Now it is plain this will be done with fingers crossed. 'Losing What We The State Department attitude is similar to that expressed before the Senate committee by former President Truman, who said: "I am sure the charter is susceptible to improvement. That is true of all documents written by human hands. But we ought not to underestimate the difficulties and dangers involved in trying to get improvements at this time, And we ought to be extremely careful not to lose we already in the United Nations, because what we have is very essential to world peace." In fact, Mr. Truman said had it not been for the U.N., "the events of these last 10 years would again have plunged the world into unlimited international warfare."

Everything has turned out quite different from the anticipations held 10 years ago, though we who were at San Francisco were given hints of Russia's expansionist aims that induced the war." They came from Averell Harriman, then our ambassador to Russia, who brought to our delegation at San Francisco a warning of Russia's postwar intentions. came also in reports that indicated how this expansion already was in motion, specifically, in the case of Poland where Russia was abandoning her pledge at Yalta to allow free elections.

By HOWARD DERRICKSON An exhibition of 52 paintings, drawings, prints and sculptures opened yesterday at the Artists' Guild, 812 Union boulevard. This is the annual display by the guild's art section, limited to professional members. Uneven in quality, the collection nevertheless includes much fresh, original work.

The section's eight-member executive committee chose the show, which as a whole is more representational than any other group exhibition this season to date. Abstractions constitate less than 10 per cent of the collection. Prizes, distributed by Emil Frei as sole juror, went to the most adventurous and striking entries. Winners were announced Friday. Checks were presented at yesterday's reception by Siegfried Reinhardt, chairman of the section's executive committee.

Warren Spaulding's "'The Contemplation of Nature," which first, is a and bold composition in the German exthe pressionist pensive artist tradition, depicting seated of his inspiration -birds, greenery and the human form, which is echoed, strangely, not only in a mirror, but, in contours of an ornate chair, coal stove, watering can and oil lamp. By contrast, Arthur Kanak's second-place "Land, Water and is a deliberately under(stated, restrained landscape marked by Oriental charm and economy of means. Werner Drewes's "Blue Fish," a color woodcut that won third prize, finely designed representational still life with muted harmonies of greens and blues surprisingly close together in key. Eda Lincoln Cushing's "Edge of Night," oil-and-wax painting that won first honorable mention, is strong in the artist's most characteristic qualities. Spectral suggestions, foreboding atmosphere and an all-enveloping mystery are conveyed with a minimum of representational elements and a maximum of sensuous appeal, through complex handling of pigment.

Carmen Bahr Kress and Alexandra Korsakoff Galston were given second and third honorable mentions, respectively, for paintings included in their recent solo shows. The guild display extends this season's trend toward emphasis on painting and neglect of sculpture. Sole sculptors represented are Elizabeth Phelan, with three exquisite small carvings in wood, soapstone and alabaster, and Fred Dreher, with a deft Other exhibitors: Elizabeth Albert Aloe, Mary Jane Becker, Edwin Brewer, Fred and Mildred Bailey Carpenter, Leona Chappell, Vivian Chevillon, Belle Cramer, Jeana Dale, Diamant, Fielding Dawson, Mabel Meeker Edsall, Mildred Fischer, Mary Hallett and Philip Gronemeyer, Eugenia Hart, Ada Hanvey, Jean Turnbull Knowles, George Mallett, Grace Koch Markman, Reinhardt, Virginia Moberly Schlueter, Nancy Singer, Helen M.

Mrs. Roosevelt One is here at home and one in the world at large. These have produced a cautious attitude not only in the State Department but also among prominent personages outside who have a deep concern about the U. N.

Among the latter who have appeared before the Senate mittee are former Presidents Truman, in whose administration the U. N. was created, and Herbert Hoover, as well as Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, who enjoyed a long service in the U. N.

Current tensions between the West and the East have created an atmosphere which, it is felt, would not be conducive to calm and constructive consideration of U. N. revision, The other discouraging factor is the antiU. N. and anti-international spirit abroad in our country.

VATICAN CITY, April 25 (UP) Pope Pius XII yesterday called on science to join forces with philosophy in a final assault upon remaining earthly mysteries to give an all-embracing view of the visible world.

"We think that natural sciences, in permanent contact with a philosophy of critical realism, can arrive at an all-embracing view of the visible world which would, to some extent, satisfy the quest and ardent desire for truth." the Pontiff said. He called scientists "discovers of the intentions of God" and "authorized interpreters of nature" who see the universe "assembled as in a single book." One of the chief future goals of science, after having conquered many earthly matter, is mysterthesis of all knowledge," the Pope said. He said this should lead to an understanding of "the true unity of a living being" after many problems have been solved. "But can experimental science solve these problems by itself?" the Pope asked. "One must answer in the tive," he explaining that science "descends ever more deeply into the hidden recesses of things, but it must halt at a certain point when questions arise which cannot be settled by means of sense observation." At that point science "needs a light which proceeds in the inverse direction.

which is capable of revealing to him this truth which science is unable to obtain by its own methods since it entirely escapes the sense." The Pope addressed a group of 70 members of the Academy of Science, members of the College of Cardinals and the Vatican diplomatic corps. PERRY T.
