were not permitted to enter the
Washington Navy Yard where
they boarded the vessel.
That subjects other than the
future use and control of atomic
energy, in whose development
they are partners, likely will be
gone into during the deliberations,
was strongly believed. President
Truman himself has said that Mr..
Attlee can bring up any subject
he wishes.
London dispatches told Of re-
ports the United States and Great
Britain already had agreed upon
creation of a joint committee to
deal with the question of Jewish
immigration into Palestine, but
that Attlee wanted to talk it over
with Truman.
The two also could talk of Anglo
American negotiations Of a loan
to Britain which has been the sub
ject of conferences here by Lord
Keynes. Is
President Truman set the key
note for the deliberations at a
state dinner last night in which
he said the talks were being ap-
preached prayerfully with the
hope of agreements and policies
which will make the United Ma
tons organization living, NOV
ing, active program.
In the same vein, Prime Minis
ter Attlee responded that what
we need most of all is univer-
sal foreign policy, a foreign policy
that is directed not to any imme-
diate aim of any particular coun-
try, but a foreign policy that is
conceived in the interest of all
the people of the world
. Mr.. Truman expressed the hope
that the United States Guild devel-
op a foreign policy which could
be regarded as that of its people,
irrespective of what political party
is in power, a situation he said is
true of the British.
Eben Ayers, acting White House
press secretary, said there would
be no statement tonight. After
talking with Mr.. Truman upon the
party's return to the White House,
Ayers told reporters there was
nothing he could say.
Ayers said the British Prime
Minister would move over to the
British Embassy from the White
House after breakfast tomorrow
and that he probably would re-
turn to the White House later in
the day for further talks, although
Ayers was not sure.
Ayers said Mr.. Truman was in
his usual good spirits after the
conference which covered several
hours.
When the delegation boarded the
Sequoia, Ayers said, they talked
on the after deck until it became
too chilly and moved inside. After
steak dinner, they talked from
around 2:30 pm. until 6 pm. and
had a pheasant supper. They then
sat around their table conversing
until the ship locked at 8:35 pm.
The four-hour trip down the Po-
tomac carried the party by his
toric Mount Vernon, home of
George Washington. Brig. Gen.
Harry H. Vaughan, the President S
military aide, said the visitors ex-
pressed much interest in Mount
Vernon.
