Annals Eyes

THE roses leave their trellis Irvine
And December rides the skies,
But, where death pulls the brown leaf line
I sing of Annals eyes.
Some twenty frosts they have scaled
Of rude wind wailing cries,
Still never a soaring blight has paled
The glow in Annals eyes.
Oh here is heavens purest gray
In my long anxious prize;
And here time has embalmed the May
In Annals bewitching eyes.

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Berlin, Aug. 2 = (UP) = Ad- Journment of the Big Three Con- ference closed one of the strangest sideshows in Journalistic history.
 It was sorry affair for the more than 100 correspondents who ate tempted futilely to cover" the his- toric session. One veteran corre- spondent summed it up:
 Press Takes Beating
 The world press took helluva beating at Potsdaml"
 of the Big Three meeting probably was without parallel in the peace time reporting of world events. Correspondents wondered whether 1t foreshadowed a future policy of cloaking all high-level international deliberations in security with rifles and bayonets to enforce it.
 There was nothing at the confer cnce remotely resembling freedom of the press. The complete hush hush policy ruled out even the war time practice of permitting core spondentS to contact informed and reliable news sources.
 For the past two and half weeks, correspondents have been fed rela- lively unimportant, sometimes even inaccurate, morsels of news. Most of them were even Imaginable in the light of the seriousness of the dis cussions taking place.
 The crushing blow came during the final stages of the conference when the press was informed that its re- quest to permit reporters to witness the final session had been denied.
 Instead, the conferees permitted one eyewitness to attend in the role of observers, but some of the in formation he brought back was cut by Army censors.
 One veteran correspondent des- cribed the incident as another ex- ample of "channeling news" through official handouts and off, cial Spokesmen. This policy has been steadily increasing throughout the war. The only semi official in- formation during the entire Big Three meeting came from such handouts or spokesmen, while the Big Three and all those close to them were tightly enclosed in the PotSdam compound

Senators Off Until Oct. 8
By FREDERICK c. OTHMAN

By FREDERICK c. OTHMAN United Press Staff Correspondent
 Washington, Aug. 2-CUP)-The time has come to kiss the boys goodbye; the Senators have passed their last law until the cool of autumn, and I am deSolate.
 Where but in the U. s. Senate would Theodore G. Bilbo of Missis- sippi spend four days explaining why he did not intend to filibuster against the Fair Employment Prac- tice Committee?
 Who but Senators would call in for investigation New Yorks lead- ing specialist in he sale of inlaid mother f-pearl toilet seats?
 Labors Laid Aside
 You get the idea. It's a sad day for Othman The boys have cleaned of their desks, except for the silver sprinkler bottles of sand for blot ting purposes, and have begun two months and seven days of rest from their labors.
 They won't get back until Oct. 8 and have got to go to work. Un- til yesterday, when the Senators knocked of for the rest of the summer, could drop up to their joint any old afternoon and wat in .air-conditioned comfort for a story to drop in my lap. Every day something verging on the incredible happened, usually about p. m., and what more could an efficient reporter ask? All right, a lazy reporter.
 There was Jake Goldberg, who testified with tears in his eyes be- fore the War Investigating con- mittee that he did not cheat the government when he auctioned off some federal plumbing supplies. Including toilet seats?" Inquired Sen. James Mead of New York.
 "Oh mo- replied Jake. Mother of Pearl seats were kind of what you might say hobby of mine. I dealt them privately"
 Another witness before another committee turned out to be R. s. Reynolds, who made his fortune putting foil around cigarets, and who displayed as one of his post war projects golden -colored even- ing gown, woven of solid aluminium thread. If lady dribbled gravy on her skirt, he said, she could turn the hose on it.
 It was a wonderful place, the Sen- ate. Sen. Homer Ferguson of Mich. announced that the union suit situ- ation was so critical in Detroit his embittered masculine constituents were forced to buy ladies' panties. Tea rose colored. Trimmed in lace.
 For their own use," the senator 9zsented.
 Sen. Kenneth Wherry of Neb., 'in- Sestigated the venetian blind crisis. A dozen loud-voiced ladies and Ely Culbertson, the bridge teacher, de- nounced the Foreign Affairs Con- mittee and the San Francisco peace charter. One of the ladies sneered so 'feelingly at Sen. Tom Connally of Tex, that two cops eased her out.
 Burlesque Condemned
 The man Bilbo, who functions as chairman of the district committee and hence as the nearest thing the capital has to a mayor, campaigned to close the Gayety Burlesque The- ater. He said the nexkid ladies weren't nice. He also considered erecting the worlds greatest athletic ssadium, with a hydraulic roof.

Hush-Hush Potsdam
 Plan Hit By Scribes

business without explanation. Army officers, who ran the Berlin press camp, denied that they were oper- ating political censorship.
 But correspondents found it hard to discover what military security was involved in such censorship di- does as prohibiting Prime Minister Winston Churchill to be quoted di- rectly in stories of his tour of the Reich Chancellery, or in preventing any hint of Generalissimo Stalin's slight indisposition early this week. Stalin's illness was finally recog- nized, but only after correspondents had misinformed their readers - on the basis of incorrect assump- tions by an Army spokesman that the Big Three had continued it's meetings last Monday.

Many Idle In Italy
BY ANN SPRINGER

Rome, July 10- (UP) - Premier Ferrucio Parri said today that about half of the workers in the great in- dustrial network of northern Italy are working only two to three hours day or not at all.
 The main problem to block a fur ther increase in the war-torn na- tion's economic slump and the at tending imitation.
 In the industrial north, Parri said, the situation is really dangerously serious" He said a new emergency agreement had been reached in Milan among employers and work CTS. It extended an arrangement whereby the industrialists pay the workers 75 per cent of their normal salary even when they are not working.
 I sat with Parri, his wife and their 19-year-old son George in their meagerly furnished apartment and discussed with him the tasks he faces in striving to haul Italy out of its economic morass.
 The white haired professor-he still prefers that title to Premier came wearily home from the task of state. AS he talked in mixed French and Italian about Italys problems, he grew more and more animated.
 Parri said Italy is not now in any position to do anything about the war in the Pacific.
 First, he said, the Italians must wrestle with their economic prob lens.
 The agreement to pay the workers even when they don't work was scheduled to end this month, but it has been extended to Sept. 30. This is only mild emergency measure, Parri admitted.
 Tn order to relieve the situation Italy must have coal" he said.
 This is 1taly's greatest need, and next to that is loans and then food" he said.
 He said he hoped for an extension of American lend-lease, but that Italy would need loans even above that if the country is to prevent printing press aggravation of the tenuous inflaticn.
 He described recent disturbances in southern Italy as localized out bursts, normal in any country where want and misery prevail.

rier-based and B-29 team strike on Tokyo, the Japanese lost 65e planes and 36 ships.
 35th Straight Day
 The pre-dawn superfortress strike this morning ushered in the 35th straight day of the pre-invasion bombardment that already has laid waste huge areas of 35 Japanese cities. More than 130 square miles of Japanese industrial area were reported officially to have been burned out in 31 cities, with photo- graphic data on four of todays tar- gets still lacking.
 Today's five-way blow was the fifth major attack delivered by the Marianas-baSed B-29's this month.
 The target cities were Sendai. l93 miles north of Tokyo and the deepest penetration yet made by the superfortresses; Gifu, 1s miles northwest of Nagoya; Sakia, a suburb of Osaka; Yokkaichi, near Nagoya, and Wakayama, 30 miles south of Osaka.
 Radio Tokyo said Kochi, on the southern coast of Shikoku island, also was bombed, but there was no confirmation of that report from the Fist bomber command head quarters.
