Truman's Veto Temporarily Lifts OPA Ceiling
U. 5. And China Denounce Use
Ot Veto; See Its Abandonment
NEW YORK, June 29.—(AP)—The United States and China joined tonight in deploring irresponsible
use of the veto power in the United Nations and Dr. Quo Tai-Chi, Chinese delegate to the Security
Council, predicted the weapon would be abandoned. A . 1 0
United States, Great Britain, China, Russia and France hold the po\,a‘.b ‘P veto, which has been
exercised five times by Russia, including three “blocks” at this week’s® .r session on the Spanish
case. Frunce has vetoed once, also on the issue of Franco. f""{f [
" Dr. Quo, declaring that he ex
pected public opinion to force a
change in the rule if the veto is
«frequently or lightly used,” said
in remarks prepared for the Uni
versity of the (NBC): 4
“1 belieye the time will come
when all the nations will feel that
it is no longer necessary to retain
the veto.
“China has never stood strongly
for the veto. It can be used to such
an extent as to paralyze the
Security Council, and render this
vital organ of the United Nations
ineffective. I hope this won’t be
the case.” |
He termed abandoment “inevit
able-if the United Nations suc
ceeds in its purpose.”
Herschel Johnson, U. S. delegate,
disagreed on the prediction that
the veto would be killed, but de
clared: ‘
“The velo power was accepted by
the United Nations at San Fran
cisco with the clear understanding
that it would be used only spar
ingly. It should certainly not be
used lightly or irresponsibly to!
prevent peaceful settlement of dis- ‘
putes that have been agreed to buy |
the majority.” 1
“The Soviet union was not the
only nation that supported the
rule of Big Power unanimity. This
rule was adopted by mutual agree
ment, to prevent major powers
from being drawn into the use of
military force against their will.
“Suppose all nations agreed that
veto should be abelished, unlikely
as that appears to be. I doubt
whether it would make a great
deal of difference in the affairs of
the United Nations. After all, the
major powers, %he ones with real
military strength, would still have
an ultimate veto over any large-!
scale use of their troops. . . |
“In this country for example |
only Congress has the power to
declare war. The veto power, if\
used with restraint as it was in
tended to be, is a recognition of l
the facts.”
Dr. Herbert V. Evatt, Australian
delegate, already has said that he
will ask a full airing of the veto
question before the General As
sembly here . this fall and 'even
indicated he might make an out
right demand for its elimination.
Cuba also announced that it will
call for killing the veto.

KWAJALEIN, June 29.—(AP)—A warning to the public that the
alomic bomb to be dropped at Bikini lagoon might be a *“fizzle” was
| voiced by an eminent scientist today as military men, scientists and
other observers scanned the skies over the Marshalls for some hint
of Monday’s ,weather.
The warning came from Dr. Karl Compton, chairman of the join!
chiefs of staff evaluation board.
“My scientific colieagues,” he
told a press conference,, “say that
even if we had a number of
bombs, alike physically, each
‘'would vary from a fizzle to maxi
\mum efficiency.
“There is a certain probability
—though small—that this bomb
}might fizzle. I am anxious that
this be realized so the public will
;not think we are alibying if we
get poor results.”
~ Whether the bomb, now hidden
}behind a _ canvas-covered area
on this island, will provide a
magnificent explosion or a smoky
fizzle will be known at 9:30
Monday morning (5:30 p. m,
Sunday, EST)—if the weather is
favorable. Vice Adm. W. H. P.
Blandy will rule on the ('estion
of weather, announcing at Bikini
Sunday morning whether the test
can go ahead on schedule or must
be postponed. :
Starting Signaj |
If the starting signal comes,
the non-target fleet will begin
evacuating the Lagoon. Then, at
dawn Monday, the air force will‘
swing into action and the long
awaited test will be underway.
Bradley Dewey, president of
the American Chemical Society
4nd a member of the evaluation
board, observed that if the bomb
were a dud it ‘might not be recog
nized as such until we gei effi
ciency measurements from in
struments.”
~ “A ‘dud probably would pro
\duce a whacking good explosion,”
Dewey said, “but perhaps it
|would not mushroom. There
'would be some activity.”

Amended Version
WASHINGTON, ' June 29 —
(AP) — President Truman today
sigred an amended version of the
second war powerg act, which
renews his authority to ration
and allocate scarce materials.
The bill contains a specific
provision that it cannot be used
as authority for fixing price
ceilings on commodities or rents.
Signing of the measure also
bestows on President Truman
for another year the extraordi
rary power to requisition prop
erty and give priororities.
The authority, used during the
war to concentrate the economy
upon the winning o? military vic
tory, is continued as a peacetime
weapon of the government so

covversion and high production.
The amendment on price con
trol killed off any daance that
