Illness Of Stain Delays

Late Today, However,;
Illness Not Serious

Potsdam, July 31.-(AP)-
Premier Stain, has been slightly
lndisposed for the last two days,
1t was disclosed today. but is
expected to attend a meeting of
the big three this afternoon.
The disclosure apparently eX-
planned a tWo-day lapse in his
talks with President Truman
and Prime Minister Attlee.
Soviet Foreign Minister MolotoV
sat in with Truman and Attlee on
Sunday, but there was no attempt
to cu=.tinue the talks yesterday pend
ing Stains Improvement.
Stalin's indispoSition vas believed
to be no more than a slight cold, but
the 66-year-old leaders physician
took every prccautlon to protect him.
His condition was reported improved
today, and it Was stated specifically
that a meeting Of the big three was
scheduled for this afternoon.
II the Russian leader is fit enough
tc resume the arduous three-hoUr
discusSiu's which have been typical
of the conference to date, it is be
lievcd the parlcy may be completed
by Thursday or Friday.
The talks are understood to have
reached a point where the heaviest

sations, Wnlcn became known late
Yesterday Meetings Of the American,
British I'D Russian foreign sccre-
taries have been continuing as usual
since the last meeting between the
three top c~onferecs Saturday night,
il was understood. This led to belief
the conference might have pro-
crossed TO the final decision stage.
There had been some speculation
that the conference was to nave end
ed last night, but there was no mGl-
cation nor belief that yesterday S
failure on the part of the big three
to meet had in any way delayed the
Darley's conclusion. President Tru-
ma is known to want To get pack
TO Washington to make his report
to the American people and concen-
,rate his attention on the Wal against
