Truman Says Big 3 ; Meet
Not Far Digfonf: Supports
England's
, By Ernest
WASHINGTON. June 1-(F)-President Truman said flatly today
that neither the crisis in Syria and
the San Francisco world organization
an early meeting of the big three.
He made it clear that Britain's
deGaulle and her more to halt
qualified support.
The president said his meeting
with Prime Minister Churchill and
Premier Stalin definitely will take
place in the not far distant future
but that a broadening of the con
ference to include China and
France is not under discussion.
He smilingly told his ; weekly
news conference, that a meeting in
this country.' is a possibility al
though it not very'probable.
The development sparked a. fast
question-and-answer meeting with
the press anoV radio in which he
maintained his record as a source
of "hot .copy" by disclosing that:
1. Hi is backing the Secretary
of the Treasury Morgenthau to the
fullest in efforts to ferret out
shocking" cases of tax evasion by
directing the civil service to round
up 10,000 new agents, preferably
from among discharged veterans.
2. He has persuaded Judge Sam
uel Rosenman of New York to re
main until after V-J day as his
special counsel. Rosenman in
vestigated relief need in liberated
western Europe and negotiated
.with the British on trials of war
criminals on assignment from tne
late President Roosevelt.
3. He is doing everything with
in his power to speed the release
of American war prisoners of the
Japanese and to' expedite move
ment of relief supplies and mail to
the men.
4. He is in favor of the
principles of the Wagner-Dingell
expanded social security bill and
will confer with congressional
leaders Monday on his own emerg
ency proposal to use federal funds
to raise unemployment compensa
tion for displaced War workers to
S25 weekly for men with de
pendents until a long range pro
gram can be perfected.
S. He has some definite ideas
of his own on postwar universal
military training which do not co
incide fully with those of either
the army or the navy of members
of house and senate military com
mittees. He prefers to withhold de
tails until a definite policy can be
worked out,
The president verified Guy M.
Gillette's announcement I of his
resignation as chairman of the sur
plus property board, asserting the
former Iowa senator wants it ef
fective not later than July 15.
