 The delegation position was sub ject to approval by Secretary or State James F. Brynes. However, the delegates were agreed among themselves that the interests of peace and security would be served best by 8 complete disclosure of the numbers and locations of American armed forces throughout the world.
 Has Demand in Agends
 The Soviet Union has placed on the provisional agenda proposal that details on all Allied troops stationed in non-enemy countries be disclosed.
 The American allegations posi- ton was that the Russians, in the interests of peace, also should publish details on their own troop dispositions. However, 1t was em- uhasized that the American dele gation attitude was not contingent on similar action by the Sovaes Union. American publication of troop dispositions would head off wnat was expected to be one of the most bitter battles in the current As- sembly meeting. Soviet Foreign Minister c. M. Molotov was sched- uled to speak later in day, and 1t IS believed he might renew Russlas demand for troop details
