Byrnes Goes OnAirot10 For Report
 Asserts Progress
 Made in Difficult
 Road to Peace

Washington, July l5-tUP}-Sec- retary of States James F. Byrnes back from his third attempt to write peace treaties for Italy and Germans satellites, will report par tial success to President Truman and the nation today after nearly a year of Big 4" pickering.
 Brynes calls it some progress on the difficult road to peace-a contrast to the total failure and stalemate of the previous two at tempts by the Big 4" foreign min isters to draft peace treaties. The other two meetings ended in acri- monious accusations.
 MT. Truman has reserved as much time as Byrnes wants for a conference at the White House to- day. Since the President has kept in touch with developments in Paris by telephone, the two men presumably will begin planning for the 21-nation peace conference on July 29 They must agree quickly on delegates to represent the United States.
 Report Tonight
 Byrnes will deliver his report to the nation in a radio address to- night at 10 P. M, EDT, over the Mutual and American networks. He will explain the agreement reached in Paris through compromise, and call upon the American people to support them when he returns to the peace conference
 He probably will concede that he doesn't like some of the compro- misses himself-especially the one on Trieste. But he will point out that internationaliZation of that city will be great experiment and test for the United Nations and that the alternative to the compro- mise on Trieste, claimed by both Italy and YugoSlaVia, probably would be major clash between the two countries.
 Byrnes and his senatorial ad- visers-Tom Connally, D.-Tex) and Arthur H. Vandenberg (R.- Mich)-set out from Washington June 13 on their third attempt to write the satellite peace treaties They returned to Washington yes- terday in the Presidents personal plane, "The Sacred Cow" and were welcomed back by MT. Truman at the airport early in the morning
 Score on Objectives Given
 Byrnes had four major objectives when he set out for Paris month ago, the score" of which stands like this today:
 l. A PEACE CONFERENCE THIS SUMMER. This was agreed upon by the Big 4" with the opening session set for two weeks from today. Byrnes had threatened to throw dis puted issues into the United Nations assembly this Fall if a peace conference was not called.
 2. DRAFT TREATIES FOR ITALY, ROMANIA, BULL GARIA, HUNGARY AND FIN LAND. Sufficient agreement on these was reached to call the peace conference, although many tough details remain to be worked out at the confer ence and at subsequent Big 4 meeting. The major ques- tion appears to be whether Italy and Yugoslavia will accept Big 4" compromises on Trieste and on postponement of disposition of Italian colonies.
 3. A START ON AN AUS TRAN TREATY which would eliminate Russia's excuse for keeping occupation troops in Austria and the Balkans. Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov vetoed an immediate start on this task.
 4. AGREEMENT FOR MORE CO., OPERATION BETWEEN THE FOUR OCCUPATION ZONES OF GERMANY. Rus sia vetoed this, but the Big 4" made a big stride on this issue in preliminary discussions on German policy during which Molotov, for the first time, laid his cards on the table regarding Russias ideas for Germany's future.
