morrow night. There are two
main reasons cited for this view
1. The prolonged speculation
that Mr. Truman may intend to
replace Stettinius in the secre
taryship with James r. Byrnes,
former director ot war mobil
ization, is weakening Stettinius'
official position in addition to
being personally embarrassing
to him. ,
2. Now that the conference

a new worm peace organization

and signing, Stettinius' . imme
diate task is done, and a break

President Truman and Stet

May, when the secretary paid a
flying visit to the White House.
Prior to that they had been as
