Over 300 parents and friends at tended the public campfire which brought to a close the third week of this season at the Boy Scout Camp Mattatuck. Two special guests were introduced at the camp fire, Capt Arol Charbonneau, for mer Eagle Scout and Scoutmasters of Troop 13, who was wounded m action in Germany this last spring and Sgt. Raymond Fitzpatrick, marine correspondent, who has been with the corporal in prac- tically all of their Pacific lnva- sion5. Sgt. Fitzpatrick was for mer member of the Waterbury Democrat staff.
 The campfire was held on the shore of Lake Kenosha; a colorful feature was the torchlight process sion of canoes and boats with Scouts in Indian dress padding from the upper end of the lake past campfire on a raft in the lake. :.
 A large number of Scouts received awards for Scout crafts from Scout Executive David F. Babson. Awards were as follows: David Hoadley, second class, Robert Mcdonald, John McCann and Charles Mc- Cowan, first class.

 ill and Truman regarding the rec ognition of Bulgaria, Rumania and Finland. At that time, Truman sug- gested that the whole matter wait until the Big Three could discuss the matter, although he did not ob- ject to the immediate recognition of Finland. Churchill telegraphed Stalin that he also felt the entire question should wait until the Big Three meeting. However, the prob lem of ironing out all the details of permanent peace among these smaller countries of Europe is so complicated that it cannot be worked out at Potsdam; so it seems wiser to refer the matter to an en- tirely sepapate peace conference.
 Vienna As Site
 This latter barley will probably take place somewhere within the Soviet sphere of influence, possibly Vienna. It will settled all boundary questions, recognition of new gov- ernments, and reparation payments by the former Axis countries to the Allies.
 There seems to be general agree ment at Potsdam that any world peace conference such as that which followed World War I at Versailles would drag on for months and that it is much better to tackle those problems according to regions.

 That theory was based on the probability that Churchill would re- turn to London on July 26 for the election returns, neceSsitaGing postponement in the deliberations if they have not wound up by that time.
 The big staffs of experts brought along by the big three were working day and night and the conference heads themselves took time out yes- terday only long enough for MT. Truman to attend the Protestant and Catholic church services held for American troops in Berlin.
 After attending the Protestant service conducted by Chaplains Er- nest E. Northern, Midlothian. Va, and Lawrence Nelson, Sarasota, Fla, the president attended the Catholic Mass celebrated by Chap lain Col. L. Curtis Ternan, Kansas City, Mo.
 Col Herman served in MT. Tru- mans old regiment in World War l..
 Later, MT. Truman returned to the conference chamber for another session with Churchill and Stalln.
 Advisers Join Conference
 Meanwhile, it was believed that Judge Samuel Rosenman, presi- dential adviser, would be sum- moned from Washington to help draft MT. Truman's report to the senate.
 Observers looked for the president to go directly to the senate within a few hours after his return. to the United States to make a detailed, factual report on his meeting with the Russian and British leaders.
 A freak cyclone struck the Berl.n area late yesterday, ripping up trees and levelling many weakened build ing walls throughout the city, but the twister failed to interrupt the busy round of meetings in the Pots dam palace.
 The storm lasted only few min utes and first reports said there were no casualties.
 Stalin entertained MT. Truman and Churchill at 8 state dinner in his temporary conference headquar- ters Saturday night. High Ameri- can and British staff members also were invited, including Secretary of State James F. Byrnes, Admiral William D. Leahy, Foreign Secre- tary Anthony Eden, and British Labor Party Leader Clement Attlee.

 Vinson was sworn in by Chief Justice D. Lawrence Groner of the U. s. District court of appeals in the presence of several hundred per sons in the House Ways and Means Committee room.

 Synder Succeeds
 Vinson's post as director of War Mobilization and reconversion will be taken over by John w. Snyder of St. Louis. Snyder also was to be sworn in today.
 MT. Truman's appointment of Vim son to head the treasury depart ment marked his sixth change in the cabinet of the late Franklin D. Roosevelt. The two other Roosevelt appointees who may be leaving be- fore long are Secretary of Interior Harold L. Ickes and Secretary of War Henry L .Stimson.
