Capt. Cobin's wife Mary, who ar

Capt. Goblin returned to his wife

81 Newsmen Attend
Opening Session Of
Paris Rules Group
BY me Associated Press

PARIS. July 31-The Paris peace
conferences Rules Committee be-
gan functioning with newsmen sit
ting as officially invited observers to-
day and only a little confusion
marked the historic step Never be-
fore had peace conference been
thrown open fully to newspaper re-
porters
The newSpapermen had one COM
plant. They were bit far from
the delegates themselves in the con-
ference hall
There were 81 reporters present
when the gavel fell. Others drifted
in quietly during the session. A
dozen photographers operated in the
room. They used rickety steplad-
der to manufacture vantage point
for taking pictures.
Restricted to End of Hall.
The correspondents were restricted
10 one end of the hall, where they
sat on gilded chairs on the same
floor level with the delegates. Nine
members of the Garde Republicaine
Frances ace police force, lined the
aisle leading to the green baize table
up front No amount of arguing
could get the correspondents past
that thin blue line
But Jean Marin, who is handling
press arrangements. said he hoped
to get the correspondents seated
right up in the arena, looking over
the shoulders of the Rules Commit
tee delegates themselves. He tried
before and was turned down, but
will try again, he said.
1t was hard to see the delegates
seated in their pink chairs around
the oval table, and only slightly
easier to hear them.
Pact Writing in Private Seen.
Although the world press will be
given full opportunity to report the
formal debates at the conference,
experienced diplomats say the final
peace treaties actually will be writ
ten by few leaders in a private
room.
Even leaders who subscribe most
thoroughly to this principle say
that only the naive would believe
that the delicate and often politi-
cally-eXplosive task of resolving in
ternational differences actually will
be done in public.
You can't get down to hard ne
gotiations with 500 people sitting
around" said a Canadian diplomat.
Nevertheless British Common
wealth leaders, like members of the
American delegation, believe that
free discussions freely reported may
help yield a democratic peace.
Hail Open Discussions.
But they say that when the
speeches are finished, when national
interests have been eXpounded-
principally for home consumption,
the real work of writing an accept
able compromise on any disputed
point will fall to a group of three
or four leaders working in private
as subcommittee
Veteran diplomats foresee, how
ever. a wholesome leavening inf
ence in wide-open discussions such
as were notably absent in the Paris
conference after World War l.
Leaders of the medium-size and
small powers say they hope the Big
Four will be drawn into debates to
thresh out their differences along
with the other II members of the
Peace Conference.
Strong sentiment is developing
within the British Commonwealth
and has the support of Prime Min
lister Athletic join with the United
States in seeking Big -Four accept
ance of conference recommended
tons as the peace talks proceed.
