Russia Shuns Peace Statute'' For Germany
(BY Jack Smithl

LONDON, (P)-RuSSia turned a diplomatic cold shoulder today on an informal American suggestion that the Allies impose an uncon- Ventional peace statute" on Ger many, foregoing a formal treaty.
 Ignoring the suggestion, a Soviet memorandum to the western mem bers of the four-power deputy for elgn ministers conference propoS- ed instead that the major powers draft formal treaty. sponsor a peace conference to approve it., and then submit it for ratification by the German State"
 Under the Soviet plan, the coun- cil of foreign ministers would write the final treaty text after hearing suggestions at an interna- tlonal conference of active bellig- erentS. The plan would be sub mitted to Allied nations who de- clared war but did not put forces in the field. Then it would go to the German state.
 The Soviet note said a peace conference should be called only "when central government is es- tablished which is recognized as suitable to accept" a treaty.
 American sources said a clarifi- cation of the memorandum would be sought.
 Poland and Greece, appearine before the deputies German and Austrian sections, made their ap- peals today for separations and peace guarantees.
 Poland estimated her material losses alone at S11,70O,OOO,OOO, or 36 per cent of the substance of our material wealth."
 Polish spokesman Stefan Wier- bloWski renewed Poland's claim to 10000 square miles of preWar Ger man territory along the Oder and Nelsse rivers. The Poles, admins tering the region under Potsdam agreement, have had consider able successes" there already, Wierblowski said, "in the field of economic and cultural life"
