Dramatic Soviet
Move Expected
In Paris Talks
Big 4 Meet Tomorrow
After Days Recess
Asked by Vishinsky
sY the Assecio,ed Press

PARIS. June ll.-WeStern Of
ficials look for a new dramatic
move by Russia when the Council
Of Foreign Ministers reconvenes
tomorrow.
Soviet Foreign Minister Andrea
Vishinsky had asked before ad-
journment yesterday that no
meeting be held today. His west
ern colleagues agreed to the Rus
sian diplomats cryptic request.
A Russian press officer was
asked why Mr.. Vishinsky wanted
an adjournment until Sunday
afternoon.
He wanted the day of, that is
ALL. was the answer.
Western officials speculated
that Mr.. Vishinsky. after consult
ing with the Kremlin, might make
a move that could change the
course of the Paris conference.
DCEIduuS N@SShd tCfu.
They noted these aspects of
Mr.. Vishinsky's call for a one-day
recess:
1t came soon after Secretary Of
State Acheson warned that the
days of the conference were num-
bered unless Russia gives ground.
I'VE are here to deal with real
tiles, the blunt facts of a situa-
ton, and not to engage in some
form Of diplomatic minuet." said
Mr.. Acheson.
Secondly. Mr.. Vishinsky's re-
quest was made Immediately after
the conference had reached a near
deadlock on three German issues
before the Council. These were
four power control in a politically
and economically reunited Ger
many. Berlin and the currency
question and preparation of a
German peace treaty.
Mr.. vishinsky explained his re-
quest yesterday merely by saying
he was going to be busy" West
ern officials suggested he could
busy" himself by seeing some
Russian emissary in Paris or
awaiting word from some top level
policy conference taking place in
the Kremlin on the basis Of re-
ports he may have sent to Mos
COW last night,
The United States has insisted
that the foreign ministers meet
ings adjourn at the end Of next
week.
Doubts End Next Week.
A senior East European diplo-
mat. however. told q. reporter:
II don't think the conference will
end next week." He said he had
lunched with Mr.. Vishinsky three
days ago.
There Is not much hope among
Western officials that Mr.. Vish-
insky's adjournment request will
lead to some positive action.
However hard Western minis
ters hit back at him. MFR. Vish-
insky is regarded as having had
a psychological advantage In max
ing his three-point demand for
work to begin on German peace
treaty within three months; evac-
uation of all troops from Germany
one year after q peace pact Is
signed. and immediate formula
ton Of procedure by which q
peace treaty should be written.
These proposals are popular
not only In East Germany but in
the Western Z0nes.

gy the Assoeiased Pres,

Senators called today for cuts
of up to $7s0 .000,0 in the Eu-
ropean Recovery Program.
Senator Taft. Republican, of
Ohio. said the Economic Co-opera-
ton Administration can stand q
10 per cent cut in the So $3.50. .47o 900
fund voted by the House. He said
he will back such cut.
But Senator Mccarran, Dem
ocrat. Of Nevada. member Of the
Senate Appropriations Committee.
said he viii urge a fat $3.50. 600. 900
slash.
Senator McCarran said he is
basing his recommendation on a
study made by the staff Of the
Senate-House Watchdog" Com
mittee. This group was set up to
keep a check on ECA spending.
The committee has authorized
Senator McCarran to use this ma
terial, but not as q committee
recommendation.
McCarran Praises Hoffman.
There are some places In the
program, Senator Mccarran said.
where we can make a direct cut.
The rest Of it should be done by
the ECA administrator.
Senator Mccarran said ECA
Chief Paul Hoffman has done as
good a job as any one man could
do"
But the project is too big" he
added. land in many places 1t
has gotten away from him."
Chairman McKellar Of the Ap-
preparations Committee angrily
told Mr.. Hoffman yesterday that
his resignation would be a very
good thing"
Senator George. Democrat. of
Georgia. told a reporter there is
no disposition In the Senate to
cripple ECA." But he said he
favors making the agency spread
the s3,56s. .470.o 900 over IL months
instead of the 1oha months al
lowed by the House.
Senator George said he is con-
fident that Mr.. Hoffman can
spread the money over II months
because of declining prices. II
this money is not entirely ade-
quate," he added. then Mr.. Hoff-
man could come back to Congress
for what he needed to finish the
Job.
Mr.. Hoffman has said he win
not return and ask for more
money. He said he will try TO do
the Job with whatever money he
gets even If the program goes
to pot"
But he added he viii step out as
administrator If he believes he
cannot do the job with the money
furnished by Congress.
It was that statement by Mr..
Hoffman which led to Senator
McKellar's bitter comment: y
hope you do resign.

Youths Who Foil To

Face Stiff Penalties

In a recent check Of regis

has been conclusively shown
that many Of the youth liable
for Selective Service registra-
ton have failed to do so. Cap
tain Adams, Officer-in-C Charge
said he would like to call at
tention to the fact that failure
to register is a violation of the
Selective Service Law and
makes those delinquent liable
to severe penalties. The Selec-
tive Service Headquarters
again outlines registration re-
quirements under the Select
i've Service Act of 1913 which
we believe is not fully under

The obligation to register is
a continuing obligation and

MuY Employ Aliens
Acting Governor Tells
Dept. Heuds

There is nothing in the law
to prohibit the appointment of
a legally resident alien to a
position other than that Of
official, in the government
service, according to a notice
given to department heads on
Monday, by Acting Governor
Taylor.
Mr.. Taylor disclosed that in
April 1914 the Chief Counsel
of the Division of Territories
ruled in a specific case that
the appointment of an alien
to a position in the municipal
government was not in con.
travention of the Organic Act.
But, he declared, it is essential
in such cases that the recon-
mending officer or department
head secure and forward the
evidence or affidavit that the
alien is legally resident.
