except for these differences, Mr.
Byrnes said.
The Secretary emphasized that the
United States and Gen. Macarthur
still maintain the key role in spite
of the review provisions. because this
Nation can veto another nations de-
mand for a review. Thus any direc-
tive that might be questioned would
continue in force.
Mr.. ByrneS said he found there
was no dissent among the Allies that
the United States should have the
primary responsibility in Japan.
Australian Pressure.
The Secretary also told his con-
ference Britain and Australia had
exerted more pressure for greater
measure of responsibility in admin
istering Japan than had Russia.
Turning to other matters, Secre-
tary Byrnes also told newsmen that:
The last American troops have
left Iran, thus fulfilling this coun-
try's pledge to get them out by
January /. British and Russian
troops are due to quit the troubled
Middle East country March. 2.

ministers will resume in London

States. Assistant Secretary James
G. Dunn is Mr.. Byrnes' deputy.
Early Peace Farley Hope.
The cabinet officer hopes the
21-nation European peace confer
ence may be held we'll in advance of
the May l deadline.
Reports OF Louisville Publisher
Mark F. Ethridge on the Romanian
and Bulgarian Recommendations
to be critical-will not DE made
public. Secretary Byrnes said they
had been useful to him at Moscow
where agreements were reached
under which this country will recog-
nize broadened regimes.
Foreign Commissar Molotov will
not go to London for the first meet
ing of the United Nations Assembly
January 10 because he does not feel
up to the trip. A. Y. Vishinsky, Vice
Commissar for Foreign Affairs and
No. l Foreign Office trouble shooter,

Mr.. Byrnes was pleased at re-
ceiving "heartiest congratulations on
the splendid progress made at the

friend, former Secretary of State
Cordell Hull.
He also said Mr.. Truman was
greatly pleased at what he regarded
as the constructive work achieved
by the conference.

tire. The room was gayly decorated
with tremendous balloons hanging
overhead. together with silver and
red balls. The guests were furnished
with silver top hats and all were in
a festive mood.
In contrast, one of the most Sc
date spots in town was the Hotel
Statler's Embassy Room. While the
packed crowd there was plainly en-
joying itself, its mood definitely was
on the quiet side. Like all hotels,
with the exception of the Shore
ham, the Statler presented no spe-
cial New Year eve parties and OPP
Grated the Embassy Room on the
basis of any other night. How
ever, the room was decorated with
red roses and white carnations.
The reason for the general lack
of special parties was the hotels re-
luctance to meet the demands of
the walters union for $40 night
for walters employed by hotels
staging special events
Party at Carlton.
The accolade for the swankiest
party of the night probably should
go to the Carlton Hotels Congo
Room. Most guests there were in
evening dress and leaders of Gov
eminent and industry were pres
ent. Among the host of military
men there, the lowest ranks noted
were one Army captain and a Navy
lieutenant q. g..
Also Well-patronized were the
Wardman Park Hotels ballroom
and the Mayflower Hotels cocktail
lounge. Both were comfortably
filled, although tables could be OBJ
tanned shortly after midnight.
One of the most cheerful spots in
town was the ballroom of the Hotel
2400 where 300 members of Alco-
holics Anonymous and their wives
staged liquorless party. The
strongest thing to drink was punch
spiked with grapefruit and orange
juice. Some cynic passing the happy
scene suggested that the guests sing
Drink to Me Only With Thine
Eyes" He was ignored.
Night Clubs Orderly.
The scenes in night clubs we're
similar to that in hotel spots. Peo-
pie were gay and festive, but there
were no wild, exuberant celebra-
tons.
The Balalaika was the scene of one
of the most festive night club par

room to capacity and enjoyed tie

At the Troika, where every seat

din as midnight approached. AS in
all night spots, when midnight
came the lights were dimmed and
the crowd sang "Auld Lang Syne.'
After few minutes of kissing en-
sued the crowd went on to sing
other sentimental favorites.
There was a marked lack of con.
fetti at the night clubs and few
streamers.

Night Spots Quieter.
Both hotelmen and night club
owners reported that the celebration
fell below expectations, both in
business and in intensity. One vet
eran hotelman put it this way:
This has always ben a party town
especially on New Year eve. A lot
of people get together at their homes
and celebrate, rather than go out
and hit the night spots"
The volume of business done by
retail liquor stores yesterday seemed
to bear out this statement. Many
private parties in homes throughout
the city welcomed the New Year in
