WASHINGTON, Nov. 8-P)-
Negotiations between Moscow
and Washington over a variety
of problems ranging from Japan
to Turkey appeared today to be
farther from success than Of
ficials here had hoped.
Here is the situation:
/. Foreign CommisSar Mol
otov has replied to an American
proposal for an allied control
agency in Tokyo which would
be subordinate to the far east
ern advisory commission in
Washington. There are strong in
dications that Molotov turned
down this proposal and that Sec
rotary of State Brynes is not in
clined to compromise the issue
further.
2. The United States has laid
a four-point program for revis-
ing control of the Dardenelles
before the Turkish government.
This would give Russia some ad-
vantages in the use of the straits
which she does not now have.
But it falls far short of Russia S
reported desire for m ilitary
bases on Thevital link between
the Black Sea and the Mediter-
ranean.
3. A Russian-Turkish treaty
of nonaggression and friendship
which had run for many years
expired yesterday following Sow
let denunciation. Diplomatic Of.
ficials y they fear that ssia
may make few psychological
passes at Turkey in order to gain
the right to set up Dardenelles
bases on Turkish soil and also tc
win over certain territories ir

4. The problem of the atomic
bomb and peacetime uses of at
omic energy becomes more acute
between the two countries, in
the opinion of diplomatic author
tiles, as the time approaches for
conferences m ong President
Truman and Prime Ministers At
lee of Britain and Mackenzie
King of Canada. These talks will
open Sunday aboard the Presi-
dental yacht Potomac.
ATOM NO SECRET
Brynes declined at an after
noon news conference yesterday
to comment on Molotov's speech
in Moscow Tuesday saying that
Russia would have atomic en-
ergy and that the secret of the
bomb could not be kept. But the
subject evidently was very much
on Brynes' mind because he went
directly form the news confer
ence to the White House to dis
cuss with Mr.. Truman prepare
tons for the weekend talks.
In the case of Japan, Russia is
reported by allied diplomatic
authorities here to be standing
firm on her contention that ia
pan should be administered by
four power council in which the
United States would have, ac-
cording to Brynes, a dominant
voice.
The United States on the other
hand Is reported by informed
American officials to be hold
ing out for an agency in Tokyo
with about the powers which
Russia suggests but subordinate
to the far eastern advisory COM
mission already in session here
despite Russia's failure to send
a representative.

qualify as an operator of a one
man streetcar.
Mason, a graduate of Minneapolis
Central High school, is % years
old, married, and the father of two
children, Carol Jean, 81 years, and
John, five months: He also at
tended University of Minnesota.
Mason went into training as a
streetcar operator after he was laid
of at the Twin Cities Ordnance
plant where he drove an ammuni-
ton truck.
Sylvester Carter, 1852 Fifth Ave.
s., who started out as a night car
cleaner at North Side station, eight
years ago, is now a day repairman
at East Side station. Carter has
just completed a four-week course in
the mechanical operation and repair
of the new type streetcar just ap-
pearing on the streets.
From North Side station, he was
transferred to Nicollet station as
a general car cleaner, then to East
Side station as a mechanics helper;
from there he went to the Duluth
Avenue station in st. Paul as a
switchman. His next step up was
back to North Side as a night re-
pairman, and then finally to East
Side again as a day repairman. He
took each transfer when men with
more seniority than he had, refused
to change stations even when it
meant a promotion. He also works
extra duty as a substitute conduc-
tor. Carter is a graduate of Cen
trail High, married, and the father
of three boys.
Two weeks ago, Joe Danforth,
just discharged from the Army,
was put on at East Side station as
a cleaner.
Carter says he wishes more serv-
icemen would try to get openings
in large companies while the help
shortage is still critical, because
sooner or later these firms will
have to hire Negro employees, and
applying now while jobs are avail
able, will help bring about new in
dustrial opportunity.
