Conference CIooked By 
By CHARLES P. ARNOT

Berlin, July IT CUP) - Lieu tenant Colonel John Bedding, U. s. Army public relations officer, an- nounced today that the Big Three had decided to adhere to their or- ginal decision that there be no cov- craze of the conference by corre- spondents.
 Reddng's announcement meant that Allied correspondents officially accredited in Berlin will not be per- mitted to enter the area in which the conference is taking place nor to reveal any information obtained within the compound.
 It was not clear immediately whether Readings threat to sus- pend any correspondent for 72 hours if he attempted ito approach" the compound still stood.
 However, he said that military censorship would not halt any re- port which correspondent filed, whether true or false, and that there would be no censorship of speculative dispatches.
 Bedding said that the Army itself immediately would cease providing any news about the conference ex- cept for acting as transmitting medium for any information given it by the conferees to pass along to newsmen.
 Bedding explained that this deci- sion was based on the army's desire ito prevent the Army or its repre- sentatives from becoming involved in politics"
 It was understood that the public relations decision was based on the sharp criticism of Bedding which has been contained in the dis patches of some of the correspond ents.
 Ha made clear that correspond entg still will be allowed to use army transportation and transmission facilities.
 Most of the 125 writers in the Ber- lin press camp seemed agreed that the security and censorship regula- tions are far worse than those when the war was on in Germany.
 Correspondents complained chief " kDOuJ the 'lOCkup OI all COn1 Ter = ence officials, even State Depart ment advisors who are generally available to guide or assist Wash ington correspondents.
 The entire group of delegates of all three nations is in the Potsdam compound well beyond the reach of any inquiring reporter. The news men are threatened with suspension if they attempt to sneak into the conference area.
 Aboard the Augusta President Truman told White House corre- spondents that everything possible would be done to bring the news to the world, but solar there has been no concrete assurance that the world is going to learn anything ex- cept official communiques.
 It is understood that efforts are being made to brief" the neWSmen later, but at this moment there is absolutely no official information available at the press camp.

Inherited Tendency
 OfCancer Questioned
No Definite Proof Available Concerning Disease En- dangering Families Says Dr. GriswOId in Broadcast

bring about prompt action. AL though cancer appears to be neither contagious nor inherited, it is na- tural that some families have more than one case of this disease while others escape it entirely, because cancer is such common disease. This is especially true of families made up of older persons, as cancer is primarily disease of middle aged and older persons.
 A majority of cancers have noth- ing whatever to do with either blows or bruises, continued Dr. Gtiswold. Neither is there any definite evil dence that smoking has an effect on cancer. The frequency of can- cer of the lip among clay pipe smokers a few years ago, is thought to have resulted from the chronic irritation caused by placing the hot pipe stem in the same spot over a period of years. Tar, however, is known to cause cancer. Individuals who work with this substance should, therefore, report any signs of warts on their arms where they've been covered with tar or any other change in exposed areas of skin.
 Surgery, x-rays, and radium are the only effective methods of treat ing cancer. The type of cancer in- f1uences the doctors decisions as to which type treatment will be given. Connecticut is well provided with readily available facilities, but it remains each individuals responsi- bility to consult a physician about suspicious symptoms promptly, so that treatment can begin at an early stage when there is a reason- able chance of cure.

Move Labeled Impractical
BY RAYMOND LAIR United Press Staff Corresponden

Washington. July IT. CUP) A Republican proposal to abolish com pulsory military service by interna- tional agreement was viewed as "idealistic" and impractical today by advocates of universal training in the United States.
 The proposal came from House Re- publican leader Joseph w. Martin, Jr., of Massachusetts He announced he was introducing a resolution to- day calling on the administration to make an immediate attempt to < reach an international agreement outlawing compulsory military serv- ice in all countries.
 Acting chairman R. Ewing Thom- ason. D., Tex, of the House military tSsairs committee expressed doubt T1et the resolution would be ap- proved by any committee in con- gress under present world condi- tions."
 Its fine ideal toward which to work, but I don't see any chance of it in the immediate future," he said. T don't believe the millennium has arrived.'
 Thomson was one of Is members of the special House postwar mili- tary policy committee who signed a report two weeks ago urging con- gress to adopt the broad policy of universal peacetime training. The military affairs committee expects to begin consideration of bills based sn the recommendation next fall.
 Chairman Clifton A. Woodrum, D., Va, of the special committee, said Martins proposal was a won derful. idealistic contemplation" but that all American diplomatic and military leaders believed that our national security demands a highly trained citizen reserved militia"
 However, Rep. Bernard w. Rear ney, R., N. Y., another member of the special committee, praised Mar tins statement. He said he would like 10 see the current big three conference attempt to work out such an agreement.
 Kearney signed the committees mapority report but said he did not favor the arnly's plan for contin- uous year of military training for all able bodied men. Thomson, too, emphasized that he was not com mitted to specific plan.
 Col. John T. Taylor, legislative representative of the American Le- zion, which has long advocated uni versal training, said he believed Martins proposal was impractical

Teen-Ase Tycoons
BY HOWARD WHITMAN

EREEPoRT, L. l., town of $4,000, is a
l. miniature America, because it has people
of almost every foreign descent, every faith
Its young people are miniature Americans.
Through a rapidly burgeoning organization
known as Junior Achievement, this youth
population is being trained in miniature
capitalism.
The experiment is a new thread in our
national fabric
Junior Achievement itself is not new. In
name it has existed for 10 years: a rather
spotty organization of handicraft clubs
throughout the country, each set up along
business lines with miniature board of direc-
tors, stock certificates, dividend meetings and
all the other regular procedure
All this was regarded as cute" Feature
writer's made good deal of the fact that ''the
directors of Emjay Products Company were
called to order by the Chairman of the Board,
Johnny Jones - age 16 - and a dividend of
five per cent was declared on $36 worth of
capital stock
Today, Junior Achievement is girding itself
for nationwide sweep that may soon make
it as important as the Boy Scouts of America.

LONDON NEWSPAPER THANKS TANKS FOR BA5T0GNE BATTLE
II Was a Bigger Battle Than We Knew
 About
(By Associated Press)

The London Daily Express today blished under it's headline, Thanks to the Tanks" a dispatch from one of it's Western Front cor declaring that the Ger mans might have captured Ant werp and caught the British Sec ond Army in fatal trap if the Americans had not held Bastogne.
 The dispatches by Allen Moor head said, Everything for one moment depended on the Ameri- cans holding Bastogne. Had they lost it, there was reasonable chance for the Germans to sweep on to the coast, taking Antwerp, which meant an encirclement of British Armies. There would have been no escape route by sea this time.
 General Bradley and his Ameri- cans hung on somehow. Now that full reports are coming in, they are saying in British headquarters that Bastogne compares in import ance with Fl Elamain in it's effect upon the war. It was a bigger battle than we knew about, per- haps one of the greatest American efforts of the war"

LAST NAzIS IN BUDAPEST
 ARE TRAPPED
Squeezed Into Narrow Strip of Pest But
 Two Miles Long

SCOW, Jan. 12. = The last stark chapter in the siege of Buda- pest is now being written in nar- row strip of Pest on the east bank of the Danube with the Nazis squeezed into an area approximately two miles long and one mile wide.
 Savage German attacks on the Soviet arc west of the Danube to relieve the desperately struggling Nazi garrison failed again.
 Marshal Tolbukhin is reported to have strengthened his position and there appeared little likelihood Of any German breakthrough.
 In 10 days of fighting to relieve Budapest the Germans sacrificed 10000 men killed, and approximately $50 tanks. This is on the basis of Russian reports, official and unof- iicial.
 Russian reports produced impress sions that the German garrison was on the verge of collapse. These re- ports stirred hopes in the Budapest public that the city, under direct assault since December 29, be fully in the Red Armys possession in a day or two

 When the Russian of ffensiv C ground to a stop beyond Baranow this summer, the Russians declared they were within eighty miles of German Silesia, second only to the Ruhr as a German arsenal.
