Belgian Newspaper
Protests Secrecy on
Truman's Berlin Trip
Er^tht Associated Press.
BRUSSELS, July 18.—The news
paper La Lanterne, commenting on
press arrangements for President
Truman’s trip through Belgium, pro
tested today in an editorial that
Belgian newspapermen had been
given inadequate opportunity to cov
er the story.
"Without doubt our Allies have
the greatest respect for freedom oi
the press and the greatest concern
for freedom of information, but it
appears it is exercised only when it
benefits correspondents of American
agencies and newspapers,” La Lan
terne said.
The Belgians, however, were not
the only one to protest over the
press arrangements. Up to the min
ute the cruiser Augusta docked with
the presidential party aboard, Army
Navy and diplomatic officials de
clined to discuss the subject of the
President’s visit with American
newsmen, telling them:
"It a top secret, I can give you
no information.”
This attitude was taken despite
the fact that most details of the
President’s passage through the
country were known on every street
corner.
Americans and other accredited
correspondents finally sent a radio
message to Press Secretary Charles
G. Ross, aboard the Augusta, ask
ing they be permitted to cover the
President while he was in Belgium,
but received no answer.
Just before the President left the
Augusta correspondents located a
secret service man, who was sent
aboard with their appeal. They
were then admitted to the pier.
Motorist Is Held Up,
Shot by Highwayman
William Allen, 27, pf 3810 V street
S.E., an engineer for the Capitol
Theater, today was treated at the
Prince Georges General Hospital,
Cheverly, for a gunshot wound in
the lower abdomen, received, police
said, when he was held up early yes
terday by|a group of highwaymen
on Suitland road, near Morningside.
Hospital officials said his wound was
not thought critical.
According to Prince Georges
County police. Mr. Allen was held up
by a group of men in two cars as
he was driving Miss Marv Wills to
her home at Temple Hilis.
He told police that the men or
dered him to drive to a gravel pit
where they robbed Miss Wills of
money she said belonged to her
mother.
Mr. Allen told police that he
ropped his wallet containing a large
mount of money on the floor of his
ar and it was overlooked by the
bandits.
During the holdup, he said, he
scuffled with one of the robbers and
was shot after pushing the man's
■lead ag^nst his car window. He
•aid the men then left, taking the
I;eys to his car.
Police reported that blood was
round on the car door glass, and
ihat the auto is being examined for
fingerprints. They said Mr. Allen
was unable to describe the bandits.
South Africa has a campaign to
rave poor whites in rural areas.

PRESIDENT ARRIVES IN BERLIN—President Truman with his
military aide, Brig. Gen. Harry Vaughan, on arrival at Gatow
Airport in Berlin for conference with Prime Minister Churchill
and Marshal Stalin.

Big Three
'Continued From First Page.}
most pressing of these, of course, is
the future of conquered Germany.
Premier Stalin and Mr. Molotov
at preceding Big Three meetings
have succeeded in getting the United
States and Britain to underwrite
Soviet policies in Europe.
Asia, which stretches from the
Dardanelles to the Bering Straits
off Alaska, now will contribute its
shares of issues, of which the ma
jority may have to be put off for
still another Big Three session.
Russia and Japan are bound by
treaty to nonaggression until next
April.
Co-operation Urged.
Paul Wandel, chief editor of the
German Communist publication.
Deutsche Volks Zeitung, wrote: "We
have no individual party interests
any more. All anti-Fascist demo
cratic parties are united now and
seek permission from all the Allies
to co-operate in the rebuilding of
German life on a new basis. We
hope that permission will be forth
coming from Potsdam.”
Wandel recently returned to Ber
lin from exile in Moscow.
President Truman, bronzed and at
the peak of vitality after an eight
day Atlantic crossing during which
he mixed work with relaxation, was
ready to talk business at once with
Mr. Churchill and Premier Stalin.
He is reported in favor of brief,
generalized reports by himself and
the other two conferees as progress
of the conference warrants.
The President's reported plan to
visit London after the meeting was
described as wholly tentative, and
he will not visit France. It was re
ported that should the conference be
prolonged unduly, the President
would return immediately to Wash
ington, where he would report
promptly to Congress on the meeting.
Meets With Byrnes.
The President's associates said he
met with Secretary Byrnes yester
day immediately after the arrival
of their separate planes from Brus
sels, where they had been driven by
automobile after the cruiser Augusta,
on which they crossed the Atlantic,
docked at Antwerp. Secretary of
War Stimson .also is at Potsdam for
the conference.
After a strenuous day. which in
cluded acknowledgement of greet
ings from thousands lining the
streets of Antwerp and Brussels,
President Truman retired last
night shortly after 10 o'clock.
Mr. Churchill arrived in Potsdam
shortly after the President. Mr.
Truman dined with his press sec
retary, Charles G. Ross; members
of his staff and Secretary Byrnes.
He conferred briefly with Gen.
George C. Marshall, chief of staff,
and Admiral Ernest J. King.
The European greetings to the
American Chief Executive, which
had begun with a salute by seven
British men of war on his arrival
in British waters, continued through
the arrival at Potsdam. During the
trip from Antwerp to Brussels vil
lagers lining the route waved hope
fully to him.
Gen. Eisenhower and Admiral
Harold R Stark, commander of
United States naval forces in
Europe, had met the President on
the deck of the cruiser and accom
panied him as far as Brussels.
Witnesses Destruction.
Mr. Truman was reported amazed
by the evidence of destruction he
saw during his flight yesterda*' across
the Rhine near Coblenz and over
Kassel and other German cities. He
was interested in the signs of agri
cultural activity he saw in scattered
areas.
The scene of the Big Three meet
ing, the former castle of the Kaiser,
is “the kind of a place you'd like
to take a summer vacation at—if
vou could afford it," according to an
American photographer who was
allowed to take pictures of it a few
days ago.
•It's got gardens and woods and1
a lake shore and the best of every
thing." said the photographer,
Charles T. Haacker, whose photo
graphs for the combined American
1 press were flown back to the United
States.
A small foyer leads to the confer
ence room where there will be many
hours of deliberation in the coming
days, as seemingly endless global
problems will be dumped, figurative
ly speaking, on a roundtable 12 feet
in diameter.
The conference chamber is about
40 by 30 feet with a peaked roof!
of oaken beams two stories above!
the parqueted floor.- The deep red
color admired by Russian Com
j munists and the German Hohen
zollerns alike 1s dominant in the
rugs and draperies.
An elaborate stone fireplace stands
in one corner.
Mr. Haacker counted 15 chairs at
the round table, three of them large
rococo pieces with gilded cherubs
on the backrests and standing a foot
higher than the others.
A common hall leads to both Mr.
Truman's and Mr. Churchill's
studies on the ground floor.
Mr. Truman's study is a bright,
comfortable affair furnished in pine
with his favorite books lining three
of the walls. In an alcove are chairs
and a table where refreshments may
be served.
Nearby is an elongated dining
room in a color combination of soft
greens, creams and whites, with
glass cupboards filled with expen
sive crystal ware.
D. Gogberidze, a Georgian who
catered with distinction at Yalta,
has had a special banquet table
| made for the Big Three and 27
other possible quests.
Flagstone Terrace.
Prom the dining room three;
French doors open onto a flagstoned I
terrace beyond which stretches a
green garden.
On the second floor a sitting room
with mahogany furnishings has
been prepared for Mr. Truman.
On the same floor is a spacious
communications center for the
American staff including an array
of 16 de$ks.
At the end of the American wing
on the second floor is a liaison room
where officials can confer and ex
change notes.
Nearly 4,000 GI’s helped to get
Potsdam ready for the meeting and.
among other jobs, converted Ger
man homes into everything from
restaurants to radio stations.
Drawn from Maj. Gen. Floyd L.
Parks’ Berlin occupation troops, the
Americans put up new buildings,
hauled in 4,000 blankets and set up
luxury installations for food and
drink.
The output of one suburban ice
plant was reserved exclusively for
the Potsdam conferees.
Two Quartermaster Corps dietiti
ans conferred on the conference
menus, which will include lettuce
hearts, succulent melons and choice
meat cuts stored until needed in
two 10-ton mobile refrigerators.
Wide Choice of Drinks.
When Mr. Truman offers his
Soviet and British friends a drink
there will be a wide choice available
—Scotch, gin, bourbon and vodka,
Moselle and other wines, cognac,
curacao and creme de menthe.
The American Army transported
20 electric refrigerators from Great
Britain to Potsdam and a variety of
other items, including 20 lawn
mowers, 50 vacuum cleaners and 150
alarm clocks, Donald Coe, American
Broadcasting Co. corespondent, re
ported from Berlin.
“Among other items brought in
for the American area,” Mr. Coe
said, "were 15 davenports and
matching chair suites. There also
were 25 ironing boards, 100 whisk
brooms, 20 sets of lawn furniture,
3.000 bath towels, 90 electric irons,
5.000 linen bedsheets and 100 bedside
lamps.”
Industrialist Dies

two years as chief of the Army’s
'Birmingham ordnance district, died

where he had gone on a vacation.
He had been' associated with sev

London Papers Hint
Further Objections to
Bretton Woods Plan
By the Associated Press.
LONDON, July lfl.—A possibility
that Britain wquld raise further ob
jections to the Bretton Woods plan
was suggested by articles in two of
London's leading financial dailies to
day.
With the plan coming before the
United States Senate, financial
circles here awaited congressional
arguments as a prelude to eventual
debate in Parliament.
The Financial Times said opinion
in Britain as a whole had ‘‘prob
ably hardened toward acceptance of
the basic principles of the final act,”
but that utterances by Sir John
Anderson, chancellor of the ex
chequer, suggested "we do not in
tend just to put our signature on
the dotted line, even if the Amer
ican Senate passes on the legisla
tion before it.”
Will Consider Merits.
‘‘We in this country will consider
it entirely upon its merits,” said
the Financial Times. "It must not
be assumed that we are out to
raise bargaining points but our po
sition is a peculiar one. We have
already suffered severely in the
cause of others and still have to
face up to the inexorable pressure
of economic circumstances.
"The desire of most people in
Great Britain Is to follow an ex
pansionist policy in world trade
but we must have toom to turn
around.”
The Financial News, taking note
of the possibility of American dollar
loans, said Britain would have to
"give' a blank sterling check to
other nations."
Risk in Buying Up Goods.
“The grand total of these checks
would be fixed, it is true, by the
amount of the British contribution
to the fund." the News said. “But
there is nothing in the final act
that would prevent any one of the
member countries from using Its
quota entirely in the form of ster
ling.
“This may not cppeav to be a bad
thing, for it would mean that the
country concerned would increase
its purchases from Great Britain.
But. during the first postwar years
at any rate, it is essential to export
largely to countries which pay in
hard exchange.
“Under the Bret.toft Woods plan
there is a risk that an unduly large
amount of our limited exportable
surplus of goods would be bought
up with the aid of sterling placed
at the disposal of the fund."
Man Shot, Another Flees
During Fracas With Police
One man Is in Gallinger Hospital
today with a bullet wound In his
thigh and police are seeking an
other man as the result of a fracas
early yesterday between them and
two policemen.
The wounded man is Herman
Walker, 24, colored, of 1312 Fifth
street N.W.
Pvts. R. L. Carter and Luther
Miller of the second precinct, were
told by colored girls that two col
ored men had threatened them in
Ming's Cafe, 640 O street N.W., the
officers said. They went to the
place and saw two men rise from
a both. The officers believed they
answered the description of two
men wanted for a robbery.
Each policeman took a man and
led them to a patrol box at Seventh
and O streets N.W. Pvt. Miller’s
prisoner began to fight, and Mr.
Carter intervened. The latter's pris
oner then fled with the policeman
.pursuing, but the man escaped.
Meanwhile, a patrol wagon arrived
and Mr. Miller put his prisoner
inside. The policeman said the
prisoner threatened to kill him and
began a struggle for his pistol. Mr.
Miller drew the weapon and shot
the prisoner.
Walker's condition is not serious,
hospital authorities said.

Berliners walking the streets or
riding bicycles paid little attention
to the procession.
The 2d Division Band played the
“Star Spangled Banner" as Presi

has never prevented war,” the Re
publican leader said.
“It is always viewed with suspi
cion and fear by other countries,
forcing them to adopt the same
policy.
“It becomes an insupportable bur
den, a constant drain on the people
of the world, and a further incentive
to war.
“In view of the world’s hope of
peace and the’ ultimate destruction
of the military power of Germany
and Japan, an effort to eliminate
compulsory military service as a
policy of all peoples cannot come
too soon.”
The House Postwar Military Pol
icy Committee recently ended ex
tensive hearings during which post
war military training was advocated
by virtually all the top military
leaders of this war.
The committee recommended a
broad universal training policy.
Mr. Martin's office said his reso
lution is intended to put the House
on record and will not be subject to
Senate action.

that Britain will not be able to
abolish her exchange controls im
mediately after the war. In this
connection, it is suggested that the
fund plan should be deferred and
the United States should lend or
give Britain $3,000,000,000 to $5,000,
000,000.
“But would a large gift or loan
solve Britain’s balance of payments
problem? Britain's principal prob
lem is one of organizing her foreign
trade so that she will secure suffi
cient foreign exchange from her
trade and other international busi
ness to pay for the imports which
she must buy for her industries and
to maintain adequate living stand
ards. Britain can do this only if
world trade is stabilized at a rela
tively high level. Britain’s basic
problem, therefore, is to obtain a
fair share of an enlarged world
trade.
Will Expand World Trade.
"The fund and bank will help
Britain, and other countries, by ex
panding world trade. When we
know more fully what the British
balance of payments problem is
after the war we can consider the
aid that Britain needs.”
Senator Wagner also replied to
the claim that the United States
puts up all of the stabilization
fund’s good assets, as follows:
“As I have already pointed out,
the other 43 countries will pay in
more than $1,100,000,000 in gold,
and about $5,000,000,000 in their
own currencies. To say that the
Canadian dollar, the British pound,
the franc, the peso, the guilder and
other currencies subscribed to the
fund are without value is to ignore
the fact that they are in wide de
mand in all of the exchange mar
kets of the world.
"Ask any banker engaged in the
business of buying and selling these
currencies every day if he believes
them to be worthless. These and
all the currencies in the fund meet
the only practical test of their
value—they can be used, without re
striction or limitation, in making
purchases and paying obligations
in the country of issue.”
Foes of the plan virtually con
ceded today that the Senate is sure
to approve it.
“I’m afraid we haven’t a chance
| to beat it,” Senator Millikin, Re
publican, of Colorado told reporters.
| The measure already has been ap
I proved overwhelmingly by the
House, and that chamber is defer
ring a summer recess until later in
the week in order to be able to
concur in any minor changes the
Senate may make.
Zoo Lions Lack Meat
The food shortage struck home
to the lions, wolves, crocodiles, din
goes, vultures, eagles, owls and
other flesh-eaters at the Dublin
Zoo, when a labor dispute shut down
on the supply of horse meat. At one
period the situation was so acute
that it looked as if the 19 lions and
cubs would have to be destroyed. An
appeal was made for horses which
would be killed by the humane
slaughterer at the Zoological Gar
dens. The firm of Edw«rd O’Keefe
supplies five horses a week to feed
the lions alone.

La Guardia Hopes
Truman Will Visit
France as Official
By thr Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 16—Mayor
La Guardia, who called oft his pro
posed trip to France to celebrate
Bastille Day there because the
White House gave him permission
to do so only in “a personal ca
pacity,” yesterday offered President
Truman the following advice in his
weekly broadcast:
“If the President should visit any
other country during or after the
conference at Potsdam, I hope he
visits France—and, Mr. Truman, if
you do go to France, go as the
President of the United States, not
in a personal capacity nor as a pri
vate citizen.
“You know the French are sen
sibly sensitive. You should visit
France by all means. It would be
most encouraging to the good peo
ple of France.”
The Mayor was invited to attend
the Bastille Day celebration as a
guest of the French government,
but decided not to go after Presi
dent Truman, at a press confer
ence at the White House July 5,
disclosed Mr. La Guardia would
have to go as a private citizen.

Mrs. Roosevelt Says
People Must Sacrifice
To Gain World Peace
Br the Associated Free*.
NEW YORK, July 16.—World
peace, Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt says,
is the job of the people—“they have
to get on with each other—they
have to know about each other—
they have to care enough about
peace to make whatever sacrifices
peace entails.”
Speaking on the “Washington
Story” program over the American
Broadcasting System yesterday, she
said President Roosevelt considered
it necessary to have the United Na
tions Charter “accepted while the
war was still going on and the
United Nations were, lighting to
gether to win the war."
“He felt that if we could get the
machinery running," she said, “then
we would have a better chance than
ever before of making the people
more aware that keeping a peace
building it throughout the world
lay in their hands. * * *
“It seems to me that the aware
ness on the part of individuals of
their obligation in this great work
is that thing that my husband felt
most important."
Also appearing on the broadcast
were Mrs. Wendell L. Willkie and
Mrs. Eleanor McAdoo. daughter of
former President Wilson.
Mrs. Willkie said her husband's
"greatest idea was that the United
States should lead the world as a
moral force.” She added that "the
spirit which brought men together
at San Francisco is the same spirit!
for which he struggled.”
Mrs. McAdoo said her father knew!
the League of Nations could not en
dure without support of the Amer
ican people.
She commented that "the League
isn't dead. It was reborn in San
Francisco in a newer, more modern
form. And this time, because Amer
icans will back it up, it can’t fail.”
