(COnGlQueQ sultations. They reached the close ly guarded Potsdam compound yes- terday
 This is a historic occasion" Tru- man said at the flag raising cer- emony. We have conclusively proven that free people can suc- lcessfully look after the affairs of the world"
 Troops of the second armored division, the occupation forces in the American zone of Berlin, were drawn up in smart formation for the ceremony.
 The divisions band gave MT. Tru- man four ruffles and then swung into Hail, The Chief" the presi- dential anthem. Later it played the Star Spangled Banner while the flag was going up over the bomb damaged barracks.
 Gravely proud, MT. Truman stood stiffly at attention as Old Glory mounted over what he called the capital of our great adversary.
 He said that in raising the flag it should be remembered that this was done in the name of the people of the United States who were looking forward to a better world with the benefits shared by all, not just few at the top. Abhor Inquest SYa dicnloiv1aAl s,, terests in the territories of the world, and re-afirmed that his country had no other goal than the securing of peace and prosperity for all the peoples.
 The Presidents voice tensed with emotion and determination as he said:
 We are not interested in con- quest, and do not want a single piece of territory from this war. We just want peace and prosperity that is what we are fighting for, and that is what we propose to win.
 Let us not forget we are fight ing for the peace and welfare of mankind"
 Concluding, he stepped back to the stand alongside his generals and regular staff aides and watched the flag rise over the barracks once occupied by the master minds of Reichsmarshal Hermann oGering' s air force.
 General Guests Eisenhower and Bradley lunched with MT. Truman before the flag raising. Last night the President gave a state dinner in the Little White House, at which he played the piano for Prime Minister Churchill, Premier Stalin and his other guests.
 Authorities revealed that Church. i'll was Stalin's guest at private dinner Wednesday night.
 The belated British announce ment of the Stalin- Churchill dinner appeared to be aimed at spiking re- ports of growing coolness between the conferees.
 British conference reporters, un- aware of the meeting until today, had been speculating freely on the alleged differences that had arisen between Churchill and Stalin. Some went so far as to say MT. Truman had been forced to step into the late Franklin D. Roosevelt's Yalta role of mediator to restore harmony.
 Censorship Unexplained
 No one else attended the Anglo Russian dinner except the two prin- cipals and Stalin's interpreters. There was no explanation for the withholding of the news until today when all other social meetings of the Big Three had been made known almost immediately.
 MT. Truman, who won a wide rep utation for his skill on the keys back in Washington, wound up his state dinner by playing, at Church. ills and Stalin's insistence, Bee- thoven's Minuet in G.
 Both Stalin and Churchill ap- plauded heartily when the president finished, and the party broke up shortly afterward, between 10:45 and Il p. m.
 Pianist Guest
 But the hit of the evening was a CT pianist, Sgt. Eugene List, who played MT. Truman's favorite, Cho- pins A-flat Polonaise, Tchaikow- sky's Piano Concerto, and three pre- ludes from Shostakovitch.
 As soon as the sergeant finished playing for the guests, assembled on the temporary White House porch, Stalin arose and walked over to the piano. The generalissimo shook Lists hand and congratulated him. He offered a toast to his health and asked him to play again.
 List responded with Russian and asked him toEasnpcf cmfwy vbgkq American folk music which so de- lighted Stalin that he again shook the sergeant's hand and congratu- lated him and offered another toast.
 MT. Truman and Stalin then fell into an animated conversation on the folk music of their countries, after which Churchill asked List to play the Missouri Waltz.
 When he finished, Churchill also went over and shook his hand, but without the toast.
 On the business side of the con- ference, regular meetings of the three foreign secretaries were ge- \. ttLt I
