CORNELL Of the Associated Press San Francisco, May 11 (AP) A "no vote, no fight" attitude toward mechanism for keeping world peace was gaining strength tonigiit among small and middle powers at the United Nations conference.

Many were lining up behind a proposal that any country whose forces would be used, ought to have a ballot whenever a world organization adopts strong-arm methods to prevent war. And. as the arrival of Argentine delegates completed the roster ot. 49 nations at the Golden Gate, the smaller powers were making bids in other directions for more authority to maintain world security. They would like, for instance, to get more members on a proposed world security council.

Some want to give regional security systems, like the one the American republics already have in operation, the right to squelch threats of war in their own spheres. Seeks Compromise Secretary of State Stettinius was reported striving to whip into shape a United States compromise on this last point by tonight, or tomorrow at the latest. A special meeting of the American delegation was reported in tentative agreement, but with more work to be done. Army and Navy representatives were in close consultation with the delegation and it was indicated President Truman may pass finally upon any compromise of the regional problem that is offered other nations by the Americans. The delegation meets on the issue tomorrow morning.

Efforts of small nations to obtain greater peace shaping authority has brought into sharper focus two big questions about the best way of preventing future wars.

Photo Dooliftle Sees 2,000 Plane Raids on Tokyo London. May 11 (AP) The same type of teamwork by Allied air and land forces that broke Germany's back will crush Japan, Lt.

"Gen. James H. Doolittle declared today in predicting that the Nipponese empire would blaze before long under attacks. Great fleets of Superfortresses, Liberators and Flying Fortresses the latter two types operating as "medium bombers" will be thrown into the assault on the Japanese homeland as speedily as planes, crews and "supplies can be made available, asserted the fiery little commander of the Eighth air force who led the first spectacular jab at Tokyo in 1942. Move Force to Pacific "So far as Japan is concerned, our basic strategy will be weakening the enemy from the air to enable occupation of the land by ground forces," he said in his final press conference in the European theater.

He disclosed that the present operational strength of the Eighth air force in Britain exceeds 2,400 Liberators and Fortresses, with a personnel of 200,000 men and women. He said 'part of the huge force would be moved directly to the Pacific to augment the ever-increasing fleet of Supfrforts. Replying to a question, Doolittle refused to concede that the Euro pean war had proved that country could not be brought to its knees by air power alone. "Under plans adopted by the Allied high commands, the European war could not have been won by airpower alone," he said, "but this var did not prove whether a war could be won by airpower alone if all the energy were turned in that direction." Longe-Range Fighters Saved Day He disclosed that at one time American bomber losses in Europe approached a "prohibitive rate" and that only the introduction of fighter escorts saved the day.

Jap Hunan Troops Hit By Obliteration Raid Chihkiang, May 11 (AP) An obliteration raid that wiped out the staging center of Paoching multiplied today the troubles of the Japanese caught in the wreckage of their western Hunan offensive. Reports from the.

field said that Japanese front forces already were running low on ammunition before the base was struck by 100 tons of high explosives Wednesday in one of the heaviest strikes of this war by the 14th aid force. The Japanese offensive force of 20,000 to 25,000 has been sliced into segments by the valiant Chinese counter drives and the reduction of these one by one may be expected. The way may now be cleared for a Chinese grand offensive eventually against the Japanese supply corridor running through southeast China into, southeast Asia. RAF Officer Casualty Of V-E Celebration London, May 11 (AP) King George VI had a laugh to day during a solemn investiture on Buckingham palace. A young RAF officer who approached the dais to receive the Distinguished Flying Cross had an arm in a plaster cast.

"Then early in 1944 long-range fighters, which had been continu ously in development, came into the air battle of Germany in sufficient numbers to win for us in this period of our greatest crisis, The effect of all this was manifest on D-day, when the luftwaffe did not seriously contest the invasion. 18,512 Nazi Planes Downed One of the highlights of the bom bardment of Germany, Doolittle said, was the continuing contest between Allied bombardiers and Nazi reconstruction battalions trying to- keep Hitler's oil plants in operation.

A final tabulation that the Eighth air force dropped 701, 300 tons of bombs over Europe and destroyed 18,512 enemy aircraft. Bombers and fighters divided hon ors almost evenly in destroying the enemy planes, the fighters getting 9,438 and the bombers 9,047. Asked what part he expected to play in the Pacific war, Doolittle replied laughingly that he only wished he knew. If there is an othfir war he said he thought it would be fought with robot air craft and rockets replacing piloted planes. "We old pilots feel something of a pang when we realize there may be no pilots in the next war, he said.

Or should peace be guaranteed through the cooperative endeavors of all the United Nations? Assembly Limited As set up in the Dumbarton Oaks plan, worked out last fall in Washington by China. Britain, Russia and the United States, the assembly of all nations would be limited largely to making investigations and recommendations. The security council would be the real instrumentality for keep, ing peace, because it would be lowed not only to seek peaceful ad justments, but also to use planes, ships and soldiers to end interna tional disputes. But five big powers the four that produced Dumbarton Oaks, plus France would have to vote solidly for application of force. Any one of them could veto it.

They would be permanent mem- bers of the council. Six other countries would have seats on it, elected by the assembly for two-year terms. Seek Compact Authority But now the smaller countries want those six seats increased to nine or 10. Some of them, Canada in particular, are demanding that if a nation doesn't have a council Beat, it be called in and allowed to vote if its forces would be used to check aggression. A British spokesman was reported to have declared the council to' be efficient, must have its powers and responsibilities bound tightly within a small group of nations.

A Russian backed him up. So it looks as if somebody is going to have to give way before a charter for a new world organization is completed. It is more probable that the little fellows, rather than the big, will have to backtrack a bit. Okinawa Continued from Page 1 overlooking Shuri, Okinawa's second largest city, a little east ol Naha.

The series of Japanese aerial attacks on American forces both on and lying off Okinawa damaged three light naval units. Fleet Adm. Chester V. Nimitz said in today's communique. More than 40 attacking planes were shot down.
