Moscow Hints
0keh On Meet
Of Big Three

LONDON. May IL. .fUP)--A Mos
COW dispatch said Thursday that
i. has become apparent in the Sow
Jet capital that the worsening poll
tical situation in Europe required
immediate attention on the high
est level"
The dispatch, apparently heavily
censored, indicated Russia was in
clining to the belief that the Allied
Big Three should meet in the near
future to iron out pressing European
problems.
Both President Truman and Prime
Minister Churchill publicly have
expressed the. hope and the need
for such a meeting But Premier
Stain to date has remained silent.
Churchill was known to be desir-
Gus of having the leaders meet in
London, but it appeared more likely
they would get together somewhere
on the continent, possibly in con-
quered Germany.
NJ S. Handler, United Press cor
respondent in Moscow, said the dis
pIste over occupation and possession
Of Trieste was the latest and per-
haps most acute of the European
problems to plague the Allies.

his parents and friends believe, that
the bullet dislodged from his heart
and started travelling, lodging near
his hip. Ell Centre physicians be-
lieve the bullet can be removed and
that young Sherwood will be good

GUAM, May II. (UP)-American
doughboys and marines, massed a.

Okinawa, sent patrols into both key
towns Thursday preparatory to what
may be the final lunge for control
Of the big island.
The japanese were resisting fur

The army's 382nd regiment was
within 200 yards of Shuri in the

to be the chief obstacle to a swing

Tanks pushed out 300 yards to-

DUBLIN, May II. (UP)-
Premier Eamon de Valera
again raised the question of
complete Irish independence in re-
plying to Prime Minister Winston
Churchill's harsh criticism Of Irish
neutrality.
De Valera in a speech Wednes-
day night said allowances can be
made for Mr.. Churchill's statement,
however unworthy, in the first flush
of his victory
The Irish leader posed the ques-
ton of whether Ireland could join
a war fer the independence of other
small nations when several Irish
counties were under British domi-
nation.
THAT Churchill should be irri-
tated when our neutrality stood in
the way of what he thought he vi
tally needed, / understand" De Va
lera said But that he, or any
thinking perfon in Britain or else
where, should fail to see the reason
for our neutrality find it hard to
conceive"
Churchill makes it clear that in
certain circumstances he would
have violated our neutrality and he
would have justified his actions by
Britains necessity said De Valera.
Surely Churchill must see that
