jpfc.a ifv tie Declares Threat of Fascism, Nazism Still Exist Believes Chance Of War Remote Weather Forecast U. N. Must Safeguard Future, He Asserts WASHINGTON (API Trygve Ue, secretary general of the United Nations, declared last night that Purism and Nazism ttlll exist as a threat to world peace. He laid, however, that he did not believe there wu any likelihood of another war In the Immediate future because the world "la tick and tired" of war. Id an address prepared for delivery before the American Society of Newspaper Editors, Lie outlined the alms or the United Nations and called upon the editors to support It.

"We must not close our eyes to the fact that there are still countries ruled by parties or persons who have Fascist or Nail Ideas." he declared. "In other countries there are groups and Individuals who re tsln and actively promote these same Ideas. The Ideas may be dressed In new clothing, but the content remains the same. Farces af Peace Overwhelming "Fascism and Natlsm. wherever they exist, will always threaten peace.

Yet the forces In favor of peace today are so powerful so overwhelmingly powerful that I personally cannot believe that the world will see another war In the period Immediately ahead of us. "Our business is to ensure that the world will not have a war either now or In that distant future when It may lack our advantage of grim firsthand experience with two terrible wars." Hi indicated he was not seriously concerned by the bitter disputes which have focussed. world attention Upon the Security council ever since It Opened Its first meeting In London. "If there were no conflicting Interests In the world. If there were no disagreement," he said, "there would be no need tor an organisation like ours." He said the debate of these issues la publle "Is a very great step away from the old secret diplomacy," but added that It "la quite evident that the Security council can only succeed with confident and sincere collaboration between the great powers on a basis of equality," The success of the Security council in Its work," he asserted "will depend upon the common will to find agreement between both the small and the greater powers and especially between the great powers." Gives Seasons far react Beliefs He gave two reasons to support his belief there would be no war In the Immediate future: 1.

"Our own generation really knows what war means and because of the experience which we have had, this generation will oppose Its recurrence tvjr au tne moral forces at Its disposal." 3. "We know, too. that new factors, which Include the atomic bomb and other fearsome weapons never used before, will make a new war more fantastically terrible than the last awful though It wss." Outlining the functions bf such United Nations agencies as the Trusteeship council and the Economic and Social council, whose main purpose Is to out long range plans to remove the causes of war, he said: "We recognize that there win never be true peace In 4hli world 'Jong asvmllllonj of our fellow human beings are deprived of the to develop freely and progressively toward well being and self government. The germ of liberty Ilea In every human heart and as long as liberty Is lacking there will be fuel for future conflicts."

Teachers to Bo Guests Oursts st the dinner. In addition to the contestants, will be the teachers who were responsible for supervision of the qualifying contest In each of the schools, and members of the Board of Judges. The Judges were Mrs. Clara Stee holm. Salt Point author; Mrs.

Amy Ver Nooy. library assistant at Adrl ance Memorial library and an uu thority on Dutchess county history; and John M. Brtnnln, of the Vassar college English department. School principals throughout the county commended the contest and said the New Yorker had been successful In realising Its objectives: to stimulate Interest In creative writing and in Dutchess county history among high school students. The students of all city and county high schools were Invited to participate, by writing a story of fiction based on the historically correct background of the state convention held In Poughkeepsle In ITU when after much wrangling the state finally ratified the Federal Constitution.

Taking part in the debates were such notables as Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, Oovernor Clinton and Chancellor Livingston. Mrs. Steeholm. co author with her husband, lieutenant Commander Hardy Steeholm, USNR, or the noted biography, "James I Wisest Fool In Christendom" snd other books, summed up the Judges' decision as follows: 'Freedom Csn't Walt' Is well written. The plot Is plausible and astonishingly well motivated within the confined limits of 2.500 words.

Moreover the feeling of. freedom ss promised by ratification of the Constitution Is well Integrated with David's yearning for freedom. This, more than any of the other storlep, produces an atmosphere of suspense and conflict. Moreover, smsll details of the times which lend plausibility and color have been skillfully worked In such as the Innkeeper breaking off a piece of a long stemmedstemmed pipe so that another customer could use It. The author's bibliography shows that she has not only done a great deal of reading, but that she has assimilated what she has read, and really got the feel of the period Into her story." Mrs.

Ver Nooy, having been primarily concerned with the historical background of the stories, made the following general comment: "The stories, one and all. were well done and showed a remarkable understanding on the part of the writers of the purpose of the convention held In Poughkeepsle in 1788 and Its Importance In the affairs of our new nation. "The bibliographies proved that a considerable amount of research I had been made by the contestants and the stories showed a knowledge of the community and the homes. customs and wearing apparel of the residents of that day." All marks of identification were removed from the stories before they were turned over to the Judges. The stories were read and graded Individually by the three and.

later. when the board convened to compare notes, It was found that each had rated Freedom Can't Walt" as outstanding. I Newcomer to County The fart that MLvs James Is a newcomer to Dutchess county schools Is an interesting sidelight of hrr success. She entered Mlllbrook Me mortal school only last January. Miss Lllley, whose story wss one of two rated for honorable mention, also Ls a comparative newcomer.

I having come to Dutchess a year ago last January. One possible reflection to be drawn ts that they found Dutchess county history more absorbing than did most life long residents of the area. Miss James is a native of New Rochelle and received all of her I early schooling there. After war was declared, her father enlisted In the Army Dental cors and at pres ent Ls on terminal leave alter ttiree years of service His dental office is located at 54 Noxon street, city. When Captain James entered service, his family gave up their New Rochelle home and accompanied him to various parts of the I nation as his assignments changed.

with the result that, for the most part. Miss James' high school edu cation has been accumulated In Tennessee. New Mexico and Texas. I Last December. Captain James i was assigned to Jefferson barracks.

Mayor Says Public Housing Project May Be Considered Mayor Doran said yesterday that a public housing project, designed to furnish permanent homes, on a state subsidy basis, might be considered by the city administration.

The course of action the city ad 0 ministration will consider, the Mayor said, will depend largely on a survey fl flliriAr which the state's Division of Hous i VUjIvl lng will make here. The mayor's comment was sought In connection with a report which was made to the City Planning commission Friday. Commissioners Campbell and Dean of the Planning board emphasised the possibilities of a public housing project, In the downtown section. The report wss made In their capacity as members of a committee, which was appointed by the Mayor to confer with the State Housing division authorities In New York City. Mayor Doran told a reporter that he was anxious to learn what aid the state housing representatives may offer in the matter of temporary emergency housing and housing on a long term or permanent basis.

The survey, he suggested, would furnish information as to whether Poughkeepsle should take the step of establishing a housing authority here. In informal comment on the public housing projects which the state has sponsored in other upstate cities. Mayor Doran said that such projects offer the advantage of providing dwellings for low rent. The Mayor believes, he said, that the greater part of the local residents who now seek dwelling accommodations are people who want to rent properties and not build or buy them.

The ceremony took place shortly after 4 p. m. and was by nearly 200 persona who were on the grounds for a visit to the Roosevelt ancestral home Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt met the delegation at the library but did not go to the grave.

She had been waiting for the Argentine officials since about 3:15 p. m. and was unable to take part In the ceremony because of of keeping a pressing CONTINUD rmOM PAGI OM to the street. But he added that efforts had gone about far as they could. "Unless additional housing accommodations are made available as soon us possible," Judge Corbally satd.

"the only thing which the City court ca'n do Is to sign the order of eviction. The court is allowed no leeway in the matter. There ls no discretion allowed. The law says the court must sign the order." The City Judge said that the majority of the eviction petitions involved purchase of dwellings and desire of the new owner to take occupancy himself. Some Veterans Mutt Vacate A good many of the new owners seeking occupancy are veterans, he pointed out.

and the vicious circle whirls all the fatter because in some cases those who must vacate include veterans In the family group. He noted a recent case in which, before settlement came without eviction, eight families had to move. In addition to owner seeking occupancy, eviction proceedings also may be based on non payment of rent and creation of nuisance, but these. Judge Cor bally said, have been ever present and in the present situation form no problem. Eviction proceedings come to City court after they have been approved by OPA.

A veteran can institute the proceedings any time after 30 days, but under OPA regulation, a non veteran owner must wait six months. Judge Cor bally pointed out that state law still requires a 30 day notice In writing personally served as a preliminary to eviction, although the grounds for eviction must be approved by OPA. Most owners. Judge cor Dally have been "very patient" In the handling of eviction cases. He said that cooperation of attorneys and landlords has prevented many a street eviction in past months, but that the situation now had developed where there was "Just not enough housing to meet the demand." In the matter of emergency housing.

Judge Corbally pointed out that Spratt Park and the City Home property had water and sewage facilities and could be used for temporary housing facilities. He noted! that other communities had hit upon use of Quonset huts and trail ers for such purposes.

Truman Takes coNTiNi'tD raoM rscx one together, until next Tuesday at the earliest. Lewis has a date Wednesday at Hasleton. Pa. to attend the meeting called to form UMW's new contract demands for 73.000 anthracite miners. The hard coal contract expires May 31.

The bituminous, or soft coal, situation has been at an impasse since April 10 when Lewis walked out of Joint negotiations with the operators. He said further talks were useless. Lewis wants a settlement of his demand for a union administeredadministered health and welfare fund for miners financed by a tonnage levy on coal production, and also for Improved safety conditions. The operators have insisted on settling wage and hour issues before discussing anything else with Lewis. Schwellenbach has been trying without success so far, to get both sides agreed on talking about the same thing at the same time.

Two hours after the White House meeting, the Labor department reported that Schwellenbach had been unable to reach Van Horn and had decided to postpone further efforts to reach him until today. A Labor department spokesman said, however, that Schwellenbach Is convinced he can get Lewis and the operators together In Joint tslks again whenever he wants but that It would be useless until some basis Is worked out beforehand for genuine collective bargaining. Ross told reporters the object of the White House session was to appraise the President fully "on the situation from Mr. Lewis' point of view." It was pointed out thst Mr. Truman Is leaving todsy for a week long cruise.

Snyder's participation in the meeting was taken as an Indication of the growing seriousness of stalled coal production on the reconversion program. Secretary of the Interior J. A Krug Issued a statement reporting that, up until Friday, the strike had cost the nation a loss of 31.053.000 tons of cosl. Steel operations hsve been curtailed, and some heavy coal carrying railroads have reduced employment. Ross said Schwellenbach arranged the meeting with the President.

The Labor secretary picked up Lewis In his car at the mine leader's office and drove him to the White House. Afterward Lewis left alone, ahead of Schwellenbach. Jack Hardy, national commander of the American Veterans of World War II. disclosed In a statement meanwhile that he had offered the services of his organization as conciliator in the coal dispute Lewis said consideration would be given Hardy's oiler, while a spokesman for the operators. Hardy added, promised to submit the proposal when the operators' group reconvenes.
