Seeks Unity Among U. S. Delegation Delegates Are Split On Secret Agreement Washington, April 2 — (UP) — 'Secretary of state Edward R. Stettjniuts, Jr„ today faced the jolb of trying to restore unity among the U. IS. delegatee t the San Francisco conference on 'world security. lHe has scheduled a delegation meet nig for tomorrow and atao has arranged tentatively for a 10-day perid of almost continuously meetings to Ibegiu next Monday. The cnfcrence begins April 25. The delegaliu was split seriously over the secret agreement on aseemibly votes made by the Big three at Yalta. Sen. Arthur H- Vandenlberg, iR., Mich., fe not only opposed to giving any nation more than one vote n the assemlbly but is Iboiling made about the way the 'big three deal finally leaked out to the public. The delegation will operate at (San Francisco under the “Unit rule,” attempting to reach agreement among thennelevee 'before voting with another nation's in the conference. The delegation’s own decision probaWy will be determined by majority vote, with the dissenters remaining quiet in the conconference meetings. But President Roosevelt already has committed the /United States delegation to support the Soviet union’s request for three votes instead of one in the assembly. Jf three other mera'bens of the eightmeinlber delegation join VandenIberg on this issue, it will cause complications that probably won’t ibe easy to solve. Despite speculation that the conference may be postponed because of events of the last week, U. S. officials said preparations were proceeding normally for the meet, ing. But sugegstions of a postponement continued, coming form both supporters and critics of the Dumbarton Oaks plan. The former feared that the present atmosphere might prevent any worthwhile agreement 'being reached. o — Ceremonial Search Because of the famous “gunpowder plot of 1605,” a ceremonial search of each building of parliament is made every year.

German Propaganda Tone 1$ Desperate Reports Hitler Bid In Peace Proposal London, Apr. 2 — (OP) — Rumors of a so-called "last peace proposal” by Adolf Hitler circulated today as Nazi home propaganda took on a desperate tone, calling on all Germans to “fight or perish” and claiming that an underground Nazi "werewolf” movement was arising in occupied German territory. Source of the peace rumor was the "Free German” press bureau in Stockholm. This source said that Hitler had asked foreign minister Joachim Von Ribbentrop to deliver to Britain “a last peace proposal." The Hitler bid was said to include a. request for an immediate armistice in the west; maintenance of the German armies in the east; joint occupation of West Germany by British, American and German armies; and a European peace conference at which Russia would not be represented. Hitler was described as determined to continue his war against Russia but was said to be willing to retire if a general election showed he was not wanted by the German populace. He was also said to be prepared to allow Austria a plebiscite on whether she desires to continue as part of the reich. The so called underground Nazi movement in the west was the subject of innumerable Nazi broadcasts. These said that German men, women, and boys and girls were banding together in an underground movement, calling themselves “werewolves.” Werewolves, in German folk lore, wbre wolves inhabited by human spirits who made forays at night. All local party leaders were ordered to slay at their posts and anyone who left his post was called “a low scoundrel.” The “werewolf” movement was said to have instructions to attack any Allied soldiers and any German who collaborated with them. o Midwest Warned Os Danger From Frost Sharp Temperature Drop Is Predicted Chicago, Apr. 2— (UP) —The federal weather bureau said today that “our prolonged spell of unseasonably warm weather has definitely ended” and warned that “tlie danger of a frost throughout the midwest by Wednesday morning is increasing.” Temperatures will fall sharply in the wake of the present rain, the forecaster predicted. Temperatures already are down to 15 to 25 degrees above zero in the upper and central Missouri valley this morning, the weather bureau reported, and a hard freeze with similar temperatures is expected in Minnesota, lowa, and northern and central Wisconsin tonight. Frost is likely to occur in parts of Illinois, Indiana and Michigan Tuesday night, the forecast said. “This is in the nature of a preliminary warning for Illinois, Indiana and Michigan,” the weather bureau • said, "and we suggest you be on the alert for further warnings. The onslaught

of colder air will be preceded by heavy rains today in Illinois, Indiana and lower Michigan.” Colder weather, the bureau said, wouldn't cause much damage in the northern sections of the midwest where fruit trees and vegetation has not been advanced by the unseasonable weather, but a frost in southern Illinois and Indiana, where some early fruit trees already are budded, might prove disastrous to this year’s crop. 0 BYRNESRESIGNS (Continued From Page One) correspondence, Byrnes authorized White House press Secretary Jonathan Daniels to make the following statement for him: “Though I could not see my way clear to accept the detailed task of reconversion for the period 1 know it will take, it does not lessen in any way my intense interest in the prosecution of the wnr end the making of an enduring peace. I hope I can make some contribution as a private citizen.” After reminding the president in his letter of resignation of his previously expressed wishes to resign, Byrnes said. “I think V-E day is not far distant. My knowledge of the nature of the work now confronting the office causes me to conclude I should not remain longer ... I am convinced that the person who is to direct the reconversion program should take charge of this office now. He would then have an opportunity to familiarize himself with the plans we have made and can modify in such manner as he deems wise the plans he will be called upon to administer.” Byrnes’ letter was dated March 24. Mr. Roosevelt replied to the former supreme court justice in a letter dated March 31 with the salutation “Dear Jimmie.” Mr. Roosevelt said he was reluctant to accept Byrnes’ resignation but he had no alternative, knowing his desires to retire from public life. “Although you go.” the president said, “I shall like to think that at any time in the future, I can avail myself of your wisdom, knowledge and understanding.”

Yankee Prisoners Freed In Germany Feigned Illness To Aid In Liberation With Third Army, Germany, April 2.—(UP)—A group of 1,279 American prisoners used soap to make themselves foam at the mouth in freigued illness and staged a mammoth laydown strike to keep from being marched deeper into Germany. They were liberated Friday afternoon when sixth division armored units overran a German prison camp near Sieghain, south of Kassel. The Gl's, thin and poorly fed, wept when the tanks, halftracks and jeeps rolled into the prison yard. They told how only their pretending desperate illness saved them from being marched away with 3.000 other Allied prisoners as the American forces advanced. A total of 5,000 Allied prisoners were liberated Good Friday, including the 1,279 Americans. Another group of 800 Americans was liberated at a camp near Friedberg, northwest of Frankfurt. Tlie men were in much worse condition than those in the larger group. The German had forced many of them to march all the way from Bastogno where they were captured in December and early January during the German counteroffensive. The men described the inarch as comparable to reports of Japanese treatment of prisoners. They declared many of the Americans collapsed and died enroute. 0 — El Dorado Colombia was named for Columbus and was long famous as the Land of El Dorado. This nation’s real riches lie in her coffee plantations, mines, oil fields. It is the only nation in South America with a coastline on'both the Pacific and Atlantic.
