U.S. Plan Calls For Armed Force To Insure Peace
Washington, (INS) - President Roosevelt today made public the American blueprints for preservation of peace in the postwar world through the creation of a council of nations and a court of international justice led by the United States, Great Britain, Russia and China.
The chief executive's plan envisioned an armed world in which member nations would maintain "adequate forces" to prevent future wars and to make it impossible for any nation to prepare deliberate war in the future.
These forces, Mr. Roosevelt said would be called upon for "joint action when necessary."
Mr. Roosevelt declared the plan does not call for the creation "of a super state with its own police forces and other paraphernalia of coercive power."
Instead he said "the maintenance of peace and security must be the joint object of all peace loving nations" and the future peace of the world would be maintained through respective agreements between all the member nations.
The world council, the president said, would be elected annually by representatives of all the participating nations.
Personnel Course Is Begun in K.C.
In cooperation with various personnel management firms in Kansas City, the University School of Business and the Extension division are sponsoring a special personnel management course in Kansas City. Guy V. Keeler of the Extension division has announced. The course began Thursday night with the first of a series of night classes to be held at the Municipal auditorum, Roy W. Browning, director of the program said.
Students enrolled in the new course, which is designed to give professional training to those engaged in, or who plan to enter, personnel management work, will attend classes two nights a week for twelve weeks, Browning said. Enrollment in each of the classes is limited to thirty-five.
Certificates will be presented to students completing each one of the courses.
Subjects chosen by the School of Business for the course, according to Dean F. T. Stockton, are: employment procedure, labor relations, wage and hour administration training and supervision, and statistics, including work with personal records.
The class in Employment Procedure began Thursday night with Webster Rickoff, special instructor for the Extension Division, in charge. Other classes in the training course will begin soon, Brownning said.
Newest Mystery Weapon Begins Its First Announced Operation; Cherbourg Partly Surrounded
B-29, super-fortress bombers, newest mystery weapon of the United States military arsenals, blasted Japan today in their first announced operation of the war.
A dramatic one-sentence announcement by the war department in Washington gave no details as to precisely where bombs were dropped or in what strength the gigantic planes operated.
Speculation concerning the B-29 has been rife for many months as they are known to be the mightiest plane ever built

Catherine Fruin Croce, College junior from New York City, has received official notification that her brother, Lt. Robert Fruin, has been killed in action in the South Pacific theater of operations. He was 22 years old.
The first word that Mrs. Croce knew of the tragedy came Sunday in a letter from friends who assumed that she had already heard. Last week she received a letter from her brother dated May 24. Yesterday she received official notification accompanied by a picture of him and his crew. He had just returned from active combat when his plane crashed near Darwin, Australia. Lt. Fruin was a member of the crew of a B-24 Liberator bomber and a member of the Dutch royal air force who received training in the United States. He has been in the air force for two years.
The Fruin family came to the United States four years ago from Europe.
in this country and possibly in the entire world.
In Europe, Field Marshal Irwin Rommel's armor-paced counter attack aimed at the center of the Allied lines near Villers-Boche broke under the iron resistance of United Nations forces which inflicted a "severe loss" on the enemy.
Allies Are More Than Holding Own Throughout the foort Germans continued their blows trying desperately to stem the Allied advance. Late information received at the supreme headquarters indicated, however, that the Allies were more than holding their own while American airborne troops posed the greatest threat yet leveled against enemy units in the upper Cherbourg peninsula.
These doughboy detachments stabbed to points from eight to 10 miles beyond Carentan and threatened to cut the main railway and highway leading to the port of Cherbourg. Loss of these arteries would mean end of any hope of escape for large masses of German troops garrisoning Cherbourg and the nearby area. At last report the Americans were within seven miles of the high ground.
