TRUMAN SPEEDS
GROUP TOPARLEYY
Off To Paris To Try
For Peace Treaty
Again

WASHINGTON, June 13-(R -
With a solemn good luck' and a
light remark that he might go to
Paris himself, President Truman
Thursday sped Secretary of State
Byrnes off to a neW-and prob
ably final-attempt to settle the
peace of Europe in full collabora'
ton with Russia.
The remark about a trip to Paris
led newsmen to ask Press Secre-
tary Charles G.. Ross whether Mr.
Truman really goes intend to 60
there, the implication being that
he might meet Premier Stain and
Prime Minister Attlee.
President Joking
Ross said there was nothing to
that idea and that the President
was joking.
Senator Connally D.-Tex.), who
accompanied Byrnes along with
Senator Vandenberg (R.-Mich.),
issued a statement to warn any
nation or power that now plans to
subjugate the rest of the world
economically or politically or mill
tarily to look for Hitler's glory in
the depths of his bomb-proof shell
ter"
Connally's statement, issued
from his office after the departure,
said that unless the Paris meet
ing produces "a quick and definite
agreement on European peace
treaties it should "adjourn and call
a peace conference Of the 81 ma.
tons interested in these treaties.
About Try
Connally thus brought into the
open a determination of the Amer
lean delegation to make an all-ou1
try to come to an agreement with
the Russians and if unsuccessful
to seek other mean OF working

time he called.
Lease Indicated
Mrs. Jones also said Mrs. King
told her that the Security agent
had indicated her property would
be leased for a five-year-period,
subject to extension.
The five-year-lease report was
strengthened by Burke H. Bridgers,
aAolner land owner, who said
