain
stil] will be doing everything in its power
to insure thatthe Japs will be the uncon
ditional losers.
‘COLD WEATHER PRECAUTIONS
With most of the United States at lit
tle more than the beginning of he swel
tering season, it may prove somewhat
difficult to work up any considerable anx
jety about next winter’s cold. With many
of us, the thought of a mild blizzard defi
nitely has its appeals.
However, there is no escaping the fact
that, for most of the United States, the
time to begin preparations for next win
ter’s cold is right. And the Office of War
Information is issuing some timely advice
upon this subject.
OWI suggests, for one thing, that it is
advisable, if possible to lay in next win
ter’s fuel supply as soon as possible. j
It also suggests that homes should be
equipped with storm sash, weather strip
ping and insulation at once, while labor
and materials are more likely to be avail
able. This is a precaution which will make
fuels go considerably farther. According
to government surveys, the savings in fuel
will more than pay, within a very few years
‘for the cost of such an improvement.
So, if you suffer from the summer heat
now, it still may besmart to begin thinking
about next winter’s cold. It 1s entirely
possible that the precautions you take
now will detepmine whether you are com
fortable, or cold, when winter comes.
SELF-HELP OR NONE AT ALL
There was nothing particularly surpris
ing in a dispatch from a village in Amer
ican-occupied Germany a few days ago.
It relateq that residents of] the place were
making little or no effort to help them
selves. They seemed to take it for granted
that Americans would attend to such
matters as the rebuilding of homes, plant
ing of crops and provision of coal for
next winter.
We do not pretend to know whether
this attitude is typical of American-occu
pied Germany. But everyone of experience
knows the habit of, “Let George do it,” 1s
easy to form. Unless sternly discouraged,
the Germans almost certainly will form
the habit of expecting Uncle Sam to do
everything that needs to be done for them.
So it is part of the job of the occupa
tion forces to do as has been done, ac
cording to the news dispatch, in the par
ticular German village. The report said
the villagers are being told, in effect,
that Uncle Sam will be inclined to help
only those who help themselves. The vil
lagers are being given blunt warning that
the bed they are to occupy in the future
will be as they make it for themselves.
Similar advice to the whole of American
occupied Germany would not be amiss—
and it is a safe bet that it is the kind of
advice that all such Germans are receiv
ing.

THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA
JOURNAL FOR JOE
Fortified . now with a good
Georgia peach, I think #n spite of
the terrific heat I might prevail
upon Setarcos, my typewriter, to
lend a hand with this chat.
And it is hot, believe me. I
have a fan doing a poor job of
stirring the air, but the fan
seems to take no interest in its
work. The silky sound of wind in
maple leaves is what- I'm hungry
for, not the purr of a fan with
its memories of a dentist’s office.
I’'m getting a yen to go fishing.
Four walls no longer hold that
old fascination which they have
in winter, when it's cozy within,
and outside the freezing wind
awaits you with icicles on his
whiskers. .
1 want to see a creek, hear it
noisily leap the shoals, and feel
the teasing nibble of a fish upon
grass on a hillside with only the
grfass on a hillside with only the
depth of sky between me and the
infinite. I want to walk down a
woodland trail I have never seen
before and wonder what lis
around the bend. Will it be a
vista that stretches into the cool
sglade of the forest, or will it
open upon a field where corn
makes whisper of the harvest yet
to come? :
I want to lean over a spring,
dip my face for a drink, and ¥eel
the coolness of it on my eyelids,
and see it sparkle in the air as I
shake my head with a laugh. I
want to see a pine that reaches
almost into the blue, and lifts
above my head a solitary liquid
green against the heat of sky. I
want to see the sun dip behind
the hills and slant in golden
shafts through a hidden glade as
evening dies.
I have such a hunger for the
earth and the beauty it holds. Is
it so much to long for—a moment
stolen from the cares of the day
—a moment at dusk when dark
ness throws a gentie mantle upon
the earth and bids the fireflies
slip quietly into their hiding? I
want this and more. I want that
feeling of peace and serenity
which steals into ones soul when
he feels a nearness with God;
for there is a tenderness in the
evening world of soft silence and
gentle God-made things.
Some day I shall have a plot of
ground, maybe an acre out of the
vast earth’s expanse, and there I
shallsgo when the evening comes
on. With my back against a tree
T’'ll watch the day mosey on quiet
feet along the trails I have made,
T’ll hear the call of the birds and
understand their love for the cool
pattern of green the rolling fields
make. i
Town will be far away; and
man with his greed, hate, jeal
ousy, and short-sighted intoler
ance. But this is the coward’s
way, to run out on a world sore
with the conflict of wars.
It isn’t too late for a walk.
Come, let us forget the serious
words and Tl'll show you the
funny things that nature has
made for man’s delight.
The moon is hidden, but if you
look to the right of that cloud,
the largest one, you will see a
droll face. It smirks at you with
a silly grin, then as the cloud
moves, takes on a serious air. Ah,
now the poor face has lost its
nose, and it floats upon another
cloud to make a polar bear glid
ing on silver ' skates across the
icy sky.
You laugh at me; this is the
heart of a child that speaks, you
think. Perhaps. I have a heart
that lives not one year to leave
it on the dusty shelves ' of the
past, but tucks it away to lend a
deeper understanding to. the com
plexities of the future. For life is
complex; we have to put our
hearts into the living to see
through the complexities. I do
love life—from the smallest bud
like flower on the Queen Anne’s
lace, to the tall waves that bring
to the moon-pallid land the sea’s
distress. :
But like you, Joe, I like num
bers and machines, and somehow
understand them. Yesterday
someone gave me a clock which
had not run in heavens knows
when. I looked at it, fascinated
with a new problem to be solved.
It was not' a deep problem. 1
shook it 'once, talked to it a mo
ment in silent language that only
clocks know. I found its winder
and wound it, and it has run
ever since. -
Would that peace could be as
simple to maintain, with just the
winding of a spring. But we are
nations, not people, and therein
lies the fault. If all good people
who believe in justice, tolerance,
and understanding; were to join
together in a great fraternity
against those who love way and
military might, we could majn
tain peace. But instead we are
nations, each selfishly confident
;of our own inalienable rights,
‘conscious of boundaries that must
not be poached upon, defensive
nature. How can we bring a last
ing peace?
We must ferget boundaries, but
can we ever forget the America
we know; the vast sweeping
plains, the desert reaches, the
fertile valleys — our lakes and
mountains? No, we are jealously
proud of each of these, proud
that our ancestors won them
from forest and foe. Proud, can
we ever lose our pride, in a
world encompassing understand
ing and compassion for man
kind? 5
Our droll face has gone beyond
the horizon in a soft puff of

nothing, just as this talk I make
of world problems. I really know
so little of it. orgive me." We are
good friends, Joe, and I feel free
even to display my ignorant ideas
before you. ;
And now I'm hungry for an
other peach, or is it a peach? No,
it's the tree — not the tree, the
orchard. Now I know.lt’s the
sunset between the line of trees,
it was only my soul that was
hungry.
So goodnight. Take care of
yourself and remember there is
hope as long as we. have faith.
We do have that — nothing can
destroy it. ?
Again I say, Georgia is waiting
just as you left it, with all the
simple country comforts — lazy,
winding, wagon roads; and soft,
deep South drawls, Georgia is
ours to love, to hold. .

There has been but few
disastrous fires in recent
yvears, unlike, sueh occur
ances of old Athens, when
such cenflggrations destroy
ed much property: 0t
Cotton fires were common be
fore the days of warehouses;
when cotton was parked on both
sides of the main business streets
of Athens. Once ignited the
spread of fire from bale to bale
was hard to control. Two of the
most damaging cotton fires were
on Oconee and Foundry streets
and late years at Rucker’s com
press on lower Broad street.
These are the most important
cotton fires that we recall at this
time and along about that time,
there were a number of build
ings destroyed by fire. e
Another large fire occur
ed on College Ave., in what
was known as the Moses
Myers Company, This was
one of the largest mercantile
establishments in Athens.
The building was a wododen
structure and occupied the space
where the Q Room building now
stands. After the fire the pres~
ent. brick building was erecied
and occupied by Mr. Myers for
sevgral years. Following this fire
a number of others in stores on
Broad street were annual eventig
but not of a damaging character
as some of the largest fires. In
thesa days there were no paid
fire departmenes in this eity,
only volunteer, the Home Fire
Company end the Pioneer Hook
and Ladder Company, being
make up of white members.
There were also two other com
panies, made up of colored mem
bers.
One of the largest fires of
recent years originated in the
Max Joseph building, occu
pied by an automobile con
cern, with sales room and
garage.
The fire spread across Wall
street to Michael Brother’s buil
ing and could not be controlled,
destroying the entire building.
A ‘portion of the fire spread
across Jackson street to what is
now known as the Citizens
Pharmacy Building, doing “only
slight damage there. The- fire
raged, practically all night. A
light wind aiding in it’s spread
