here, a Big Three President
Truman, Premier Stain and Prime
Minister Churchill; a conference OF
the American nations this fall, and
one of more peace conferences con-
fined to settlement of strictly war
born problems.
Revisions to Be Minor.
The prospect for the conference
here is that with some concessions
already indicated by the big powers
to meet small nation criticism the
Dumbarton Oaks plan will GO
through the committees, commits
sions and later full-conference ses-
sions unchanged in important pro-
visions.
One committee assigned to work
over the authority of the proposed
United Nations assembly knocked
down last night a whole series OF
small country proposals for giving
the assembly some power over peace
keeping tasks which the Dumbarton
Oaks plan assigns exclusively to the
11-nation security council.
The committee approved one sug-
gestion that the assembly should be
kept informed of what the council
is doing about threats to the peace
and another that when the council
is not doing anything about a
dangerous situation the assembly
should be able to recommend action
These are in line with big power
counter proposals to what some of
the small nations wanted.
The committee then voted mega
lively on proposals that the assembly
should have power to approve OF
disapprove council decisions. be able
to take up peace problems already
before the council. be able to order
the council to take up peace threats,
cross-question council members on
their work and exercise with the
council powers of peaceful settle
ment of disputes.

Chicago Truck Drivers
Union Goes on Strike
By The Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May 1.-THE Chicago
Truck Drivers Union independently
went on strike today. voting to re-
main away from their jobs in what
union spokesmen said was protest
against a War Labor Boards de-
cision affecting wages and hours.
The union, which claims $500
members, voted strike last night
and of 1874 ballots cast, 1,677 were
in favor and 103 against it. The
union members are employed by ap-
proximately 1900 Chicago COM
panies, among them most of the
big chain groceries. two of the
country's largest mail order houses,
many big trucking and carriage con-
Germs and several small jobbers.
The ballot followed a decision by
the WLB granting an 8-cents-an-
hour wage increase to the drivers,
retroactive to January l, 1945, on
the basis of a 51-hour week. The
union members now receive S42 to
$3.50 for a 51-hour week, but de-
mand SAT to $3.50 for a 48-hour
week.

KANSAS CITY, May l7-Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wickard sees a
possibility Of shift in forms OF
agricultural production in this
country. but no chance for "cut-
back" in the immediate future.
Mr.. Wickard, who came here to
attend executive sessions of direc-
tors of the IL Farm Credit Admin
istration districts, said cutbacks
when they come, will be "agronomic
rather than economic" Some lands
have been overcropped, he said, and
would have to be removed from
production to build the soil back.
Full meat and dairy production
will be needed for some time" Mr..
Wickard said. He added that it will
be at least year before Europe can
turn out a normal crop of grain.

RooseveIt's Position
On Poland Pointed 10
Solution, Paper Says
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK. May l7.--The Her
aid Tribune said in dispatch from
San Francisco yesterday that the
late President Roosevelt, in an ex-
change of letters with Prime Min
lister Churchill and Premier Stain
shortly before his death, defined
the United States position in the
Polish dispute but agreed with
neither the British nor Russian
view.
While Stating that the texts of
none of these letters is available" I"
the Herald Tribune said here are
some of the developments in the
explosive Polish situation which
their publication would reveal
THAT President Roosevelt dis
agreed with Churchill on the lat
ter's Interpretation of how a new
Polish government should be or
ganized under the terms of the
Yalta agreement, and pointed out
that insistence on the British in
depreciation would lay the United
States and Britain open to charges
~ ooboeaSd1S oliC nSA ACClilCllt.
THAT the core of the difference
between the British and the Soviet
interpretations of the Yalta docu-
ment was whether or not the Lub-
lin-Warsaw government should be
scrapped completely or used as the
basis for a new government.
That besides refusing to support
Churchills view that the existing
government in Poland should be
scrapped, President Roosevelt also
wrote along the same line to Stain,
but received reply which was far
from conciliatory in tone"
The Herald Tribune asserted that
the letters suggested "at least the
basis for a compromise which has
apparently not been worked on since
President RooseVelt's S death"

A detailed account OF the epic
battle of the Atlantic" in which
the American Nays victory made
possible the bridge of ships which
carried United States soldiers u
triumph over Germany has beer
placed on the public records for the
first time.
The story, as told to reporters late
yesterday by Admiral Jonas H. In.
gram, commander of the Atlantic
Fleet, was filled with examples Of
heroism and hardihood in the best
tradition of John Paul Jones. High.
lights were:
/. Germany lost more than 50(
U-boats In the Atlantic during the
war. of which 126 were definitely
sunk by the United States Navy
although the admiral said he be-
lieved the toll was actually larger.
2. The Nazis made an eleventh
hour effort in late March and April
to panic" the United States by
sending large flotilla of new-type
U-boats to the Atlantic Coast area
but the Navy was ready and broke
up the attack. Germany reached
its peak strength of $50 subs just
before the war ended.
3. Only last Sunday an American
destroyer escort captured a large
German U-boat en- route to Japan
with three high-ranking Luftwaffe
officers. Two Japanese officers
aboard committed hara-kiri. The
sub, under escort, is expected to
reach the Portsmouth, N. H., Navv
Yard Saturday.
4. Last June the Navy for the
first time since 1915, captured an
enemy warship by boarding it. The
prize was a U-boat taken west of
Cape Blanco in French West Africa
by baby f1attop and five destroyers
5. The Navy had definite informa-
ton that U-boats planned to launch
buzz bombs" against American
Atlantic Coast cities, but the plot
was foiled.
6. The cease fire" order in the
Atlantic has not been given yet and
will not be until the last Nazi U-boat
Is accounted for.
To defeat the submarine cam
pa1gn on which the German high
command counted so heavily for
victory, Admiral Ingram said, 1852
escort ships cruised $4,000 900 miles
So effective was their work that out
OF 1890 vessels sailing in convoy
only is were lost.
The dark days of the battle in the
Atlantic came in 1941 and 1912, the
admiral revealed. 1t was then that
Allied ships were being lost by the
hundreds per month. BY the enc
OF 1943, he said, the subs had be.
come merely a nuisance.
But, largely unknown to the
American public. Germany refittec
a new and larger fleet, many of the
subs being equipped with a "snozzle'
device which enabled them to re.
main submerged for several weeks
and made last-mintue attempt tc
cut off supplies to Europe and attack
American coastal cities.
Prom prisoners we learned that
this pack had orders to blanket the
East Coast from Maine to Florida, )
Admiral Ingram said.
This new pack was met by the
largest carrier and destroyer task
force ever assembled in the At
lantic, and in one battle five subs
were destroyed. One was sunk of
Block Island only "a hours before
Germany surrendered.
Torpedoed Five Ships.
These U-boat actions mdoubt-
edly were the Nazis' last fanatical
attempts to panic us before the

day, but it was made clear that the
issue would not be indefinitely de-
layed.
The Big Five meeting also studied
the possibility of limiting the time
of speeches, disposing more rapidly
Of proposed amendments to the
basic Dumbarton Oaks plan and
creating a special hurry-up COM
mittee.
None Of those present, including
DR.. Wellington Koo of China, Paul
Boncour of France and Britain's s
Earl of Halifax as we'll as the Amer
ican and Russian dela ation chiefs,
thought the work OF olueprinting
peace machinery could be finished
in two weeks. But they evidently
are hoping to finish in the first days
of June.
Important Problems.
The work and parallel diplomatic
developments here, however, have
gone far enough to spotlight the
accumulation of problems remaining
to be solved after this conference.
Among the most important:
l. Agreement among the United
Nations, particularly the main mill
tary powers, as to what quotas of
forces they would place at the dis
posal of the proposed world security
council. For the United States this
would mean committing at least a
part of the peacetime Army. Navy
and Air Force to the orders of the
council.
2. Negotiation of a new, long
term defense pact among the Amer
ican nations to carry over the pres
ent wartime alliance into the years
of peace. Other collections of ma
tions with common interests also
may work out such treaties, assum-
ing that the United States proposal
for fitting them into the world
organization wins approval here.
3. What to do about letting non-
United Nations into the new league.
This would be problem for the
organization itself but already is de-
veloping great political Importance.
There is widespread opinion among
officials here, for instance, that
Spain under the present Franco
government could never qualify for
membership.
Distribution of Colonies.
4. Distribution of colonial areas
taken from enemy nations in this
war and reassignment or confirma-
ton of inundated areas held from
the World War. This conference has
limited itself strictly to trying to set
up machinery for supervising trustee
territories, putting off to the future
any agreement On actual control OF
territories.
S. Settlement of the Big Three dis
pute over a government for Poland,
which has come to be regarded SYM
bolic of the difficulties of Big Three
Incorporation.
6. Settlement of conflicting terri
torial claims among the nations of
Europe. These are likely to be among
the most difficult questions the vic
tors of this war will have to deal
with. This is evidenced by the pres
lent Anglo American differences with
IYugoslavia over Trieste.
Future conferences in which these
issues will be tackled include, accord
ling to present plans and Official
hopes, a meeting of Mr.. Stettinius,
Soviet Foreign Commissar v. M.
Molotov and British Foreign Secre-
htary Anthony Eden in London few
weeks after the conference ends
