IRA Leader Keeps Fost
 Expects to Die
 In Three Days

Belfast. May B. (UP) = David Fleming, imprisoned IRA leader, muttered feebly today that he ex- poets to die within three days, but he again refused to break his hun ger strike that famed Irish political tension.
 Fleming drifted into coma periodically, but rallied for a few minutes at time to look up from his iron cot in Belfast Prison and shake of family pleas to eat. He was on the 49th day of his hunger strike against treatment of IRA prisoners.
 He whispered through cracked lips to his sister Ellen that he be- lieved he would be dead within three days. Persons who had seen his shrunken, almost motionless body wondered if he could live that long.
 Fleming's strike and 8 similar one by Sean McCaughy at Maryborough Prison in Fire, stirred the entire Irish people and raised increasing threats of repriSalS if the men died. Bodyguards were assigned to Northern Ireland cabinet ministers to protect them against possible re- prisals.
 The government of Northern Ire land held unswervingly to its refusal to reclassify Fleming as political rather than a criminal prisoner, which would clear the way for pos sible release later. He was serving a 12-year sentence for treason and felony.

Europe, Hungry and Battered Marks. VIZ Day With Mediocre Military Show and Ceremonies

Berlin. May 8 - (UP) - The first anniversary of the official VIE Day today found Europe hungry and battered. giving slight heed to the emotions of year ago.
 Little glossy military show and few public ceremonies comnnemorated the end of a struggle that swayed from the gates of Moscow to the skies of London, and from the Arctic Circle to the Sahara Desert.
 Everybody wanted to forget
 the war. 1t was big enough Job
 just trying to live.
 Late on May 8, 1945, Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel, German chief of staff, signed his armies into oblivion in the Berlin headquarters of Soviet Marshal George K. zhukov before 8 delegation of American. British, French and Russian military lead- CTS.
 The next day Grand Admiral Karl Doenitz issued the final German cou1fnunilue. It told every soldier to lay aside his weapons proud and erect and .:set to work in these

Egypt Plan Draws Fire
 ChurchilI's s Censure
 Proposal Defeoted

London, May 8-(UPl The Brit ish governments plan for an Anglo Egyptian military alliance and grad ual withdrawal of British forces from Egypt drew fire today from opposition groups in both countries 1, Winston Churchill and the Con- servatiVe Party called the plan a radical and reckless policy endang- ering the British position in the Middle East. The disSident Waf- dist bloc in Egypt attacked the pro- posal as inadequate and condemned any Egyptian ties with Britain.
 The Russian radio publicized the Egyptian opposition by broadcasting a TaSs Cairo dispatch quoting one Egyptian paper to the effect that such an alliance would annul the effect of the evacuation"
 Premier Attiee's government won Commons approval for its policy last night when Churchill,s vote of cen- sure was defeated 327 to 158.
 The plan drew official Egyptian approval, too. Foreign Ministee Ahmed sLufti Elsayyed Pasha said in Cairo, T am pleased with, the British evacuation communique, and every Egyptian should be pleas 'ed with it."

JUS. Hos 'Ace'
 In Information IOf Soviet Work

New York, May 8-(UP)-The United States holds "book" of se- cret documents about alleged So- viet interference in Trans internal affairs. But it will not offer them as evidence to the United Nations Security Council when it meets to- day-without the Soviet delegate present-to decide whether to drop the Iranian case.
 The existence of American evil dence to support Trans original charges against Russia was learned from high authority few hours before the Council reconvenes Cat 3 P. M, E. D. To for the first time in nine days.
 Ostensibly, the meeting is to hear reports about Russia's promised evacuation of Iran by last Monday. The Russians appear to have left on schedule. But the prospects were that all the Council will have when 1t meets will be:
 1.-Iranian Ambassador Hussein
 Alas qualified report. His gov- ernment has been unable yet to confirm reports that the Russians have marched out of the northern
 province of Azerbaijan.
 "A continued rebuff by the
 Soviet Union of the Councils re- quest for report on May 6 that
 all Russian troops had left Iran.
 Soviet delegate Andrei A. Gromy- ko already has served notice that he will not participate in any furth- CT Council discussion of Iran. To- days Council agenda lists only the Iranian question.
 Ala submitted preliminary re- port to the Council Monday night. But in it he repeated Trans original charges of Russian interference in Iranian internal affairs, and con- tended that because of Russian s'in- references" in the northern prov irce of Azerbaijarl his government was llpahle, tod deteE1nine whethe, Russian forces were out of all oi Iran.
 American officials said the Soviet government is aware of the U. S. black book" about activities of So- viet officials and troops in Iran and that it does not want it made pulp lie. These same officials credit Am- erican possession of the details of Soviet incidents in Iran as partly responsible for Russia'S reversal of tactics in Iran and her eventual de- cision to pull out of that country.

MoIotov Objects To Paris Peace PoFIey June IS

Paris, May 8A(UP) Secretary of State James F. Byrnes proposed to the Foreign Ministers Council to- day that the already delayed Paris Peace Conference be set for June IS, but no decision was reached.
 Soviet Foreign Commissar V. M. Molotov objected at once to the Byrnes proposal for opening the peace conference the middle of next month.
 Molotov observed that the draft of peace treaties with Italy and the former Axis satellites must be com- pleted first. There was no sign that any such drafts would emerge from the present conference of foreign ministers, which was: hurrying to- ward early adjournment.
 The ministers of the United States, Great Britain, Russia and France met at Il A. M. 6 A. M. EDT) and adjourned at 20 P. M.
 The session, over which George Bidault of France presided, was de- voted largely to hearing expert re- ports on Italian separations. ; But there was no sign that the ministers drew any closer to an agreement On the Italian and Balkan issues. The Solid deadlock on them threat cred to break up the conference. The ministers, now skipping from subject to subject without any ex- pectation of major decisions on any of them, did not get to a scheduled discussion of Germany. That topic was left on the program for tomor- row.
 The ministers were expected to review a British draft plan for re- organization of the Ruhr and Rhineland. France has been de- manding separation of this area from Germany. .s

Nesotiotors Still Bound in Secrecy ,

Negotiators seeking settlement oi the 94-day American Brass Com pany strike went into an afternoon session at 1:30 today. Company offi- cials and the union committee re- sume dtheir parleys after a lunch con recess following a morning meeting that lasted from 9:3O until a few minutes before noon.
 Spokesmen for both sides remain ed pledged to secrecy, and hopes for early agreement continued to be based mainly on continuance of steady negotiations. Company repre- sentatives and union committeeman representing A.B.C. strikers in Wa terbury, TorTington and Ansonia have been meeting daily since Fri day. U. &. Conciliator Walter A Maggiolo succeeded in arranging the latest peace conferences after three previous attempts at settle ment had failed.
 Unoficial indications were that progress had been made yesterday and today and that prospects were at least 8 trif1e brighter as this afternoons barley began.
 Wage negotiations here will have representatives of A. B. C., strikers at Buffalo, N. Y, and Detroit, Mich. taking part, though other contract clauses will be negotiated separately in those cities. The chairman oi the United Auto Workers unit al the American Brass plant in De- troit, Thomas Canter, began sitting in on the local parleys yesterday Connecticut strikers and those at Buffalo are represented by the C. I. o. Mine, NH & Shelter Work CTS Union.
 The barometer of optimsim as to a settlement developing from the current negotiations has risen and fallen at almost regular intervals since Friday. Signs after this mornings meeting were that hopes were a trifle better, though it seemed likely that much of the bargaining during the last six days has been on a tentative basis, with offers subject to withdrawal.

City to Contest Clubs Validating Bill Not True
RY JAMES M. MOORE

State Capitol, Hartford, May S~..s As the 2 F. M heafing befora the Finance ComInittee on WaterhuFy,S validating bills opened today it was | indicated by fep0ftS mat the city authorities may contest the Council of Community Clubs bill as not be- ing true validating act.
 It is said to be the plan of
 city representatives to point out
 that the Community Clubs bill
 seeks to establish a procedure r for assessments in Section ls
 and then in Section seeks val-
 idation of this procedure.
 City authorities therefore may claim that the legislative agenda calls for hearing on Waterbury validating act, arguing therefore that the Councils bill is not true validating act and therefore should not be considered.
 It cannot be determined at pres- ent what will be the Finance Com mittee's reaction to such 8 protest. It seems likely that the committee will consider it as matter of tWo- way interpretation and will permit the Councils bill to be heard.
 The administration bill,. in-
 cidentally, is 8 true validating
 bill, says the city. because t
 seeks validation of the measures
 previously passed by the Gen.
 eral Assembly.
