German problems as whole il

government" is as announced by
Tass, the Soviet news agency.
mo final conclusion" can be
reached. however, a formal State
Department statement said, pend
ing further exchanges Of views
with the Soviet.
A detailed statement Of the
Western powers position will be
delivered tomorrow to Jacob A.
Malik, Soviet delegate to the
United Nations, by Dr. Philip c.
Jessup, United States Ambassador
at large, the State Department
said.
Before the State Department
issued its statement, DR.. Jessup
visited President Truman to report
on the situation and said things
look hopeful" DR.. Jessup's opti-
mism was taken to mean he in
clines to the view that Moscow is
sincere in this latest proposal.
Conversations Reviewed.
The department reviewed in
some detail conversations that
occurred between DR.. Jessup and
Mr.. Malik between February Is
and April 10.
Tass. the ofi1cial Soviet news
agency, announced today that Mr..
Malik had given DR.. Jessup a
proposal that the Berlin blockade
could be lifted when the Western
powers agreed to a date suitable
to Russia for a Big Four foreign
ministers conference on Germany.
The Blockade Began Last June.
The State Department said that
cit appeared that there were still
certain points requiring clarifica-
tions" in the Soviet position as
outlined by Mr.. Malik in his last
conversation with DR.. Jessup on
April 10.
The British and French govern
ments have been consulted
throughout the exchanges between
DR.. Jessup and Mr.. Malik, the de-
partment said. AS a result of the
April 10 Malik-Jessup talk, it
added, Americana British French
discussions "have resulted in a
more detailed formulation of their
position" which DR.. Jessup will
convey to Mr.. Malik tomorrow.
The State Department pointed
out that numerous efforts for in
ducing the Russians to lift their
blockade of Berlin had ended in
failure. with the Western powers
convinced that there was no point
in discussing a solution with the
Russians in the light of their at
titude last fall.
Stain Interview Cited.
The question of a single cur
rency for Berlin had been a major
obstacle in efforts to reach a So
luton with the Russians. The de-
partment said 1t ''noted with par
ticular interest" that in his jan
uary 80 interview-by-mail with
International News Service Cor
respondent Kingsbury Smith,
Prime Minister Stain made no
mention of the currency question
in relation to the Berlin situa-
ton ~

German Leaders Told
Allies Will Hold Reins
Loosely on New State
Terms of Three-Power
Agreement for Western
Section Revealed Here
BY the Associoted Press

German political leaders were
promised today that the United
States, Britain and France will
hold only loose rein on the new
West German federal state.
The State Department made
public the full terms Of q Big
Three agreement on what controls
will be retained. The department
said the occupation powers will
limit themselves mostly to q SUI
|pervisory role after the provi-
sional government is set up.
The way was cleared for crea-
ton of the new state yesterday
when Western German leaders
settled differences which for
months blocked final drafting of a
constitution. This seemingly re-
moved the threat of collapse for
the whole plan to give self govern
ment to the 45,000.000 Western
Germans.
Such a collapse would have
been a hard blow to the West in
the struggle with Soviet Russia
over Germany's future.
Agreement Published.
Gratified at the break in the
deadlock, the State Department
decided to publish the text of an
agreement reached here April 8
by Secretary of State Acheson,
British Foreign Secretary Bevin
and French Foreign Minister
Schuman to merge the three oc-
cupation zones and substitute
civilian control for military rule.
Other Big Three agreements on
Germany had already been made
public. and basic terms of the
latest were disclosed in advance.
This time, however. the State De-
partment supplemented its an
nouncement with a statement
which made a strong bid for
German cooperation.
while the occupying govern
ments will retain supreme au-
thority, it is intended that military
government will be terminate and
that the function Of the occupa-
ton officials will be mainly super
|visory." the State Department said.
"The German authorities will be
free to take administrative or leg
islative action. and this action will
be valid unless it is vetoed by
Allied authority.
Field of Action Limited.
"The fields in which the occu-
patton authorities reserve the right
to take direct action themselves,
including the issuance of orders to
German federal and local officials,
will be restricted to q minimum,
and it is expected that. with the
Exception Of security questions, the
exercise of direct power will be OF

 BaifIe Now On

OMAHA Nebraska, Jan. 27.-tR- The Republican National Commit tee comes to the showdown stage today in a battle by anti-Dewey forces to unseat Chairman Hugh Scott, Junior.
 Scott has called the committee together with every outward sign he thinks he will be able to hang on to his non-paid job for three and one-half years more.
 But Scott's critics are just as publicly confident they can put over a motion to vacate the chair manship.
 Their cue then would be to offer the name of Roy Dunn, 62-year- old Minnesota member who gave at least token support to the un- successful Presidential nomination oid last year of Harold Stassen. Both sides are confident of vic- tory.
 Last minute efforts to comprom- ise this bitterest of recent COP tights failed yesterday.
