A train Bans Lublin Poles at Conference Table WASHINGTON, April HI (UP) President Truman today ro ccived assurance of a fresh stnrl in White House-senate relations, which often were marked by bit t ?r clashes dining the Roosevelt administration. Senate democratic leader Al hen W. Barklcy, Ky., said a party conference had agreed that any diffeitnces which in the past might have hindered cooperation between the executive and con gress, 'might well be relegated to the past in view of the new sit uation." The president's most pressing and immediate problem, how ever, was Russia particularly Russia's insistence that the pres ent Folish government, rccog nizid only by Russia, to repre sented at the San Francisco con ference. The U. S. government today rejected a second request from Russia that the Soviet sponsored Warsaw regime in Poland be in vited to San Francisco. Similiur action is expected by Gloat Brit ain. The western allies are unwill ing to permit Poland to be rep resented at the world conf.'i'once by anything less than the broad ened, more democratic regime specified at Yalta. But so far their representa tives have been unable to agree with Russia on the men inside Poland and out who should be brought into the Polish govern ment to accomplish this. Thore will be one final effort U resolve the deadlock before the conference starts. Soviet Foreign Commissar V. M. Molo tov is on his way here, and the British and United Slates foreign ministers and ambassadors are here. Mr. Truman will have con-U-rences with Mololov and the Polish matter is certain to figure promin. r.tly in their talks.
