No Pairs" Will Be Allowed.
Senator Taft held that their pres

But taking no chances, the Repub-
1icans decided that no pairs" vii

Under the pairing procedure, 6
Senator who is present sometimes
refrains from voting in pair
with an absent Senator who woulc
votet the opposite way. In view Of
the tWo-thirds majority required tt
override the veto, Democrats wanted
two Republicans to pair with Sena-
tor Wagner and two more to pail
with Senator Thomas.
From the Democratic side, Sena-
tor Pepper conceded that, as of last
night. the supporters of the bill had
slight edge in votes, but he added
Our hope is that the President s
veto message and this discussion
in the Senate will make the coun-
try more aware than they have been
of the dangerous character of the

. Senator Pepper indicated that his
side is counting on last-minute ap-
peals to Senators from constituents
opposed to the bill.
Senate Galleries Filled.
The filibuster provided an added
attraction TO the sights of Washing
ton for week end visitors and sea-
soned followers of the Capitol scene.
The galleries were filled all day as
Senator Morse approached, but did
not quite equal endurance records
set in earlier f1libusters. He dis
played remarkable stamina, how
ever, speaking extemporaneously
and on some phase of labor rela-
tions most of the time.
He had stacks of books on his
desk, but he used them only to
lean on, to relieve the strain on his
feet, and not to read from mono
tonously, as fllibusterers sometimes
do.
There was not a quorum call to
give him a breathing period. after
he took the floor, long before most
Washingtonians had their break
fast. He yielded occasionally for a
question, buv this gave him no op-
portunity to sit down.
Other Performances Recalled.
His performance recalled these
notable instances from the past:
The late elder Senator LaFollette
of Wisconsin held the floor for Is
hours and % minutes on May %
and 80, 1908, on the Aldrich-Vree-
land Currency bill.
The late Senator Huey Long
Democrat, of Louisiana, held the
floor for Is hours and 35 minutes
in 1885 on extension of the Nationa,
Recovery Administration. one OF
the first New Deal agencies.
The late Senator Smoot, Republi-
can, of Utah. set a record for con.
tinuous oratory in 1915, when hi
talked for II hours and Is minute;
without the breathing spells that
are provided by quorum calls.
In this most recent talkathon
Senator Taylor held the floor fol
hours and 20 minutes, from Fri.
day evening until 3:15 am. yester.

American and British Arms
New York Times

Several left-wng members of the British House of Commons have recently denounced the informal consultations which have been in between the British Army and the subject of a standard ization of military equipment One member believes that result of these consultations Britain stands in danger of becoming a American aircraft car rier off the coast of Europe" Another declares that behind the plan for standardization there already in existence secret military pact between the two countries
 Our State Department has made declaration of policy which puts this matter in perspective There has been secret military pact. There will be none. It not the policy of the United States to enter into alliance with other individual nations. Commitments of the United States to the United Nations Such consultations have taken place with Britain on the subject of standardization of equipment natural and logical consequence of intensive wartime efforts in this same drection-efforts undertaken when con- alterations of economy nj the of available resources of the utmost importance-and the same con- alterations of economy still apply.
 No pact" is called for, in matters of this kind. No threat of any kind to any other nation is intended which has been demonstrated in two vast destructive wars that Britain and the United States are like minded democratic nations whose interests overlap and interlock at a hundred different points. From one point of view it is proper it is inevitable that American military policy should be based upon that premise From the British point of view we should think that people who have waited in agonizing sus pense for American aid during the early stages of great wars and then found that aid when at last forthcoming delayed and crippled by lack of just such standardization as is under consideration, would find the present consultations reassurng rather than disturbing.

Cincinnati Enquirer
 The incident at Dairen is an unfortunately timed commentary upon the practical aspects of Soviet policy afield-u unfortunately because it the heels of evidence of increased Russian friendship or at least cvility in the higher level of diplomacy
 We don't know whether the ordering of U s. Navy ship from the port of Daren on 2O-mnute ultimatum represents well-cacuated gesture on the part of the Soviet not Probably not, although 1t doubtless is in keeping with the overall picture of Russian "toughness" in the Manchurian sphere. We find it rather difficult to believe that Soviet military commander in charge of important a holding as Dairen would act in that matter against an American naval group unless he fairly well knew where he stood with Moscow. and that such sternnesS would not be punished. We say that in the expectation that the incident will ultimately be explained bit of oyerzealousness the part of the commander.
 Overzealousness is not unknown among Russian military commanders and personnel of course Theyre nnatey rough tough and prone to suspicion in their international contacts unless specifically instructed to the contrary But. point is it might help impe- men accord in the highest levels of diplomacy if the word passed down the line that the everyday contacts between Russians and Americans not to handled a basis of restrained hostility.

of the Soviet Foreign Minister
 Byrnes, however surmised what probably was true namely, that Mclotov was acting under instruc- tons from Moscow w-instructions to make the peace negotiations as dif- ficuli as possible.
 Despite Molotov's pin-pricking, however, he and Byrnes continued the social amenities and once every week CT so they dined togeth- er--a very small dinner attended cnly by their two interpreters, Paw .ov and Chip Bohlen, and their two chief advisers, Ben Cohen and Vice Comnissar Vishinsky.
 Nasty as Molotoy was during the early days of the Conference, his ,iastiness increased toward the end. Finally as Byrnes gave his last din- ner to Molotoy and it was the lat ter'S turn to return the invitation the usually punctiliouS Molotov did not do so. This Byrnes interpreted as a sign that things were getting even worse.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1947-01-18
THE LAST DINNER

Finally. Molotoy proposed that all negotiations be terminated by the next D. snt. and simultaneously in- vited ByInes to dinner on the clos ing night-a clear indication that ae didn't want to expose himself to 3yines' contagious charm before staging his last burst of tempera- mont at the wind-up of the Paris Conference.
 The last session closed at 930; 90 Byrnes and Molotov did not sit down to dinner until 10 pm. And as the two tired statesmen relaxed over their brandy, Byrnes said to the man who had so bitterly oppos- cd him:
 Why didn't you tell me at the start there were certain things you couldn't discuss2 It's obvious that you have instructions hot to dis cuss certain points Why didn't Jou tell me so? Instead you have called us names, wasted a lot of ime and got everybody mad. If you had told us that you couldn't disc.ss certain things, we wouldn't nave bothered you"
 That's a good idea, replied Mol o,oy, still unbendinc.
 But later, as the Russian mel lowed a bit more, Byrnes approach d him again.

 Since Trieste was the heart of the entire Italian treaty. this look ed like the end. Next day, however, Yugoslav delegate Kardelj came to sec Dyrnes and suggested compro- mise. Byrnes listened carefully but found that the compromise was ali in Yugoslavia's favor He replied that it was unacceptable.
 Don't you want treaty?' asked the puzzled Yugloslav
 No" replied the Secretary of State We have given up all thought of treaty. You walked out on us yesterday and since then we have given up any idea Of sign ing treaty.
 We have talked it over with the Italians" Byrnes continued, and they are quite agreeable to waiting untll next year. Next year they say they1l be stronger and will be able to take care of the situation by themselves.

Russia's claim would be a point for discussion, countered Byrnes. President Roosevelt made that very clear. And later, at Potsdam, we wasted a lot oi time debating that and Truman and Stalin final ly agreed this was to be only point for discussion.
 The Secretary of State then ask cd Molotov what other backstage motive lurked behind Russia's dis agreeable tactics at the Paris Con- ference.
 w hat else do you want?" he in- quired.
 The Ruhr," replied Molotov
 Again Byrnes said no.
 It was on this very sour and ne- gative note that the Paris Confer cnce closed. Neither side had budg- ed an inch and behind the Soviet policy of studied iiisults, it was ob- vious they were aiming at import ant economic goals.
 It was in this same atmosphere tha, the Big Four conference talks first began in New York. Only sig rificant development between Paris and New York was Molotov's quick rip back to Moscow, where it was reported he got fresh instructions from the Politburo. What those in- structions were nobody definitely FnoWs, though it was believed the friendly advice Molotov received rom Byrnes during their dinner in Paris may have been relayed back 10 Moscow and sunk home.
