Force Topic
at Dunbarton

Washington. Aug. 2S-AP-Sov-
let. American and British delegates
to the Dumbarton Oaks security
conference worked today toward
agreement-possibly a three.way
compromise--on the most effective
way TO organize force for suppress
ing future aggressor nations.
As the historic preliminary talks
went into their second week. II was
learned that two principal ideas
have been developed thus far. One
Is a Russian proposal for an inter-
national air corps. The Russian
delegation is understood not to be
lrrevocably committed TO creation
OF such corps but is backing ~
strongly with the argument that 1t
would provide ready means or
striking in any part OF the world
where trouble threatened.
The American delegation has
suggested a plan by which each ma
ton would commit at least a part OF
It's national forces, including air
and naval, to be used In accordance
with the orders Of the international
security organization but at the
direction OF the national govern
ments.
This American plan Is under
stood to be tied in with a general
principle that development OF the
international organization can best
be effected along lines Of regional
responsibility for keeping the peace.
BY this plan each country agreeing
to use force when called upon
would expect 10 do so primarily IN
that part OF the world in which its
major national interests lie.
There has also been some talk
OF organizing regional international
bodies. subordinate 10 the world Sc
curity agency. which would funo
ton somewhat in the manner OF the
Pan-American Union in this hemis
phere.
So far there Is understood tc
have been agreement OF views
among the three delegations on the
need for forces TO be available for
international police work in suHh
strength that no threatening ag-
gressor would be able to match
them.

.ReCOnVerslOn
Bill Assailed

Washington, Aug. 2S-AP- The
congressional reconversion pro-
gram faced an uncertain and rough
future on Capitol Hill today. New
Deal Democrats lambasted the Sen
ate-passed unemployment compen-
sation bill and government agen-
cies assailed its companion mea-
sure providing for the disposition
OF surplus property.
The latter proposal, passed in
different form by both the Senate
and House, headed for a joint con-
ference that will seek to compose
the differences.
Two days of debate, starting to-
morrow, have been set aside for
House consideration of the unem-
ployment aid bill. At least two
more days, and possibly more, will
be required to dispose of a pile Of
amendments already drafted or In
the preparation stage.
Indications that the administra-
ton would seek to liberalize the
compensation provisions Of the bill
came from four staunch House
new dealers, Representatives Eber-
harter OF Pennsylvania. Lynch Of
New York, Forand of Rhode Island
and Dingell of Michigan.
In a minority report they con.
demned the measure approved by
the House Ways and Means Com
mittee as utterly inadequate"
complained that 1t failed to provide
properly for millions OF war work
ers and government employees, and
said 1t did not give the proposed
director OF mobilization sufficient
authority 10 do his job. They ad-
ded that It is nothing but skel-
eton."

fRv Associated Pressl


Paris, Aug. 2S--A new French
government was being set up in
liberated Paris today after a fren-
zied week end in which Gen. Dwight
ID. Eisenhower was given a tumul-
tous welcome. the Germans bombed
the city, and Gen. Charles de Gaulle
escaped death or injury from snip
ers bullets.
(The Paris radio in a broadcast
heard in London said the city was
quiet today and that two addition
al nests OF enemy resistance had
been mopped up).
Nearly all OF the directors OF the
French resistance movements, who
will have prominent parts in the
new government, were in the city.
The Algiers government was ell
route.
Quartus Cerat, head OF all French
resistance, was appointed minister
at.large under de Gaulle. Cerats
name, like some others In the resist
ance movement, Is an assumed one.
Crowds jammed the Champs
Elysees yesterday and shouted
themselves hoarse as Gen. Eisen-
hover and his British, French, and
American staffs made ceremonial
tour of the city that ended In the
shadow Of the Arc de Triomphe.
There, the four-star general, with
the smile as broad as the Kansas
prairie, told cheering Parisians: u
have come here to pay the tribute
OF the Allied forces to the indomit-
able spirit OF Paris"
Gen. Eisenhower wanted Gen. Sir
Bernard L. Montgomery, 1t. Gen.
George S. Patton, Jr., and Gen.
Charles de Gaulle to participate in
the parade, but duty prevented
their appearance.
German planes had bombed Paris
suburbs the night before and early
yesterday the skies were aglow
from the light OF fires. The death
toll was placed at 10, with 7l9
persons injured.
When the raiders came over, peo-
pie were still in the streets cele-
brating, despite the battle which

The pattern OF Allied strategy in
France commences 10 emerge with
considerable clarity. In the north
