 Informal discussion of the veto problem has included American British talks, converse tionS between Soviet Delegate Andrei A. Gromyko and Secretary of State Edward R.. Stettinius, Jr., and sounding out by the big powers of the feelings of the little and middle-sized nations.
 The actual negotiations on this delicate isue are going on in Mos COW where Harry L. Hopkins, the personal representative of President Truman, prolonged his stay because of new business. No one here would deny that Hopkins was ne- gotiating directly with Marshal Josef Stalin.
 There was no elaboration of the fact that revision of the Yalta vot- ing formula was possible solution Ol Ullt Cl lSlS. OUCH d lcNEolOll WOu1o not be expected to make a basic change in it but, by revision, avoid the present ambiguity on procedural issues-those on which majority of any seven Security Council mem- bers is needed for a decision.
 The mere fact that the United States is willing to think of alter ing the voting formula is highly sig nificant. Until now, the emphasis has been that formula must go into the world charter without any change whatsoever.
 Another possible solution is a suggestion in some quarters for postponement of a decision. It is pointed out that the present con- troversy centers only on interpre- tation of the voting formula - whether the Big Five starts with investigation" of a dispute or with discussion" of it.
 Postponement of decision has many undesirable aspects. There

 A British foreign office comment ator said he did not believe the ex- act boundaries of the occupation zones had been set.;ed. For instance, I don't believe the exact position of the French zone is determined" he said. He said the subdivision of Vienna had not yet been agreed upon either, and he could not answer questions concerning Austrian occup ation plans.
 In Paris, however, the French for eign office announced that Ameri- can, British and French military missions went to Vienna Sunday to join the Russians in administering Austria.

But, to avoid a mass movement of troops, it was possible that the Seventh army, already well-estab- lished in Bavaria, may be left in- tact as the chief occupational force. There also was a possibility that 18th army headquarters would move in and take over control of troops of the Seventh army. Fifteenth army troops in this case might be assigned to another army in the Pa cific.

 The union was posting workers at company gates today to urge second shift workers to go in. All scrap room men had returned but casting shop men in general had changed clothes and went home for the day promising to resume in the morning.
 Meanwhile it was disclosed that a conference with the appeals committee of the NLRB will be held next Monday, June l, in Washing ton relative to the dispute.
 The dispute is said to have been and labor since March 1944 when the War Labor Board is said tc have directed the company to pay the compensatory bonus in lieu ot loss of overtime earnings.
 MT. Driscoll stated that the com pany then changed the work shifts and dropped bonus payments by this move. The bonus was to replace it was said, the loss of overtime earnings brought on the NRLB ex. ecuJive order No. 9240 abolishing tht double-time for Sundays and holi. days and time and half for Sat urdays because of the seven day work week. The NLRB ordered in- stead that 109 per cent compensa. tory bonus in lieu of overtime, bt paid.

 T propose to begin our work by the signing of the text.
 There are deviations in article 10 of the Russian text, in which the word 'cargoes' is used, whereas in the English and French texts the word used is nationals.
 Therefore we agree to eliminate this word until further clarificatio The rest of the text is authentic and can be signed. Are there any objecfons?"
 There were none, and Zhukov drew a gold fountain pen-the one with which he signed the German equalization in Berlin on May g. from a Red Morocco case and ap- pended the first signature.
 There were 16 copies to be signed four each in English, French, Rus sian and German.

 Originally it had been expected that this meeting would develop inn mediately into the first session o. the Allied control council for Ger many It had been thought likely that the council would immediately start discussing where it should make its permanent headquarters il Berlin proved impossible.
 Zhukov made it clear, however that he had no instructions from his government to carry on any further discussions until the withdrawal o1 American troops from the zone ot Germany to be occupied by Russia is completed.
 It was agreed in principle tha further meetings should be held al an early date, but no specific time or place was set.

 Later, on croSs-eXamination by Attorney Mascolo, he said the search was conducted about four or five hours after 7:30 a. m., the time he first arrived at the scene, and admitted that a large number of persons had been there during that time.
 Grady was given the four pieces of broken panel from the Cyr kitchen door and asked to match them on the door, and was ques- toned at length on the blood stains on the individual pieces.

He testified, on examination by Attorney Mascolo, that the l1v- ing room door is four feet away from the kitchen door
 Presenting the blood-soaked pal anna top, worn by the shooting vic- tim, the defense attorney asked, "As the body was facing down, was the back of the pajama blood-soak- ed as it is now?" The witness an- swered in the negative.
 Grady then testified the blood collected on the back of the gar ment when the body was turned over after the medical examiner ar- rived.
 During the course of the cross examination the witness stated ne took no measurements of the loca- tton of the body in the kitchen and said he had no written memoranda on the information given during testimony.
 Death Weapon
 At one point the defense attor- ney presented the death weapon, 2 12-gauge double barreled gun, ano asked Grady to illustrate how he picked up the gun at the Cyr nome The witness said he picked it up tc smell the barrel and found an odol of fresh powder. He said there was a spot about a foot from the enc of the barrel at the time.
 The second time the former de' tective picked the gun up in tht courtroom he used handkerchle' to handle it. The defense comment ed that he did not use hanoker' chief the first time when asked t< show how he handled the gun at tht staying scene.
 Grady testified he could not fne the blood spot on the gun, whllt examining it in the courtroom yes terday, and pointed to the approxl mate spot where he thought 1t hat been located. He said he did no have the spot analysed.
 The former detective also reveal ed he had removed an ironing boare from behind the kitchen door. De tailed questions were asked on tha action.
 Grady said he did not have { search warrant when he went t. the Coscia tenement on the secont floor, and added he was not the frs one there. He said he did not ascer tain whether anyone had searcl warrant.
 Torn Undershirt

 Goebbels' own body was discov- cred by the Russians in the same underground shelter, together with those of his wife and children All had died by poisoning. Goebbels apparently had administered poison to the members of his family and then committed suicide.
 His body was found practically decapitated by a shell splinter ol explosive charge which had caught him full in the neck, almost tear ing his head from his body.
 Easily Identified
 The bodies of Goebbels and his family also were badly burned, but were identified by the Russians without too much difficulty.
 The Russians have given no hint as to how the bodies of Hitler Goebbels and other Nazis found in Berlin have been disposed of. This probably will remain a secret fol all time to guard against the pos sibility of Nazi fanatics trying tc recover the bodies.

 Al the same time it became oo- vious the mission Of reextablishing communicat.o7s with China would be accomplished. and as the future obgeciives os the forces in Souih- east Asia and China were to groW continually more divergent. it ap- peared advisable 10 make a clear division Of the two theaters. Ac- cordinely. the American admin strative area of China Burma India was separated into the India Burma and the China thea ters. u. Gen. Daniel I. Sultan. who had been General Stilwell's dep- uty. was given command of the India Burma theater. Maj. Gen. Albert c. wedemeyer, formerly Chief of the War Department Strategical Planners and later a member of Admiral Mountbat- tens staff, was appointed com mander of our forces in China, succeeding General Stilwell as the Generalissimo's Chief of Staff.
 New Assignment for Stilwell
 No American officer had demon- strated more clearly his knowledge of the strength and weakness of the Japanese forces than General Stilwell and the steps necessary to defeat them in Asia. He was brought back to the United States to reorient the training of the Army Ground Forces for the war against Japan. Then after the death of General Buckner on Ok;nawa he was returned to the field to command the U. s. Tenth Army.
 The Burma campaign continued with intensity during the monsoon season of 1914, Chinese, American and British troops were then dis posed along the Chindwin River north of Kalewa and from the upper Irrawaddy to Lungling. It was planned to drive southward through Central Burma to Manda- lay, and Admiral Mountbatten prepared for operation DRACULA to seize Rangoon amphibiously from the south. At the close of the monsoon, Chinese, American, and British troops under the immedi- ate command of General Sultan advanced southward astride the Irrawaddy, captured Shwegu in early November, and by December had cleared the projected trace of the supply road to Burma.
 The Japanese in Burma had never recovered from General Stilwell's thrusts and from the losses inflicted by British and h. dian forces on their 18th. 3lst, and 33d divisions in their abortive effort to sever the Bengal-Assam Railroad. As fast as the combat forces moved ahead, United States Engineers, commanded by Brig Gen. Lewis A. Pick, showed the road foreward behind them, operat- ing their bulldozers so far for ward that they were frequently under fire. On 28 January 1945 a convoy of American trucks and materiel from India crossed the Burma China frontier. The Stil- well Road was open.
