Conference
Continued From First Page

Poland, Czechoslovakia. the Ukraine
and Yugoslavia
Mr.. ByrneS arrived in the cham
ber 81 minutes after the session
opened. He made pencilled notes
on his speech, typewriter on half
sheets. as points cropped up during
the English translation of the
previous speaker, Dimitri Manuilsky
of the Ukraine.
AS Mr.. Byrnes spoke, Mr.. Molo-
tov's personal interpreter poured a
rapid translation into the Foreign
Minister'S ear. At Mr.. Byrnes' ex-
clamation concerning loose and
wicked talk" Mr.. Molotov's fingers
drummed on his knee.
Kuzma Kisselov, leader of the
White Russian delegation, followed
Mr.. Byrnes.
Manuilsky Opens Session.
Mr.. Byrnes had been scheduled
to open today's debate, but he with
drew his name and then, after Mr.
Manuilsky spoke, changed his mind
a second time and took the floor.
Mr.. Manuilsky opened the session
with the assertion that the modi-
fed two-thirds voting rule adopted
by the Rules Committee was "a
fragrant contradiction" of the pro-
cedure suggested by the Foreign
Ministers Council and that used at
the San Francisco Conference.
The Ukrainian Foreign Minister
said the committee decision was an
attempt ito impose on one part of
the conference the will of another
part"
Mr.. Manuilsky said the decision
of Britain and the United States to
support the modified two-thirds rule
was "a very bad example which
could become contagious" and
would show it's effects in consider
alton of peace treaties.
Extreme Pressure Charged.
Mr.. Kisselov followed pretty
closely the line laid down by Mr..
Molotov, asserting that extreme
pressure had been brought to bear"
by the United Kingdom and the
United States in the Rules Commit
tee; that "discord" had been intro
duced into the conference to ''in-
fiuence public opinion" and that
IS ONE delegates" had made
speeches undermining confidence in
the conference"
He described the question of vot-
ing procedure as "the most impor-
tant before the conference" and as
serted "the White Russian delega-
ton cannot agree to the action taken
in committee that decisions can be
taken by simple majority and for
warded to the Foreign Ministers
Council"
Maurice Couve de Murville, French
delegate, appealed to the Russians
to accept the rules formulated in
committee, asserting that they could
not prejudice Soviet interests.
Vishinsky Complains.
Andrei J. Vishinsky, Russian dele
gate, arose soon after the afternoon
session opened and complained that
the agenda for the session had been
handed to the Soviet delegation only
few minutes before the chairman
called for order.
He also questioned the four SUBJ
jects slated for discussion.
why should We be compelled to
discuss these four and no others?'
he asked, adding that the organiza-
ton of the work of the conference
was very poor"
He complained further that he
had received no Russian translation
of the agenda.

said.
Denies Lack Of Organization.
Chairman Bidault said he wanted
Ito refute" the charge of any lack
of organization in the conference.
He apologized for the lateness of
the Russian text of the agenda and
said this situation would be i'm
proved.
After an hour of argument and
after British Delegate A. V. Alex
ander had described the time wasted
as "intolerable," the delegates ac-
cepted Bidault plan to start dis
cussing the four points on the
agenda along with a fifth proposed
by Russia entitled, Methods of Ap-
proving the Agenda."
The first point, a Yugoslav pro-
posal that states neighboring or
Axis countries be permitted to for
ward proposals to the Foreign Min
listers Council directly, was accepted
unanimously.
The second point, authorizing the
conference to invite other nations
to the conference, also was adopted
unanimously.
