 fort to simplify the job of making peace" responsible source said If we cannot get any further than this, the American view is that the whole thing might as well be settled in full dress peace conference like that after the last war"
 It was on this premise that Byrnes was reported to have told Molotov that the U. s. was ready to turn the problems of the coun- ell back to the heads of state.
 Diplomatic observers saw @ pos- sibility that President Truman, Prime Minister Attlee and Premier Staln would meet within two months to try to break the deadlock.
 The Foreign Ministers of the United States. Russia, Britain, France and China were scheduled to meet again tonight, probably to approve an official summary and the final communique at their three-week conference.
 Summary
 The 60-page summary will be locked away in the secret files of participating governments, but the final communique of 10 to IS pages may be released late tonight.
 Reliable sources believed the com- munique would disclose several de- cisions of which the public has had no inkling to date. There still was no indication, however, that the five foreign ministers had been able to agree on Balkan peace trea- ties and European waterways, two of the main subjects under discus sion.
 It was these deadlocks that led to reports a new big three meeting might be called. The diplomatic correspondent of the Daily Express said that Whitehall also was con- sidering the possibility French Pro- visional President Gen. Charles De- Gaulle and Chinese Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek would be invited.
 Vital Discussion
 Tt is thought that such a top- level talk may be the only way to get rid of disagreement and give the resumed meeting of foreign ministers in December a fair chance of success" the Express said.
 A spokesman for the British For eign Office said there was no off, cial basis for speculation over a new Big Three meeting, however.
 Some diplomatic sources also pre- dicted that the Dominions and pos- sibly Belgium, Holland and Yugo- slavia will be represented at the next meeting of the Foreign Min iSters' Council.
 The Foreign Ministers of the Big Five met last night until a. m. and emerged weary but apparently cheerful. The session was believed devoted to the wording of the final communique and official summary. Russian delegates particularly have been meticulous over the wording of official documents.

 Under Dureas
 The Republicans quoted HartSorS as saying that he made the loan tt Elliott only because This father (tht late president) practically askec me to-" They said Hartford did mol press for Q larger settlement be- cause he did not want to eTnbarass the president.
 Clearly, as the case now rests the federal treasury stands to lose the tax on $IS6, ,000," the Republic ans said. That must not be per- mitted. If Hartford is entitled to a deduction of $l96,000 on his gross income, positive steps should be taken to collect the tax on $lo6, ,00C from Elliott and his former wife (Ars. Ruth G. Roosevelt.")
 The Republicans made their de- nand in Q minority report to con- gress on the House Ways and Means Committees ivestigation of the loan transaction. Their views were made public shortly before Democratic members filed their majority report. The Democrats voted to report that they did not feel justified" in chal- lenging the treaSury'S action in ale lowing Hartford 6 4l96,o0o deduc- ton:
 Report
 The Republicans report asserted that:
 l. The late president mot only played an important part in effect ing the payment of $200. 900 to his son by MT. Hartford but he went further and initiated the sstee- ment" for $4,000 by former Secre- tary of Commerce Jesse Jones.
 2. At the time the loan was made, a bill was pending before the House Ways and Means Committee to im- pose a special tax on chain stores. According to its sponsor. Rep. Wright Patman, D., Tex, this bill would have levied an annual tax of $6,625, ,00O on Hartford's concern -the A. & P. co.
 If the face of vigorous opposition from the administration" the Re- publicans said, "the bill died in committee"
 3. At the time of the settlement of the debt, Hartford was given to understand tha he 2,O00 shares of Texas state network stick that Elli- ott had put up as collateral for his loan were worthless"
 Hartford turned over the shares to Jones when he received the $4,OOO. Elliott himself testified that the 1914 value of the stock was $l0O a share.
 One of the Republican members of the committee, Rep. Thomas A. Jenkins of Ohio, issued his own statement in which he quoted Hart ford as saying he made the loan because he didn't want to incur the enmity" of the late chief execu- tive.
 Jenkins asked that his statement be placed in the congressional re- cord.

 He said the nation was beginning the task of reconversion with many thiKgs in It's favor. There is huge demand for housing, automobiles, washing machines and al of he so- called consumer durable goods. And the people have the cash for these things
 Savings
 Snyder said cash, bank deposits and government bonds in the hands of individuals are estimated at more than el40,O0O, GOO, 900, or three times the highest pre-war figure. Business also needs millions in new plants and Improvements and, in the main, has the necessary funds for these projects, he added.
 Despite the withdrawal of the government from the market, Sny- der said, inflationary pressures still persist in certain parts of the econ- omy.
 ITO release all controls might easily lead to . repetition of the 1010-20 boom and collapse" he de- clared. "Our objective, for the long, CT run, is a steady advance in pro- ductlon and employment"
 Snyder also called on congress to support the president in his rec ommendation for an increase in the present legal minimum wage of 40 cents an hour, which he said was liar too low to buy a decent stand ard of living"
 8 Million JObless Snyder repeated his prediction of 8,000,000 jobless by spring, but said two factories modify the task of re- deployment:
 l. Not every one released from a wa: plant or from the armed forces will be job-hunter. 2. The work week is being reduced and more jobs are being created.
 Snyder said 1t was too early to make Q definite report on recon- version. The first 47 days since Jap- an quit have been devoted to clear ing the decks.
 The final test of reconversion, Snyder said, will be jobs-how rap- idly the economy ahSorbs released war workers and returned veterans.

 Tn addition to recommending rec tention of enemy islands in the Pa- ciflc, the subcommittee said that Allied islands which our forces found necessary to occupy should be studied jointly to determine to what extent mutual interests call for maintenance of bases by lease or by cession.
 Further Demands
 The subcommittee also said that:
 ]. Surplus war stocks in foreign countries should be sold immediate ly or exchanged for tangible values.
 2. The worldwide network of airways and air facilities established during the war should be conserved and private lines encouraged to op- crate them.
 3. China offers the largest and most fruitful single field in the world for American foreign trade and would welcome military and economic assistance.
 {. War Department appropria- tions should be reduced by at least $27 500, 900, 900, but care should be taken to assure continuing scientific research and development in such fields as jet propulsion, radar, rock cts and atomic power.

 Thomas, adressing @ meeting oi i50 JAW regional representatives yesterday in Chicago, said:
 "The automotive industry and not the union is on strike. The cutting of wages and provoking of griev- anceS is aimed at getting the union to strike at this time"
 S0% Raise
 Thomas, who accused auto makers of fomenting labor trouble because they were not ready for reconver- sion, said that If his unions de- mand for a 30 per cent industry wide wage increase not justified now, "then no increase anywhere, aiy time, was justified"
 Tn Washington Secretary of Labor Lewis B. Schwellenbach said through 8 spokesman that he hoped the strike of 30000 workers in three big refining areas would be settled today.
