Leaves For
Conference
ENROUTE BY STE,
Secretary OF State
Accompanies Trum
To Berlin Area

WASHINGTON, July g. R -
President Truman is en- route by
ship to the Big Three conference
near Berlin.
He sailed Saturday from the
Norfolk, Va, naval base. This in
Dictated that his first meeting with
Premier Josef Stain and Prime
Minister Winston Churchill may
begin within the next week or 10
days. The President himself limited
recently that it would start on or
before July II.
The time of the sailing conceded
with White House announcement
that if Mr.. Truman and Secretary
of State James F. Byrnes Travelled
to the conference by air, they
would journey in separate planes
to eliminate the possibility of bota
being killed or incapacitated in a
single plane crash.
But Byrnes, who is next in line
for the presidency because there
is no vice president, is aboard ship
with the presidential party-larger
than those which usually accom-
panied the late President Roose-
welt. Also accompanying the Presi-
dent are Assistant Secretary OF
State James Dunn, and Charles
E. Bohlen, special assistant to
Byrnes and ansexpert on Russia.
Bohlen was Mr.. Roosevelt's inter
prefer at conferences with Stain.
Chief purpose of the meeting is
to make plans for the European
peace conference. 1t also is Like
| Iy that the Big Three will discuss
when and whether Russia will en-
ter the war against Japan.
This is Mr.. Truman's first jour-
ney outside the United States since
he succeeded Mr.. Roosevelt. Dur
ing his absence there is no acting
president. He will carry out all the
functions of chief executive while
aboard as was the case with MT
Roosevelt who signed bills and
performed other presidential rot
tine while outside the United
States.
There had been reports that Mr..
Truman and Churchill might hold
a preliminary meeting before SIT
ting down with Stain. But the
President spiked these reports
last week. The reports apparently
stemmed from the fact that Chur-

ture OF Refineries On

MANILA, Tuesday, July To-
P)-Netherlands East Niles troops
have made two new amphibious
landings in Balikpapan bay above
the Pandansari oil refinery area,
Ger. Douglas Macarthur announc-
ed today as Australian forces vir-
tually completed capture of the
refineries, among the largest on
B0rneo.
The Dutch troops went ashore
on Karfiango peninsula, between
the Soember and Wain-Besa~
rivers just north of Pandansarl,
and on the Teloktebang peninsula,
about four miles Northwest OF
Pandansari between the Vain
Besar and Balikpapan rivers.
The japanese opposed the land
ing with small arms fire from the
shore and from a number OF small
rivercraft. The enemy craft fled,
however, under the pounding OF
an Allied air and sea lombard
ment covering the landing.
More than SO heavy and medium
bombers and fighters supported the
landing and attacked other JAP
anese troop concentrations in the
Balikpapan beachhead area.
Macarthur said that the Aus
tralian Seventh Division around
Balikpayan and the Ninth Di-
vision in North Borneo were max
ing steady advances against the
Japanese.
An Australian Army announce
ment, carried by the Melbourne
Radio, said Seventh Division
troops had completely encircled
the Japanese in the Pandansari
area with an outflaking move that
captured the village Of Soember
to the Northwest. Other reports
reaching Manila indicated that the
Australians now held major por-
ton and possibly all of the refinery
area.
Across Balikpapan Bay, mean
while, other troops which landed
several days ago at Penadjam
fought off a japanese counte--at-
tack North of the Sesoempoe
river, South of Penadiam. Patrols
moving North of the coastal town

CALLS ELECTION

PARIS, July 9 R - Gen. De
Gaulle's Council of Ministers today
called a national election for Oct.
IA to create new national
assembly and announced that the
assembly, when elected, would
frame a new constitution and sub
NIT it to a national referendum.
If the proposed constitution is re-
jected by the voters, The council
said, the assembly will "elect a
Chamber of Deputies and proceed
to the election of Senate con-
forming with the constitution o.
1875" by which France is nov
governed.
In effect, the announcement
meant that the voters will decide
what form of government France
will have.
The announcement came as a
c O m pie t e surprise to political
circles. which had believed that DE
Gaulle would simply submit to the
voters a plan for revision of the
existing constitution.
De Gaulle previously had promls'
ed that national elections would be
held before the end of the year.
Whether he himself and his pres
emf ministry will be candidates is
unknown. bu. it is assumed that
he will run. Consequently inc
elections in some respects mlgh'
become a vote of confidence IN him
or rejection of him.
