British Hail Lamont Gift
To Restore Cathedral
By the Associated Press

LONDON, Feb. 5.-Announcement
that Thomas w. Lamont of New
York had donated 100000 toward
restoring Canterbury Cathedral was
acclaimed by the London press to-
day as new evidence of British
American friendship.
The Daily Telegraph said in an
editorial that mo palmer proof OF
the immutable bonds of common
heritage that tie the British and
American people could be wanted
than this magnificent gift"
The Times said the American
financier's gift was "an act of over
flowing generosity for which the
English people will be profoundly
grateful"
Canterbury Cathedral, begun ir
1910 and completed in 1903, was
damaged by bombs and incendiaries
during a German air raid on May
81, 1912. 1t is the mother church oi
the Anglican communion.
In letter to the Archbishop o1
Canterbury, MIR. Lamont said he wal
making the contribution entirely
unsolicited" as IAN evidence OF ths
good will that countless Americans
bear toward the British people"
In reply, the archbishop said in
letter he acknowledged the gift
with something more than graft
tude."

Austin and Gromyko
Confer Privately on
Arms Cut Question
by The Associated Press

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-Warren r.
Austin. chief American delegate,
and Andrei A. Gromyko of Soviet
Russia, principal antagonists in q
struggle over the best way to tackle
the arms limitation question, con-
ferred privately at United Nations
headquarters today.
Mr.. Austin and Mr.. Gromyko met
briefly. Then they went into q
closed meeting with four other dele
gates to the U. N. Security Coun-
Gil to thrash out the conflicting
views of Russia and the United
States on the approach to the arms
question. There was no indication
whether the American and Russian
delegates had made any progress
toward agreement.
The six delegates finally began
their meeting at 1880 am. at the
midtown Offices of the U. N. in the
Empire State Building. They
showed determination to stay in
session until they agreed on a plan
to put the arms reduction study
into motion.
Main Task to Seek Accord.
On the subcommittee were repre-
sentatives Of Australia, Belgium,
Colombia, France, the United States
and Soviet Russia. All except Bel
gian Delegate Fernand van Langen-
hove were named because they wrote
the five arms resolutions now before
the Council. Mr.. Van Langenhove
is Council chairman.
Although the delegates were ex-
pected to consider all five resolu-
tions, their main task was to seek
agreement between Russia and the
United States. The other resolu-
tions were offered originally as COM
promises, but were accepted by
neither the United States nor Russia.
At yesterdays Security Council
meeting, when the whole issue was
given a thorough airing, several
delegates expressed belief there
really were no major differences be-
tween the Soviet and American posi-
tions. This view was advanced by
Mr.. van Langenhove, British Dele
gate Sir Alexander Cadogan and
Australian Delegate Paul Hasluck.
Russians Fear Delay.
The main point at issue appeared
to be how to define the scope Of
work Of the proposed 11-nation COM
mission which will draft a general
arms reduction plan.
The United States took the posi-
tion that the Council should meet
as q committee of the whole to con-
slider the terms of reference of the
commission, while Russia argued
that this would mean q delay Of
possibly three months.
Cadogan said he failed to see
how it would make any difference
whether the terms Of reference
were drafted by the Council, in
formal session or sitting as a COM
mittee Of the whole, since in any
case the same representatives would
be present.
