To Silence At
Dumbarton Oaks
WASHINGTON, Aug. 28 VP
Senator Bridge (R-N. H.) cau
tioned in the senate today against
the secrecy imposed on the Dum
barton Oaks security conference
and said congress will "not stand
for the double-talk" surrounding
United States proposals for an
International peace organization.
From what has been learned of
the United States proposal, he
said, a projected assembly repre
senting all nations "will be a de
bating society with no power save
to discuss and advise", and "all
power will be in the council which
will be in the hands of the big
four."
Wants Press There
Bridges' speech came after Sen
ator George (D-Ga.) had suggest
ed that general sessions of the
Dumbarton Oaks . conference be
open to the press. .
Bridges said President Roose
velt's statement to the conference
delegates that "the four of us have
to be friends, conferring all the
time" confirmed suspicions that
the big four "intends to dominate
and that they will decide the peace
provisions and policies of the
world."
Saying this is not only the basil
for "Big power policies," Bridges
added that the president's use of
the personal pronoun "us" raised
the question whether "big ruler
politics" also was Involved under
the domination of Roosevelt, Chur
chill, Stalin and Chiang Kai-Shek.
Charges Pre-Jndglng
After Bridges completed his
speech, Senator Hill (D-Ala.), act
ing democratic floor leader, said
the republican appeared to be pre
judging the conference.
"It is very evident," said Hill,
"that the senator (Bridges) Is dis
turbed by rumors. Ha should re
serve his criticism until he sees
what the conference does."
Bridges asked Hill It he "be
lieves In all the secrecy surround
ing the conference."
Hill replied that he favored all
possible publicity, but that "they
can't be informed what the con
ference does until It has had time
to reach Its decisions."

sviiini-'e Wnl- The following
eye-witness description of an at
tempt to shoot Gen. Charles De
Gaulle in Parii on Saturday has
just been cleared for publication.)
By DOUGALD WERNER
United Press War Correspondent
PARIS, Aug. 26. (Delayed)
(U.R) A hush fell on the tens of
thousands of Frenchmen packed
in the square before the city hall
today and all along the streeti
leading to it as Gen. Charles De
Gaulle's gaunt, erect figure ap
peared before them.
And then the hush was broken
by a gunshot . . . two . . . three.
My Jeep had Just turned into
the square not far behind De
Gaulle's car but so swiftly did
bodyguards . cluster about the
leader of the free French that I
could not see him after the shoot
ing. Shrill screams burst from the
crowd and then a split second later
the air was rent with the' rattle
of machine gun fire and heavier
guns mounted on armored vehicles
in the square.
Thousands tried all at once to
run into the entrances to the sub
way and Jammed in the entrances.
Women wept and moaned and
children cried for their mothers.
The boche was gone and France
was supremely happy until the
shots broke the spell. There was
pandenomium in city hall square
for IS minutes and then the peo
ple went to their homes with
sober faces.
