PEARL HARBOR, June'7—(Up)
—Allied armed forces struck a
mighty air blow s on the Japanese industrial center of Osaka today. brought
final victory on Okinawa within their grasp, and broadened a grip on the China
coast opposite Okinawa to more than 100 miles.
By land, sea and air the ailies were
pressing through the preliminaries to the decisive assault on Japan proper.
Superforts and fighters nearly 600
strong hit Osaka for the second time in a week. The big bombers poured 2,500
tons of fire and high explosive missiles Into the
city. Clouds obscured the
results. but returning airmen said they blanketed the entire target area.

FRANCISCO, June 7—(TJP>
—With the new world organization
charter nearly completed the United Nations conference waited today for a sign
from Moscow for a "break" in the big five dead-
lock over voting procedure.
Disagreement over a tiny part of
the voting formula—whether a big power should have the right to veto
discussion of a dispute in the security council—is the last major
obstacle to completion of the charter,
Officials predicted that the
conference could be adjourned within 10 days after the veto issue is settled.
That allows for the formalities of commission and plenary sessions.
The veto question has been stuck ever
since the United States. Britain, France and China rejected Russia's proposal
for a veto over council discussion last Saturday.
Neither the United States nor the
Russian delegations here are disposed to make a move on it.
The whole question appears to have
been transferred to a far higher level.
