the amount Of work that has been
accomplished.
Sessions averaging almost three
hours have been held each d a y
among President Truman, Mar.
shall Stain and Prime Minister
churchill, it said, to discuss ma
terial assembled by their stats
in long hours of work.
The foreign secretaries of tn
three powers, as well as numer-
GUS committees and sub-commit.
tees. have been working into late
nieht hours screening material and
data and settling policy questions
within their jurisdiction. The re-
sulting material, complete except
for final discussion, then went tc
the Big Three.
It was reported reliably that
Marshal Gregory K. Zhukov, the
number one Soviet expert on mill
tary ground operations and SUI
preme Russian commander in Ger
many, has not yet been called into
the Big Three discussions. If mill
tary matters had been under con-
sideration, Zhukov certainly woulc
have been called.
In the economic field, it is be-
lieved that President Truman is
in no mood to give American ma
terial and wealth to nations which
do not aid themselves and advance
the basic aims of the United Ma
lions.
Mr.. Truman repeatedly does not
favor settling territorial problems
during the conference and wants
to. leave them for the peace con-
ference.
1t is reported that he is getting
along famously with Stain. Both
are blunt, direct takers and the
word is that they understand each
other completely despite the Ian
guage barrier.
Little information is available
about relations between Mr.. Tru-
man and Churchill. Churchill is
making a point of recognizing Mr..
Truman as a senior.
Mr.. Truman dined last night
with Assistant Secretary Of War
John j. McCloy, 1t. Gen. Luciusa
Clay and Vice Admiral Emory S.
Land. During the evening he got
together with an old friend Of
World War I, Col. L. Curtis Tier

lain of U. S. Forces in the Euro
pean theater.
Col. Herman served with Mr.
Truman in the 10Th Field Artil-
lery.
Mr.. Truman is planning to at
tend Sunday church services with
in the compound, probably with
American troops and his own staff.
Some British sources, meantime
believed that Churchill would re-
turn to London for the announce
ment of the British election results
on July 26. This, however, would
be contingent on progress of the
conference. Some believe the con.
ference will end by then; n e
think it may last longer.
Mr.. Truman has abandoned
plans for a three-day formal visit
to Buckingham Palace after t h e
meeting, but he may visit London
for one day on his way home, ac-
cording to reports from London
Friends of President Truman
here do not interpret his dec1ara-
ton that American troops are rot
fighting for conquest" as mean
ing that he favors abandoning for
titled bases in the Pacific.
The president told U. S. Second
Armored Division troops yesterday
during the flag-raising ceremony
at Berlin that 1--WE are not fighting
for CONQUEST and there is not one
piece of territory or one thing of
monetary nature that we want
out of this war"
Observers expressed the opinion
that his remarks merely underlin-
ed the intention of the U. S. to
keep the general welfare of all
peoples an objective in its inter-
national neooti afionS
