Roosevelt Reports
Firm Accord With
Premier Stain
President Declines
To Discuss Content
Of Their Messages

An excellent understanding
and accord has been reached be-
tween President Roosevelt and
Premier Stain of Russia, Mr..
Roosevelt today told his press
conference in announcing that
Mr.. Davies brought back a letter
from the Soviet leader on his re-
turn last night from a secret
mission to Moscow.
The President would not discuss
the matter further
Mr. Davies left here in mid MAY
carrying letter to Premier Stain.
The contents Of the note, accord
ing to the President, had not even
been communicated to the bearer.
While some observers believed that
the President was seeking to ar
range meeting that would bring
himself. Premier Stain and Prime
Minister Churchill together, there
has never been any indication of
just what was behind the trip of
Mr.. Davies. who formerly repre-
sented this Government at Moscow
The President told newsmen that
their guesses about the mission
probably would be wrong.
Mr.. Davies reached WASHINGTON
late yesterday afternoon by air and
went at once to the White House,
where he spent about two hours
conferring with the President.
Mr.. Roosevelt also categorically
denied today published reports that
Admiral William H. Standley. pres
ent Ambassador to Russia. had ten
dered his resignation.
The President said Admiral Stand
ley had not sent him the resigna
ton. nor had he sent it to the State
Department..
Admiral Standley was rebuked by
the State Department last March
for telling American reporters that
the Russian people had been kept in
ignorance of the lease-lend aid
Russia had received from this coun-
try to bolster its effort against the
Germans, and there have been re-
current reports since then that he
wanted to relinquish his ambassa-
dorial position.

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN
NORTH AFRICA, June 4.-Brit-
ish warships have bombarded the
Italian fortress island of Pantel-
leria for the third and fourth
times this week, hurting shells
into the harbor and battery
areas. it was announced today.
Both Wednesday night and yester-
day morning the big ships stood off
and pounded the rocky island in
duplication of their double assaults
at the start of the week. There was
some slight return fire from Italian
batteries, but as in the two previous
attacks the British naval units were
reported to have suffered no damage
or casualties.
Bombed day and night by Amer
ican and Raj planes in the air siege,
Pantelleria's shore gunners could
reply but weakly as the British ships
raked their emplacements.
An Allied announcement disclosed
that Raj Wellington bombers bat
tered the island outpost Monday and
Tuesday nights and on the latter
date also delivered block-busting
raid on the damaged port of Naples.
Two-ton bombs exploded on the
Naples industrial ar.a and among
the docks and many were seen to
burst among plants and port build
ings,' it was stated.

Nine of Washington's biggest de-
partment stores will be closed all
day Saturday for eight weeks begin
ming July 10, it was learned today
from the Merchants and Manufac-
turers' Association Many other
stores probably will follow the same
plan, it was indicated.
Approval for such closing was
obtained from the Area War Man
power Committee, through Edward
D. Shaw, secretary of the Merchants
and Manufacturers Association
Approval was granted on the basis
OF more effective stabilization of
employment, according to a letter
from RAINY B. Deschner, area di-
rector for the War Manpower Com
mission. The letter was sent to Mr..
Shaw and officials of the stores.
A hearing was held by the Area
Committee Tuesday and the appeal
was granted

City Heads Approve
$4,000 Financing for
Civilian War Services
Special Division Created
Under Compromise Plan;
Faces Congress Hurdle
BY DON S. WARREN.

Reconsidering all previous de-
cisionS on the issue. the Com
missioners today approved a plan
under which the municipal gov
ernment will give official recog-
milton and financing to the Civil
ian War Services unit of Civilian
Defense.
Under compromise plan worked
out after weeks of negotiations be-
tween District officials and repre-
sentatlves of civic groups, Civilian
War Services would be financed up to
$4,000 year. and special division
outside the District Civilian Defense
Department but under the direction
of the Board of Commissioners would
be created. The unit would be under
the control and management of a
volunteer war service board, later
to be named.
There still is hurdle to be passed,
however, for the plan will not be-
come operative until Corporation
Counsel Richmond B. Keech has
drawn up legislation to amend the
District blackout acts. to authorize
the unit and the use of up to $25 900
a year of the blackout fund, which
would need Congressional approval.
Officials explained that the plan
would mean the Civilian War Serv-
ices would be semi-independent, re-
porting directly to the Commission
erS, and 1t was added that in gen.
eral the volunteer war services board
would run its own program"
However, the Commissioners will
have ultimate budgetary control, one
official said. and it was suggested
that in any issue that might develop
the city heads could" step in, but
this was not anticipated.
Joint Committee Plan.
The plan was developed by Joint
committee which was created re-
Gently as result of negotiations
between the Commissioners and q
steering committee named by the
Civilian War Services unit. Mem
bers OF the group were: Joseph D

Gen. de Gaulle has maintained
from the beginning that Gen. Giraud
