Fifty thousand away from their

up the bulk of the nations 10000

Acting Secretary of War Robert

Thursday night that the two work

pliSh what the Japs had failed to
do-halt raids on enemy industry.
These two plants manufacture
four-fifths Of all B-29 engines, Pat

The Chrysler strikers, totalling
approximately 10000. put down their
tools at the giant Chicago plant to
protest a multitude of unsettled
worker grievances. The strike began
last Saturday on a minor scale and

POTSDAM, July 27. (UP)
President Truman and Pre-
mier' Stain waited Friday,
apparently just marking
time, for word of when
Maj. Clement Attlee would join
them and resume the Big Three
conferences.
There was nothing but silence
from Potsdam and nothing to indi
cate that Mr.. Truman and Stain
had done any business.
Secretary of War Henry StimsOn
went to Frankfurt where he con-
ferred with Gen Dwight D. Eisen-
hover. Stimson then left by plane
for an unannounced destination and
it was believed he may be returning
to the United States.
London has issued no official
statement concerning the sudden
situation created by the resounding
defeat of the Conservative party
and Winston Churchills resulting
resignation as prime minister. The
best bet appeared to be that Attlee
will take time out to appoint only
the key members of his new cabi-
net and then will return to the
POtSdam discussions.
Some British observers still in
sisted that Churchill might return
to the Big Three meetings. while
still others believed that Anthony
Eden. as foreign secretary, would
be the man to complete British
affairs at PotSdam.

There was every sign that Chur-
chill would not return to POtsdam,
and reports persisted that he was
retiring to private life to write his
memoirs, perhaps even Surrenderlng
the parliamentary seat to which he
was returned in the ballOting which
gave the LabOriteS II landslide VIC

WAIT AT POTSDAM
The POtSdam conference added
a note Of urgency to AttleeS cabi-
net discussions. Premier Josef Stall
in and President Truman were
waiting impatiently to finish up
the talks begun with Churchill
A foreign office commentator said
that there is a lot still to be dis
cussed at Potsdam' and that it was
not just a matter OF finishing up
discussions already initiated.
If possible, Attlee and Bevin prob
ably will leave for Potsdam Satur-
Cay.
Attlee was expected to make every
effort to organize his new cabinet
before leaving for Potsdam. Some
quarters believe he would Broadcast
TO the nation before leaving.
AttIee arrived at the Treasury
building early Friday morning He
set TO work Immediately on the for
nation Of his government
It was not believed that Chur-
chill would accompany Attlee back
to Potsdam although the new prime
minister was expected us courtesy
TO ask him to 20 along Nor will
Eden return to the conferences.
The foreign policy which the La
hor government will follow was fore
shadOWed by Bevin in an address to
the Blackpool labor conference May
23 He said then:
Security for peace must rest in
the United States, Britain and the
Soviet Union. The United States
is a free enterprise country. The
Soviet has a Socialist internal econ
omy and Britain stands before the
two"
Bevin declared that Britain must
show patience and liberation and

order to come together for the COM
mon purpose Of maintaining peace
and developing a higher standard Of
living with a complete removal Of

He said that Italy should not be
treated as though MusSolini was

with France must be strengthened
