TRUMAN ASKS NEXT
MEETING FOR U. S.

ABOARD USS AUGUSTA WITH
PRESIDENT TRUMAN, Aug. A.
U.H-President Truman hopes the
next Big Three conference can be
held at Washington.
1t was disclosed today that Mr..
Truman had proposed the Ameri-
can capital for the next meeting
during the Potsdam conference, al
though the time for another meet
ing has not even discussed yet.
Agreement on Washington pre-
sumably would depend on Russian
Premier Josef Stain, who has been
unwilling to travel far from Mos
COW to previous conferences. When
Mr.. Truman made the proposal,
Stain was said to have indicated
tentative assent by commenting,
God willing"
OF the three previous confer
ences, the one at Yalta was held
on Russian soil and those at Teh-
ran and Potsdam were relatively
close to the Soviet Union.
Despite previous lack of expe-
rience in Foreign affairs, Mr.. Tru-
man has shown no reluctance to
assume leadership in Big Three
plans.
At the Potsdam conference, he
submitted written set of propos-
ais for discussion. His list, most
of which was included in the final
communicate, included proposals
for council of foreign ministers,
political and economic terms for
Germany, Italian admission 10 the
United Nations and revised Allied
control procedure for Romania.
