APP Staff Writer

WASHINGTON, Oct. II - R -
Conflicts between the United States
and Russia over Balkan govern
ments and Japan are approaching
a new period of crisis.
This developed today from dis
closures made by Secretary OF
State Byrnes at news conference
The outcome of the conflicts is
considered certain to have a vita
influence on the future of Amerl'
can-Soviet relations.
In respect to Japan, Byrnes dis
closed that Russia is standing pat
on its demand that an Allied Con
troll Council should take over
Supreme authority there from Gen
e-al Douglas Macarthur. AS a re
suit it is possible that Russia will
refuse to send representative
to the first meeting of the Ameri
can-sponsored Far Eastern Ad
visory Commission here next Tues

On Balkan conflicts the centra.
problem is whether the Unitec

WASHINGTON, Oct. II. -(R-

The sudden call for halt-at

the operators by surprise.
They quickly expressed great
satisfaction, promised to cooperate
fully in restoring coal production.
and pledged there would be no re.

Schwellenbach had sought vainly
in eight days of meetings to bring

operators rejected a fifth proposal
