the German government - which
was a signatory of the convention
has ceased to exist.
About 100000 Germans now held
by Americans in three prison
camps north Of Cologne will be
turned over to the British W h n
occupation zones are definitely es-
tablished, Gill said.
The captives to be turned over
to France now are held in seven en-
closures n France, he said adding
they will come under complete
charge of the French just as If
French armies had captured them.
Gill also disclosed that about 10
per cent of the total bag of prison
ers would be discharged and sent
home under a plan to turn loose
all miners, farmers, transport
workers, women prisoners and man
over so years of age who are not
suspected of war crimes. These dis
charges already are underway and
probably will reach 100000 in the
next week or two, he said.
SIS troops, none of which are be-
ing discharged, are being held fo-'
investig as war criminals and
segregated along with other sus-
poets, Gill said.
Gill said large numbers of for
eign soldiers, mostly Russians,
who were impressed into the Ger
man army, created problem orig
inally but that all Of them except
the Russians have been returned
to the control Of the armies of their
own countries.
The Russians at first were not
interested in their own nationals
who had been taken into the Ger
man army but they recently chang
ed their policy, he said, disclosing
that around $4,000 Russians from
the Wehrmacht had been returned
to Soviet control and repatriation
of more than 10000 others was I'M

TRUMAN SUPPORTS
FREE PRESS PLAN

WASHINGTON, June 9.-P)-
President Truman told IA directors
of the American Society of News
papers editors today that interna-
tional problems will be much east
er to solve if newsmen the world
over have access to the facts.
He said newspapermen have a
responsibility to gather facts rap
idly and accurately and present
them UNDERSTANDABLE to the public.
The chief executive discussed
world news freedom for half an
hour with the AS.N.E. officers,
three of whom are just back from
a 10000 mile trip to dozen coun-
tries where they interviewed gov
eminent officials and editors in
the interest of freer flow of news
in the postwar world.
The chairman of the three-man
committee, Wilbur Forrest Of the
New York Herald Tribune, told re.
porters the group had found al
most complete adherence"
among foreign editors, except
those in Russia, to the American
news freedom program. Russian
editors only agreed in principle"
to freer flow of news, he said |
Other members of the Foreign
Survey committee are Ralph Me-
Gill, Atlanta constitution, and Carl
Alderman, dean Of the Columbia
School of Journalism. They will
make their formal report to the
A.S.N.E. board this weekend.
Forrest and John S. Knight, A.
S.N.E. president, said Mr. Truman
displayed great interest In their
mission and that a copy of the
formal report will be given the
president.
Forrest said his committee, in
practically all cases where they
talked to foreign editors, found
complete adherence to the So
ciety's views that these provisions
should be incorporated in any
peace treaty:
l. A pledge by foreign govern
ments not to censor news at the
source.
2. A pledge not to use the press
as an instrument of government
propaganda.
3. A promise of freer flow of
news In and out of all countries. |

ACCORD PUTS LID
ON TRIESTE ROW


Carinthia, which Tito also claims
for Yugoslavia but from which he
has withdrawn his forces after al
lied pressure.
A temporary military admins
tration is provided for the disputed
Venezia Giulia area which includes
the Italian city Of Trieste in tec-
ritory largely inhabited by Yugo-
slavs.
Tito's occupation Of this area aft
er the collapse of Nazi resistance
brought Allied demands that he
withdraw and let a peace confer
ence settle the question Of Yugo-
slav italian boundaries which have
been in dispute since World War
I.
An Allied military government
under Field Marshal Sir Harold
Alexander, the Supreme Ali e d
commander, will administer tn e
area west OF a line which gives
him the authority over the Istrian
ports of Pola and Trieste, and the
communications towns of Gorilla,
Caporetto, and Tarvisio leading up

Fuel, transport ane agricultural
industries, of course. also would
have to continue. as those most
necessary to keep down suffering
in occupied Germany.
Paulye told press conference
the United States realized mis-
takes were made in reparations
nolicies after the last war and 1--WE
don't intend to make the same
ones this time.
"1t would be futile for us to seek
rena vment for the total cost OF our
war effort" he asserted. "Both
the money and the lives are gone
He contrasted this view with
that following the last war when
the victorious Allies laid down
program of monetary repayment.
If that plan is followed, you
must encourage Industrial develop
mentn he said, pointing out that
under such a scheme last time
"the United States not only did
not receive PREPARATIONS, but sent
food and advanced credit to Ger
MANY which we won't do this
time"
Damage to property and the cost
of effort and energy to defeat the
enemy form the principal bases
for reparations, Pauley said, adj
ding that the United States was
short on the former but extremely
long on the latter.
He declared he United States
will assert a claim, "although as
to what it will be I am not pre-
pared to say"
The German gold hoard, uncov-
cred by the American Third Army
in a Merkers, Germany, salt mine,
will be considered by the repara-
tions commission as a means OF
restitution, Pauley said, and dis
closed that certain countries
which he did not name-already
had advanced informal claims to
some of it.
Pauley indicated that the Amer
lean delegation, which has u t
completed lengthy survey in the
American occupied zone of Ger
many, was going to Moscow with
definite program in mind but
virtually in the dark as to the de-
sires of Russia and Britain, the
only other powers to be represent
ed at the initial PREPARATIONS meet
ing.
Pauley and 10 to 20 others on
the IS man American delegation
which he heads will leave Monday
for Moscow while the remainder

technical representatives - will
continue studying the possibilities
of Preparations in Germany.
He said there had been no ex-
change of views between his group
and, it's British and Russian count
erparts since the Yalta conference
where the basis of the tripartite
meeting was laid.
Pauley said it was the United
States view that any German Wsr
industries which could not be
moved out of Germany should be
destroyed.
1--WE do not want another war
to take place and we are anxious
to have that type of equipment
taken out of Germany even though
we don't want it ourselves" said
Pauley.
The initial problems, he said,
were to determine what Germany
has lost, what she needs, and what
she has left for PREPARATIONS, adding
that German assets in other coun-
tries will be pursued.

1t was the first press confer

future. Also present at the

Vishinsky interrupted the
questioning of Zhukov about
the love affair Of Hitler and
Eva Braun to say, jokingly:
"The interesting question is
whether she is boy or girl.
Anything could be expected
from Hitler"
ZhukOv told in detail of the
last days of the battle of Ber-
lin and also discussed, briefly,
plans for the occupation of Ger

of matters, from liquidation of the British En-

In the wake of this there has grown up in

Gently urgent demands for specific statements
on American policy have come from Britain.
Perhaps Mr.. Roosevelt's apparent lack OF
concern conceals plan of his own for re-
corciling admitted differences at the coming
meeting of the Big Three. Perhaps his spe-

general anxiety is unnecessary. But in either
case the publics obvious desire for little
