j. ). 10 Seek Action
On Regional Defense
Issue Without Russia
Conference Delegations
Irked by Long Wait for
Moscow's Instructions
BY GOULD LINCOLN.
Star Staff Correspondent.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 18.-
After waiting four days while
Soviet Ambassador Andrei Gro
myko was seeking instructions
from Moscow, the United States
delegation and other supporters
of its regional agreements"
proposal were prepared today to
aska United Nations Conference
committee to act on the plan
without further delay.
Overwhelming approval of the
proposal, which reserves the right
of groups of nations like the Amer
lean republics to take emergency
collective defense action in case of
actual attack on one of them if the
projected world security council
fails to act, was predicted even
without Russian concurrence.
The long wait while the Russians
have sought instructions from their
home government on amendment to
the Dumbarton Oaks formula for
the United Nations organization
has aroused resentment among other
delegations. They fear that If each
question which arises involves so
much delay, the conference will
drag on interminably.
The Russians were told Wednes-
day that unless they made their
position clear In "a hours the re-
gionla agency amendment would be
taken up in committee anyway.
Big Five Meeting Called on.
Another Big Five meeting on the
matter was called oil yesterday
when Mr.. Gromyko notified Secre-
tary Of State Stettinius he was hav-
ing mechanical difficulty in COM
munications with Moscow.
The regional amendment is sup
ported by the United States, Britain,
China and France and the Latin
American republics. It's adoption
is considered essential if the United
Nations charter is to be ratified by
the United States Senate.
A bright spot in the conference is
the progress being made in commit
tees dealing with the international
court of justice, one of the principal
organs of the new organization.
They decided yesterday to create an
entirely new course - instead of
merely revamping the old World
Court.
They approved, however, the pro-
cedure for the selection of judges
which has been used in the old court.
They will be nominated by the pan
els of jurists appointed by the vari-
GUS nations to the court of arbitra-
ton at The Hague. The alternative
was to have the judges nominated
directly by the governments of the
United Nations. Less politics and
better judges were the reasons given
for selecting the old nomination
method. The actual election of
judges will be by the general as
sembly of the world organization.
The committees also have taken
over about 80 per cent of the statute
of the old World Court.
Full Commission to Meet.
Work of these committees has ad-
vanced so far that meeting of the
full commission on judicial organ
ization, in open session, has been
scheduled for tomorrow. This will be

The 27,000-ton Essex-class carrier

last March 10, planted two 500
pound armor- piercing bombs square,

only 63 miles of Japan, prepared
to launch planes, and left her an
explosion-rocked inferno.
How the Franklin's intrepid crew

her home at last under her own

Truman Sees BidouIt,
Expresses Desire to
Meet De GuuIIe
By ]. A. FOX.

President Truman today ex.
pressed a wish to meet Gen
Charles de Gaulle, head of tn,
French provisional government
and reaffirmed the late Presi-
dent Roosevelt's willingness tc
relinquish to France a part o1
the American zone of occupation
in Germany.
The announcement came in q
White House statement after
Georges Bidault, French Foreign
Minister; Henri Bonnet, French
Ambassador, and Undersecretary OF
State Grew met with Mr.. Truman
The statement said details of the
plan for letting France join in the
occupation have already been con-
veyed informally to the French
government and now are in the
process of being formalized."
Part Not Specified.
What part or how much of the
American occupation zone in Ger
many would be turned over to
France was not specified.
The exact zones to be controlled
by Russia, Britain, France and the
United States have not been Off
cially announced.
The Presidents statement said
further that he had indicated that
Frances assistance in the war
against Japan would be welcomed
and expressed full appreciation of
the part which France could and
should play in the settlement of
questions of world and European
interest.
More than a week ago, Rene
Pleven, French finance minister,
called on Mr.. Truman and said
France had about 10000 men ready
to throw in action against the Japs
and that there were thousands of
other volunteers who could be en-
ployed if equipment were provided.
Since then. the President has seen
Gen. Alphonse JUN, who was re-
ported by Minister Pleven to be here
discussing procurement problems.
Said Offer Was Refused.
In Paris last Saturday, however,
Admiral Pierre Barjot of the French
general staff charged that repeated
requests by the French government
to send troops to the Far East for
combat duty had been turned down
previously by the Allied combined
chiefs of staff.
1--WE can't understand the reason" +"
the admiral said.
Undersecretary of War Patterson
said yesterday the War Department
had no knowledge of the reported
French offer to send troops to the
Orient.
In connection with the Presidents
expression of a desire to meet Gen.
De Gaulle, it was recalled that
President Roosevelt sought to ar
range meeting with the French
leader on his trip to the Crimea
last winter but Gen. De Gaulle
declined to come to Algiers to see
him.
M. Bidault stopped off in Wash
ington today on his way from the
San Francisco Conference.
After he emerged from the meet
ing with the President, he said he
had been profoundly moved by the
interview" and expressed his deep
qualification at the Presidents ex-
pressed sentiments with regard to
France.
When President Truman an
nounced at his press conference
Tuesday he hoped to meet Prime
Minister Churchill and Premier
Stain, he said Gen. de Gaulle would
not participate in such a meeting.
