BY r. II, SHACKFORD

"AOf1lNGlOIN, April 4. NOfD-
President Roosevelt Wednesday fac
ed the embarrassing possibility of
having to renege on promise he
made to Marshal Josef Stain at
Yalta.
It is only a possibility and no
stone will be left unturned to avoid
it. But it is there and probably the
number one worry of Secretary OF
State Edward r. Stettinius, Jr., who
will lead the American delegation

curity conference.

The only apparent alternatives to
such an embarrassing situation are
Cd To get the U. S. delegation to
the conference to support the Presi-
dents commitment to back Russia S

drop the idea.
Mr.. Roosevelt agreed at Yalta to
support Russia's bid for three as

versal of policy, he has abandoned
another aspect of the Yalta plan
to seek three seats for the United
States if the Russian plan is ap-
proved.

1t must be done by the U. S. dele

President and Stettinius thus are
confronted with the job of getting

existent now But officials are op-
timistic about avoiding situation in
