B ROSS MUNRO

Can Press Staff Writer . Aug. 2- tcr e)—_ (Advance) — Addresslm the full

peace conference in the Senate chamber of Luxembourg Palace. Prime Minister Mackenzie King today formally proposed on behalf of Canada that the big four for- eign ministers meet separately during the conference to discuss proposals arising from the oop- ference, in an effort to minimize divisions among the powers.

Since early this week when the conference opened the Canadian delegation has been advocaing these parallel big iour meetings but today marked the flrst- time the suggestion has been publicly proposed to the conference. Un- der the Moscow declaration which is the charter of this conference the foreign ministers would meet only after the conference ended to draft final texts to five peace treaties and consider recommen- dations from the conference.

The Canadian proposal is that the Big Four consider such re- cornmendations while the confer- ence progresses.

"I would like to see the iour great powers willing to consider and consider promptly any chang- es in the foreign ministers‘ pro- posals which are seriously sull- gested by strong arguments,"said Mr. King.

He said it was “of highest im- portance" that everything Wssible should be doneto minimize div- lsions. In that regard. he said. "I believe I can sneak for everyone .i.iere, indeed for the peoples of an anxious world."

Would Leave Position U ‘ rl

I-f the Big Four met as he sug- gested it would not require any change in_ the formal position of. the powers.

"The final stage provided for llnhcl‘ me Moscow declaration vwould still take place alid the

for me Durliose of EDPTOVUTZ 111° final draft treaties.

"But if there is merit in this proposal they would I believe find at that lime that. many problems of the final stage had been re- solved. Indeed it might not be too much to hope that final agree- ment would rapidly ensue. Fur- thermore this course would have the advantage of emphasizing our common partnership in the mak- ing of the peace."

This was the most important feature of Mr. King's speech. which also treated in general terms the problems before the

conference and the over-all ques- tion of the peace.

. Purpose of the meeting would be "to discuss the issues the one

Mr. Maybank said the commit- tee members at their private ses- sion had discussed "a great many things." He declined to elaborate or to comment on speculations that the Government would sug- gest settlement for less than the Union had asked.

Presumably the Union offer will be fonnally placed before the emplovers uwhen thev reach Ot- tawa Monday.

Tlie offer was made to the com- ntittee yesterday by Mr. Millard. He said the national advisory committee of the executive was prepared to recommend to the Union a lfilé-cent wage increase. payable ln instalments and coup- led ivlth an increase. starting in January. of one cent for each point advance in the cost of living from Jilly. 1946.

ATHENS. Tenn" Aug. 2 — (AP) —An uneasy ptace settled over this town today following a. bloody. six- hour battle which left 18 wounded as combat-wise veterans forced the surrender of a score or more de-

tlzed officers barricaded. in the

cMinn county Jail.

The battle followed a bitter pol- itical campaign which left nerves taut. An all-veteran slate of can- didates had come forward in op- position to the one advanced by

te Senator Paul Cantrell. head of the local Democratic organiza- tion hel-c for 10 years.

The veterans faction obtained a statement from a county election commissioner conceding the elec- tion of the entire slate of former soldiers. After the fury of the con- flict subslded, James E. Harvis, Managing Editor of the Chat- tanooga Times. sald:- '

As the veterans convergnd on the jail, the deputies hurriedly barri- caded the place. Sporadlc firing broke out. Swiftly the veterans drifted back under cover and then, from sumewherf, produced rifles and shotguns.

Under cover oi darkness’. the war veterans went into action with demolition charges _ home made. but effective. After a third blast had rocked the jail. one of the dr- putles leaned from the building and

shouted: ‘Stop that blasting W'e'll give u - we're dying in here." At .02 am. the officers began

filing out of the battered building. Thry were searched roughly by the attackers and marched back inlo 111B building to be locked in cells under guard.

Ralph Duggan. a former Navy lieutenant commander and a ar- ant spokesman for the one- ima servicemen, said the veterans, "are elected and will ‘serve as your Bfllmly officials, beginning Sept. 1."
