UNITED Press Staff COrreSDOndent


London, Aug. 25-(UP)-Ivan
Maisky, veteran Soviet ambassador
to Great Britain, who recently was
relieved of that post, is on his way
back to London, it was revealed to-
day amid reports that Russia favors
three-poWer conference at the
earliest practical moment.
Competent quarters believed dis
cuSSions among Russia, the United
States and Britain could be expected
to be held, either in Moscow and
London, before the leaves of aut-
umn fall"
A Tehran dispatch saying Maisky
was there two days ago on a trip
to London looSed a new wave of
speculation regarding Russia's dip
lomatic and military attitude.
His impending return was not be-
lieved to be automatically signifi-
cant, though it is known that a sug-
gestion had been advanced by the
Russians for three-power confer
ence here in which Maisky and For
eign Commissar v. M. Molotov would
participate.
However, in the light of the Que
bee announcement yesterday, which
was received with some GOODNESS in
Soviet quarters here. it now ap-
peared that any such conference
must be held in Moscow rather than
London.

Drew Pearson
Accepts Dare

Washington, Aug. 25--(UP)-Col-
umnist Drew Pearson, who is 46, to-
day accepted 80-year-old Henry
Ford's challenge to foot race, BIZ
cycle race or a jumping contest to
determine who is the better man
physically.
Ford's challenge was issued after
Pearson had said in a radio broad
cast last Sunday that the govern
ment might have to take over the
Ford Motor company because OF
Ford's failing health. Ford, once
retired, assumed direction of the
company, after the recent death of
his son. Edsel.
"The last time I saw Henry Ford
I confess that he looked like for
midable adversary" Pearson said.
But I accept the challange-With
any vehicle, foot, bicycle or model
T. Ford"
Apparently all that remains is for
Ford to choose the weapons" and
for the two to agree on the time
and place.
Government and diplomatic cir
cles whose activities Pearson has
reported for many years, hoped that
the contest would take place here
and in public.

UNITED Press Staff correspondent
Washington, Aug. 25.-(UP)-Dip-
lomatic observers were convinced
today that Sumner Welles, career
diplomat for % years, was through
as undersecretary of state.
His reported resignation as yet
neither confir:i I'd nor denied by
Welles, the State Department or
the White House - apparently is
the climax to longstanding differ
ences on policy with Secretary of
State Cordell Hull, and the result
of poor health.
Persons close to Welles said his
health was bad, and some who have
seen him at diplomatic functions
within the last week said he OBJ
viouSly was in need of long rest.
Some sources read significance
into the fact that Welles did not
go to Quebec for the Roosevelt
Churchill conference. Instead he
went to Bar Harbor, Me-, at time
when both Mr.. Roosevelt and Hull
were out of town, thus leaving the
department in the hands of assist
ant secretaries.
Victory for Hull
If the circumstances of his resig-
nation were as reported here at
the request of President Roosevelt
after Hull asked him to choose be-
tween them-it will mark a major

French Fleet
To Play Part
BY SANDOR S. KLEIN

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, Aug. 25.-(UP)-The
liberated French fleet soon may be
assigned the major naval role in
the Mediterranean to relieve Amer
lean and British ships for duty in
increasingly active war theaters, in
formed sources indicated today.
The French fleet is now strong
enough for the task. And Allied
leaders want to give the French
greater participation in the war on
Germany.
This development came as the
Roosevelt-Churchill promise of an
imminent now blow against the
Axis touched off a wave Of conjec-
ture here over the likely theaters.
Most opinion was divided between
Mediterranean and Pacific areas.
Although the intensive Allied air
bombardment of Italy suggested
that it might be the next invasion
scene, some military observers
thought either Crete Or Sardinia
would be the objective. Sardinia
would provide the Allies with base
for invasion of southern France.
Crete would force the Germans to
divert military strength to Greece
10 guard against invasion in that
direction.
