 They ought to be able to use their ammunition at hand without fear that there will not be enough in reserve" he said. If there was ever time that Wc should give them that assurance. 1t is now"
 He made it clear that Allied lead CTS are not counting on any sudden and immediate German collapse. He said he had seen nothing to permit him to share the optimism l find in this country
 On the western front, Allied arm ies are now eZerting strong pres seIo at various points. Several op- portunities are being developed which could be exploited with great | advantage.

 -------------------- San Franciso conference delega- ton was announced.
 Unlike Woodrow Wilson, who went alone to Versailles in 1919, MT. Roosevelt is inviting indiVid- uals among his political opposition to help write the peace bond that he must ask the Senate to sign.
 Selection of Stassen will be of1en- sive to some Republicans. Although twice elected governor Of Minnesota and potential 1948 G. o. F. presl- dential nominee, Stassen is not loved by all his fellow party leaders. He went far beyond most Republicans for United States full participation in world affairs.
 Stassen appointed Sen. Joseph H. Ball, R., Minn., to the senate. baii in turn managed the commanders l944 campaign for the Republican presidential nomination, but finally bolted the G. o. P. ticket last au- tumn Stassen is smeared with that bolt. But he undoubtedly has a considerable following in the party below the grade of top leader
 Other members of the United States delegation will be former Secretary of State Cordell Hull with the courtesy title of senior adviser, chairman Tom Connally, D, Tex, of the Senate Foreign Relations committee, chairman Sol Bloom, D., N. Y, of the House Foreign Affairs committee. and Dean Virginia Gill dersleeve of Barnard college, New York city.
 There was no labor representation on the delegation, an exclusion likely to sound the alarm siren among some of the presidents union supporters But the service man with gun afioat or in a foXhole will be represented by the big bod jed, blond young man from Minne- sota.
 There were some strictly off, record but emphatic senate protests against the delegation personnel. Senators are jealous of their treaty powers Among them it was re- marked that the two house mem- bers, Bloom and Eaton, had no bus iness on the delegation. Stassen's selection was condemned as politi- cal reward for Balls bolt rather than AS recognition of the fighting services.
 MT. Roosevelt has posed nice problem for some Republicans bJ naming Vandenberg to the 0clega- ton. The senator recently has been discussing foreign relations in 2 manner both forceful and chal- lenging. A great many Republicans including Gov. Thomas F.. Dewey have made public commitments tt his ideas. Now, if Vandenbert joins in making 4 treaty which ht reports conforms with his major ob- jectives, 1t will be difficult. but moi impossible, for others to go all ou' in challenge to the pact Persons who know Mir Roosevelt well arounC here do not doubt he Is having { chuckle about wherever h' may be

Pole Verdict Hard On FDR

Washington, Feb. 14-(UP)- Of all the decisions reached at the Crimea conference, the toughest for President Roosevelt to sell to the American public concerns Poland.
 He is losing no time in doing 1t. Ono of his top conference advisers, War Mobilization Director James r. Byrnes, got back to his Washington desk less than 36 hours after the close of the big three meeting. Shortly thereafter he was telling news men many important sidelights of the conference.
 Byrnes returned to Washington while congressman with Polish con- st.tuencies and Polish American so- cieties were denouncing the Crimea conference as "a second Munich" and accusing the President of doc ile submission" to ussia'S demands on Poland.
 "The Polish issue is an awfully complicated one," Byrnes said.
 "Of course the decision is com promise. But the language used in the statement should be encouraging to supporters of the London Poles. Instead of recoznizing the Warsaw Lublin government, new govern ment will be formed-neither the London nor the Lublin groups"
 Byrnes emphasize the need of compromise and reconciliation Of views" among big powers fighting a bloody war.
 Tt must be remembered that the Russian Army has liberated Po- land," he continued. Tt was the Red army that drove the Nazis out Of Poland. The Soviet position is that they don't want any government which they cannot trust behind the Russian armies"
