Marshall, now president of he American Red Cross, spoke out in an address prepared for Memorial day services at Arlington national cemetery. "Some have suggested that the Jnited States should take the lead in dissolving the United Nations and in setting up a new organize- ion composed only of like-minded nations," he said. "Personally I think it would be unfortunate for the peace of the world deliberately to upset the precarious, equilibrium that now exists." Describing the United Nations as the symbol of an international "Admittedly the United Nations an imperfect organization. But remember so long as this 'orum remains open there are cracks in the Iron Curtain through which some or our ideas will penetrate." Declaring that much of the world's trouble today stems from an "upsurge" of down-ti- people, Marshall said that "self-interest demands that we give close attention to these people, for their situation is the seed bed for either one of two ways of life democracy or communism." "We must have in mind democratic princiles do not flourish on empty stomachs." Future Memorial Days May Be Faded Memory of Grandpa and the Game He Had to Play (By HAL BOYLE New York, It happened in an after time. An old, old man and a small boy walked slowly, hand in hand, across a green field loud with meadowlarks.

They came to a weathered stone sunk deep in the grass. Once there had been a name upon the stone, but wet chisels of rain through the years had chipped it away. And the moss had crept up. The man beneath the stone was now anonymous to any passerby. A yellow butterfly suddenly fluttered near, and the boy ran to grab at it.

"Don't step there, son," the old man said gently. "Why not, grandpa?" "Because someone is buried there." "Who?" "Your grandpa, grandpa?" said the bewildered boy. "Do you have a grandpa, too?" "Well, I did. Everybody has a grandpa at one time or "What was your granpa like?" asked the boy. "He must have been very old.

Did he had a white beard?" The old man laughed. "No, he was young about the same age as your father." "You're joking, grandpa," said the boy. "Grandpas are always older than people. They can't be younger, I know that." "You see, my grandpa died young long before I even wai born," replied the old man, pa tiently. "He was killed fighting in a war." "A war what's a war?" "When there's fear between peo pie, it "What is fear?" interrupted tin small boy.

"Never mind, I'll tell you abou that some other time," said the old man. "Today I'll just tell you about war. Long, long ago, befort the world became united, differed groups of people used to get mac at each other, or afraid of eacl other. And they would kill eacl other, until they got tired of killing Then they would stop and rest That is what a war was." "Were there many wars?"

This restatement of American policy appeared today to have been the principal firm develop ment in the meetings held by Lie, the U. N.

secretary general, with President Truman and Secretary Acheson. Diplomats familiar with the sub stance of yesterday's "confidential chats" commented they duced little in the way of definite understandings promising to ease cold war tensions. Lie, however, was left with a free hand to continue his efforts to find a way out of the U. N. deadlock.

The impression among diplomatic authorities following the meetings is that Lie, on his recent mission to Moscow and other capitals, was given no commitments by Stalin. On his return to Lake Success last week the secretary general ressed guarded optimism and told reporters he found the Soviet leaders still have faight in the U. N.
