Text Of Secret Pact
On kuriIes Reported
Due Tomorrow

The text of year-old secret Yalts
agreement giving Russia the Kurilt
Islands will be made public simul-
taneously in Washington, London
and Moscow tomorrow, Representa-
tive Hebert, Democrat of Louisiana
said last night.
Mr.. Hebert also said Secretary OF
State Byrnes had assured him there
were no other secret agreements
stemming from the Yalta Confer
ence.
Existence of the agreement pro-
viding for Russian acquisition of the
Kuriles and port and railroad con-
cessions in Manchuria, as well as
annexation of the southern half OF
Sakhalin, island north of Japan
was confirmed by Mr.. Byrnes in a
news conference January 20.
At the request of newspapermen,
he later sought Russian and Brit
ish agreement to make the pact
public.
Mr. Hebert, member of a House
Naval Affairs Subcommittee, which
investigated American defense base
needs in the Pacific, said he was
reasonably satisfied" with Mr..
Byrnes' assurances that there were
no other such secret agreements,
and with an accompanying expla-
nation as to why the Kuriles agree
ment was kept secret so long.
He said Mr.. Byrnes asserted that
the secrecy was imposed because
publication of the accord at the
time-it was signed February II,
1945-would have given the Japa-
nese proof of Russia's intent to en-
ter the Pacific war.
Mr.. Byrnes wrote Mr.. Hebert in
to suggestion that
search of White House and State
files be instituted i'm
to determine whether or
not any more secret agreements
exist.

Vishinsky's Daughter, Teacher
lnMoscow, Likes London Shops

During the war she spent her time
preparing students for duties as
judges, advocates and prosecutors
Her interest in criminal law, she
said, comes from her father, who
was public prosecutor at the Moscow
purge trials. She explained that
her vocation was not unusual in
Russia, since Russian women choose
the speciality they like"
Zena said she believed the expert
ences Russia, the United States and
Britain shared during the war had
brought them closer together. The
Russians, she said, watched with
great interest and sympathy the
hardships the English went through
and had an especial sympathy for
the struggles and sufferings of the
English women. She said she does
not know so much about the Amer
leans, but would like to know
more"
Russia and the English speaking
countries, Zena added, can achieve
a better understanding only if they
can learn each others languages.

u. 5. Launches Drive
For UN0 Trusteeship
Over Italy Colonies
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, Feb. 9.-The United
States has launched a drive for
four-power acceptance of its plan
for a United Nations trusteeship
over Italy's colonies and a minimum
of Italian ,reparations, officials at
the Deputy Foreign Ministers
Council said today.
The Americans are putting up
their arguments to Russian, French
and British representatives at the
council, who so far have shown no
enthusiasm for the idea. The Amer
leans contend that their obligations
under the United Nations Charter
require a disinterested, inter-na-
tional administration for the Italian
colonies and that it offers the only
prospect for a four power agree
ment which must be reached before
an Italian peace treaty can be
signed.
The American plan. first presented
at the Foreign Ministers Council in
September after Russia had ex-
pressed its desire to hold a trustee
ship over Tripolitania, was outlined
officially for the first time yesterday
by Secretary OF State Byrnes at a
press conference in Washington.
Britain, backed by the United
States, is fatty opposed to the Rus
sian request for an exclusive trustee
ship over Tripolitania-and the Rus
slams have shown no sign they will
give up their demand.
ROME, Feb. >9 (P).-Italian colo
nial Office quarters said tonight the
United States trusteeship proposal
for Italian colonies was unaccept-
able to Italy.
An informed source said the
American proposal was too COM
plicated" and that an administra-
ton in which so many nations par
ticipated would be impractical and
operate to the disadvantage Of the
colonies.
The source added that Italy was
not opposed to trusteeship for the
colonies, but desired that admins
tration of them continue in Italian
hands.

|FIareup Of t Star
May Give New Clues
To Atomic Energy
BIZ the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Feb. 9-The fareup
early today of an 80-year-old nova
may give scientists further clues on
how atomic energy works, Otto
Struve, director of the University
of Chicago's Yerkes observatory,
Williams Bay, Wise, said today.
The star, known as,"T," part OF
the constellation Corona Borealis,
remained quiescent from the time
of its original explosion in 1866 un-
til this morning, when it released
IAN enormous quantity of atomic
energy" DR.. Struve said.
Gases were rushing out at about
5000 miles per second" he de-
clared. Prom this explosion scien-
fists expect to discover further clues
on how atomic energy works"
Visible For Week.
The nova may not be visible for
more than a week, he added. DR..
Struve said the star was sighted at
2:30 am, without telescope aid.
by Armin Deutch, %, assistant in
the university's department of as
tronomy, and verified by photo
graphs taken through the observa-
tory,s 40-inch reflector telescope.
The Harvard Observatory at
Cambridge, Mass, and Britains
Royal Observatory at Greenwich
also reported sighting the nova.
The Harvard Observatory said the
star was a member of a rare class
called "recurrent novae" and could
best be seen with the naked eye
after midnight.
The British Observatory said cer-
tain stars occasionally flare up to
great intensity, but that it was
very unusual" to find such fare
up repeated in the same star.
Now In Third Magnitude.
A nova Is a star which suddenly
flares up, then fades away to it's
former magnitude after a lapse Of
weeks or months. The nova 'T"
now is in the third magnitude, DR..
Struve said. Dr. Struve said Nc
Donald Observatory at Fort Davis,
Tex, would begin observations of
the star tonight.
1--WE don't know whether the star
will still be bright tonight" he said,
but if it is, Mcdonald Observatory
will take photographs by a specto-
graph attached to the observatory's
|82-inch rejecting telescope"
DR.. Gerard Kuiper, professor OF
astrophysics at the University Of
Chicago, is in charge of Mcdonald
Observatory, which belongs to the
University of Texas and is operated

four years passed in strenuous work
OF the Soviet people in the fulfill
ment of the third five-year plan"
Then came four years of war,
Premier Stain continued, declaring
"it would be incorrect to think that
the war arose accidentally or the
result of the fault of some of the
statesmen.
Although these faults did exist,
the war arose in reality as the in
evitable result of the development
of the world economic and political
forces on the basis of monopoly
capitalism. "'*
Two Hostile Camps Rise.
"The uneven development of the
capitalist countries leads in time to
sharp disturbances in their relations.
and the group of countries which
consider themselves inadequately
provided with raw materials and
export markets tries usually to
change this situation and to change
the position in its favor by means
of armed force.
GAS result of these factors, the
capitalist world is sent into two
hostile camps and the war follows
Perhaps the catastrophe of war
could have been avoided if the pos
sibility of periodic redistribution of
raw materials and markets between
the countries existed in accordance
with their economic needs, in the
way of co-ordinated and peaceful
means.
But this is impossible under the
present capitalistic development of
world economy. Thus as a result
of the first crisis in the develop
ment of the capitalistic world econ
omy the first World War arose.
The Second World War arose as a
result of the second crisis
Red Army Victorious"
Premier Stain said the Allied
victory implies that it was the
Soviet armed forces that won. Our
Red Army had won. The Red Army
y . routed completely the armies
OF our enemies and, emerged vic
toriously from thef war. This is
recognized by everybody-friend
and foe"
Crediting the United States and
Great Britain for their aid in win
ming the war, Premier Stain said
that "a coalition of the United
States of America, the Soviet Unien
and Great Britain played decisive
role in defeating Nazism."
Before the war, he continued, au-
thorities abroad had said the Red
Army was poor, useless for the Of
fensive.
Nov we can say that the war has
made these statements look ridicu-
lous. The war has shown that the
Red Army was not colossus with
feet Of clay, but a first class modern
army with completely up-to-date-
armament, the most experienced
commanders and high morale and
combat qualities"
But, he went on, armies must have
and Russia before entering
the war already possessed the mini
mum supplies necessary for satisfy
ing, in the main, all these require
ments.
''The preparation of this enormous
task involved the carrying out of
three five-year plans of national
economic development. 1t is pre-
cisely these three five-year plans
that helped to create these material
poSitionS"
