PATTON RELIEVED

Patton, known to his men as

the most controversial figures in
the American army. His COM

with great skill and speed unequall-

his fighting ability has been re-
spected by friend and foe alike.
His slapping of a shell-shocked
soldier in Sicily, and his knack OF
making blood and thunder state

England and America at various
times made him Eisenhower's No.

COW.
Diplomatic quarters considered a
meeting of the Big Three unlikely
in the immediate future. They be-
lieved there would be a series OF
communications between them to
work out the procedural deadlock
rather than a personal conference.
The Big Three Foreign Ministers,
they pointed out, undoubtedly acted
all along on instructions from their
heads of government and, without
an exchange of views or basic
agreement, personal meeting
would be fruitless.
It was authirotatively disclosed
that the Foreign Ministers packed
up their brief cases without sign
ing protocols. They did, however,
agree on minutes covering the dis
cussions.
The big issue which threw the
conference into the deadlock was
the Soviet demand for strict ad-
herence to the Potsdam formula in
discussions of Balkan peace trea-
ties. This formula would restrict
the discussions to Russia, Great
Britain and the United States.
