Eden.
 Ending a six-day trip from Mos- COW last night. Molotov hurried in- to an introduction to President Truman at the Blair house, then crossed Pennsylvania avenue, for an 30 minute conference with Eden Stettinius and Anglo-American ex- perts on Russian-Polish relations.
 Molotov is staying at the Blair Lee house, official quest mansion adjoining the Blair house.
 The Big Three foreign ministers meet again today. Molotov, accord ing to authoritative sources, also planned to follow up his introduc- ton to Mt. Truman with a busi- ness visit to the White House.
 The three foreign ministers are expected to leave for San Francisco by tonight.
 The lateness of the Russians arrival made 1t certain that the strenuous discussions already begun would be continued during the early formality- filled days of the United Nations conference. The Polish dis pute in particular was almost cer- tain to require private Molotov- -Stettinius talks after the big barley gets under way Wednesday.
 Even the most optimistic Ameri- can sources foresaw no settlement Of the Polish question in the near future.
 Russia has bolstered its support of the Provisional Polish Govern ment of Warsaw by signing a treaty of mutual assistance and friendship with its protege Polish regime. The United States and Britain have re- mained adamant in their contention that the Warsaw regime must be barred from San Francisco unless it is first broadened to include other Polish representatives in line with the Yalta agreement. It has been two and one-half months since Russia agreed at Yalta to work with Britain and the U. s. on the for nation of such government of national unity"
 If either Molotov or the Anglo American leaders offered any solu- tion to this stalemate last night
 they and the State Department
 kept 1t a closely guarded secret
 The State Department has issued
 only curt-and inconsequential-
 bits of information about the i'm
 portant pre-conference huddle o1
 the Big Three.
 At least two other problems con-
 fronted the statesmen.
 One stemmed from persistent re-
 ports here that Russia and thC
 United States had run up against
 differences in the informal Yalts
 plan to present at San Francisco
 a scheme for placing dependen areas under United Nations trus
 teeship after the war.
 American officials had wanted t4 hold British Russian American
 French-Chinese discussion of tn,
 trusteeship plan before San Fran
 cisco but Molotovs delay prevented
 that Big Five meeting.
 Shortly before Molotov arrive, French Foreign Minister George Bidault, who had been here sine,
 Wednesday night, pulled out for thu west coast. Chinese Foreign Min l ister T. V. Soong, representing tn ? fourth sponsoring nation of the Sc
 curity Conference, still is in tow and may possibly be called into tn f Big Three sessions today. 1 The other problem-possible fuel fo Molotov's talks with MT. Truman was the situation caused by the lat
 President Roosevelt's promise a Yalta that the United States woul support Russia's request for thre s votes in the world assembly to b set up at San Francisco. Molotoy 1t was pointed out, would want t know now-and 1.-the America
 delegation proposes to support MI Roosevelt's commitment.
 + There was revived talk that Russis . faced with almost certain rejectio
 Of its attempt by the majority (
 United Nations, might abandon tn l idea to get extra assembly votes fc f the Ukraine and White Russia. Key members of the Soviet secur f ity delegation were among the ', Russian officials who accompanie Molotov here. They included Vas 6 iii V. Kuznetsov and Sergei I Striganov, first secretary to the de :, egation, as we'll as Sergei N. Kru { goVOv, vice commissar of intern;
 affairs.
 Only his interpreter and Russia Ambassador Andrei A. Gromyko a< 2 companied the bespectacled sovi, chief to his night meeting wit
 Stettinius and Eden, however. | StettiniuS was f1anked at the COT l, ference table by James c. Dunn, as
 sistant secretary of state in chare e of European affairs, w. Averell Hal riman, U. s. Ambassador to Moscoy and RuSsian-speaking Charles V Bohlen, liaison man between tf $ state department and White Hous
 With Eden were his permanent UT s dersecretary for foreign affair . Alexander Cadogan, and Sir Arch . bald Clark Kerr, British Ambassa D dor to Russia.
