United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Sept 21 Sen. Burton K. Wheeler, D.. Mont-, leading foe of American participation participa-tion in a world peace organization, predicted today there would be a "hell of a fight" when the senate is asked to approve the security plan now being fashioned at Dumbarton Dum-barton Oaks. Declaring it "absurd"' to pattern pat-tern a new league of nations before be-fore the final peace treaties are signed, Wheeler said he considered it far from certain now whether the plan would get the necessary two-thirds vote needed for senate ratification. That depends," he said, ''upon what the American people think of it when they get a chance to see what s in it." Wheeler's blast coincided with the disclosure that the tentative plans being formulated at the Dumbarton Oaks conference provided pro-vided for at least one and possibly iwo Latln-Amerlean reprcsenta- 5000th Fortress Is Now in Action LONDON, Sept. 21 UE The American bomber "Five Grand." the 5,000th Flying Fortress 6 come off the Boeing line at Seattle, Seat-tle, is now in action in this theater, the-ater, it was disclosed today.

This was learned after an official spokesman hinted that seven ro tating members of the council of 11 would be chosen on a regional basis. The formula was believed to be similar to the one advanced by former Undersecretary of State Sumner Welles to have the rotating rotat-ing members distributed as follows two from Europe, two from Latin Lat-in America, one from the Near and Middle East and Africa, one from the Far East and one from the British Dominions. They would be in addition to the big four Great Britain, China, the Soviet Union and the United States which would hold permanent seats. If the rotating regional members are chosen on the basis of their contribution to the war effort, it is certain that Brazil will be chosen at the start for the Latin-American Latin-American seat if there is only one. Mexico would be a likely choice for a second scat. The rotating nations probably would not be allowed to succeed Minnas! MYSTIC CITY OF BAGDAD!

Wheeler said there was one reason rea-son why those advocating early formulation of a new league 'are trying to do it that way because they're scared of what's going to be in the peace treaties."
