Governor Declares
Statements False
OKLAHOMA CITY, Mar. 5—(/P)
-.Governor Robert S. Kerr asserted
today he was "just as anxious" for
passage of the Robert Burns bill,
which would Invalidate most of the
governor's appointments to the state
board of regents for A. and M. col-
leges, "as Mr. Burns himself Is."
“Any statement that I was trying
to kill the Burns bill” declared
Kerr. "Is not based on fact.”
The governor said he made his
appointments upon advice of the
attorney general after approval by
the people of a constitutional
amendment creating the board.
"If the house and senate set up
specifications for the board." Kerr
said. "I will be just as happy to
comply with them as the constitu-
tional amendment. I never have
made any effort to kill the Burns
bill or impede Its progress. I am
Just as anxious to see the Burns
bill passed as Mr. Burns himself i
Is.”
The legislation, introduced by
Senator Burns. Oklahoma City, pre-
scribes a set of qualifications for
membership on the board which
could not be met by most of Kerr's
appointees.

| WASHINGTON, Mnr. 5 - '/«-
Pluns for the united notions con-
ference at San Fr inclsco began
to take final shape today with
these developments:
j 1. The state department announc-
ed that Invitations had gone out
J to alt the united nations except

the world security organization. II
all accept as expected, 44 nations

2. Senator Arthur H. Vanden-

nounced he had accepted appoint-
ment as a delegate. This rounds
out the United States group, all
seven others having u:cepted prev-
iously.
France Declines Part
j 3. It .was nude known that
| France had declined to Join Rus-
sia, Oreat Britain and the United
States in sponsoring the San
Francisco conference. Reason giv-
en: France was not a party to the
Dumbarton Oaks conversations at
which a preliminary outline for
a world security organization was
drafted, hence declined to Join
In sponsoring the conference called
to consider the Dumbarton Oaks
proposals.
4. The voting procedure In the
I world security organization envis-
aged in the Dumbarton Oaks plan
was made public. The matter of
procedure was left undecided at
Dumbarton Oaks. President Roo-
sevelt, Marshal Joseph Stalin and
Prime Minister Winston Churchill
worked out an agreement on the
subject at Yalta but held up an-
nouncement until today.
Provision Noted
In substance, It provides IhuJ a
small nation may have tire right
to bring charges against a great
power and get them, heard by

cil even though the gieat power
