PARIS, Oct. Field Marshal
Jan Christian SmutS, South At
rican Premier and elder states
man, today called on the Peace
Conference to put an end to a
rising wave of fear that the
world is splitting into opposing
eastern and western camps.
He said he did not believe that the
Slavic and western powers had come

told the plenary conference, as it
embarked on three final days of
discussion ON the Italian treaty. that
the fear is spreading and that un-
less it is allayed parting of the
ways may actually take place.
This fear of our splitting up into
two camps transcends all other is
sues at this conference" the vener-
able empire statesman declared.
"* The real friendliness is OBJ

danger is that the illusion, If allowed
to persist, may become the fact, he
added.

CLEVELAND, Oct. 7.-Presi-
dent Truman was praised today
by the United Lutheran Church
in America in resolution
adopted at its 18th biennial
convention for his assurance to
a group of representative church
leaders that "the appointment

Truman, presented by DR. Karl w.
Kinnard, president Of the South
Carolina Synod, also noted that the

any early date, but certainly with
the signing of the peace treaties. y
It was adopted by the 564 delegates,
including representatives from Cam
ada, Alaska and Hawaii, to the con-
vention.
Resolution Is Substitute.
Today's recommendation was a
substitute for a resolution passed by
the Maryland Synod, to which the

last May by the Rev. l.. Ralph

Union Leader Sees

After FIoreup. but
New Recess Threatens
BY the Assoeioted Press

Government conciliators, spur

diction that a settlement may
be near, pressed their efforts
today to end the week-long
maritime tieup.
Capt. Harry Martin, president of
the AFL Masters, Mates and Pilots,
told newsmen in New York last
night that things look more favor
able than at any time since negotia-
tions started
He said an agreement might be
reached by nighttall but cautioned
that if the stalemate runs through

ton may leave the Capital.

the deadlock over wages and union
security for AFL deck officers and
CIO engineers.
Dealing with the unions are the
East and Gulf Coast operators, on
the one hand, and the West Coast
carriers, represented by the Pacific
American Ship owners Association,
on the other.
In the middle is the Maritime
Commission, which holds the bal
ance of power in the merchant ma
rine because so many vessels are
Under its contract.
Labor Department conciliators
said today the parties are not too
far apart on wages, but that the
issue of hiring only union masters
and engineers still is formidable
barrier.
Developments Listed.
Hopes for settlement, in the opir-
ion of some Government officials,
rest on these possible developments:
/. A split agreement by the East
and Gulf Coast operators. Up to
now the unions have insisted on a
national agreement which would
apply on the Pacific Coast as well.
The West Coast operators have
baked at granting the unions pref
erential hiring of the men who run
their vessels. A possible compromise
excluding the master and the chief
engineer on each ship, has been
under consideration
2. The Maritime Commission may
yet agree to put into effect on all
ships the Government owns on the
West Coast the terms of any agree
ment made between the unions and
Atlantic Coast operators.
The East Coast operators have
been reported willing to grant pref
Ierence to union men in hiring deck
