fault thought remembered and I've Just looKed up and verified piece of the late President Roose- velt's speech when he came back from Yalta.
 That was the one delivered to the joint session of the Senate and House of Representatives the nation and the world and unless memory fails, 1t was delivered March l. 1945, and his last address to the people he had represented in these momentous conferences.
 Tn that report he said: Never before have the major Allies been closely united-not only In their war aims, but also in their peace aims And they determined to continue to be united to be united with each other, and with all peace-loving natons-so that the ideal of lasting peace will become a reality I think the Crimea conference was successful effort by the three leading nations to find common ground for peace. It spells-and 1t ought to spell--the end of system of unlateral action, exclusive alliances. and spheres of influence, and balances of power, and all the other expedents which have been tried for centuries and have always failed. ."

to reduce the number of workers In
nonessential plants, with penalties
confined to employers forviolation
of hiring regulations, but Contained
no authority to require workers thus
eliminated to go to or remain in a
war job.
Supporters Of the Senate bill
based that hope on the fact that
the compromise won House approval
by a margin of only seven votes
last week. Administration spokes-
men argued, however. that the
House abandoned its original labor
draft bill for men Is to As to COM
promise on the freeze" provision.
and warned that the House would
not 60 all the way by accepting the
Senate bill.

Maine, who was co-sponsor Of the
House labor-draft bill, pointed out
that only 18 of SIS Democrats in the
Senate stood by the President yes
terday, and added: THAT vote indi-
Gates Mr.. Roosevelt's party hasn't
much confidence in him"
From the beginning of the debate
last week, administration leaders
faced an uphill fight, but they lost
all chance Of turning the tide over
the week end when Senator john
son, Democrat, Of Colorado. who had
helped work out the compromise,
decided to vote against it.
He interpreted one sentenced in
the Saturday report Of War Mobi-
.lization Director Byrnes as an indi-
cation the administration wanted
TO continue job controls during the
period of postwar reconversion. The
bill itself, however, had an expira-
ton date of June 80. 1916, or the
termination of hostilities,. which,
ever is the earlier. On the heels of
the report came the resignation of
Mr. Byrnes, which also was injected
into the closing hours of debate.

New Conference Seen
As Only Chance 10
Save Manpower Bill
BY J. A. O'LEARY.

Only slender thread of life
remained today in the manpower
bill, which was beaten in the
Senate yesterday, 46 to 90, when
a coalition Of Democrats and
Republicans dealt the admins
tration it's first major defeat on
a war measure.
The spark that still fingered in
the bill was the Senate's request
that the House reopen negotiations
in search for new compromise.
However, Representative Thoma-
son, Democrat, OF Texas, one of the
House conferees. said he sees little
chance for new agreement.
Some of the most consistent sup
porters Of President Roosevelt left
him yesterday to follow the lead of
Senator OMahoney, Democrat, of
Wyoming, who was one of the au-
thors of the milder manpower meas
ure the Senate had passed earlier.
Twenty-one Democrats Vote No.
Twenty-one Democrats joined with
"a Republicans and a Progressive
to roll up 17-vote margin against
the compromise. which would have
given the director of war mobiliza-
ton discretionary power to freeze"
workers in essential jobs and to
regulate employment for the re-
mainder OF. the war, with equal
penalties on employers and employees
to make the regulations stick.
Only l8 Democrats and IL Repub-
licans supported Mr.. Roosevelt's re-
peated appeals since January for
an effective manpower bill.
With the House in the midst of
series of three-day recesses, it may
be two weeks before the issue either
is revived or buried in that branch,
unless House leaders decide to call
Representatives back to the city
sooner
Many of those in the Senate who
opposed the compromise as too Sc
we're hoped it's defeat would prompt
the House to reverse itself and take
