|Stettinius Refuses to Answer
|33 Questions on Votinu Plan
from Yesterdav's Last

From Yesterdays Last Edition.)
Thirty three questions regarding
the Big Three agreement to seek
additional voting power for Russia
and the United States in the gen.
eral assembly Of the proposed world
peace organization were submitted
to Secretary Of State Stettinius at q
news conference today. Twenty
seven of them were prepared in adj
vance by group of reporters and
more were asked verbally. Mr..
Stettinius refused to answer the
questions, but promised he would
try to answer some of them next
week.
r. H. Shackford, United Press cor
respondent, read the 27 prepared
questions to Secretary Stettinius
after Leon Pearson, International
News Service correspondent, ex-
planned to the Secretary that they
had been drafted by group in the
State Department press room as
representing what has come into
the minds Of most OF us regarding
this matter"
He added that the questions were
presented mot merely in an effort
to get a story but because reporters
felt that more than general state
ment OF assurance" was necessary to
allay apprehension in the public
mind.
Questions Raised.
These were the questions:
l. Were there any other secret
agreements on the Dumbarton Oaks
plan made at Yalta?
2. Were there any other secret
or as yet unrevealed agreements on
any other subject made at Yalta?
3. Why did the United States con-
slider 1t necessary to keep such an
agreement secret?
4. Since the assembly agreement
was kept secret AZ days and finally
revealed only after the Herald
Tribune dispatch on it, the assump-
tion is that it was intended To
spring the proposal without advance
announcement at San Francisco. Do
you care to let that assumption
stand?
5. II not, why was it held up for
At days?
Policy Of Secrecy.
8. How does this policy of secrecy
At into the State Departments pro-
fessed new policy Of taking the
people into their confidence and of
building peoples foreign policy?
Z. Dispatches from London this
morning said British officials were
surprised at the White House an
nouncement, especially the refer
ence to three votes for the United
States. Their understanding was
that the Yalta secret agreement
concerned only three votes for Rus
sia. Can you explain that differ
ence?
8. viii the Ukranian and White
Russian republics have separate
representatives and thus a separate
vote at San Francisco?
Q. Why does the United States
consider it necessary for the United
States and the USSR to have more
than one vote in the assembly?
What Of China, France?
10. II the United States and
USSR are to have three votes,
wouldn't France and China be
justified in asking for more than
one?
IL. Wouldn't some of the middle
powers like Brazil, the Netherlands,
Mexico, etc, be reasonably expect

Nazi Prisoners
CLEAR Mines in
Dunkerque Area

DUNKERQUE - W.D WISH
tors TO Dunkerque sometimes
have to rub their eyes and pinch
themselves to make sure they
are not dreaming - dreaming
that the Germans are still oc-
cupying France.
The reason is that some $50
German prisoners, still dressed
in their uniforms, are wander
ing around the town quite freely
under the command of their
own officers. The catch is that
these men are volunteer nine
detectors, and as such, because
the Job is a dangerous one, are
allowed almost complete free
dom of movement.
The volunteers are divided
into three companies and since
the liberation of France they
have neutralized over 100000
mines in the Dunkerque region.
In the process they have lost 81
men-victims of their own coun-
try's war materiel.
The German soldier volun-
teers are allowed TO drive their
own cars around Dunkerque be-
ing given gasoline by the
French administration. They
prefer to do this dangerous
work and remain "disarmed
troops" rather than prisoners.
They live in the German-made
blockhouses where they were
quartered before Dunkerque
surrendered.
Z The German mine detecting
squads are under the supervi-
sion of the French government
department of bridges and roads
and the French railroad society.
