 CONCLUSION
Last of Big Issues Between Great, Small Powers
 Being Taken Up
By John M. Hightower Associated Press Diplomatic News Editor)


 SAN FRANCISCO, June 2O-Con- ference leaders are striving to re- sole the last of the issues between the great and small powers today so that President Truman can keep his date to close this historic United Ma tions meeting next Saturday.
 With the President already on the West Coast at Olympia, Wash, and with time growing short to prepare for the projected Big Three meeting at Berlin next month, American delegates especially were hopeful that it would not De necessary to delay the closing session until early next week But much depends on the remain Iissue--over the extent of discussion to be allowed a United Nations Gen. eral Assembly. It was supposed to have been settled yesterday and officials said there seemed no ques- ton the timetable would be thrown off if it was not settled finally to- day.
 Russia is asking stricter limi- tation of assembly debates than Australia, as leader of a group of small nations, considers acceptable. Several efforts at a compromise have failed to produce agreement.
 Other conference work is speeding toward conclusion. Principles for the projected security league of the wSrld organization were voted last night By conference commission. This commission also agreed unani- mously in a seaparte declaration that the Franco government of Spain, because of Axis support in coming to power, should never be admitted to membership.
 The United States, which like many of the other nations, main tains diplomatic relations with Gen eralissimo Francisco Franco, sup ported the declaration after it was oA'oiiSCu Uy McAICO dllu otlOilSiy backed up by France.
 Three other commission meetings, the largest number yet for single day, were called for today to approve other charter sections providing for the Big Power veto voting formula in security council, for measures by which the council could seek to enforce peace and for system of international trusteeships for terri tories, such as League of Nations mandates and various Pacific Is- lands, which may later be placed under it.

The w ashington Merry -Go Round
By DREW PEARSON It. Col Robert s. Allen now on active service with the Army)

WASHINGTON = Harry Truman has now been President of the United States for a little over, two months--two of the most historic months in the Nations history These two months are sufficient to get a fairly accurate gauge of how the new President is going to func- tion for the rest of his term.
 On the surface there is a new atmosphere in the White House when you walk into it these days If, for instance, you drop in on White House Secretary Charlie Ross, he is cordial, courteous, but brief. There is no invitation or in- clination to sit down and gossip This businesslike atmosphere pre- vails throughout the entire White House staff.
 If you go on in to see Ross's boss, you get in on time. There are few waits. And the little man on the other side of the big broad shiny desk listens intently. He wants to hear what his visitors have to say These are two definite innovations
 Gone are the days when big shots calling on Roosevelt would fret and fume during an hours wait, then after spending half an hour with him, go out and brag that they had spent an hour and half "at the White House" With Truman you are allotted a certain number of minutes, and he holds to that schedule.
 Moreover, you can make the most of your allotted time. Truman Is anxious to listen. Roosevelt on the other hand, did most of the talking himself. Visitors had to interrupt forcefully to put across their ideas
