THE WAR TODAY: Big Three Meet Faces Greatest Problems Vet By DeWITT MacKENZIE, AP Writer By DeWiiT Mackenzie AP Foreign Affairs Analyst The forthcoming meeting of the big three—America, Russian and Britain—in Berlin is likely to be the most crucial of the series, of ■which it is the third. To put it another way, it’s the most difficult diplomatic hurdle we have taken. If we clear it (or let’s be optimistic and say “when” we clear it) we shall have a much more open run ahead of us. In rjiort it may well be decisive in determining the future relations of this powerful trio which is play ing Atlas to a world in search of lasting peace. BOARD OF WAR OUT Previous meetings of the big three—at Teheran and Yalta— had an unbreakable bond to hold them together. That was the war against Hitler the Hun. Good horse-sense kept the po litical differences—which were numerous and at times diffi cult—within the bounds de manded by an air-tight mili tary alliance. But vital questions of postrwar adjustment remained to be settled. We may assume, I believe, that at least some of these will come up at the Berlin meeting. Upon their so lution, of course, depends the con tinued unity of the big three, and upon that unity in turn depends the future of peace. President Tru man has put it this way: “The all-important thing which confronts us is that the unity, mutual confidence and respect which resulted in the military victory should be con tinued to make secure a just and durable peace.” PATROL QUESTION It would be mighty interesting if we could lift the roof off the con ference house in Berlin and see Messrs Truman, Stalin and Church ill in action. For the fiiat time the big three will be facing one an other without the restraint impos ed by military necessity. It will be a grand time to get off their chests anything that has been bothering them, and it will be remarkable if there isn’t a lot of plain talk. That may increase mutual respect. Settlement of the grievous Polish question (that is, settlement so far as concerns present agreement among the big three) seems to be one of the most dangerous issues, and it was one which could have endangered any meeting of the big three. Of course there are numerous other problems relating to the sov ereignty and political complexions of small countries—Greece, Yugo slavia, Romania, Bulgaria, Hun gary, Austria, and so on. However, it strikes me that all these are bound up in the broader question which British Prime Minister Churchill will want cleared up, and that is just how Russia is going to exercise its new authority as the dominant power on the continent. Churchill may be expected to want to know just how much sup port Moscow intends to give to the communist movements which have become so active in many parts of Europe with the ending of the war. If he can get a reassuring answer to that it will ease the general situ ation greatly. > DARDANELLES PROBLEM Among other matters which one would expect to be discuss ed at the conference are Rus sia's claim to a treaty which will guarantee her free pass ages through the Dardanelles from the Black Sea to the Med iterranean. At the other end of the Mediterranean is the troublesome affair of strategic Tangier which the powers pro pose to return to international status. Russia has signified her desire to have a hand in this. Then there is the broad issue of rehabilitation of Germany. This is bound to provide many headaches before it is finished. However, indications are that the three powers are approaching the Berlin meeting with a firm deter mination to make it a success. And after all, that determination is the essential to success. HOMECOMING FOR GEN. DEFERS—Gen. Jacob L. Devers, comman der of the Sixth Army group that helped defeat Germany, stops to shake hands with four-year-old Amelia Blake of Fayetteville, N.

July 7 — ‘/Pi— He's just an ordinary guy. In fact, he might be just a little under ordi nary—weig/is only 140 and is slightly less than average in height. But doctors can't figure out why 1 Pfc. Chester J. Salvatori has such l an appetite. He has, to put it mildly, a gargantuan appetite. I For example, here's a breakfast j that's the common thing for this j soldier from Southampton, Mass. Forty eggs, 20 pieces of toast, 1 several quarts of milk, eight pieces ! of bacon, a quart of coffee and a box—a large box—of cereal. Once, so he says, he ate an 18 pound turkey at one meal—with out help. His favorite meat is pork chops and he says he’s eaten as many as 36 at one sitting. Physicians who have the little , guy with the big appetite under , observation at the Ft. McPhe^in hospital say his stomach is a \ttle t larger than the average—but not t much. ; They also say his craving for . food may be psychological, but they are not definite.

The eclipse will be total for a strip thirty miles wide in Idaho and Montana when the face of the sun will be completely obscur ed for about half a minute short ly after sunrise. It can be witness ed in its partial phases from all parts of the United States with the exception of Southern Califor nia. It is suggested that those who wish to witness the eclipse pre pare smoked glass 'with a candle and have it ready for use since the eclipse as witnessed from here will be only 57 percent and the sun will be too bright for the unpro tected eye. Another total eclipse will not be witnessed in the United States un til 1954, though several partial eclipses will occur before that time. Although only the strip through Idaho and Montana will be in the moon’s shadow in the United Sta>!, a similar darkened strip will extend through Canada, Greenland, Norway, Sweden, Fin land and Russia to its end near Tashkent, almost to Afghanistan. Maximum duration of totality will be 76 secohds, this for Greenland where there will probably be few spectators.

It is to the interest of ev sryone who has neglected to com ply with this law to call immediate ly at the nearest deputy collector s office and pay this obligation to the United States. "Those who voluntarily reveal , liability and Immediately pay the I tax may be relieved of additional . expense but when it becomes nec essary for the deputy collector to make demands for payment of the tax. such violator will certainly be given the opportunity to pay $5 00 in Offer in Compromise, in addi tion to the tax, in lieu of having his defiance of the law reported to the United States District At torney.” Theodore A.
