 TIGER PACE
Capital City Club Trims De- froiters' Lead to
 Single Length
(By The Associated Press)

The hectic American League flag race entered the final three weeks of the season with the first-place Detroit Tigers only one game ahead of the persistent Washington Sen ators following yesterdays double triumph by the Mats and a victory and tie by the Bengals.
 Mickey Haefner, sturdy little scuthpaw, had little trouble annex ing his sixteenth victory in an opening game triumph for Wash ington over the White Sox. But Santiago Ullrich had to come to the rescue of his fellow Latin el- bower, Alex Carrasquel, in the nightcap to eke out 5-4 decision for Ossie Bluege's men.
 The Tigers also were forced to stage late inning rallies to van qquish the Boston Red Sox 6-3 in the first, and obtain a 3-3 H. inning tie in the second. Catcher Paul Richards was the whole show for the Bengals in the opener. His three doubles socked in five of the six runs including three in the ninth, and he scored the other himself.
 The feverish National League title chase remained at stale mate when the top-perched Chi cago Cubs and the second-rung St. Louis Cards each swept their twin bill, leaving the Bruins still three and half games in front.

Ministers IN
Last Minute
Stand

London, Oct. 1-AP-The coun-
ell OF Foreign Ministers, still seek
ing a foundation for Europe's peace
structure, made a last minute ef-
fort to reach agreement today ar
ter the Soviet Union repeatedly re-
fused to sign conference documents
unless her Balkan treaty demands
we're met.
Foreign Commissar V. NJ. Molo-
TOW insisted that only Britain. the
U.S.S.R. and the United States be
allowed to design the peace pacts
with Romania, Bulgaria and Hun
gary.
The Russians based their insist
ent demands on the Pot. dam de-
cision that only nations which sign
ed an armistice with the defeated
Axis satellites be permitted TO write
peace treaties with those nations.
China and France, both members Of
the five nation council. were not
armistice signatories.
There was speculation that the
Russians might agree to sign con-
ference documents to present an
appearance of agreement even II
an accord was not reached on the
Balkans.
With the conferences end immin-
ent, informed sources gave as rea-
sons for failure Of the ministers to
agree on major peace problems:

exchanges Of views, the fact that

Mistakes Maybe, But Honest, Says
Writer of Presidents Frank Talk .

SO far no real damage has been

swers which have given erroneous
impressions OF what he thinks or

Here's an example OF how the
White House feared a wrong i'm.
preston might have been given.
When he returned to the White
House from a weekend outing, the
President met reporters who asked
him about reports that there had
been a lively cabinet session deal
ing with the atomic bomb.
Mr.. Truman said the reports
were not correct, that the meeting
simply produced a discussion on
what Administration policy was to
be on the subject.
The President went on TO say
that in the final analysis he and he
alone would take full personal re.
sponsibility for the future use and
development Of atomic energy.
Immediately this statement re-
ceived front-page play in news.

what he really intended was this:
That he was taking the RESPONSE

dations he should make TO Con-
gress. But he'd leave it up to Con.
