A hitch developed in hlx plans for merging the two when the government said it might require a court order to transfer the J2s.mto,iu)o from the old Imard io the three-man agency created under Lewis' new contract with private operators. The old board i wax set up while bituminous mines were under government control law is had planned Io have the old welfare fund board liquidated and the ip w one begin operations yesterday. But the transfer was delayed until the government's representative. former federal <oal mines administrator 11. N Collision, can obtain a legal ruling on his participation in the transaction. Colllsson was understood u-ady to vote the transfer and resign. But he was said to have been advised that his resignation and an audit of the fund should lie filed with the federal district court In accordance with laws governing trusts.

Columbia Franco and Rn-xia would not approve. American officials reported privately that they were satisfied with the speed-up authorized by the council and they expressed confidence they could get to a vote by Friday on key parts of the American prottosal for a longrange Balkan border patrol. 11 NATIONS ARE <1 ontlanrd from I'airr l> lattons for a German treaty now appear bogged down indefinitely American officials are extremely anxious to go ahead with Japan Secretary of state George C Marshall would leave the negotiations to subordinates in the preliminary stages The timing of the proposed conference would make It impossible for him to attend, anyway, since he will be at the Inter-American conference at Rio De Janeiro at that time The timing would also conflict wth a projected British empire conference on Japan in Canberra. Australia, on Aug 22. That conference. under Australian auspices, is designed to formulate a United British commonwealth front in Japanese peace treaty negotiations.

American officials have been concerned about Australia's efforts lest the five British commonwealth nations form a bloc with a Joint policy that could veto under a two-thirds rule any project proposed. The Australians have been waging a diplomatic "offensive" against U. 8. policy in Japan and Australian foreign minls(er Herbert V. Evatt is now en route to Tokyo to talk things over with MacArthur. The talks, however, are not expected to eliminate the friction which inay blow up Into a first class row at the peace conference. c. e.’bell << owHewed from I'nwr I) report of the items produced by the women for servicemen and hospital veterans.
