Byrnes and So- viet Foreign Commissar Vyacheslav M. Molotov brought into the open today a disagreement among the major powers whether a Big Three understanding existed for blanket participation by all five principal | powers in European peace settle- ments. { Molotov, outlining to a press con- | ference the Soviet stand on the 22-day conference which broke | down last night in a debate over procedure, disclaimed any knowl- edge of an agreement for blanket participation of all five powers. Earlier, Byrnes had said President Truman and Prime Minister Att- lee left the Potsdam Conference with the understanding that France and China would be permitted a full share in discussions of treaties, but that Marshal Stalin apparently understood the two nations would be barred from such discussions. | No Agreements Byrnes announced that the depu- ties of the council would continue | work here on some aspects of the! conference which ended without agreement on any major issue. Molotov admitted the existence of disputes within the council, but ex- pressed hope for future collabora- tion to insure world peace. With the breakdown of the con-| ference diplomatic sources here predicted that a new meeting of Premier Stalin, President Truman and Prime Minister Attlee would be necessary, but French Foreign Minister Georges Bidault asserted that any meeting of the Big Three Powers alone would be “disagree- able to France.” | Wants Equal Voice | Bidault, also addressing a press conference, made it clear France was determined to have an equal voice with Britain, Russia and the | United States in drawing up the European peace. | Mclotov was asked about the re- ported agreement early in the council conference which would have permitted all the foreign min- isters to take part in the peace’! discussion. ’ | “You show it to me” he re- torted. “Could there be such an agreement without signatures?” | Separate Protocels Advocated | Molotov said he suggested that| separate protocols be signed.

Informed Formation of Four-Power Govern- ment Is Necessary LONDON, Ucu. o.—The Moscow radio announced today that Russia has informed the United States that the formation of a four-power con- trol government for Japan should precede organization of a Far- Eastern Consultative Commission to direct long-range policy toward the defeated Pacific enemy. The Russian view was set forth, the radio said, in a letter handed U. S. Secretary of State Byrnes by Foreign Commissar Molotov in Lon- don yesterday. Byrnes announced September 29 that the formation of a consultative commission in which other countries that fought Japan would be given a voice had been agreed to by Brit- ain, Russia and China. Molotov’s letter, the broadcast said, reaffirmed Russia’s agreement with such a project, but added that Brynes’ announcement ;‘does not re- flect the present position.” - (ABIsGive Straight Tip On Airlines SEATTLE, Oct. 3—The plan for an % £ s | American air line to fly a route in great Little time was wasted in pleas- |, ./, canada from the U.

One Tiger On Third Borowy, the right-hander the Cubs bought for $100,000 from the New York Yankees in mid-season, came up with wobbly control in the early innings, but with the help of some spectacular flelding by his mates, survived all threats so well only one Tiger got as far as third base. This was Doc Cramer the 30- year-old centerfielder who singled in the first inning, and the only reason he advanced that far was because walks to Hank Greenberg and Roy Cullenbine moved him up. Officially the attendance was an- nounced as 54,637, within 500 of the record ever to turn out for a series game in this spacious ball park. The receipts were $221,883, from which the players’ pool receives $113,160.33. Clouters Had Field Day ‘While Borowy and his fielding support were handcuffing the Tiger thumpers completely, the Cub clout- ers found no mystery about the pitching of any of the first three of the four Detroit hurlers. Phil Cavarretta, the veteran first sacker, collected three hits, includ- ing a homer; Handy Andy Pafko, the center-fielder and fielding sensa- tion of the game, also wound up with three hits, among them a run-mak- {ing double in the third. Bill Nich- olson, snapping out of a slump that made the 1945 season the worst of his career, got two hits, one of them a two-run 370-foot triple in the first, and Don Johnson, the snappy little second-sacker who came back from a week-long injury, pounded out two safeties, includig a two- bagger in the third. The Cubs landed on Newhouser with startling suddenness in the very first inning for four hits and four runs. Then, after he'd fanned the side in the second, they broke out their big guns again in the third for four more hits and three more runs that sent by this time somewhat dazed Newhouser to the showers.
