 Secretary of state James F, Eyrnes tried to maintain the f-iena- ay mood by SuggeSting last night poStponement of the reparaEionS issue until today so the ministers could pArtake of the typical Amess- can custom of turkey eating.
 The Bie Four accepted ByTaeS suggestion but only after Moloeov. who had cracked Jokes throughout the meeting, got of the beS crack of the conference by saying; 'Oksg, but Turkey was not on the agenda for today whereas reparatl0nS were" IL was the closes, anyone has come an nearly four weeks here So mentioning the Dar6enneS.
 Preparations were one of the most bitterly Contested issues of the Paris Peace Conference and probably vii not be easily settled here. The Soviet Union wants to reduce the separations bln for its Balkan friends ana st the same time to in crease the take" for Nueoslavia from Italy.
 Row the RSnS Read
 AS Recommended hy the Paris Conference. the separations hlllS for the satellite countries would be aS follows
 Etaly-sloo 0oo!eOe for the USSR. Unanimously agreed to al Paris :: sl00.00000o each for vugoslax1a and Greece. S2S.00o.eoe for Es.hiopia. Russia seeks more for Yueoslsxas and also some for Albania.
 Romania - $500 .000. 600 10 the uSSR.
 Buagarsa = ssasOOoOe each sO Greece and TugoSlavia.
 Hungary $200 GOO. 600 ao the USSR- and S5oN00.00o each no C2ech0Slovalia and Yaeoslavls. The United States wants 10 reduce ehis amount crRStlcallv.
 Finland $500 000. 600 to the CS.SR.
 Beysn Raises Oaa Issue
 Once the Big Four agree on rep arations, a final settlement should not be c11acGllt 70 attain. But there Sf1l are many issues on which a aaSt-minate deadlock is possible.
 British Foreign Minister Ernest Bev1n raised an old lSSue-bu. new st this SeSsion-at last night meet ing by demanding insertion ct clause in the Romanlan treaty for Ea1r prices" so American and Brit aSh oil companies for petroleum 6onght ey R0mAnia to use as rep arataons so RaSsaa.
 Bevin salc he had received new instructions fron London only ves- seroay morning to re-raise the issue But Molotov brushed him of Rooc- hnmoredly by q1ippane: Oh. I've s0t a whole P0cke1fEl of ias1-nc- tons"
 Another BeTin-AGol0tov taSSle is 1n prospect before details of the Danube compromise are reached. There is agreement in principle that #]ae TAasaaa}Ms -A. R- 0f equality to all nations for coz- mercaal purposes. and that event. uAhy there should be a conference of Danubian states plus the Biz Four 10 establish a new interna1lon- al regime for the Danube.
 Agrees To Conference Idea
 The Paris Peace Conference vot- ea over strenuous Soviet bloc objec- ez0ns 10 include these two points in ehe Balkan treaties. On Thanksgir- 1ng eve Molotov agreed to the con- Terence idea if it were made a four power statement instead of being included in the treaies. Last night ne agreed to the principle Of free navigation on the same conditions.
 Byrnes accepted MOlotov's text on 1ree navigation of the Danube but Insisted that that principle be sn me treaty. He offered to keep the conference plan out oc the treaties. Molotov is going to think oyer the Byrnes offer.
 But Molotov and Bevin then en- gagged m an argument reminiscent q the Paris Peace Conference Greece. BeYin appealed for inclu- saon of Greece in the Danubian River conference even though the x1per does not touch or pass through ner territory. He argued she was vatally interested in shipping in the area and that she was a signatory of pre-war Danl1bian conventions.
 Molotoy. continuing to bristle at each mention Of Greece. in effect said nothing doing" And then with a reported smile he reminded 5evin that the Paris Conference
