Yonks Seen as Tough Barrier
For Redskins Start to Title

triumph over Pittsburgh in which
Herb Kopf's eleven only hinted at
its potential power.
The New York Giants, besin-
ming the defense Of their Eastern
honors, take on the Steelers, while
the heavily favored Philadelphia
Eagles-undefeated in five pre-
season tests, face the Cards.
In the West, Green Bay, flushed
with a decision over the Bears,
meets Detroit, while the Bears try
a comeback at the expense OF the
dark horse Cleveland Rams.
Fumbling around with the r
formation for the first time, the
Redskins last season scored a mere
1852 points against 180 for the op-
position. They ended on the dis
NAL note Of a 3l-0 shutout by the
Giants, but this year gives promise
OF a smoother, more deceptive
offense and more bountiful crop
of touchdowns.
One big reason for the optimistic
air pervading the Wigwam Is the
return of Steve Bagarus, for keeps,
We hope. The Tribe also has Bill
De Correvont, who is making his pro
debut. although sore leg muscles will
keep him on the bench most Of to-
morrow. Bagarus has been tried and
found acceptable, but De Correvont,
after a spotty college career, must
earn his spurs.
1t will be Bagarus' jack-rabbit
sprinting, plus the passing OF Sam
my Baugh and Frank Filchock that
may be the difference between vic
tory and defeat today, although last
year it was Bob Seymour's running
and Filchock's passing that saved
the day at Boston, and Frank Akins'
legwork and Baugh's throwing that
won the game at Washington. Bos.
ton came dangerously close to tying
both games, reaching the Redskins
7-yard line in the last two minutes
OF the first before George Cafeso
fumbled. Today the Yanks have an
idea they can do 1t.
Ragged Outfit Last Year.
Boston was ragged, hit.or-miss
outfit last season. It was ferryins In
workers, such as place kicking
Augie Lilo, for the week end, patch
ing gaps in the line with whatever
material it could lay hands on, and
Irehearsing signals between plays OF
league games. This year conditions
are better and Boston should show
a better balanced, more cohesive
offense.
If the Redskins have any advan.
tage today it will be in its first
string line, which to date has fully
justified its rave notices. While the
backfeld picture has changed a.
rapidly as a news-reel because Of
returning servicemen, the line has
been stabilized since the early days
OF training camp. Built around such
rockies as Johnny Adams and Earl
Audet at tackle, Zip Hanna at
guard, and fortified by such vet
erans as Joe Unserer, Wayne Mill
ner, Joe Aguirre and Marvin Whited,
1t has shown an aggressiveness ana
solidarity that augurs well for q
winning season.

Dispute Charter Snog
(Continued from Page D

There was every indication that all committee work-except that stalemated by the unsettled veto procedure question-will be com- pleted by the weekend. It is ex- pected that open plenary sessions will begin next week.
 The Big Five met for 90 minutes last night in the apartment of Sec retary of State Edward R. Stet- tinius, Jr., Soviet Delegate Andrei A. Gromyko asked for the meeting to announce his governments ap- proval of a French amendment on bilateral treaties to come under the supervision of the world organiza- tion "by request" instead of "by consent" of the signatory powers. France and Russia are SignatorieS to the most important of those treaties, aimed at any possible fu- ture German aggression.
 Just before the Big Five meeting, a Soviet delegation spokesman blast ed any hope that announcement of a "break" on the veto crisis would be made here in routine way. He uOlQ the UIllleQ FTeSS.
 There is no answer to be given here to the Big Five on Russias stand on the veto issue. Our an- swer has already been given.' 1 The veto issue was not discussed at the Big Five meeting and all signs pointed to Moscow as the place from which break, if any, will come.
 Other conference accomplish mentS included:
 l. Recommendation by the com- mittee on economic and social CO., operation that the world organiza- ton create a special commission of women to study the political, civil and economic status and opportun- ity of women. This would not be specified in the charter but includ- ed in the minutes of the conference as a recommendation.
 g. Approval by a technical com- mittee of a preamble which prob ably will be rewritten before final approval to give it poetical polish.
 B. The 14-nation executive con- mittee sent two other issues back to committees for reconsideration. One issue involves Big Five request for veto over nomination of the secre- tary general. The other is Big Five proposal for specific provisions for four or five deputy secretaries general. Both were turned down in committee when first submitted.
 4. The executive committee de- cided informally that the secretary general and parliamentarian of the conference and delegates experi- enced with the old league and pre- vious conference procedure should examine the rules of this confer ence with view to outlining more clearly review procedure" The executive committee devoted most of its last two meetings to debate of this issue.

Churchill Denies
 Secret Agreements

London, June 7-(UP)-Prime Minister Churchill told commons today there were no secret agree ments made at the Yalta confeS- ence except that giving Russia two extra votes in the Security Confer ence.
 The conversations of course pro- ceeded in a very intimate manner, and am not prepared to say that everything discussed at Yalta could be made the subject of verbatim report" Churchill said.
 Laborite Morgan Price raised the question of secret agreements at Yalta. If there were none, he asked, why is it that the Russian govern ment has acted in the matter of broadening of the Polish govern ment in a way usually at variance with the declared decisions of the conference"
 Churchill replied:
 There were no secret engage ments entered into at all. except that We kept secret the addition of two members to Russia and the desire of the United States until the president could get home and make the necessary arrangements on the spot.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-06-07

Newspapers as widely divergent politically as the Times and the Laborite Daily Herald expressed dis appointment that Moscow had seen fit to disclose the occupation zone boundaries and demand that the United States quit the area assigned Russia.
 Moscow dispatches yesterday de- tailed the demarcation line between the sections of Germany to be oc- cupied by the Red Army and by the Western Allies.
 The diplomatic correspondent of the Times said it was felt in Lon- don that the announcement should have been a joint one issued per- haps by the Allied Control Council.
 The Times suggested that the an- nouncement may have been intend- ed to hasten the withdrawal of Bri- tish and American forces to the lines already agreed upon.
 The Daily Herald said that while British and American forces pene- trated into Russian zones, Soviet troops similarly had advanced some distance into the British zone of Styria.,
 Zhukov's demand for the with drawal of American forces from the Soviet area caused much surprise and disappointment" the Herald said.
 At the same time, the Telegraph and other newspapers said there was no reason to doubt that the demarcation line defined by Moscow was correct

 After this brief ceremony, McCar- thy said the Governor presumed that he was doing the right thing, or something that would hold up, but I don't agree with him.

On that basis, no vacancy exists, and I have no intention of leaving until my successor is duly appoint ed or qualified"
 It was understood that the Gov ernor had given Colonel Watson two commissions, one for two years and another for four years, to cover any eventuality should the courts uphold his appointment.

 (At Cairo, the Arab League is- sued a communique after meeting last night saying that some deci- sions had been taken on the Levant situation, but did not reveal what they were. The League was to meet again today.
 CA Palestine broadcast said the Syrian government has decided to ban French books papers, and mag azines from Syria. The broadcast, in Arabic, was heard by the FCCD
 The Syrian government revealed that it had asked the U. s. Senate, the British House of Commons, and the parliaments of other Arab states to send commissions to in- vestigate the situation in the Le- want.
 The government decided to order the arrest of all Syrian levies under the French who took part in the re- cent fighting.
 The Lebanese National Commit tee, an unofficial political group not connected with the government. asked the premier to arrange for public security control to be trans ferred from French to local forces. The committee suggested that Bri- tish authorities be contacted to this end. It charged that the French still control the Beyruth radio and were using it for propaganda purposes.
