TEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday, March 17, 195S Churchill Claims U.S. Version of Yalta Papers Contains 'Some Mistakes Prime Minister Disapproves of Early Publication London (U.PJ Prime Minister "Winston Churchill told Parlia ment today that the American version of the Yalta papers con tains "some serious mistakes.' He added that it seemed to him it would have been "a good thing" if he had been consulted on the. text before it was pub lished. : Churchill was plainly annoy ed at release of the embarrass ing Yalta documents by the U.S. State Department against his ex press wishes. The Prime Minister, lone sur vivor of the Big Three who charted the postwar world at : Yalta in February, 1945, made it clear by implication that he disapproved and resented the ; American decision to publish 'the documents in his lifetime. 'Not Official Record The British government, he said, did not decline to agree to American publication. "It is of course the Amer ican version and in no sense an official record of' the powers ; concerned," Churchill said. ! "I have not seen anything :but the extracts which now ap pear in the press. Even these disclose some serious mistakes. "On general - grounds, Her I Majesty's government informed :the United States that in their view it was undesirable that de- tailed records of important in ternational discussions should be .published so soon after the '. event. ; "If this became an established I practice, it might hamper the ;free exchange of views at fu ture conferences. . "In any case, it would seem "a good thing to consult together on the text of any publication 'during the lifetime of the indi viduals concerned." 1 The 80-year-old Prime Min ister who with President Roose velt and Premier Josef Stalin ;made up the Big Three at Yalta, .went on: i "When the United States gov ernment asked if we would nevertheless agree to publication, ;Her Majesty s government gave ; their consent. This does not, 'however, imply that we accept ' responsibility for the accuracy of the American version. "When we receive the full text of the U. S. publication we will consider whether any cor rections are necessary, but, as the document is reported to ex tend to 500 pages, I cannot prom ise the house any speedy ac tion." Laborite Percy Daines asked if Churchill would convey to the United States government the British view that "publica tion of documents of this sort should be dependent upon na tional necessity rather than upon the desire of one party in the United States to take advan tage of another." Churchill replied quietly that the Yalta conference had "aroused very acute party is sues in the United States," whereas in Britain it had not done so. ; Churchill spoke for less than five minutes. His cool attitude made it clear that he was net tled by the American decision .to publish the secrets. : He spoke curtly, and stood with his shoulders hunched in an aggressive pose, as if dar ing questioners to try and push him around. LHiSghDights Coertaoned in Yallta Papers Washington (U.P.) High lights of the Yalta papers coun try by country. JAPAN AND CHINA As the price for entering the war against Japan, Russia de manded Japan's Kurile islands, the southern Sakhalin and neighboring islands which Rus sia yielded to Japan in the Russo-Japanese war, port rights ,in Darien and Port Arthur, a "sta tus quo" in Outer Mongolia and railroad rights in Manchuria. President Roosevelt agreed in principle but emphasized he would have to consult Chiang Kai-shek. He also said he pre ferred that Russia lease the ports and rights to the Manchurian railroad from the Chinese or that both be controlled by in ternational commissions. GERMANY Stalin called for "dismember ment of Germany" as part of the Allies' surrender terms. Church ill agreed in principle but op posed including dismemberment in the surrender terms. Roose velt said he thought the division of Germany "into five states or seven states was a good idea." POLAND Roosevelt at first insisted on free elections in Poland with U.S., British and Soviet ambas sadors observing them. But Rus sians opposed the idea of the observers and Roosevelt drop ped the demand. Roosevelt also gave in to steady Soviet pressure to give Russia some of Eastern Poland. FRANCE Churchill strenuously urged that France be given an occupa tion zone in Germany and rep resentation on the Allied Con trol commission for Germany. Roosevelt and Stalin agreed to the occupation zone but oppos ed a commission seat for France. Roosevelt later suddenly chang ed his mind in favor of France on the commission and Stalin gave in without an argument INDOCHINA AND KOREA Roosevelt proposed unsuccess fully an international trustee ship for French Indochina and Korea. Footnotes To Yalta Conference Washington (U.P.) Footnotes to history in the newly publish ed Yalta papers: Scrawled pencil notes by Al ger Hiss were included in the documents. Hiss attended the Yalta conference in his capacity as deputy director of the State Department's office of special political affairs. He later was convicted of perjury for denying that he had supplied secret gov ernment information to a pre war Communist spy ring. His notes reproduced verbatim with his own abbreviations and shorthand were largely a stenographic record of meetings he attended with no outward evidence of pro-Russian sympathy. The documents bore the offi cial title: "The Conferences At Malta And Yalta, 1945." They were released in two bulky vol umes totaling 834 pages. Both together were the size of the Manhattan telephone directory. Indicating that they were pub lished in great haste, the vol umes given reporters were stamped "Uncorrected Galley Proofs." They contained numer ous typographical errors. Two paragraphs of the printed volumes were carefully inked out before they were distributed. A State Department spokesman refused to say what was thus deleted, but said "nothing of substance" was left out. Roosevelt said he was opti mistic that the end of World War II would usher in 50 years of peace. Stalin replied that as long as he, Roosevelt and Churchill were alive, he felt confident Mrs-. Gall Describes 15 Known Cases of Welfare Money Abuse Bonneville - Idaho Exchange Pact OK'd Washington (U.R) The Fed eral Power Commission yester day approved a power-exchange compact between the Bonneville Power Administration and the Idaho Power Co. The 20-year power-exchange contract calls for the company to spend three million dollars for a 50-mile transmission line ;from Baker to La Grande, Ore., to connect with Bonneville lines. Salem (U.R) Mrs. Goldie Gall, of Lebanon, whose husband was severely beaten by a man she believes was misusing wel fare money, says she knows of 15 cases of welfare abuse. Mrs. Gall told a ways and means subcommittee, under oath yesterday, that most of the cases involved misuse of aid-to-dependent children funds after a de serting father had returned to town and resumed living with the mother. i John Brugman, attorney for the welfare commission, told the sub-committee headed by Sen. George Ulett (R-Coquille) after Mrs. Gall testified that' cases in which fraud was indicated will be thoroughly checked to see if legal steps should be taken. Drink Up Checks Mrs. Gall said in several cases where the father had returned and was able but not willing to work, the mother had continued to accept the welfare, checks, and mother and father leav ing the children with a baby sit ter would go to a tavern or night club to drink up part of the check. She also told of cases where women deserted by their hus bands were continuing to accept checks when living with other men. Also mentioned were several Court Records POLICE COURT Hilda E.

In one case, she said, the girl's mother was claiming her teenage daugh ter as a dependent and accept ing welfare relief while the girl mother was receiving her check from welfare after the father had deserted. Sen. Ulett wanted to know if Mrs. Gall was connected with the welfare commission. She re plied she was not, but she was interested in such cases because her former husband had desert ed their children. As she had to work at house work for a living, she said her mother took charge of her chil dren back in the 1930s and ev entually brought court action to win formal custody of the children. Mrs. Gall said she had written to a Lebanon newspaper describ ing cases of welfare abuse, and afterward her home was enter ed and her husband beaten. She said she was sure that assailant had come to beat her but she was away working at the time. Asked what could be done to correct abuses, Mrs. Gall said she thought the welfare com mission when apprised of such cases should make the welfare recipients account for all the money given them. The "Carey act" provides for grants of desert lands to states by the federal government, such lands to be irrigated or reclaim ed by the states for disposal to bona fide settlers. 9 What every good cook knows: CIRCUIT COURT Anna Dora Marcy vs. Lewis Albert Marcy. divorce complaint and waiver.

Ten years later, Churchill is the only one alive. The State Department said the documents it made public, while a "definitive record" of the Yal ta conference, were "not so com plete as might be desired." It said it had tried, but failed, to gain access to the private notes made at the meeting by three leading U.S. participants James F. Byrnes, then a presidential assistant and later governor of South Carolina; Averell Harri man, then ambassador to Russia and now governor of New York; and the late Secretary of State Edward R.
