The United States attitude is that
solution must be found which will
not destroy the Monroe Doctrine
the Pan American Union and the
Act of Chapultepec - which now
constitute the most vital regional
force in the world today-on the one
hand, and must not destroy the
Dumbarton Oaks program, on the
other, by taking away the authority
and usefulness of the security
council in recognizing regional
agreements all over the world.
Three Plans Studied.
Three ways of meeting this prob
lem are under discussion. One is to
provide that regional agencies may
act without having to obtain the
unanimous consent of the permanent
members of the security council
This is in line with the Australian
proposal The second is to add to
the charter an exemption of the
American regional agency. The
third is to have the security council
delegate to the American system its
authority over forcible settlement of
local disputes in this hemisphere.

Agreement Reported
On French Use Of Saar

By the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 10.-The
major Allies were reported in
French circles last night to have
agreed that the future use of the
Saar Valley coal mines shall be en-
tirely in French hands.
This rich region was under a
League of Nations mandate until a
plebiscite gave it to the Nazis. It's
mines once furnished one-third of
Frances coal supply.
The Saar question is not one off,
cially for the United Nations Con-
ference, but Rene Pleven, French
Minister of Finance, was said to
have talked it over with other Allied
leaders in unofficial meetings here
Frenchmen expect to get 15000,-
600 tons of coal yearly from the
Saar, helping prevent future suf-
fering such as millions in their
homeland underwent last winter.

objection to the bill IN its present
form.
Harris Challenges Demaray.
Mr.. Demaray, calling attention to
letter of protest filed recently by
Secretary Ickes, declared that while
park police now give effective aid
to metropolitan officers in felony
cases, this activity might not be
the same If the bill were enacted.
A challenge Immediately came
from Representative Harris, Demo-
crat, of Arkansas, who asked: do
you mean to say that If the ulti-
mate control were placed with the
metropolitan police that the park
police would not participate in fell
ony caSes?"
Mr.. Demaray said he had not in
tended to convey that impression,
that he was sorry" if he had, but
he insisted that there is a ques-
ton as TO whether the park police
man could function in a felony case
if he failed to get orders from the
proper metropolitan department
officer"
Hebert Defends Bill.
When he protested the language
Of the bill was obscure and indefl-
mite" Mr.. Hebert retorted: "I'll say
in answer to that that the language
of this bill is positive, definite and
conclusive"
.E,,r+barp,ora yo,, oro rL;,,;,u
over most important feature of
this BILL Mr.. Hebert told Mr.. De-
maray, land that is that the costs
Of the 88 park police now charged
to the District taxpayers would be
shifted to the Interior Department"
In reply, Mr.. Demaray said that
question was one to be determined
by Congress-, that he had no objec-
ton, but he voiced fears that the SO
men involved would lose their jobs
because no provision for their pay
out of Federal funds was contained
in the Interior Department supply
bill for next year, which has been
passed by the House and sent to the
Senate.
Deficiency Bill Possible.
Brushing that question aside, Mr..
Hebert asked Didn't you ever hear
of deficiency appropriation bill?
If this bill is enacted, don't you
think Congress could met that ques-
ton with a deficiency bill?"
The liquor license and price ad-
vertising bill was deferred for later
action at the request of Mr.. Hebert,
who questioned whether the evil
was being approached from the
right direction"
He reminded the group that the
Alcoholic Beverage Control Board
has recommended that local retailers
be forbidden to import supplies
from out of Washington without
dealing with licensed Washington
wholesalers. Because of these ques-
lions, he insisted there be a compre-
hensive study of "the whole picture"
before action was taken on the Nc
MILAN bill.

Hartman Flies Here
To Report 10 Truman
On PoIish-Red Issue
BY JOSEPH III. BAIRD,

A personal report on the trouble
some Polish issue which has arisen
at the United Nations Conference
at San Francisco was made to
President Truman today by w. Ave-
rell Hartman, American Ambassa-
dor to Russia.
Mr.. Hartman, who flew here
overnight from San Francisco, re-
fused to make any statement to
reporters. He was closeted with the
President about Is minutes-long
enough to outline to him his talks
with Foreign Secretary v. M. Molo-
TOW of Russia and Foreign Minister
Anthony Eden of Great Britain.
The Ambassador said that he
planned to return to his post in
Moscow within the next few days.
He is scheduled to meet there with
Mr.. Molotov and Sir Archibald Clark
Kerr, the British envoy to the Soviet
Union-the commission of three
named at the Yalta Conference to
pass on the reorganization of the
Polish government to include demo-
cratic elements.
British Envoy Here Also.
Sir Archibald also arrived here by
plane this morning. The British
Embassy said that he would remain
in Washington for several days be-
fore flying to Moscow Officials there
were not able to say what confer
ences, if any, he had arranged with
American officials.
The British and Americans still
have received no reply to their de-
mand for Russian explanation of
the arrest OF Is Polish underground
leaders, the Associated Press said
from San Francisco.
A Russian reply is expected with
in few days, however. The Anglo
American position is that there can
be little. if any, progress on CON-
plete adjustment of the Polish issue
until it comes along. Then new
discussions could proceed in Mos
COW between Mr.. Molotov, Mr.. Har-
rinan and Mr.. Kerr.
Representative OKonski, Repub-
lican, of Wisconsin, who has large
Polish American constituency, Wig
orously attacked the Russians in the
House yesterday. He charged that
Moscow, in its treatment of the
Poles, was preparing new order of
slavery in Europe"
Yanks Died in Vain"
Just what is there to celebrate?"
he asked, with reference to the end
of the war in Europe. The Four
Freedoms and the Atlantic Charter
have become a farce The 100000 of
our boys WHO became casualties did
so in vain.
I'VE hear lot about German
atrocities" he continued. But bad
as they were, the atrocities of today
under Red Fascism in Europe are
worse. That seems to be the chief
accomplishment of this war in
Europe"
The Representative quoted as fol-
lows from reports he said the State
Department received from former
leaders of the Polish underground:
Red Army men are stripping the
country of all its stores of food and
livestock. Looting and rape are ram
pant. The Polish people are starving"
