sionaries and 9-year-old boy were
beheaded by the Japanese in 1943

it had not received permission from

Truman Expects
.Par|eytoCIose
Within 10Days
Big Three Meeting
Not Far Distant,
He Tells Press

President Truman expects the
United Nations Conference to
complete its work within 10 days,
he told his news conference to-
day. At the same time he said
he thought he could say that a
meeting of the Big Three def
nitely would be held.
Despite the slowness with which
the delegates at San Francisco are
completing their work, and in the
face of one published report which
put the earliest date the world Sc
curity conference could end as June
25, the President said he did not
think the ending would be unduly
delayed.
So far as his projected meeting
with Prime Minister Churchill and
Premier Stain is concerned, the
President said he felt it would be
held in the not far distant future.
No Plans to Expand Talks.
He gave that answer when asked if
the meeting was getting closer.
Mr.. Truman was asked if it was
possible that the Big Three would
meet in this country. He said yes,
it was possible but not probable.
The President reiterated in the
same connection that no plans had
been made to expand the meeting
of the Big Three into meeting of
the Big -Four or Big Five" as one
questioner put it.
The President said the only thing
he has discussed was a meeting of
the Big Three
Asked if delay of couple of
weeks in the conclusion of the San
Francisco meeting would delay the
Big Three conference the President
replied that it would not.
No Date for De Gaulle Meeting.
The President also said he did not
expect the French troubles in Syria
to cause any delay in his contem-
/ plated meeting with Gen. Charles
Gle Gaulle, head of the provisional
/ government for France.
| Mr.. Truman pointed out that no
! date had been set for his meeting
with the French leader.
/ In response to another query, Mr..
Truman said he expected Harry
Hopkins and Joseph L. Davies to
be back from the respective missions
, to Moscow and London within 10
days. But he declined to discuss the
conversations they are having with
foreign leaders, pending their
return.

Shipments Of Meat
Under Lease-Lend
May Be Suspended
Action, Caused by U. S.
Shortage, Would Affect
JuIy-September Quarter
BY the Associated Press,

The United States may suspend
shipment of meats to lease-lend
countries during the July-Sep-
tember quarter because of ex-
tremely short supplies.
Authoritative sources at the War
Food Administration said tentative
allocations for the third quarter
made no provision for lease-lend
supplies. Great Britain and Russia
have been the principal recipients
of lease-lend meats. Lease-lend re-
cipients were allocated 325, ,000, ,00O
pounds for the current quarter.
Upwards of 100000 pounds may
be allocated, however, to the United
Nations Relief and Rehabilitation
Administration for foreign relief
use.
The amount tentatively allocated
American civilians for the quarter
is about 100000, 900 pounds, dressed
weight, compared with about $780,
100000 for the current quarter.
The uly-September period is the
season of lowest marketings and
slaughter of livestock.
Foreign allocations are made by
an interagency committee headed
by Leo T. Crowley, head of the
Foreign Economic Administration.

III Million Topped
From Budget for 1S
Civilian War Agencie,
Appropriations Group
Asks Early Reduction
In Their Controls
BY ]. A. O'LEARY.

The House Appropriations
Committee today slashed nearly
$112,000,00O from budget esti-
mates for the 18 civilian war
agencies, asserting that wartime
controls should be leased as rap
idly as the progress of the war
will permit"
The total recommended for the
year beginning July /, $769 ,764, $50
is s206, 800, 900 less than the agencies
had during the past IL months.
The committee postponed action
on funds for OPA and the Fair EN-
ployment Practices Committee, ex-
planning that it is awaiting develop
ments on pending legislation to de-
termine the future life of these
agencies.
The bill to extend OPA beyond
June 30 comes up in the Senate next
week. The FEPC has been function
ing under an executive order. but
bills to establish it as a permanent
agency have been reported from
legislative committees in both
Houses. An OPA measure is ex-
pected to pass before the end OF
this month but it is doubtful if
both branches will dispose of the
FEPC by July l.
In Minute Bill.
Presumably money to operate
these agencies after July l will be
considered in a last-minute de-
flciency appropriation bill
The House group also put off &C.
tion on the budget for the Foreign
Economic Administration, pending
receipt of future estimates on lease
lend.
Some of the heaviest cuts recon-
mended today in budget estimates
were:
War Shipping Administration, $48,-
100000, of which $40,0O0,00 was
taken from the revolving fund for
ship operation.
Surplus Property Disposal Board
a $20,000,00 cut, which the com
mittee explains, was due to alb
sence of definite information OF
total needs. Additional funds prob.
ably will be recommended later.
Office of War Information, a ST..
900, 900 cut, taken mainly from over
seas operations. This leaves owl {
