AI CONFERENCE
OF BlfiTHHEE
"Serious Business" In
Progress At Potsdam;
Speed Sought
By ERNEST B. VACCARO
POTSDAM, July 21 P The
Big Three held their fifth meet
ing today, the American delega
tion announced, and "much ser
ious business has been done."
"The work of the conference
is going ahead," the delegation
reported. "Since the first meet
ing on Tuesday the Big Three
have met every day, including
today, and averaged almost
three hours per meeting."
Foreign secretaries of the
United States, Soviet Russia and
Britain have been meeting every
day since Monday, putting in
long hours, and numerous com
mittees and subcommittees also
have been busy drafting reports
for action by the Big Three. I
Both President Truman and
Prime Minister Churchill were
understood to be anxious to
speed up deliberations.
Confers With Land
In the American compound,
Truman conferred with Admiral
Emory S. Land, chairman of the
U. S. maritime commission here
for discussions looking to the
postwar utilization of America's
merchant fleet. Lt. Gen. Lucius
Clay, Gen. Eisenhower's deputy
in Germany, had dinner with
the president.
Tomorrow Mr. Truman pre
sumably w 111 attend church
serviees-as usual. THe 'American
delegation planned services- in

nan, chief of chaplains of U. S.
forces in the European theater.
An old friend with whom Mr.
Truman served in the 129th
field artillery in the last war.
Col. Tiernan called on the presi

With a lot of work behind it

October 8 unless an emergency
arises to recall them sooner.
They will leave Capitol Hill

United Nations charter drafted
at San Francisco. Then the sen

Truman's Speech Arouses Demand For
Continued Hold On Pacific Islands
WASHINGTON, July 21 m
President Truman's statement
that the United States is not
seeking "one piece of territory"
prompted congressional de
mands today that this country
retain complete control of stra
tegic Pacific islands.
Senator George (D-Ga.), for
eign relations committeeman,
told a reporter ho thinks there
arc areas taken from the Japa
nese at a high cost in lives where
United States control should not
bo hampered even with tho tech
nical restraints of a proposed
international trusteeship system.
-George's declaration was ech
oed in part by some other sen
ators. All expressed the opinion
that Mr. Truman was not talk
ing about the Pacific when he
said at a' flag raising In Berlin:
"There is not one piece of ter
ritory or one thing of a mone
tary nature that we want out of
this war.". .
Burned Area
Now Totals 70
Square Miles
PORTLAND, Ore., July 21 (P) A drliile of rain In northweat
Oregon gave new hope today to the 2000 men fighting a losing
battle against a 70-tquare-mile forest fire.
In the timber town of Clenwood. partly evacuated Thursday
night when fire licked 1000 feet away, rain was falling so heavily
that smouldering embers were extinguished.
Loggers and soldiers worked double time to trail the fire be
fore a new hot spell comes.
COVERS AREA
Rain was drizzling over most of the burning area, which ex
tendi from coastal mountains 20 miles from the Pacific to hills
and lumber towns 50 miles northwest of here. But precipitation
expected by the weather bureau to continue until Tuesday wai
far too liqht to quench the blaze.
On the eastern end of the fire, between the lumber towns of
Glenwood and Timber, flames were advancing over Roundtop
mountain.
SCORCHES TRUCKS
The blaze passed beyond the Wilson River highway so hot
this week that fire-fighting trucks were scorched and the route
was reopened to public traffic.
Spot fires continued breaking out in the new sections, but '
were expected to be lessened by the rain.
Fire fighters checked the blaze on one sector and started to
mop their brows .only to find flaming embers blown in another'
direction.
The huge Wilson river blaze I
scurried across 10,000 more
acres in 48 hours to blacken
more than 46,000 acres. To the
north, the Salmonberry fire
crackled in half a dozen new
sections under a heavy layer
of smoke.
Near the Tillamook-Washington
county line, spot fires from
both blazes threatened to meet,
and fire crews redoubled their
efforts. Forestry officials shook
their heads at a weather bureau
forecast of light showers today
and said the fire might be con
trolled if it rained buckets.
Workers at the lumber com
munity of Gienwood, however,
appeared a. little more hopeful,
reporting spot fires extinguished
promptly. A wind which
changed its mind to one to two
hour intervals kept soldier and
civilian crews hard at work all
day putting out blazes from
falling embers, but the main
wall of flame was temporarily
checked about three miles from
town.
Few Remain
Only a dozen families re
mained in the hamlet and they
were ready to pull out at a
moment's notice. 'Refugees from
the 'Glehwboa a're'a' were strung
out all tne way to Forest Urove,
living in cars, trailers, or tents
set up in plowed fields.
William Powell, medical tech
nician for the National Hospi
tal ' association, said casualties
among firefighters were light
considering the size of the
blaze. Most of the weary men
being' treated had burned or
smoke-damaged eyes. Some had
bal splinters from falls on logs
hidden in the thick smoke.
Meanwhile, what officials
called the "biggest aerial attack
ever made' on a single forest
fire" was staged in eastern Ida
ho, where a 100-acre lightning
caused blaze burned steadily.
The U. S. forest service and the
army air force flew 92 missions
to the Nez Perce national forest.
Fifty-two army paratroopers
from Pendleton, Ore., and 40
smoke jumpers from Missoula,
Mont., were among fire fight
ers. Soldiers Fight
Five hundred soldiers from
Fort Lewis, Wash., were rushed
today to the 8000-acre forest
fire in Oregon's Willamette val
ley. The blaze, fought by about
500 loggers, was advancing
about two miles from the city
of Dallas' water intake; and for
esters called in division leaders
from Lakevicw to take charge
of fire fighting. -
Burning in both cutover land
and green timber, the fire was
reaching the head waters of
Mill City creek and Rickreall
creek. Two emrgency camps
were being set up at Mill Creek
and at Black Rock.
With possible rain in forecast,
foresters hoped they could com
pletely circle the fire soon. Log
gers from Spaulding Lumber
company, Pope & Talbot Lum
ber company, and Willamette
Valley Lumber company have
been on fire lines.
Nobody argued with the pres
ident's further contention that
the United States is not fighting
for conquest, although Senator
Ellcndcr (D-La.) said he thought
Mr. Truman was being "too lib
eral." . ;
"I think we must retain the
islands we have conquered in
the Pacific, as well as some
bases we have built in other
parts of the world," Ellonder
said. "Moreover, I think that
some of our allies should agree
to make available to us some
of the natural resources we have
dissipated in the war, such as
oil." .
Senator Austin (R-Vt.) said he
didn't think the president in
tended to "cut across the bow"
of army and navy policy which
calls for retention of Pacific
areas this country needs for fu
ture defense purposes.
Austin and George agreed

Under this system tho United
