WASHINGTON, March 21.- There's new day dawning in United States foreign relations. It hasn't come all at once, and therell be clouds in the sky before noon but it's new day nonetheless.
 It's hard to put word to it. Un- ity comes close, but it's more than that.
 When Sen. Arthur H. Vandenberg accepted the Presidents invitation to be one of the delegates to the San Francisco conference Of the United Nations, one of the really great hurdles was cleared.
 Republicans had had their fingers crossed for days. If Vandenbere refused the appointment, all would be confusion again, and the Repub- lican party and the Senate again would be split wide open on the means of obtaining world peace.
 Vandenberg' resitancy was un- derstandable. His recent speeches left no doubt that he had removed from himself and his followers any taint of isolationism. But for the good of his party and his personal integrity, he. wanted it understood that he wasn't going to San Fran cisco as a rubber stamp for the ad- ministration.

The w ashingt ion Merry Y-Go Round
By DREW PEARSON (Lt. Col Robert s. Allen now on active service with the Army.

WASHINGTON = Great Britain's newest member on the Anglo-Am- erican combined chiefs of staff Field Marshal Sir Henry Maitland Wilson, had a private chat with Washington friends recently in which he gava the tip-off to Rus sia's interest in the war against Japan.
 Wilson told lhis friends about the backstage talks which American British and Russian staff officers had at Yalta while Churchill Roosevelt and Stalin were talking of political matters, and remarked that the Russians had not under stood the importance of the cam paign in Burma until it had been discussed at Yalta. He said that the Russians were never aware that tke Japanese had planned to in- wade India through Burma and that it was necessary to free Burma to keep China in the war as a communications and supply link.
 Actually, this was the first con- firmation by any high Allied of ficer that Pacific strategy had been discussed at Yalta. Previously Roosevelt, Byrnes and Churchill all said the subject was not dis cussed.
 
 Field Marshal Wilson made sev- eral other significant points. He admitted among other things that the campaign in Italy had been one big headache after another However, Wilson pointed out that the invasion of Italy had cleared the Nazis out of the Mediterranean, had also gone a long way to build up United Nations morale more than a year before the liberation of France.

Government Seeks
Part in Rate Hearing

The Federal Government, through
the Procurement Division of the
Treasury and the Federal Works
Agency, yesterday asked the Public
Utilities Commission for the right
to intervene in the 1945 rate hear
ings of the Potomac Electric Power
Co.
Although the annual hearings,
under the sliding scale arrangement
for the adjustment of rates, have
been called for 10 am. Monday at
the District Building, the PUG has
announced that the hearing will be
adjourned Immediately because the
1914 decision of the commission is
still in litigation.
The Government asked to inter-
vene whenever the hearings are held
because it is the largest consumer
of electricity in the District, paying
S5,500,000 a year for power. The
Government said that when 1945
rates are determined they should
be retroactive to March / of this
year.
The commission is unable to hold
hearings because under the sliding
scale any adjustment in 1945 rates
would depend on 1914 revenues
which cannot be computed until the
1914 decision is settled by the courts
The commission, which last year
ordered a reduction of s1,038,oO ir
rates, was upheld by District Court
but the company has appealed.
The petitions were signed by Cliff
ton E. Mack, director of procure
ment, and Alan Johnstone, general
counsel OF the Federal Works
Agency.
