Molotov Hits
U.S.., British
Bloc in Paris
Says Capital Wants
To 'Dislodge Soviet'
By The Associated Press
MOSCOW, May 27-Soviet Minis-
ter Vyacheslav M. Molotov charged
today that a British-American bloc
waged an offensive against Russia at
the Paris conference of foreign min-
isters in a "desire to impose their
will upon the Soviet Union."
In an exhaustive review . of the
four-power conference, published by
the Communist Party newspaper,
Pravda, Molotov accused British-
American capital of attempting to
bend small nations to its will, charg-
ed the existence of a desire in some
circles to "dislodge the Soviet Union"
from its place in international af-
fairs, and asserted that advocates
of imperialism in the West "are
instigating new and aggressive wars."
Molotov Lists Grievances
Molotov's article made these points:
1. The Soviet Union cannot ac-
cept U.S. Secretary of State James
F. Byrnes' proposal for a 21-nation
peace conference until British, Soviet,
French and American foreign minis-
ters complete preliminary drafts for
European peace treaties.
2. Byrnes, by proposing ultimate
reference to the United Nations of
the Italian colonies question, should
no solution be forthcoming from
the foreign ministers, made an at-
tempt "to utilize methods of pressure,
threats and intimidation."
Avoided Soviet Demands
3. The British and Americans
formed a bloc "in their desire to im-
pose their will upon the Soviet Un-
ion," because they did not want to
reckon with the Soviet Union's de-
mands, and thus "frustrated the pos-
sibility of an agreed decision on re-
parations as well."
4. In proposing a 25-year pact of
the United States, Britain, France
and the Soviet Union to insure the
demilitarization of Germany, Byrnes
made a "somewhat inaccurate state-
ment" by saying he had obtained
Prime Minister Stalin's "consent in
principle last December." Molotov
said in December Byrnes "did not
as yet have the draft of such a treaty,
and therefore Prime Minister Sta-
lin's 'consent' to a non-existent
treaty could not have been given."
Molotov said the Big Three de-
clined to discuss the German ques-
tion at Potsdam last July, after Stal-
in proposed some sort of central Ger-
man administration.

Distinctions Proposed
Doolittle's 'Gripe Board' Recommends In D E
Democratization of Military Structure
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON, May 27-Far-reaching proposals by the Doolittle
"Gripe Board" to sweep away all social distinctions between Army officers S e n a
and men were made public today by the War Department with a 'promise
that they will be adopted if feasible.
Declaring that "much of the present structure of our Army harks back"
to the old Prussian and British military orders, the board called for aboli- Acii

"enlisted man" and "officer" in favor of plain "soldier" for everybody. Presile ta 1?)

AID FOR SUFFERERS:
New Drg oRde Bld
Pressure Revealed by Lyons
On Agreement
Meeting Is Planned
For This Morning
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON, May' 27-Secre-
tary of the Interior J. A. Krug re-
ported tonight that "some progress"
had been made today toward an
agreement with John L. Lewis and
there was every sign that lawyers
were preparing a draft of an actual
agreement to end the stoppage.
Closing out six and a half hours
of conferences during the day with
the United Mine Workers leader,
Krug, as federal administrator of
the seized mines, sent word to re-
porters that attorneys for all parties
would be "busy tonight working on
the progress made."
Contract Work
The lawyers seldom are called into
such disputes before there has been a
general meeting of minds bringing
the issue down to details of putting
the agreement into contract form.
A spokesman for Krug, however, de-
clined to say definitely that a contract
was being prepared.
Another meeting will be held in
Krug's office tomorrow at 11 a.m.
Meanwhile, the stoppage in the
mines, interrupted by a working truce
that ended Saturday night, was again
virtually complete.
Lewis Silent
Lewis himself had nothing to say
when tonight's four-hour conference
broke up at 7 p.m. He referred all
questions to Krug, and would not
even say whether he would be back
tomorrow.
The government's tentative pro-
posals for a contract to end the
dispute which began March 12 were
made to Lewis on Saturday.
The amount of the wage increase
favored by the government, was not
learned specifically but officials most
concerned with the wage price policy
have been represented as opposed
to granting the 400,000 bituminous
miners any more than the 18/2 cents
hourly increase granted to the CIO
steelworkers and CIO auto workers.
U Seeks Use
Of Dormitor y
For WOmen
The University has filed an appli-
cation with the Federal Public Hous-
ing Authority in Washington for
permission to house non-veteran stu-
dents at Willow Village and has se-
cured the use of a dormitory there
for women veteran students.
If the FPHA grants the University
permission to house non-veteran stu-
dents at the Village, the policy will
apply to women as well as men.
The dormitory granted for use by
women will accommodate 72 students,
starting in the Fall Term. There are
153 women veterans enrolled in the
University this term and a large
number of applications, especially
from former Imembers of the Army
Nursing Corps who wish to enter the
School of Public Health, have been
submitted to the Office of the Dean
of Women.
Women veterans interested in liv-
ing in Willow Village may obtain fur-
ther information at the Office of the
,Dean of Women.
