.450 B-Es Shower
High Explosives on
0saka's S Industries
Attack Is Departure
From Fire Assaults
Of Recent Weeks
BY the Associated Press.

GUAM, June TN a marked
departure from recent fire raids,
$50 American Super Fortresses
attacked war industries and the
arsenal in Osaka, the Orient's
leading industrial city, with high
explosives and incendiaries today
in their 10th large-scale raid on
Japan within a month.
The B-29s hit this morning as
Tokyo radio admitted 100000 more
japanese have been driven from
their homes by American air attacks
and would be moved to farms to
help raise Japan's meager food
supply.
The bombers struck for three
hours through heavy overcast. Re-
suits were not observed. But
joint japanese Army-Navy an
nouncement admitted fires were
started in the northern and north
eastern industrial sections. The
enemy said flames were steadily
being brought under control"
Tokyo did not disclose the effect
Of high explosives aimed at the con-
crete and steel buildings Of the
huge Osaka arsenal where much of
Japan's medium artillery and small
arms are produced.
But enemy broadcasters did COM
plain that this tactic sent civilian
air defense units racing to AFRAID
shelters while other B-29s showered
incendiaries ON the factory district.
The blazes they started, Tokyo said,
got 4 good start before the fire
fighters got out Of their bomb
shelters.
Almost simultaneously with the
Super Fort blow, Japanese dis
patches said, 40 Army and Navy
fighters from Okinawa swept over
Kyushu Island suicide plane bases.

Negotiations on Veto
Entirely in Hands Of
Sta|in and Hopkins
Porley Drops Discussions;
Committee Completes
Preamble of Charter
BY GOULD LINCOLN.

SAN FRANCISCO, June T.
The American delegation to the
United Nations Conference today
looked to President Truman for
guidance on the troublesome
discussion veto" issue.
Inside conference sources asserted
that negotiations over this issue,
involving Interpretation of the
Yalta voting formula for the secur-
ity council of the proposed United
Nations organization. have ceased
in San Francisco and are being
conducted exclusively in Moscow,
through Harry Hopkins, represent
ing President Truman, and Premier
Stain.
The Soviet delegation is reported
expecting no word from Moscow to
change its insistence that the Yalta
formula give each of the Big Five
powers the right to veto discussion
of an international dispute in the
council.
Russia Alone in View.
The Russian view is fatty opposed
to that of the American delegation
which is shared by Britain, France
and China. These four contend that
no power could have a veto vote
until after dispute had been dis
cussed.
If no agreement can be reached
between Russia and the United
States on this issue, it will be up
to President Truman to tell the
American delegation what course
should be followed.
Three courses are open in the
event Of no agreement, it was
said. They are:
l. To write into the world organi-
zation charter the American inter-
probation of the Yalta voting for
mula, which is backed by the British
French and Chinese. This can be
accomplished readily. A great ma
jority Of the nations represented in
the conference would vote for it
indeed the problem is to stop them
from doing it.
2. To adopt a. committee report
which will be attached to the record
giving the American Interpretation
3. Merely to 60 ahead and adopt
the charter with the Yalta voting
formula and leave all interpreta-
tions out of the charter and the
record.
Third Course Difficult.
The third course would be ex-
ceedingly difficult, it was explained,
without loss of American prestige.
It would put this country in the
position Of piping down" on a mat
ter in which it has taken definite
position-a position in which it
firmly believes-in order not to hurt
Russia's feelings.
Despite the apparent impasse,
conference leaders are not ruling
out the possibility that the Soviet

Western AI|iesCaused
German Occupation
Middle, Russian Says
Lack Of Agreement on
French Zone Holds Up
Further Council Meetings
By the Associated Press.

LONDON, June 7.-Further
meetings of the Allied Control
Council for Germany were being
held Up today by a lack of agree
ment on the French zone of oc-
cupation, and Moscow COM
mentator blamed the Western
Allies for the "muddle" in getting
administrative machinery in op-
Grafton.
A responsible informant close to
the British Foreign Office said there
had been no definition as yet of the
zone which will be under French
control and that failure to reach
such an agreement was the reason
why the British and American zones
of occupation had not been defined
The French zone will have to be
subtracted from their territory.
Correspondents representing the
combined press who covered the
meeting of the Control Council
Tuesday said the Russians we're I'M
willing to hold further meetings,
which are necessary before the
council can begin operating, until
the Americans and British have
withdrawn from the Russian zone
The Americans and British, on
the other hand, wished to know
their exact zones before beginning
troop movements.
Declines Comment on Map.
A Foreign Of1ice spokesman re-
fused to comment on the accuracy
of map published in Moscow yes
terday purporting to outline the
Russian zone, on the grounds that
no copy of the map had been re-
ceived by the government here.
The London Times said the Mos
cow announcement had been re-
ceived with some surprise"
Though 1t is not questioned that
the Russian zone is substantially
as shown, it is felt that the state
ment should have been a joint one
and that it would have come more
fttingly from the Control Council
in Berlin"
The map showed that the Russians
will occupy about half of Germany
with the Russian boundary at one
point reaching within go miles of
Gen. Eisenhower's headquarters at
Frankfort on -the-Main. The line
would be $50 miles west of the Elbe
in Southern Germany.
A statement from supreme head
quarters in Paris today said no an
nouncement on zones of occupation
would come from there The an
nouncement will be made in Wash
ington and London, it was said.
Zones Still Not Marked.
Quoting an editorial reference in
the London Times to the Berlin
ceremony putting an end to the
muddle," commentator in Izvestia,
Soviet government newspaper in
Moscow. said: 1T may be that by
'muddle' the paper has in view that
Anglo-American troops occupy the
zone which should be occupied by
Soviet troops"
THE zones of the English, Ameri-
can and French occupation are still
not divided, and the European Ad-
visory Commission which is sitting
in London could have hastened the
liquidation of such 'muddle.'" the
paper added.
Drawing a parallel between this
''muddle' and other difficulties
among the Allies, the paper con-
tinued:
THE slowness in decisions and,
even more, the irresoluteness in con-
ducting decisions already adopted

Breton Woods Pact
Approved by House
By 345-to-1S Vote
Senate May Postpone
Action Until After
Tokine Summer Recess
BY J. A. O'LEARY.

The House today overwhelm-
ingly passed the Breton Woods
agreement, by which A nations
plan to cooperate in stabilizing
currencies and promoting post
war reconstruction. The vote
was 345 to 18.
1t was the second time in month
the House sustained a major seq
ment of the administration pro-
gram for world cooperation. The
first occasion was its approval of
deeper tariff cuts in future recipro-
cal trade agreements.
The Breton Woods bill now moves
to the Senate, which also still is
considering the new trade agreement
measure. An extension Of the Trade
Agreement Act, which expires June
IL, is expected to pass in some form
soon. but the Senate may let Bret
ton Woods 60 over until August or
September after 4 contemplated
summer recess.
Those voting against the proposal
were:
Representatives Buffet Of Ne
braska, Clevenger Of Ohio, Ellis of
West Virginia, Gwynne of Iowa,
Jones of Ohio, Knutson of Mime
sofa, Lemke of North Dakota,
Mason of Illinois, O'Hara of Mime
sofa, Reed of New York, Rich of
Pennsylvania, Riley Of Oklahoma,
Robson of Kentucky, Schwabe of
Missouri, Schwabe of Oklahoma
Scrivener of Kansas, Smith of Ohio
and Sumner of Illinois.
Sterilization Fund Upheld.
House opponents of Breton Woods
made their last futile attempt to
change the plan ON motion to re-
commit, with instructions to strike
out the currency stabilization fund.
When this failed, 325 to 20, the roll
was called on final passage.
Drawn up at conference in
Breton Woods, N. H., last summer,
the agreement establishes an in
ternational bank and an interna-
tional currency stabilization fund.
The bank would have a capital
of $9,100, 900, 900, toward which the
United States would subscribe s3,-
ITS 900 900.
The currency stabilization fund
would total $8,800,000 of gold
and local currency placed in pool
by the agreement countries, of
which the United States share
would be $2,750,0000
Aimed at Economic Wars.
The plan is an effort to prevent
economic warfare, encourage inter-
national investment in productive
enterprise and provide loans for re-
construction.
While the monetary agreement is
awaiting hearings by the Senate
Banking Committee, the Senate
Finance Committee will meet to-
morrow morning to act on the re-
ciprocal trade bill, with indications
that foes of further tariff reduction
have slender majority to limit
the bill to a straight extension OF
the present trade agreement law
The Senate fight over the trade
agreement program is expected tc
be more intense than will develop
against Breton Woods.

ment-an issue many believed set
tied at Yalta.
There were no secret engage.
ments entered into at all" except
the agreement to give Russia three
votes at San Francisco, Mr.. Church.
ill assured Parliament. He then
added significantly:
THE conversations, of course, pro-
ceeded in a very intimate manner
and am not prepared to say that
everything discussed at Yalta could
be made the subject of a verbatim
report"
Background of Anxiety.
Mr.. Churchills statement was
made against a background of
anxiety here that President Roose-
velt, Premier Stain and Mr.
Churchill had left their last con-
ference in the Crimea with varying
interpretations of decisions reached
there. Sections of the British press
and critics of Mr.. Churchill's for
eign policy have pointed speciflcal-
ly to the deadlock over the Polish
issue and to the differences arising
at the San Francisco Conference.
Moscow has insisted repeatedly
that Russia was abiding by the
Yalta decisions both as to broaden
ing the Polish government at War
saw and on every stand taken at
San Francisco
Mr.. Churchill sidestepped at
tempts in Comomns today to draw
him into debate over the confer
ences at Yalta and Teheran. He de-
clared he had nothing to add to
the official statements which have
already been made"
Laborites persisted that he was
attempting to avade the issue of
whether secret agreements were
reached at the meetings
Morgan Price, Laborite, asked
why is it that the Russian govern
ment has acted in the matter of
broadening of the Polish govern
ment in a way totally at variance
with the declared decisions of the
conference" if there were no undis-
closed conditions to the Yalta deci-
sion?
One Secret Kept, He Says.
Mr.. Churchill replied:
There were no secret agreements
entered into at all, except that We
kept secret the addition of two
members to Russia (Ukranian ano
White Russian votes in the security
conference) and the desire of the
United States Ito keep the matter
secret until the President could. get
home and make the necessary ar.
rangements on the spot. Otherwise
there were no secret engagements.
The Prime Minister refused tt
place himself on record that 'it il
absolutely necessary that there
should never be on any occasion q
secret clause in some arrangement
provided that it is reported to a wide
cabinet"
"It might very often be necessary
to do so and you would hamper very
much the whole proceedings if M
