PARIS, Aug. 9.--The teTt OF
Secretary of State Byrnes' speech
to the Peace Conference today,
replying to Russian Foreign Min

They worked together. They fought
together. They died together. They
were friends and comrades fighting
in the cause of freedom.
Let us be friends and comrades
Let us work together for peace as
they fought together for freedom.
We, the leaders of the allied ma

of our sons and daughters who
risked their lives and gave theil
lives that freedom might live.
To make peace, we must be in
spired by the spirit of peace. We
must have the will to make peace
the will to achieve common under
standing.
The will to make peace and reach
common understanding does not
depend on any rules Of procedures.
This conference has been called tc

war the opportunity to express thell

All OF us agree that the final texts

Now why should we have this in

right of the nations which helped tc

making of the peace? Why shoule
we try to deny to the nations which

If the foreign ministers were con

Mcmillan of the House District
Committee declared yesterday in an

the largest amount in its history,
Mr.. Mcmillan said he believed that

Former Woman Skater FoiIs
HoIdup at Riverside Rink
Slams Down Window
As Two Threaten Her;
Suspects Seized

A 25-year-old expectant mother,
who gave up her job teaching figure
roller skating and dancing at River
side Stadium to become cashier of
the skating center, last night foiled
an attempt by two armed youths to
hold her up and summoned help so
quickly that police were able to
arrest two suspects on the scene a
few minutes later.
Mrs. Betty Bargmann, 2415 E
street NV, wife of a discharged
wounded veteran of the Italy cam
paign with the famed 10th Mountain
Division, told reporters she at first
thought the robbery attempt was
joke. The 5-foot 212 Inch former
professional skater, gave police the
following account of the holdup
attempt.
Shortly after the stadium's clos
ing time, at 1910 o'clock last night,
two ragged" young men who had
been lettering near the cashiers
cage approached her and one of
them said:
Thought II a Joke.
Hand it over. I could use some
of that"
Mrs. Bargmann, admittedly think
ing the whole thing was a prank,
showed the man a handful of nick
els and replied, That's all I've got"
(Actually. Mrs. Bergman told
police, two days receipts totaling
$4,000 was in locked safe be-
hind her and there was more
than $700 in the cash drawer
when the men approached)
The man then turned to his COM
panion and said:' "She thinks we're
kidding" The other man, Mrs.
Bargmann said, had his hand in his
pocket and showed the pocket up
on to the ledge of the cage with a
threatening gesture.
The cashier, with that, slammed
down the window of the cage and
called her employer, Layne Leoffler,
on the telephone, as he was in an
other part of the building. Mr.,
Leoffler summoned police and a
scout car from No. precinct ar
rived while the two men stood out
side the cage, talking in whispers.

GreenbeIt MANAGER
Refuses 10 Resiqn
In Personnel Dispute

James T. Gobbel, manager of the
Greenbelt community, said today
he will not resign, as requested by
Oliver c. Winston, general field Of
flee director of the Federal Public
Housing Administration.
Mr.. Gobbel told a meeting of
more than 100 Greenbelt residents,
called yesterday by Mayor George
D. Bauer to investigate rumors that
he was being ousted, that Mr.. Win
ston had given 'inefficiency and
lack of cooperation" as reasons for
requesting the resignation.
Mr. winston said today he would
make no comment on the situa-
ton.
Ordered to Cut Staff.
Mr.. Gobbel said the "inefficiency
and lack of cooperation" consisted
of a refusal to accept orders to
cut personnel without an argument.
He said Mr.. Winston ordered him
to curtail the Greenbelt operating
staff from 124 to Sc, to reduce all
project services and place employees
on a fve-day week.
He pointed out that during the
war 1000 emergency housing units
were added to the original 1886 units
at the project and that it would be
impossible to handle the increased
work load with a reduced staff. He
added that the community ended
the year with a 100000 surplus, so
the reduction was not an economy
measure.
Allen D. Morrison, Greenbelt
Council member, said 500 veterans
now are waiting for homes at
Greenbelt. He said there have been
more than 10000 vacancy days at
the project during the last six
months because there are not
enough painters employed by the
project to redecorate homes for new
occupants.
Only Six Painters Employed.
He said the number of painters
already has been reduced from Is
to six, and that these cannot pos
sibly turn out all the work re-
quired."
Twelve men had been used to tend
1877 oil burners and Is coal boiler
plants, the meeting was told, and
now the quota allotted the town is
5, working on a five-day week.
A resolution was adopted at the
meeting, attended by more than 100
residents, expressing confidence in
the community manager and indors-
ing his administration of town af-
fairs. A committee was named to
go "as high as necessary" to retain

you that Ernest F. Elmhurst, a
