field outside Paris on an attempted
one-stop flight to Wright Field,
Ohio.
The German plane, comparable
in size to the American B-29 Super
Fortresses was scheduled to stop
only briefly at the Azores for re-
fueling.
The Army made no estimate on
how long the flight to Wright Field
would take. This type of German
plane has flown with as many as
SO men and a crew of IL aboard
and has a range of 5000 miles. It's
cruising speed is only ITS miles an
hour, considerably slower than the
B-29.
Col. Watson took crew of nine
with him. A test pilot for five years
at Wright Field before coming over
seas, Col. Watson has been testing
German aircraft for the last four
months.
The Junkers was captured intact
near Munich three days before We

which might prove valuable to the

No Significant Relief

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Bureau OF Agricultural
Economics advised civilians yes
terday to expect no significant
relief from food shortages within
the next IL months.
In report on the national food
situation, the bureau-which Is the
Agriculture Departments statistical
agency-said such foods as meats
fats and vegetable oils, sugar, cheese
condensed and evaporated milk
poultry, eggs, canned fruits and
canned vegetables. will continue
short in relation to demands.
In addition, rice, dry beans, apples
and processed foods using large
amounts of sugar and fats and oils
may become short, 1t said.
On the other hand, civilian sup
plies of fluid milk, skim milk prod
ucts, canned fruit juices, many
fresh vegetables and fruits, includ-
ing citrus fruits, fresh fish and most
grain products are expected by the
bureau to be fairly plentiful.
1945 Food Problem.
Listed as the basic food problem
of the United States in 1945 was
how to distribute an overall food
output one-third greater than in
1935-1939 to meet an overall civilian,
military and export demand approx
imately one-half greater than the
prewar demand.
The bureau said 1945 food pro-
duction may be to per cent be-
low 1914, but 80 per cent above the
1935-1939 average. The total pro-
duction of food from livestock this
year may be about 5 per cent less
than last year, with most of the re-
duction coming during the first nine
months.
Present plans indicate that the
1945 food supply will be distributed
about as follows: United States civil
ians, n per cent; armed forces-in-
cluding relief feeding by the mill
tary-l7 per cent; Government pur-
chases for lease-lend and civilian
relief abroad, to per cent, and
other commercial exports, l to 2
per cent.
Consumption Drop Seen.
Prospective food supplies for
civilians indicate, the bureau said
the consumption per person will
average about per cent below the
1914 record rate.
The bureau said overall supplies
Of meats for civilians may be little
larger next winter than in recent
morths, but that most Of the sea-
sonal increase in meat production
will be taken to meet the needs of
the armed forces.
The bureau disclosed that the
Agriculture Department is sched-
uled tentatively to buy about 4 per
cent of the October-December pro-
duction of meat for use in liberated
areas of Europe.

Big ; Resume
Talks Soon After
Att|ee Arrives
Bevin Steps Into
Eden's Role; Other
Personnel Remains
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
POTSDAM, July 23~The Big
Three resumed their conference
tonight soon after Britain's new
Prime Minister, Clement Attlee
arrived by plane to replace Win
ston Churchill in deliberations
on which the worlds future
hinges.
The three leaders sat down to-
gether Immediately after Mr.. Attlee
had made formal calls, first on
President Truman, then on Premier
Stain.
The American delegation, mean
while, disclosed that President
Truman had dined with Navy Sec
retary Forrestal.
1t was emphasized that the plen-
ary session began with a minimum
of delay.
The conference resumed with the
personnel of the British supporting
delegation unchanged except for the
replacement of Anthony Eden, Mr.
Churchill's foreign secretary, by the
new foreign secretary, Ernest Bevin.
Meeting Today Expected.
The fact that Mr.. Attlee had not
replaced others in the delegation
supported the belief that the Big
Three sought an early conclusion
Of the discussions.
The belief prevailed that the Big
Three would meet again tomorrow
as they did last Sunday.
1t was learned that lower levels
of the conference have been meet
ing regularly since Mr.. Churchill
and Mr.. Eden left for London We'd
nesday to learn of the British vot-
ers crushing rejection of the
Churchill government. Presumably
their work has accomplished much
toward speeding the conference to a
conclusion, expected next week.
The speed with which tonight's
plenary session was arranged i'm
mediately after Attlee's arrival gave
support to the understanding that
he was in accord with the major
commitments of his predecessor.
AttIess at All Meetings.
1t is now definitely known that
Attlee sat in on all nine of the
previous plenary meetings.
Mr.. Attlee's presence in Potsdam
throughout the early part of the
meeting enabled him to replace Mr.
Churchill without a break in the
continuity of the discussions. These
have covered everything from Pres
ident Truman's primary objective
victory over Japan-to the future
government of Germany.
Thursdays ultimatum by the
United States, Britain and China to
Japan to surrender Immediately or
be wiped out heightened American
interest in the conference While
the ultimatum did not bear Premier
Stalin's signature. its issuance from
Potsdam justified the assumption
that the Russian leader had prior
knowledge of its contents.
There had been no further COM
ment here on how long the Japa-
nese would be given to comply with
the stringent Allied terms for sur
render.
Judge Samuel Rosenman, special
counsel to Mr.. Truman, was dis
closed to have been summoned by
the President, presumably to help
him draft report of the confer
ence to be broadcast to the Ameri-
can people Immediately on his re-
turn to Washington.
