(BY Tom Williams)

PARIS, (P)-A gloomy atmos- phere pervaded both British and French quarters Saturday after a private conference between Ernest Bevin and Georges Bidault, prior to their second meeting late Sat urday with Soviet RuSsia's V. M. Molotov.
 French sources reported the preliminary meeting of the Brit ish and French foreign secretaries and one informant said:
 ''The success of the conference is in doubt"
 There were indications tha. he Russian position at Saturday af- ternoon's three-poWer SC on might be one of a continued re- quest for more information.
 Because of a news blackout inn posed by British request, official reports were scanty.
 Tass, official Societ news agen- cy, said the conferences fore. most task" was to "clarify the ac- tual meaning" of the Harvard uni versity speech June in which secretary of state George C. Mar shall offered United States help in rebuilding Europe's war wrecked economy. Some regarded this as a tipoff on the Russian attitude.
 A spokesman for the British foreign office reported the full agreement among the conferees to impose the news blackout and said it would not be lifted unless a ''leak" developed which would prejudice the rights of other news men.
 Purpose of the blackout he said, was to guard against public de- bate of controversial issues which would delay conclusion of the con- ference. He added that the en- phasis was on speed in view of the Continued on Page Five)

Rivers Rise To Near Record Mark

ST. LOUIS, (P)-New crests of the flooding Missouri and MissiS- sippi rivers rolled toward a june tion 20 miles north of here Satur- day as army engineers and thou sands of volunteers fought to save crucial levees in this highly indus trialized metropolitan area.
 Federal meteorologist Harry C. Wahlgren predicted the Mississip- pi, swollen by the advance waters of the Missouri, would crest early today at slightly over 39 feet and perhaps exceed" the 39.14 high water mark of 1944, second high est in weather bureau records.
 The record, 41.3 feet, 1l.3 over flood stage, was reached in l844.
 ST. LOUIS, (P)-The Mississip- pi river climber to a new 103- year record here today and U. s. army engineers warned that the battle for two remaining "critica'' levees in this area was "far from over" with another crest pouring down from the mouth of the Mis- souri river.
 A brief earthquake at 1l:25 pm. EST yesterday brought the threat of breaks to Watersoaked barriers holding back the river from thousands of acres of rich farmland on the Illinois side, but the engineers said no levees were reported damaged by the tremors which lasted about five seconds. 1 The Chouteau Island levee guarding 2,000 acres across from Mort St. Louis, broke at two points today but engineers said other barriers would keep water out of nearby Venice and Granite City industrial areas.
 Fresh appeals for volunteers were made by the engineers in their efforts to save dikes south of East St. Louis and 100 miles south at Chester, H., while hun dreds of persons were evacuated from their homes ahead of the flood.
 The river reached 39.3 feet here and Harry F. Wahlgren, chief meteorologist, predicted the stage would be 39.5 today.

Britain To Be Without Electricity

LONDON, (P) - Fuel minister Emanuel ShinWell said today Britain's overstrained ele c tr. < power system would break dow early next week because of an acute fuel shortage aggravated by bitter winter weather.
 He told the House of Commons the result would be that, begin ming Monday, no electricity would be supplied to any industrial con- sumer in London and southeastern area, or in the industrial mildands and the northwestern districts. The electricity supply to domestic consumers will be cut off from g am. to noon and from pm. to pm. daily, he announced.
 ShinWell said the labor govern ment hoped the curtailment-cer- tain to cause far-reaching disar- engagements in the nations exports program-would not last longer than three or four days.
 Hundreds of ocean-going ships were tied up in British ports by a government conservation order earmarking the dangerously low coal supplies for domestic con- sumption only. Domestic electric ity and gas rations already have been SlaShed.

Stassen And Taft In Verbal Battle
(By Marvin L. Arrowsmith)

WASHINGTON, (P)-Two lead ing COP Presidential possibilities for 1948 collided sharply today on labor legislation.
 Harold E. StasSen, an announced candidate for the top COP nomin- ation, went before the Senate la Dor committee and proposed a se- cret majority vote of workers as the last step before a strike.
 Committee chairman Taft R.- Ohio), whose name has been linked with Presidential talk, called Stas- sens suggestion trivial" and a lively exchange followed.
 Stassen told Taft that Eff you believe in the democracy of work CTS, you must have confidence" in a secret ballot.
 Taft argued that in such a vote the workers do not go against their leaders"
 Senator Ball R.-MinnO, who was appointed to the Senate by Stassen when the latter was gover- nor of Minnesota in 1940, criti- cized Stassen's proposal on the ground that majority vote re- quirement would be too drastic.
 Stassen countered that would also be true if Balls legislation to outlaw the closed shop were en- acted. By this he apparently meant that in an open shop, a smaller vote for a strike would suffice.
 Stassen opposed Balls bill to outlaw the closed shop and it's notifications saying it would re- strict the freedom of contract.
