Reds Satisfaction
with Talks Increased
By Steftinius Visit
By EDDY GILMORE.

+ Associated Press War Correspondent.
MOSCOW, Feb. 13.-Announce-
ment of the momentous decisions
reached by the Big Three were given
added significance for the Russian
people today with the presence of
United States Secretary of State
Stettinius in Moscow on a brief off,
cial visit.
Fresh from the historic confer
ence in the Crimea, Mr.. Stetinus
stepped of plane at the Moscow
airport late yesterday as the capital
still buzzed with news of the doings
ofsPremier Stain, President Roose-
velt and Prime Minister Churchill.
In one of the first editorial COM
ments in the Soviet press on the
conference, the Communist party
organ Pravda declared: "The
Crimean conference has proven
that the alliance of the three big
powers possesses not only a histori-
cal yesterday, victorious today,
but also great tomorrow. The
conference will go down in history
as an example of real democratic
cooperation"
Will Stay Several Days.
A communique said that Mr.. Stet-
tinius, who was accompanied by
United States Ambassador w.
Averell Hartman, had come to
Moscow at the invitation of Foreign
Commissar Vyacheslav Molotoy and
would stay several days. His visit
was taken as new evidence of the
ties binding Russia to her Allies.
Others in the Stettinius party in
cluded H. Freeman Matthews, di-
rector of the United States State
Departments Office of European
affairs; Alger Hiss, deputy director
OF the departments Office of special
political affairs; Wilder Foots, as
sistant to Mr.. Stettinius, and Mai
Terence L. Tyson, military aide to
Mr.. Stettinius.
The Secretary and his party
stayed WITH Mr.. Hartman at the
American Embassy.
En- route to Moscow, Mr.. Stettinius
saw great deal of Russia damaged
by the war and received a graphic
impression of how the Soviet Union
had suffered at the hands of the
invading Nazis.
Reparations Stand Pleasing.
Mr.. Stettinius declined to discuss
the Crimean conference, but the
results were expected to be savored
pleasantly by the Soviet public.
The total eradication of Naziism
long has been an aim of the Rus
SLAMS as a means of preserving
peace.
The decision on reparations also
was pleasing to the average Rus
sian. The announcement that Ger
many will be obliged to make COM
pensation for damage in kind to
the greatest extent possible" is
cheering news to people who have
seen their cities wrecked, homes
smashed, families hquidated and
children and women tortured along
with their soldiers.
The Russians also react fayorably
to the plan for formation of an or
ganization to maintain peace and
security, plan long sponsored in

Ed Flynn Makes
Trip Overseas
With President

Edward j. Flynn, Bronx boss and
former chairman of the Democratic
National Committee, made the trip
overseas with President Roosevelt,
but did not take part in the Big
Three conference.
Jonathan Daniels, administrative
assistant to the President, told news
men yesterday that the President
heard Mr.. Flynn was going to Mos
cow, and invited him to be mem
Der of his party.
The nature of Mr.. Flynn's mission
was not known.
In the presidential party also were
Fleet Admiral William D. Leahy,
his chief of staff: War Mobilization
Director James F. Byrnes, Vice Ad-
miral Ross T. McIntire, his personal
physician; the naval and military
aides, Vice Admiral Wilson Brown
and Maj. Gen. Edwin M. Watson,
and Secretary Stephen T. Early.l

the Russian press and among It's

the Russian press and among It's
public speakers.
The decisions regarding Poland
the agreement suggests the final
settlement of that country's western
boundaries should await peace-are
not inconsistent with Russian pro-
nouncements.
Occupation Plans Approved.
Perhaps the main hope sin the
agreement was the promise that 1t
will result In shortening the war"
The plan for occupation Of Ger
many also met approval because the
Russians never have objected to the
three powers occupying separate
zones and looked most favorably on
France joining the occupation forces
as a fourth member of the control
commission.
The Russians particularly ap-
plauded President Roosevelt for the
personal effort involved in his long
journey, the last leg of it by air.
Pravda's editorial declared that
the conference not only decided Hit
ler's defeat, but elaborated on the
conditions which will make impos-
sible repetition of German mill
tary aggression"
Izvestia, the government news
paper, hailed the conference as "the
biggest political event of current
times-an event which will enter in
history as a new example of CO.
ordinated solutions of complicated
questions in the interest of peace
and democracy"
Stability of Alliance Hailed.
The three leaders ''deliberated and
discussed large number of ques-
tions; any of which could be re-
garded as a test of the political
wisdom and far-sightedness of a
statesman" said Izvestia. 1t added
that the conference again had
proved the stability of the Allies
military alliance
"Hitlerite Germany is doomed, the
hour of its collapse has arrived, its
resistance is hopeless" Izvestia said
Strengthening of unity in the pc
riod of peace, the paper added, is
accepted as ''holy pledge" by the
three governments, and the people
of Soviet Russia are firmly con-
vinced" the Crimean decision will be
realized in full.
Factories and mines throughout
Soviet Russia held spontaneous
meetings last night and early this
morning following radio announce
ments of the conference.
Impromptu speakers made such
as these: We'll be in Ber-
lin soon," and This means the end
of Hitler"

Britain Sees Charter
As Pledge by u. 5. Of
Role in New Europe
By the Associated Press.


LONDON, Feb. Thes new
"Crimea Charter" was welcomed in
Britain today as a pledge of full
participation by the United States
In the reshaping Of Europe's polit-
ical and geographical future.
The feeling in London was that
the United States hardly could have
been more firmly committed to a
part in the postwar reformation of
Europe than by the clauses pledging
joint assistance to any liberated or
former Axis satellite nation in
forming interim governmental au-
thorities."
Part Of this joint assistance will
be to determine that these interim
governments represent all demo-
cratic elements. America must nee
essarily dip her hand deeply into
Europe's cauldron to back this
pledge.
This promise of United States par
tlcipation was welcomed especially
in London because of the storm
stirred here and abroad by Britain's
lone Intervention in Greece, Italy
and Yugoslavia, and Russia's inde-
pendent recognition of Polish gov
|ernment which was nurtured in the
Soviet diplomatic garden. 2~.
Press Lauds Charter,
Press comment in London virtual
ly was unanimous in praise of the
charter, which was described as the
most hopeful document that has
been produced in the present CEN
tury" and "a landmark lin human
history"
Attention was focused on the new
Polish settlement-a compromise of
Russian and British views which
commanded more space In the
agreement than any other single
subject.
While the Crimea agreement def
nitely eliminated the London exile
government, the attitude here was
that the London Polish govern
ment must be dissolved since it is
no longer representative of Poles
inside Poland.
There was no immediate reaction
from the Polish exile group to the
charters decision nor was there
from the Yugoslav government to
the British -American-Soviet decree
which left King Peter in an awk-
ward spot.
1t was assumed here that, lust
as at the Teheran conference, the
Yalta meetings had arrived at many
more decisions than those disclosed
in the charter.
Security League Seen.
1t was believed that major power
decisions on policing of the peace
would not be publicized until after
Germanys defeat.
The conference, it was believed
would lay the groundwork for the
anticipated world security league
confined to the United Nations.
This would place both neutral
and enemy countries on probation
until such time when they would
be willing and able to assume active
roles toward preserving world peace
1t seemed certain that the United
States would oppose the admission
Of Argentina until the present pol
icies and regimes of the South
American country have been re-

taries-Stettinius, Eden and Molo-
tov-had proved of the utmost
value" and that in future, periodic
meetings are contemplated.

Hoover HoiIs Agreement
Reached by Big Three

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-Former
President Hoover last night indorsed
the agreement reached by the Big
Three at Yalta. calling it strong
foundation on which to build the
world
Speaking at a Lincoln Day dinner
sponsored by the National Repub-
lican Club, Mr.. Hoover said:
II believe it comprises a strong
foundation on which to rebuild the
world. If the agreements, promises
and ideals expressed shall be car
ried out, it will open a great hope to
the world. 1t is fitting it should
have been issued to the world on the
birthday of Abraham Lincoln"

vsed. Russia was expected to take
a similar attitude toward Spain.
If future security policies actually
were laid at Yalta, it was considered
that Spain and Argentina might be
the primary targets for probationary
action among the neutrals, leaving
the status of Turkey, Sweden.
Portugal, Switzerland and Fire in
doubt
Such a decision, 1t was believed
probable here, would result in giving
wide berth to those seven nations,
plus Finland, Italy and Hitler's
Balkan satellites until they proved
themselves worthy of place in the
family of nations. z&

PoIish-American Leader
Attacks Big Three Decision
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Feb. l3.-Polish terri
torial adjustments outlined by the
Big Three were deplored today as
in direct contradiction to all sacred
pledges Of the Atlantic Charter"
and "a staggering blow to the cause
of freedom" by Charles Rosmarek,
president of the Polish American
Congress.
Mr.. Rosmarek said in a statement
released here that "docile submis-
sion to Russia's demands for all
the lands seized during the parti-
Itions of Poland as Germany's COL
laborator" is a distortion OF our
war aims and means "reafirmation
of the Molotov Ribbentrop line of
1899" -
The spectacle of an avaricious
ally, already devouring 10 of her
weaker neighbors in whole or in part
and of instigating civil strife in the
countries not yet under the Russian
sphere of influence unless checked
in time" will spell the downfall OF
Christianity and civilization, he said.

YoIto Was Winter Playground
OfCzors and Russian Mobility

Yalta, secret rendezvous of the
Big Three, is accustomed to enter
tanning political leaders. The Black
Sea port on the southeastern shore
of the Crimea was the site of the
winter. home of the Gar and of
high government officials Before
the Russian revolution, says the
National Geographic Society.
Outstanding among the palatial
winter homes and villas in and near
Yalta is the Livadia, 100-room
winter residence built by Car
Nicholas II more than so years ago,
at cost of nearly million dollars.
Shortly after the close of the
revolution, Soviet leaders cast
covetous eyes on Yalta. The
Livadia and its spacious neighbor-
ing residences, set amid gardens of
exotic flowers and luxurious trees,
and overlooking the Black Sea, they
observed, would fit into the plan of
the new government. SO the gay
winter resort of the Russian robles
became vacation spot for ailing
and tired Soviet workers.
Resort Taken Over.
The Livadia, once the scene of
the pomp and splendor of the i'm
periaF Russian court, succumbed to
the less lavish life of the proletariat.
Only few rooms were reserved to
display their former furnishings.
Other mansions went the way of the
Livadia, or became hospitals and
convalescent centers, except one,
which remained as sort of mu-
scum of the luxury of the Czarist
regimes.
Prewar Yalta had about 10000
residents. A glance at the jumbled
of the city from the
beach fringing the. Black Sea-
would. indicate that the people
sought to live within eyeview of
the water.
From the hills of the city in the
winter, one can see the range of
white capped mountains that has
made Yalta such popular resort
1t thwarts the cold blasts from the
north, thus permitting the warm
sun to exert its full effect on
lightly clad strollers on the city's
strand.
Yalta is noted for its sunny days,
making it one of the outstanding
contestants among Soviet cities as
the choice location for a Soviet
Hollywood.
Palace Is South of Yalta.
Livadia Palace, where the con-
ference itself was held, Is about 2
miles south of Yalta.
Built in Italian renaissance style.
it has a square tower at one corner
which included sun room for the
CZarina.
Evening star., 1945-02-13

Wings extend from the rear of
the main building to form two
courts, one of which Is modelled
after the Convent Court of st.
Mark in Florence, Italy. The other
is of Moorish design. Surrounding
the palace are acres of gardens
with many exotic flowers, trees and
shrubs, summer houses, fountains,
and statuary.
The long state dining room, where
royal visitors from many lands
feasted, has been stripped of its
elaborate decorations. Here the
convalescent workers normally have
their meals at long tables. All of
the religious equipment has been
removed from the palace chapel
which now serves as cloakroom.
Yalta is about 35 miles east of
BalaklaVa, locale of the story of
the charge of the Light Brigade
in the Crimean Warspf the last CEN
tury, and 40 miles eaA of Sevastopol.
1t was near Yalta that the Ger
mans cut to the Black Sea in their
Crimean invasion and drew their
iron siege ring around Savastopol
naval base.
Numerous Tartar villages, mosques
and monasterieS are scattered along
this southern coast of the peninsula,
sometimes called the Jewel of the
Soviet Union" Picturesque ruins,
ancient Greek and medieval for
tresses nestle among the holloWs of
the mountainsides and in the fruit
and olive groves and vineyards.
Meeting Given Title.
Premier Stain had to travel $50
airline miles from Moscow to reach
the resort city. Prime Minister
Churchill, arriving by air, had to
cross Europe and the Black Sea
President Roosevelt had to 60 the
farthest of all-nearly 5000 miles
across the Atlantic, the Mediter-
ranean and the Black Sea. He
visited Malta en- route.
1 The meeting will be known off,,
cially as the 'sCrimea Conference =
a The name was suggested by Pre-
mier Stain at luncheon following
the principals first meeting when
he offered toast to the success
of the Crimea Conference" ~
His proposal was unanimously ap-
proved.
Yalta, like the remainder of the
Crimea, suffered heavily in this war.
1t was recaptured from the Ger
mans April 16, 1914. The Russians
redoubled their reconstruction ef-
forts before the conference and a
number of large restored houses
provided accommodations for the
American and British delegates.

spades, my heart hit the bottom of
the wagon. The only tile we had
ever put in was row to drain the
cellar, and we had used our every
day spade for that. Why should Pa
be getting thing spades?
1t was not long till I found out
that a thing spade has two uses.
One, of course, is for laying tile;
the other is-well, l was to find out
pretty quick.

and we'll get to put these to use."
Get to put these to use!" But Pa
was that way. Especially when it
had to do with me working. And al
ways with twinkle in those Won
derfully blue eyes of his.

came walking down the road in his
foppy old hat with matches stand
ing up in the band. We always
called him "Mr." Shannon, but we
called Jim Vert Jim" and we called

Mr.. Shannon. He was the neighbor-
hood general utility man. He farmed
only forty acres, so had to work
out" He never stayed overnight, so
after a days work he would 90
down the road he had come along
that morning, walking slower now.
Sometimes Pa would urge him to
stay overnight, but he always said,
81 expect I'd better go. The woman
don't like to be alone" and off he
would trudge.
He was the only one who worked
for cash; the rest "swapped work"
If you came into a neighborhood
and found one man worked for cash
and the rest exchanged work, then
you would know he was a small
farmer. Mr.. Shannon was the news
man of the neighborhood, for he
worked first here, then there, and
knew all that was going on. When
he arrived in the morning and went
to the well to pump up drink, Ma
would come to the kitchen door and
ask him the news. He'd tell US and
throw out the last of the water and
the chickens would come running to
see if it was something to eat. Then
he'd fill up the jug and swing it up
on his shoulder and go off to work.
At noon Ma would have thought of
other questions, and Mr.. Shannon
would think of news he'd forgot.
So, the thing spades on our Shout

Our section of Missouri was called

the hills where a million buffalo
must have stood, and between these
hills were what we called the

to put your foot on. The sloughs
were covered with Slough grass"

just as well accept the fact. That
would be tossed in at a sale, too.
Next-going up the social scale
was the scoop shovel, very bright
and shining implement indeed. This
was used to scoop the fresh-shucked
corn into the crib; when all the corn
was in and the seasons crop was
over, the scoop shovel was put in
the crib and used to get the corn
into the feeding baskets. Sometimes
it would bang into nailhead on the
floor and get bunged up; then it
would be taken to the grindstone
and smoothed till it was sharp and
even again. Oh, it was an aristo-
crat! When a public sale came
along, the auctioneer would hold it
up so that everybody could see how
bright and shining and sharp it was.
But there was sad and realistic
touch. If it was kept long enough
and used enough, it would fall to
pieces and end up as a manure
shovel. 1t made a fellow stop and
think.
One day when Pa came home
from town and raced out to get the
mail, saw on the bottom of the
wagon kind of spade I had never
seen before. 1t was, found later,

wide; it was dished like the palm Of
