The technicianS of the 46 nations on world organizations meet today in committees which will study va rious sections of the Dumbarton Oaks proposals and consider amendments. The committees will be the working bodies of the con- ference.
 Tonight is the deadline on sub mission of amendments to the pro posals drafted at Dumbarton Oaks. Scores of amendments will be in the hands of the secretary general by midnight and distributed to the appropriate committees for study.
 The big four held another meet ing last night in the penthouse apartment of Secretary of State Edward R. Stettinius. Jr., to study their respective amendments and seek, wherever possible, sufficient agreement to sponsor them jointly. No announcement was made Of their two hour session except for a report by four U. s. Senators who attended the meeting. They told the foreign ministers that the purpose of their trip here was to demand that America have full postwar control of all strategic Japanese Islands such as Two lima.
 The question of military bases Is intertWined with the proposal for territorial trusteeships which Will be written into the world organ ok o,+o A cnnPial tr11StpP- = ship subcommittee of the five per manent members of the proposed security council met last night to exchange views on the American plan which was submitted to the others Monday night.
 The British presented their ideas in a trusteeship plan. It was un- derstood to favor one type of con- trol over all dependent peoples areas whereas the United States provides for a dual type of control which would give the trustee pow CT absolute control in such Stra- tegic areas as the Carolines anc Marshalls.
 Despite the interest in amend ments, this conference Is still Pol | ish-consciouS. The absence of Pol. and hangs over the delegates like a cloud. And although the pros poets of a Polish delegation getting here before the conference ends i
 virtually nil, delegates would fee
 better if some progress toward solution of the controversy coult
 be revealed before Soviet Foreigl
 Commissar V. M. Molotov leave
 for Moscow - probably sometlm
 next week.
 Meanwhile, lines were beln
 drawn for an expected battle De
 tween the big powers on one ham
 and the so-called middle an smal
 powers on the other over amend ments to the Dumbarton Oaks pro posals. The middle and small nation are almost unanimous in some their demands for changes, but a of today they appear to lack leader Australian Foreign Minis ter H. " Evatt made a bid for tha role yesterday by outlining n. country's proposed amendment and arguing for special recognltlo of what he called security pow ers"-those capable and willing
 contribute to the security of tn world.
 Adamant Against Veto The middle and small power also are adamant against the vet that the big powers have allocate to themselves. There will be strong movement, led by Austra lia, to take away at least their vet over arrangements for peacetl
 settlements. Evatt said he thougf
 that part of the veto was a "coloi sal error" But he admitted tf necessity of a veto by the big pow CTS over economic sanctions an the use of military force.
 T'rusteeShips seem destined to I the most difficult job for the U. delegation to handle with the oth' ! countries. There are signs of COT \ flict on this not only with some the other big powers but the mlc dle powers as well. V, The U. S. delegation is in u
 difficult position of having, ait long discussion, reached a formu
 satisfactory to all departments 7 the American Government-esp
 cially the navy. Some fear that u } entire controversy with the na'
 will be resumed again if they a
 forced to make concessions to u
 other nations on the section Il
 volving so-called strategic areas.
