Davies Pays Visit
BY PHIL AULT

hOIlQOl, July \OG(~OOcCp1A Davies, aiming at last minute ad- Justments of Anglo-American view points before the Big Three Con. ference opens this week end, paid London & nasty visit today.
 He conferred with Britain's An- thony Eden this morning and later ill the day will fly to Paris. He also plans to visit Frankfurt and Berlin, but he will not go to south- ern France to see Prime Minister Churchill.
 President Truman's trouble-Shoot- CT, on his second diplomatic mission to London within six weeks, arrived last night. He conferred immedi- ately with U. s. Ambassador John Winant.
 Davies spokesman declined to specify the subjects discussed be- tween Davies and Eden, but they were believed to deal chiefly with Allied policy for Germany. Meanwhile the principal partici- pants in the Big Three Conference were converging on Berlin. MT. Truman was halfway across the Atlantic aboard cruiser and was expected to land at a northern Eu- ropean port late this week. He will fly from there to Berlin.
 Churchill, summing himself in southern France, was reported plan ming to leave Hendaye for Berlin on Saturday.
 Moscow reports said the Premier Stalin and his party were getting ready for a trip to the German capital within few days.
 Fedor Gusev, Russian ambassador to Great Britain, left London for 1 Moscow last night and it was un- oerstood he would accompany Sta lin to the meeting.
 Eden, who will fly to Berlin with in a few days, was expected to con- fer today with Turkish Foreign Minister Hasan Saka about Rus. sian demands for revision of Dar- danelles control.

He added that Britain realizes Russia's need for security and sea outlets but feels that the whole question demands broad international agreement.
 Observers believed that eight other territorial claims that might re" shape the map of Europe were like ly to come before the Big Three.
 The biggest of these, Poland's claim to all of eastern Germany as far west as the Oder and Neisse riv- CTS, already appeared to be an &C., complished fact, subject only to formal confirmation at the peace table.
 The Polish provisional govern ment in Warsaw has been going ahead steadily, stalking its claims to great areas of Germany right up to the Oder within 50 miles from Berlin, and there have been nc signs of American or British opposi- tion.
 Other territorial questions include the Yugoslav- Italian dispute over Trieste, French demands for part of the German Saar and Rhineland the Teschen controversy between Poland and Czechoslovakia, and Hollands claim to German territory in repayment for the Dutch lands flooded by the Nazi armies.
 The Berlin conferees also may bt called upon to intervene in the Oodecanese Islands, which belonged to Italy before the war but whicf Greece is apparently anxious to get
 Greece, in turn, is being pressed by Bulgaria to surrender its east ern coastal strip on the north shore of the Aegean to give the Bulgar' an outlet to the sea. There appears little likelihood, however, that Al lied Greece will be required to giv' up territory to former enemy country.
 Still another land dispute is brew. ing oyer Albania. It was under lstood that Yugoslavia is putting forth claim to the little mountain kingdom, now governed by a pro yisional regime which Great Bri
