ton bore Senate approval today
after a two-hour fight.

Senator LANCER, Republican, of

Jus, member of wealthy family,
because of his associations with
high finance and big business" But
ne announced he wouldn't vote
against him. because the United

placed into operation" and because
the appointment, he said. would not
amount to more than a recognition
OF the nominees good citizenship.
Senator Bilbo, Democrat, of Miss

per cent of the people of "the SOW

BACK him in opposing Mrs. Roose-

Big Three Believed

they were before the meeting

on9the sixth day OF the Big Three
Foreign Ministers meeting and the
66ths1 birthday of Premier Stain,
this appeared to be the situation on
the basis of reports from informed
foreign quarters: *, a. Il
There is strong feeling that
some results will come from the
meeting and these results may be
better than originally expected, but
every difference among the three
is not likely to be settled at this
meeting.
Secretary of State Byrnes and
British Foreign Secretary Ernest
Bevin are believed to be anxious
not to raise the hopes and expec-
tations of the American and British
people too much.
The Foreign Ministers of the Big
Three have no desire or intention
OF dominating the United Nations
Organization or of bypassing it.
However, Big Three collaboration
was applauded during the war and
considerable good can be accom-
plished through such collaboration
If the United Nations Organization
was expected to handle all matters
there would be no need for the ma
lions TO have Ambassadors and For
eign Ministers.
Four Mediums for Settlement.
Four mediums exist for trying to
settle, the peace, and build a world
safe from war as well as for ex-
changing opinions among nations, it

4. Diplomatic channels, which are

1t was suggested that no move
ment was afoot to dissolve the
Council of Foreign Ministers, which
includes the Foreign Ministers of
China and France as we'll as the Big
Three. But it appeared that the
United Nations Organization should
commence to take over some of its
functions before long. o..

This may mean that the council
eventually will die out, while the

keep on handling problems of vital
interest among the United States,

President Truman has no irten-

desire to express opposition to the
proposed Army-Navy merger.
The President made this clear at
hts news conference late yesterday
when reporter said that IN some
quarters there was feeling that
opponents OF the plan would be
prevented from making their posi-
ton known. now that the admin

plan.
Mr.. Truman said he never has
made an attempt to muzzle any one
and does not intend to.
The President also expressed the
hope that Secretary Forrestal, a
merger opponent, would not leave
the cabinet. Asked If he expected
Mr.. Forrestal to resign, the Presi-

been trying to get out ever since he
(Mr. Truman) has been in the
