Call for Post-EIection Meeting
Of Acheson and Bevin Seen
Close British Race
Likely to CompIicote
American Relations
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

An early meeting between Sec
retary of State Acheson and Brit
ish Foreign Minister Bevin may
be called, according to well-in-
formed diplomatic officials. to
review British h-American relations
and the struggle with Russia in
the aftermath of the British elec-
ton.
Although preliminary steps
have yet to be taken and some
American officials said talk of
such a meeting is premature"
State Department authorities
have already begun considering
what problems need to be at
tackled by the two men and what
results might be achieved.
If German issues seem likely
to become a major factor. French
Foreign Minister Schuman would
be expected to participate.
A survey OF responsible opinion
inside the administration leaves
no doubt that officials are deeply
disappointed at the lack Of clear
working majority in Parliament.
At best this will put q drag on
Anglo-American relations; at
worst it could lead to a crisis in
the Western conduct Of the cold
war with Russia.
Another element Of the situa-
ton made more confusing by the
election is the future Of congress

and the part that may play in

situation next spring and summer.

While the street teemed with
shoppers. two gunmen held up the

and escaped with $2,500.
During the holdup, they forced
II clerks and customers to lie face
down on the floor.
One bandit. gun in hand, stood
directly in front of the glass door
facing F street in full view of the
shopping crowds as he herded his
victims into a small cashiers S
cubicle. Apparently no one out
side noticed the weapon he held.
Two Customers Enter.
Two customers entered the
store while the hold-up was in
progress. They also were herded
promptly into the cubicle.
The only mark of ineff1ciency
displayed by the bandits came as
they looted the cash register. They
overlooked two brown paper pack
ages containing about $1,000 in
cash, the receipts from two branch
stores.
The robbers, both clean shaven
and well dressed. entered the store
about 10 minutes before closing
time.
One said he wanted to buy a
topcoat. The other began trying
on suits. Both we're between 80
and IS years old, weighed about

Approval Lost Year
By Chris Mothisen

Chances now appear good for
the establishment of a National
Science Foundation-an agency
long sought by President Truman
and the late President Roosevelt.
The House is scheduled to con-
slider tomorrow an administration
bill which would set up such
foundation to encourage and CO.

Senate last March 18.

Tomorrow is another discharge

to clear for floor action.
The thought behind the, prop
