u. 5. 10 Forego Effort
TO Obtain Veto Power
|At Danube Conference
By the Assoeio.sd Press

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, July
30.-The United States disclosed
today it's decision to forego any
attempt to obtain veto powers in
the 11-nation conference on
control of Danube River ship
ping.
Ambassador Cavendish Cannon,
chief United States delegate. toid
a news conference that I'VE are 60
/ ing to be consistent" on that point,
even though the western powers
are outnumbered at this Belgrade
conference. Most of the II confer
ring nations are in the Russian
orbit.
Andrei Vishinsky, deputy Soviet
foreign minister, headed the Rus
sian delegation.
! Mr., Cannon expressed cautious
hope the conference would succeed
in opening the key waterway OF
Central Europe, on which thousands
of barges now lie idle and empty.
Communists Have Majority.
The conference itself begins late
today, the initial meeting being
devoted to organization. The United
States, Russia, France and the small
countries through which the Danube
flows are represented. Austria has
no vote. The Communist countries
thus have a two-thirds majority If
they act as they have in other inter-
national meetings as unit.
Mr.. Cannon made the American
position clear. He said the United
! States, as one of the occupying
powers OF Germany which has a
direct interest in the Danube, must
insist on sharing the future admin
istration. He added the same ap-
plies to Austria if that country. still
awaiting a peace pact, Is denied a
voice in the conference decisions.
Belgrade, its streets scrubbed
table clean during the night and
bright with flags and bunting, pre-
sented an almost festive appear
ance. But beneath that surface
teemed tense alertness to the po-
tentialities of a tug of war between
the East and West, and differences
within the Communist-dominated
bloc itself.
Conference Stakes High.
The stakes for the conference are
high. On its outcome hinges the
question of free movement through
much of Eastern Europe's trade
and whether the big barges can, as
they did before the war, plow the
waterway with foodstuffs from its
fertile basin for the West and with
vital machinery for the East.
The economic issue had its politi-
cal overtone. The conference will
begin only two days after Yugo-
slavia's Communist Congress backed
up Premier Marshal Tito in his
dispute with the Cominform.
Every one here is asking:
What is the meaning of the
Cominform poWerhouse that is at
| tending the conference?
Among representatives Of this
powerhouse besides Mr.. Vishinsky
are Romanian Foreign Minister
Ana Pauker. strong woman" of the
Balkans; Foreign Minister Vladimir
Clements of Czechoskovakia and

35-HOUR WEEK-The various
postal unions apparently really
mean busine1S in pressing for q
35-hour work week.
They have persuaded Chairman
LANCER of the Senate Civil Service
Committee to insert this provision
in a postal classification revision
bill he is expected to introduce
next week.
All this has great significance fol
all other Federal employees. If the
postal workers win a 35-nour work
week, it would be logical that the
rest of the Federal service be given
shorter work week.
OF course. there's no chance that
the postal 35-hour r-a-week measure
can win approval during the special
session. And the odds are heavily
against its passage during the next
few years.
But the postal groups, who have
a lot of political influence on Capt.
tol Hill, have decided that the
shorter work week is their next
major objective in the years that
lie ahead. If they are successful
1t cannot help but benefit other
Federal employees as well.

JOB TROUBLES-Job seekers at
the new Economic Cooperation Ad-
ministration are finding that getting
a job at ECA is just about the most
difficult task in the world.
What illustrates job seekers is the
constant shifting around of ECA
officials. Many ECA officials are
there on only a temporary basis, on
loan from other agencies. Others
are constantly being assigned to new
duties or being shifted overseas.
Consequently, an ECA job appli-
cant rarely sees the same official
twice. Just when q person thinks
he's going to be placed at ECA, the
official with whom he has been deal
ing has been replaced by somebody
else.
One job seeker reports the fol-
lowing experience: He was inter-
viewed by Official A and told to
come back the following day. But
