BIG THREE MEET
DRAWING NEARER
BY EDDY GILMORE

MOSCOW, Sept. 29-(RlPremier
Marshal Stain will be just as glad
to meet again wi tn President
Roosevelt and Prime Minister
Churchill as they will be to see
him, it was reported on good au-
thority here today.
Churchill's call yesterday for
second meeting of the Big Three
to plan the final phases of the
European war and to consider
problems of the peace brought
favorable response from the Rus
sian people, but there was no Off
cal intimation as to when or where
the conference would take place.
The first meeting at Tehran, it
was recalled, perfected plans for
the Allied invasion of France. It
was felt here that a second meet
ing might effect coordination of
the three high commands, lay the
groundwork for the peace and de-
eide just what is to be done with
defeated Germany.
Churchill's address, supporting
Russia's claim to safe western
frontier and expressing hope for a
friendly agreement on the entire
Polish problem, received wide
spread treatment in the Russian
press, some papers printing up to
four columns of the prime minis
tiers words.
Emphasis was placed on Church
ills assertion that Russia is ZEN
titled to safe frontiers and to have
friendly neighbors on their western
flank. This statement, it was felt,
would have an important effect on
the settlement of the Polish prob
lem.
Since the Polish government in
exile in London broke with Gen.
Kazimierz Sosnkowski, Polish mil
itary commander and Soviet critic,
there appeared here to be better
chance for a Polish-Russian rap
prochement than at any previous
time.
The inclusion of, Stanislaw Miko-
lajczyk, premier of the Polish gov
eminent in exile, in a revamped
provisional government on Polish
soil has been compromise sought
by American and British diplomats
here.
A second visit to Moscow by Mi
kolajczyk, as forecast by Church
i'll, might well result in the forma-
ton of united Polish regime, it
was believed here.

ROOSEVELT AGAIN

ALBANY, N. Y, Sept. a.
Condemning what he described as
dictatorial tendencies of the gov
eminent in power" Gov. Thomas
E. Dewey expressed confidence to-
night that "our free press will con-
tinue to resist government domina-
ton"
He did not specifically name
President Roosevelt, his November
opponent in the presidential cleo
ton.
1.-THE dictators have given the
world a bitter and bloody demon
stration that government tyranny
is still the great enemy of free
press and Speech Dewey declar-
ed. Measures to suppress COM
pletely the freedom of the press
were carried out by every one OF
the dictators as natural and es-
sential steps to their success.
1.-THE lesson is not without some
application to our own country, as
has been indicated by some Of the
tendencies of the government in
power, against which most editors
and publishers have been watch
full"
The statement was issued in con-
nection with National Newspaper
Week, Oct. 1-8, as the Republican
presidential nominee rested from
his three-week campaign trip to
the west coast and back.
He slept late this morning and
aides said he had no engagements
for the weekend, part of which
may be spent at his farm in Paw
ling. Active campaigning tentative
ly is scheduled to be renewed next
Friday with a speech at Charles
ton, W. Va.
There has been some discussion
of radio broadcast from Albany
before then, but no definite de-
cision has been reached.
Republican National Chairman
Herbert Brownell, Jr., who told the
governor yesterday the latter had
corralled Hundreds of thousands
Of independent and democratic
votes by his initial tour, returned
to New York City today to COM
plete the itinerary of Dewey's ex-
pected swing through the middle

Following the cars tracks, he
came upon the body in the ravine.
Sheriff Black said the victim had
been stabbed once in the heart,
once in the breast and twice in

The fingerprint had been taken

Nazis and in part by 'irresponsi-

are divided in the course OF our
policy toward Argentina
He adopted in full this statement
by Prime Minister Churchill in an
August speech to the House of
Commons:
'"This is not like some small wars
in the past where all could be for

be judged by the part they play.
Not only belligerents but neutrals

world cannot remain entirely un-
affected by the part they have
chosen to play in the crisis of the

The statement asserted that the
Argentine government ''has repu-
dated solemn inter-American obi
cations" providing for common
front against axis aggression, and
added:
''Unless we now demonstrate a
capacity to develop tradition Of
respect for such obligations among

At the same time, some Argentine
