S ecret a ry Marshall surprised the o.N. delegates to d ay, in a move calculated to slow down the obst..ructioni activities of the Russians in the Security Council. W hat Secretary Marshall was after was n o thi~g m ore nor less than to prevent the election of a Soviet satellite to succeed PolUld on the Security Council, and thus deprive the Soviets of an important an+auch needed vote. l'be big powers, you may z••il recall, John bull, Russia, and Uncle S ecurity Coun:cil. Sam, have permanent seats on the the While/other members of the Seourit7 Council are elected by the General Assembly. And to be elected to the Council, a country · must have a two-thirds vote in the General Assembly. Poland's members~ip having lapsed, the Soviets wanted the Ukraine elected as Poland's su~cess~r, The general expectation as that this would be a mere formalit y . Fo~ it has been the custom for one country to succeed another on the Council. oviet Bu , today, our delegation suggested that the honor -- a nd the seat -- go to India. All of which p ained those delegates who have been entertaining hopes of softening down the so-called "cold war" between the U.S.A. and the O.S.S.R. -- or at least make it less explosive. The Marshall move today so~ttered that hope to the wind. Until today, the American delegates have been undecided just which nation to support as successor to Poland. Secretary of St~te Marshall, perceiving a chance to clip the claws of the Russian Bear, made up their minds for them and threw the American forces behind the candidacy of India, a count~y which may be expected, just now, to have more sympathy for democratic thinking and ideals than for Sx Russian tyranny. ift•zJ After all,ever since the days of Peter the Great, the Russians have longed to loot India. Bow did it turn out~ Well, the latest is that we didn't win __ but neither did Russia. In the early O.N. - 3 • allots, the other contenders were elminated, leaving th e O k r a in e and Ind i a as t _ he on 1 y r iv a 1 s. In the third ballot, there were twenty-nine votes for the Okraine, twent7-five for India. At the end of the fourth ballot, . he Okraine had gained another vote, making it thirty, India still twenty-five. Still no two-thirds. All of which brought forth more fury from Vishinsky who dashed to the rostrum and accused the delegations supporting India with violation of the 0.1. Charter, which reqJires that geographical considerations be respected in selecting members of the Security Council. Vishinsky declares that those geographical requirements ~ould only be respected by the election of a Slavic country. And, his argument seemed to impress the Chinese and the French. Whereupon the voting became more exciting than the afternoon~a baseball batile · at the Yankee Stadiu. O n the sixth ballot the Okraine had thirty-four vote . India down to twenty·-two. On the seventh round, the Okraine slip ed, thirty-three to rn•ta•s twenty-three. The dele ga tes growing tired then voted to postpone the votin g until tom ~ o~r~r~o~•~------•--•-•-•••••• EORO E ..- -- --------- ------ If Oncle am is to hel Euro e effectively, he should have the help of American big business. For if Con g ress accedes to the proposal that we c o ntribute sixteen billion dollars_ to help the democratic western nations to their feet, the b~st way to a minister that fund would be by means of a corporation, a corporation to be called the United StatesCorporation for European Reconstruction -- or sne such title. This suggestion was made·today to the American bankers in convention at Atlantic City. lhe author of the idea? Winthrop Aldrich, Chairman of the Bo a rd of Chase National. This means that one of the country's foremost business men emphatically endorses not only the Marshall Plan, but also the report of the Paris Committee, the Committee of the Sixteen Nations that got together to plen coo~erative effort for restoring estern Europe. lj.nthrop Considering ' the occasion that lxas•••, Aldrich chose for this endorseme t, nd r-e ay the asse m bled banke received it, e can infer, I believe, that his sug g e tion represents the o p inion of top Americ a n business men. Altrich's prepared address included the declar · tion that funds appropriated to assist Europe even thoug h this might post one the reduction of taxes for quite a w h ile to come! At the same time, be conceded that it may be necessary to establish prioroties between domestic~ · and forei n needs in the matter of food and materials. And, moreover, if we are to send more food to Europe, we probably. ill have to adopt food conservation -- persuade the public to conserve food, voluntarily. Which he granted would not be popul r. A nd then he went on to speak of the vital nece sity of preserving human liberty in Europe. As to the practical aspect of all this, he ·r e try to solv e the problem with ointed out that 1 too little and too late, "our hearts and purse strin ~ ---------- - ~ ill be pulled piecemeal and continually. In his o p inion the bold, and the economic course would be to comply with the request for the whole sixteen billions - and do it as soon as possible! Winthrop · Aldrich thinks tha~ a corporation such as he proposes would have the great adYantage of bein1 more flexible than a goYernment agency.

FOOD ---- The Citizens' Food Committee, . t d 8 p po lD e by the President, lost no time in getting down to business. The first meeting was held today, at the ,bite Bouse. And the Committee drafted a plan which has the approval of Mr. Truman, a plan to enable us to send ■ore food into western Europe without sendfng our own prices soaring still higher. reYealecl The details of the plan ••re not \•••la■t today, but Committee Chair.man Charles Luctaan ••YB he will let us know tomorrow. One prediction is that we • will be in for two meatless days a week. It also is predicted that the principal eaphaale in the Committee's recoamendations will be on C?ut"tin1 down the proverbial and colossal wastefulness in American households. It bas been calculated that the volume of bread alone that we throw away takes eeYent7 bushels mil 1 ion 1:9■ta■at,.__ of wheat to bake.

Only twenty-one, he has not the experience that steadies, an his nerves are jittery -- all that along wi t h ■ agnific•nt pitching gifts. Well, sitting in the Yankee Stadiu, and watching the game t~is afte noon, I had that in mind.· For four inn i ngs Branca was superb. Against the murderously dangerous Yankee hitters he had everytbi~g -- speed, deception, control. He gave not a bit, nor a Yankee reaching first base, and he struck out five in those four innings.1'Branca looked unbeatab~e, but I couldn't keep out of ■ ind bia reputation for~ tendency l>iow up.
