Colonel Wright 15 By FRANK R. KENT, JR. Washington Bureau oj The Sun Washington, Nov. 24 Under the provisions of the so-called GI Bill of Rights, veterans of the War just ended have negotiated 32,856 loans aggregating more than $130,000,000 for the purchase of homes, farms and small businesses.

Gen. Omar N. Bradley, veterans administra tor, announced today. The number of. loans made rep resents an infinitesimal percentage of the number of men discharged from the armed forces since V-E day.

i The latest War Department figures available place the number of men discharged since May 12 at 3,114,000. The latest navy figures available place the number discharged at approximately 700,000. The num ber of loans reported by General Bradley represents roughly eight tenths of one per cent of the total number of veterans discharged since V-E day Forms Being Simplified There have been statements made that the paper work and red tape required before a veteran is able to negotiate a loan is respon sible for the small. number of those taking advantage of the provisions of the GI Bill of Rights. General Bradley announced to day that an effort is being made to speed up loan guarantee applications by authorizing regional mana gers to designate property apprais ers.

Lenders also have been author ized to select appraisers from ap proved panels. General Bradley added that forms used in applying for loan guarantees are being simplified and a number of them are being eliminated entirely. Of the total number of loans announced today, 29,861 were for the purchase of homes, 700 for farms and 2,295 for small busi nesses. Of the total home-loan guarantees approved, 1,185 once were rejected by the Veterans Administration and returned to lenders for renegotiation of sale prices.

4 By RODNEY CROWTIIER (London Bureau of The Sun London, Nov. 24 IBy Cable Philip Noel-Baker, British Min ister of State, welcoming delegates the opening session of the Pre paratory Commission of the United Nations today, strongly assailed people who "in more capitals than one" are already talking about the next world war. "It is grotesque and wicked for anyone to say that any government in the world thinks of or wants another war," he said as he gave delegates of the 50 other nations present the assurance that Great Britain, as host to the conference, places the success of the United Nations as the No. 1 objective of this country's foreign policy. 1 Protected By Royal Marines Mr.

Noel-Baker added that "it is grotesque and wicked to believe that any government is preparing for another war." The preparatory commission met at its first plenary session in the oak-paneled room of Church House, Westminster, the, administrative home of the Church of England, and at one time during the war the seat of the House of Commons. Closely protected by Royal Marines in resplendent blue and red uniforms, something over 500 representatives, deputies and assist ants assembled for this conference. They have the task of perfecting the United Nations machine which is to enforce the peace of the world. Apologizes For Quarters The Minister' of State apologized to the delegates for tho skimpy na ture of the quarters, "which are not all that we would hope for," he said. But those who knew why they are in these small quarters instead of the magnificent and Bpacious Central Hall of Church House re garded it as a proper example and a warning against all future wars.

The central debating chamber lay to the left of the delegates, the charred and ruined victim of a heavy bomb. Keynote For Conference 'L', In sounding the keynote for the conference, which will last through December, the Minister or btate said that the people of the world are waiting for the completion of this new international institution. It is through the institutions of the United Nations that the people of the world will make their Governments end forever the cfime and folly of international war," he as serted. Mr. Noel-Baker advised the Preparatory Commission that the first general assembly of the United Nations, which is to be held here in January, will be faced with some very great and very urgent tasks perhaps even the control of atomic Atomic Energy Discussion On the subject of atomic energy.

PARRI, ITALY'S PREMIER, QUITS 1- Consultations To Start Today For New Government Rome, Nov. 24 UP) Ferrurcio Parri, his coalition Cabinet shat tered by a Rightist revolt, stepped down from, Italy's premiership tonight after warning the nation's political leaders that a prolonged crisis would "open the road to Fascism." In a valedictory to which he summoned the world press. Parri handed his resignation to the Committee on National Liberation.

which placed him In power last June; then, driving through rain to the Royal Palace, he formally bowed out before Crown Prince Umbcrto. The Prince, for whom the crisis may provide a long-sought chance to strengthen the embattled mon archy, announced he would begin consultations tomorrow toward formation of a new government. Long Stalemate Seen With Leftists struggling bitter ly for control before general elec tions are held in the spring, ob servers predicted a long stalemate before the crisis is resolved. While Parri, 55-year-old former resistance leader, spoke to the liberation committee, a crowd estimated at 1,000 gathered In the street outside Viminale Palace and shouted, "We want Parri." Police reinforcements guarded the palace. The committee included repre sentatives of the Liberal and Christian Democrat parties, whose withdrawal from the Government coalition precipitated the Cabinet crisis.

Climaxes Weeks Of Tension Parri's decision capped several weeks of tension in the' Govern ment, with Liberals conservatives feuding with Leftists chiefly over control of machinery for elections scheduled for next spring. The Liberal party and the Chris tian Democrats broke with the Government in the face of the warning of Parri that "very grave international and internal reasons" made it necessary to avoid fall of the Cabinet at this time. In addition to disputing over election machinery, the Liberals have also opposed a decree which would extend the purge of Fascists from Government employes to pri vate citizens. The Liberals feared this would hit many industrialists and landowners. Took Over Power Last June Parri was a relatively unknown patriot leader of northern Italy when he was given the reins of the new coalition -Government last June 17.

He succeeded Ivanoe. Bonomi who had resigned five days earlier. in keeping with a pledge he would step down after all of Italy was liberated. Parri, speaking to the committee, flatly denied reports that foreign powers wanted to see a change in the Government. He said the Allies had denied that to him, declaring they were concerned only because Italy, in the period of reconstruc tion, was too vulnerable to Cabinet crises.

Rejoinder By De Gasperi The Premier indicated his resig nation would result in. Rightist withdrawals and charged that the Liberal' withdrawal was in reality a maneuver to achieve a coup d'etat. He said.the Christian Democrats had engaged in the same tactics. These statements brought heated rejoinder from Alcide de Gasperi, Foreign Minister, leader of the Christian Democrats, that his party was not "blocking a re turn to democracy." "We do not want a return to fascism; we do need the funda mental principles of liberty," de Gasperi said. During his speech Parri defend ed his leadership, declaring he bad mediated between Left and Right, and had been criticized as often to TOOL UNION'S AID IN STRIKE Auto-Parts Spokesman Sees G.M.

At the same time, a spokesman for the automotive parts makers as serted, the strike which already has 'made idle close to 200,000 workers in 51 cities will result in early layoff of 100,000 parts-industry employes and eventually halt all automobile production.

Refuses Comment A spokesman for General Motors, which yesterday rejected a union arbitration proposal, said no invitation had been received from the Labor Secretary.

Until it has been received, he added, there would be no management comment on the proposed conferences in Washing ton. Walter P. UAW-CIO vice president, in a prepared state ment today, asserted that General Motors has committed itself to in dustrial war all along the industrial front." America's postwar problem, the-statement said, "is not production; it is maintenance of purchas ing power so that the American people can buy back the abundance they can produce." Reuther said the union on Mon day would suggest to G.M. that the wage negotiations be resumed while the strike is in progress.

Reuther said: That an accepted procedure of bargaining. The union, Reuther added, did not plan to make another arbitra tion offer without the provisions. General Motors, in spurning the proposal, described it as "not an offer of arbitration but a demand for abdication," and "so unsound, unfair and unreasonable as to in sure its rejection." The proposal to seek co-operation of tool and die workers, union sources said, did not necessarily mean a strike among such workers, but rather an agreement on their part to refuse to work on material for General Motors.

It sailed 50 yards in the air to Don Gleasner, left end, who towers 6 feet ZVz inches above ground.

They drove desperately as Gleasner struggled forward to fall across the goal line, but could not stop the Maryland end. Virginia's First Defeat' The timer's clock stopped with' Just one minute and five seconds left to play. There was time enough for the desperate Cavaliers to receive the kickoff and try four forward passes.

Only one was completed, gaining seven yards, so Maryland took the ball on downs, ran one play, and time expired. The Terrapin victory snaps a string of seven games without defeat or tie for the Cavaliers, and may result in the denial of a Bowl bid so confidently expected by Virginia. Many Penalties Called It was a hard, rough game, which drew an increasing number of penalties as the battling teams fought Into the dramatic final period. Maryland decisively outplayed the favored Virginians, but until the last sharp thrust overhead it appeared that chance, which so often decides the issue between teams that are reasonably wejl matched, would intervene to keep the Virginia streak unbroken. The Cavaliers scored first in the second quarter after Maryland had been turned back on the rival 14 and again on the 2, where Harry Bonk fumbled on the third down Poling, Sammy Behr and Gleasner were outstanding in the Maryland attack.

By contrast, the maximum rubber requirements of the next few years for the whole world are estimated at possibly i.auu.uuu ions annually. The study groups say that some rubber users would prefer the natural product because of its spe cial qualities, and others would pre fer synthetic. Between these ex tremes, many users may be able to employ either kind of rubber and will determine their preference on the basis of cost.

What Truman Wrote He wrote: "An obvious first step (toward sound national defense) is a con solidation of the Army and the Navy that will put all of our defensive and offensive strength under one tent and one authoritative, responsible command. A com plete integration that will consider the national security as a whole. Absolute cohesion instead of inde pendent departments and agencies, each with its own pride of identity, its prejudices and jealous rivalries that, masquerade as esprit de corps."

No such imports have yet been authorized, though they have been recommended to General MacAr- thur by the Natural Resources Section of GHQ. A third result of the Allied delay is the piling up of large amounts of probably worthless yen by certain Allied agencies which have been permitted to resume limited activities, such as to provide world-wide news for Japan's newspapers. Must Accept Arbitrary Rate These agencies must accept pay ment in yen at the arbitrary rate when the real value of the currency, in the opinion of Japan's own bankers recently canvassed, is not more than 2 cents, or 50 yen to the dollar.

Whether it is worth even this much is questionable, since the cur rency is still rolling off the print ing presses to provide pay-rou amounts for the occupation forces and to keep money in the Government's coffers. The 2-cent value is also doubtful because most of the resources be hind the currency are already im pounded by MacArthurs economists and financiers, and may be held against occupation costs and reparations.

This is the conclusion of an in ternational "rubber study group" of American, British. French and Dutch experts. They have con cluded a meeting" in London, and their report was released simultaneously here and there. It contains no recommendations for -production controls among the nations which produce natural and synthetic rubber, so that the way apparently is left open for intense competition on a cost basis between the manufacturers ol synthetic rubber in this country and the producers of natural rubber in the Malaya-Dutch indies area. Developments Expected Some experts believe and the rubber study group implies that this may lead to the development of a ereat variety of new uses for rubber and new production of rub ber articles in the near future.

The international experts summed up the world's rubber situation this way: United States capacity to produce synthetic rubber stands at 1,055,000 tons a year out of a total maximum world capacity of 1, 400.000 tons. Natural rubber output in the Far East in 1946 may reach 600,000 tons, and the eventual natural rub from the Left as from the Right. is..
