Ang. 11 (By the Associated Presa.) Control by the American Re lief Administration of food dlstrlbn tton In the famine district In Russia waa agreed to In principle this after noon by M. Ilttvinoff, reprcaenta live of the Soviet Famine Relief Commit tee. The agreement waa reached in ne. gotiations with Walter Lyman Brown, Earopean director of the American Relief Administration, which began here Wednesday. Methods of applying American con. trol, local administration and .other details will be ennaidered at a con ference to be held nest week. Following the conclusion of to. day's meeting, there appeared to be no insurmountable obstacle to keep the, American Relief Administration from working In harmony with the Soviet government and a Ruawlan non.partlssn committee on foreign relief. M. Littvinoff also accepted the pro posal that the American Relief Ad ministration be given sanitary con trol in the famine districts in order to Runrd against cholera. In rase such authority la asked. He also guaran teed personal safety and freedom of communication to American re.llef workers, together with equal priority with Russian famiue relief organisa tions with regard to transportation. The Si.viet authorities are to pay transportation chariies from ports to interior destinationa. The main point of contest now ap pears to he the apprehension of the Ilolahevikl that the Americans might place active political opp.inents of the Sovlrt in posts where they would control the Russian committees on whom the work of actual, distribu tion of American food would fall.
