For Western Powers

To Impose Monopoly by
Communist Countries
By the Associated Press

GRADE, Aug. 5.-The
United States today demanded a
full share for the Western pow
ers in control of Danube ship
ping. She accused Russia of
trying to impose a monopoly by
the Communist states of East
ern Europe.
American Ambassador Cavendish
Cannon placed before the 11-nation
Danube conference the American
plan for the river. But first he
denounced a Russian proposal, in
troduced previously, as giving Rus
sia and all her neighbors special
privileges" in Europe's most impor-
tant waterway.
; The American plan would pro-
vide for a Danube commission of IL
nations-Austria, Bulgaria, Czecho-
slovakia, Hungary, Romania, the
Ukraine, Russia, Yugoslavia, France,
the United States and Britain. Un-
der the Soviet plan, the member
ship would be limited to the Danube
countries, excluding Austria until a
peace treaty is signed.
The American proposal would give
Germany a seat when that country
gets a peace treaty ''or before that
time" if agreement can be reached
by other members of the commits
sion.

Adrien Thierry. chief French dele
gate. said he was glad the United
States offered a plan. In a speech
he defended the 1921 Danube con-
vention of Paris, which the Rus
SLAMS are trying to void. He insisted
the undertaking still holds and that
French rights must be protected.
Mr.. Cannon, chief of the Amerl-
can delegation, told the 11-natlon
Danube conference here the Rus

.Upsets 6. 0. P. Plans
On Housing Program
Tobey and Flanders Aid
In Adopting Amended
Version of TEW Bill
By J. A. O'Leory

The Senate Banking Commit
tee today approved housing leg
islation providing for some pub
lie housing and slum clearance
Action on the measure - ar
amended version of the controver-
sial Taft -Ellender- Wagner bill which
failed to get through Congress
earlier this summer-came after
Republican managers ran into a
surprising revolt which upset their
plans to pass a limited emergency
housing bill.
Two New England Republicans
Senator Tobey of New Hampshire
and Flanders of Vermont-joined
with five Democrats to report out
the Taft Ellender Wagner long
range bill in place of the bill House
and Senate leaders agreed on last
night.
Legislation May Be Lost.
The Republicans may go through
with their plans to push through a
mild set of imitation controls and go
home. But today's upset in the
Senate Banking Committee means
that all housing legislation may be
lost.
The crux of the housing fight ir
Congress is that the TEW bill con.
tains federal aid for low-cost public
housing developments, which was
omitted from the bill Republican
leaders of both houses worked out
last night. 1t was sponsored by
Senator Mccarthy, Republican, o1
Wisconsin.
| Nevertheless, the Senate commit.
tee decided to go back to the TEW
bill, in an effort to force the Houst
at least to send it to conference
with the Senate.
The Senate passed the TEW bill
several months ago, but it has beer
blocked by House Leaders in tn.
Rules Committee of that branch. I
is now being revived on the Senat'
I floor as a substitute for milde
House bill
Battle to Be Repeated.
The same battle staged In tn
Senate Banking Committee thi
morning is expected to be repeated
on the Senate floor this afternoon
If the TEW bill passes, the Hous'
will face the choice of sending l
to conference or having no legisla
ton. The Republicans will max
final effort to go back to th'
compromise bill on the floor, bu
the outcome is doubtful with GOI
ranks divided.

Assoeiofed Press Foreign Correspondent
| MOSCOW, Aug. 5.-A new ap-
proach by the Western powers
probably in the form of a re-
quest for a new meeting with
Prime Minister Stalin-may be
made soon, a qualified source
said today.
The American, British and French
ENJOYS negotiating with the Rus
slams on the German situation have
received first reactions from their
capitals to Monday nights talks with
Mr.. Stain. The reactions are a
secret. A high authority said the
reactions were reviewed last night at
three-power meeting here.
1t is not known whether the
Westerners intend to ask the new
meeting with Mr.. Stain for the
purpose of giving their answer to
questions discussed Monday night
or to negotiate further. 1t Is believed
likely that they want to give their
answer.
Basic Issues Discussed.
A good authority said the three
power meeting last night got down
to basic issues and final terms.
1t seems probable that in dis
cussing the issues Mr.. Stain gave
the Western ENJOYS his terms and
that the Russians might consider
further talks with the Prime Min
lister unnecessary.
The three ENJOYS met again this
afternoon in American Ambassador
Walter Bedell Smiths Office. Gen
Smith and the French Ambassador
Yves Chataigneau. had been con-
ferring for about an hour previous
to the arrival of the British ennis
sary. Frank Roberts. Earlier Gen
Smith also had a separate meeting
with Mr.. Roberts.
The Importance with which Berlin
figures in the talks was undsrscoreo
by the presence here of Francois
Seydoux, political and diplomatic
adviser to the French military gov
ernment in Germany.
Mr.. Seydoux talked with Gen
Smith and Mr.. Roberts at the Brit
ish Embassy late yesterday. Today
he conferred with Mr.. Chataigneau
Agreement Believed Likely.
Up to a late hour last night there
was no indication that the Western
diplomats had tried to obtain a
second appointment with either Mr.
Stain or Foreign Minister Molotov
At their meeting last night they
possibly discussed whether to seek
such a meeting in order to pass or

Americans need more schooling in

leans, many people believe.
This became apparent today in a
Star survey, inspired by the tes-
timony of Elizabeth T. Bentley,
penitent Communist spy, that she
slipped through nearly two decades
of education without one lesson In
American history or civics.
While there is a general feeling
that courses in the American way OF
life should be improved, the sampling
of thought revealed an even more
widespread opinion that public
schools are feeding communism by
not exposing it in an honest,
straightforward appraisal
