 Reaction in London. Moscow and Washington to the Big Three com munique made 1t plain that it was a give and take conference of com promise and adjustment. All three capitals reported reason for new hope that cooperation among the Big Three would underwrite endur- ing world peace.
 Decisions of the Moscow confer ence are proof that new steps have been made on the road of collabora- tion among the three great pow ers," the Russian government organ Izvestia said It added that there could be no security or lasting world peace without such cooperation.
 UNO Delegates Happy
 Moscow's Communist Party news paper Pravda sketched point by point the achievements of the for eign ministers and labeled each in turn a weighty factor in concerted Allied procedure to insure peace and iecurity.
 Enthusiasm verging on jubilation was manifest among the United Nations delegates in London. They said the Moscow agreements had cleared the way for good start on the UNO assembly session open ing here two weeks hence-a meet ing for which some quarters frank ly were apprehensive in the light of uncertain relations among the Big Three.
 The UNO officials appeared more hopeful than since the first atom bomb dropped on Japan that their organization could take up the task of keeping the peace with a chance of success.
 U. s. To Have Last Say
 In Moscow, Anglo American sources said there were good inn mediate prospects for European peace as a result of the decision tc draft peace treaties early in the Spring.
 A Moscow dispatch said with re- gard to the Far East decisions thai under Gen. Douglas MacArthur' command the United States ap' peared to have the last word in tht administration of Japan except or fundamental matters affecting th' constitutional structure or change in the Japanese government as whole.
 An American conferee said th' agreement on Japan was substan tially the original U. s. proposal submitted last August. The subjec was discussed thoroughly witt Premier Stalin before the confer ence, as well as recently, Moscow dispatches said.

Iran Still  ByPorIeY
Collaboration Now Brighter in World Work of Bio B

Moscow, Dec. 28 - (UP) Rela- tions in Iran emerged today as a major unsolved problem of the Big Three, but Anglo American sources agreed that on the whole the For eign Ministers Conference made prospects of international collabor- ation incomparably brighter.
 Some spokesmen were unrestrain- edly enthusiastic about conference results while others, including the British Foreign Minister Ernest Bevin, were more guarded in their comment.
 Bevin told correspondents that Russia, Britain and the United States had failed to reach an agreement about Iran, despite lengthy negotiations. He said the matter will continue under discus sion through normal diplomatic channels.
 He said he had assurances that the Russians will withdraw their troops from Iran on March 2, ac- cording to a previous agreement.
 Bevin urged patience, under standing and confidence in each others integrity in future Big Three relations. He said the con- ference was but one further stage on the way" toward solution of dominant postwar problems.
 All British and American spokes- men emphasized that the confer ees had reached concrete agree ments on many subjects, and laid the groundwork for settlements of others.

31 Believed Dead in Pit
 Smoke and Fire
 Hampers Rescue

Pineville, Ky, Dec. 28-(UP)- Veteran coal miners said today that it was likely that the explosion which blasted the Kentucky Straight Creek Coal Go. Mine No. near here Wednesday morning killed all of the 31 or more miners in the shaft.
 They pointed out that rescue crews-now battling smoke and fire in the wrecked slope-had pene- trated to within 2,500 feet of the trapped men but still were some 1,500 feet from the center of the ex- ploSion.
 even the masked emergency crews
 That would place the miners or iginally within about 1000 feet of the explosion which was so power full it splintered shaft timbers and caused caveins more than a mile from it's source.
 Heat and smoke overwhelmed and halted digging early today. Workers were unable to approach the fire seven hours later.
 A rescue crew foreman came out of the shaft at daylight and said the smoke was driving his men far ther back. Leaking emergency ven- tilators, hastily built as the rescue squads worked forward, were unable to exhaust the smoke.
 AS last resort, when all hope of succor for the trapped men is given up, the mine may be sealed to smother the fire, miners said. Such fires have been known to burn for months.

last April 20, but a stay was en- tered when the appeal was taken.
 The new date for death in the electric chair is expected to be set far enough in advance to permit special hearing before the State Pardons Board. The prisone. will ask the board to commute the sen- tence to life imprisonment.
 Zukauskas was convicted Feb. 8 on a charge of first degree murder for the staying Nov. l, 1914 of Mrs. Stephanie Plungis.
 " Speculation Made
 Legal circles today speculated about the reason for the move to bring back the two surviving trial jurists for the resentencing task, and about its possible far-reach- ing effects. The query was raised as to wether the move would set a precedent.
 Three judges had never sat for a murder trial here before, and re- imposition of the death penalty had never before. been necessary for a court conviction.

.BlueBaby' Is Doomed

Baltimore, Dec. 28-(UP)-Johns Hopkins doctors failed today to lift the sentence of ultimate doom which hangs over three-year-old Janice Marie Hayden of Michigan City, Ind.
 Janice was admitted to the hos pital Dec. 18 suffering from seri- ous heart malady Doctors hoped that the so-called "Blalock Opera tion," in which Johns Hopkins spe- cializes, would effect cure.
 When the operation was unde~- taken, however. Dr. Helen Brooke Taussig and Dr. Alfred Blalock found that it could not be per- formed in Janice's case.
 The child, who spent a happy Christmas in the hospital, is in "very satisfactory condition" aft- CT today's surgery, attendants said. After convalescence she will be re- turned to her home with no more hope of ultimate recovery than when she came here.

Y. c T. PIont Boss Jailed
 Women Striker
 Brinqs Chorqes

Stamford, Dec. 28-CUP)-Yale & Towne Manufacturing Company, Plant Superintendent Charles Horne was taken into custody to- day on complaint of woman strik- CT who charged that he pushed her as he and other management of ficials passed through the picket lines.
 It was the only reported incident as state and local police again sur rounded the huge lock plant where seven union members were arrest ed yesterday on breach of peace charges after attempting to block the entrance of management per- Sonnel.
 Showed Her Roughly
 The charge against Horne was preferred by Julia Clark, who said that Horne showed her roughly aside as he went through the north gate. Horne, however, said that she deliberately got in his way.
 At the main gate, there were no pickets on duty this morning when reinforced police arrived, but strik- CTS stood across the street calling names as management officials went into the factory. The Horne incident occurred at the north gate, where it was reported only nor nal number of pickets were as- signed.
 The incident came as organized labor joined in a protest to Gov. R. E. Baldwin and Mayor Charles E. Moore over the use of State Police at the plant where more than 5000 have been out since Nov. 2.
 Meeting Called
 Meanwhile, the Governor called a meeting of Yale and Towne and union officials at his office next Monday morning. He previously in- tervened in the lock factory strike Dec. 6 when he told union mem bers that mass picketing was illegal.
 Two of the seven strikers arrest ed on breach of the peace charges. were freed today and five others were to appear in city court. The men were arrested during dis turbance at the main gate when union pickets attempted to prevent management personnel from enter ing the plant.

The White House said the broad cast would take about half an hour. It will be made over all networks from the oval room at the White House.
 White House Press Secretary Charles G. Ross said the address should not be confused with the an- nual State of the Union message to Congress, which will be made after that body reconvenes Jan. IA.
 Ross said it has not been decided whether the President will make this address to Congress in person. He also announced that MT. Tru- man, who returns to Washington from Missouri today, will embark on a holiday cruise on the presidential yacht Williamsburg sometime this evening.
 This cruise, Ross explained, will be devoted mainly to work. The President will be accompanied by nine members of his staff, including two labor advisers.
 Ross said the Williamsburg will cruise during the day and anchor at night. The route the Presidents craft will follow will depend on the weather, but at no time will he be more than 100 miles from Wash ington. The yacht will be in con- stant touch with the White House by telephone and teletype, Ross said
 Mail and newspapers will be de- livered by seaplane each morning. The cruise will last until the morn ing of Jan. 2.
 Ross said that some arrangement would be made for the President to see Secretary of State James F. Byrnes, who is due back in Wash ington Saturday from the Big Three Foreign Ministers Conference in Moscow. Presumably, Byrnes would make flrst-hand report to MT. Truman on the conference.

Neurologist Sees
BY JOSEPH NOLAN

Boston, Dec. 28-(UP) The de- sire of many war veterans to be "babied" will cause widespread mar ital break-ups in 1946, according to Dr. Max Goldman, neurologist at Boston City Hospital.
 Married veterans are returning from combat zones with the expec- tation that their wives will be sec ond mothers to them, Dr. Goldman said in an interview.
 "As the old song has it," he ex- plained, some of the. veterans only want buddy-not a sweetheart. They're looking forward to having their slippers set out by the easy chair, their favorite pipe and bot tie of ale ready on the table, and nursemaid to gratify their every wish. Tn short, they look for all the things they haven't been able to

SoIons FIoy Veto Power For Russia
 Feor Great Split
 In Authority Now
 Held in Nippon

Washington, Dec. 28 - (UP)-Members of Congress today hailed the Big Three plan for control of atomic weapons but voiced some sharp criticism at this country'S agreement to give Russia veto power in developing control policy for Japan.
 Several Senators and Representa- tives expressed concern over the effect of the veto arrangement on efforts of Gen. Douglas Macarthur, Allied Supreme Commander in Tokyo, to establish a democratic Japan" Some diplomatic quarters wondered if it would not result in the divided authority that now pre- vailS in Germany
 The veto agreement was revealed last night with the release of a communique on the Moscow confer ences between Secretary of State James F. Byrnes, British Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin and Soviet Foreign Commissar V. M. Molotov.
 Give Bomb To UNO
 The 3,50O word communlque also revealed that the Big Three had agreed to turn over to the United States Organization the most fear full problem facing tn world today the Atomic bomb. A commission operating under UNO's Security Council will seek means to outlaw atomic armaments. Until that day arrives, the atomic powers-the U. s., Britain and Canada-will hang on to their bomb-making secrets. Russia agreed at the conference to come into new Far Eastern poll icy-making machinery under which she, the United States, Britain and China would have veto power on fundamental questions concerning Japanese control.
 MacArthur, as Supreme Allied Commander in Japan, would have sole executive" powers in imple- menting policy, although Russia, China or Britain could demand that his decisions be held up pending full Allied review. & Objects To Authority

 Woman Sees Differently
 The "litye woman," however, sees things in an entirely different light. in the opinion of Dr. Goldman, himself a veteran of Pacific com- bat.
 He explains the woman,s side this way:
 "The veterans wife looks on him as her hero. To her, the veteran is glorified Achilles who has done all the things she read about in the newspapers, and most wives expect to be swept off their feet by their returning husbands. They don't stop to consider that many combat vet erans are suffering a temporary neurosis that prevents their imme- diate adjustment to civilian life"

Washington, Dec. 2S -
 UP)-General Motors Corp oration withdrew today from the governments fact-finding ef- forts to settle the G. M. strike.
 President Truman's fact-fnding panel announced, however, that it would proceed with its work in the absence of company representatives.
 General Motors bolted the hear ings because the panel refused to reverse its announced intention of taking into account the company's s ability to pay in considering the CIO United Automobile Workers demand for 30 percent wage in- crease.
 Argues With Truman Company Counsel Walter Gordon Merritt made known the General Motors position at the start of to- days hearing. He said it would withdraw If the panel insisted on considering ability to pay. JAW Vice-President Walter Reu- ther retorted that the company was arguing with President Truman, not with the union. He apparently referred to news conference state ment on Dec. 20 in which the President said ability to pay is 'one of the facts relevant to the issue of an increase in wages"
 The panel, headed by Lloyd K. Garrison, had announced on Dec. 2l that it would consider ability to pay a relevant factor in the case. After hearing Merritt's arguments, Garrison said:
 Reply Expected
 'T,he panel has no intention of Preceding from or modifying its lStatement of Dec. 21." II The hearing was recessed to 2:30 Ip. m. when the panel expected to Emake a more formal reply to the company.
 Merritt, however, announced that "we have withdrawn He said he would return to New York as soon as possible.
 Garrison told reporters the panel would proceed even if the company |ChairS are vacant.
 Merritt said in a 10-page state Iment that the JAW had not met | the first condition urged by the President when he appointed the panel. This condition was that the union should call of the strike while the panel went about its work.
