HOWEVER, Lady Astor, twirling her lorgnette furiously as she spoke, drew agreement from Sir John Anderson, chancellor of the exchequer, from a couple of labor members whose names she couldn’t remember, and from Col. Edward Thomas Wickham, who only recently returned from service in India. “Having a baby in wartime is a difficult business,” Lady Astor said, “most women prefer to wait for peace. sk = “OUR birthrate is low, buf it is nothing to worry about.

LADY ASTOR acknowledged that there has been relaxation of moral standards in Britain because of wartime conditions. “There's much more forgiveness of women today, and that’s a good thing,” she said. Lady Astor said from the viewpoint of the welfare of children, nothing is worse than divorce. “Of course, she added, “I was divorced once myself, but I'm against it.”

night, the conference beginning at 10 p. m. and ending at 1 a. m. Earlier Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden and Foreign Commissar V. M. Molotov conferred for an hour and a half. ; 1 Announcement of the Churchill narty's arrival and the initial conference shared limelight in the Soviet press with a summary of the results of the Dumbarton Oaks international security conference, but there was no hint of any direct connection between the prime minister's trip and problems posed by the Washington talks. Discuss ‘Veto’ Powers?

The Dumbarton Oaks conference, however, had sgreed to submit to “higher levels” Russia's request that she should have veto powers over any proposal by the suggested united nations security council for action against a major power accused of aggression. (The London Daily Mail said matters which could not wait for the proposed post-election meeting among Premier Stalin, Prime Winston Churchill and President Roose-~ velt might have made it imperative that Prime Minister Churchill go to Moscow at this time. (Diplomatic observers in London believed that the Churchill-Stalin meeting might lay the basis for an international framework which gould be adopted after the American election by the “Big Three.”) -

Harriman Not Present

Though American Ambassador W. Averell Harriman previously had been designated as an official ob~server for the conferences, he was not_mentioned in official Soviet announcements as present at last night's initial meeting. It was the third time that Prime Minister Churchill and Premier Stalin had met since the start of the war. Churchill came to Moscow in August, 1942, to explain the delay in the opening of the western front, and then went to Tehran with President Roosevelt last November fo work out with Premier Stalin plans for the final defeat of Germany.

Front dispatches from United Press War Correspondents Henry T. Gorrell and Jack Frankish made plain that American doughboys now held Aachen in a vise-like grip. Aachen was the first big German city to fall within the grip of Amers ican forces. : Frankish reported that Hodges sent the ultimatum to the Aachen commandant at 10:50 a. m. today, giving him 24 hours in which to surrender unconditionally. a The ultimatum was delivered to a German second’ lieutenant by 1st Lt. Cedric A. Laffey of Enoshurg Falls, Vt, Lt. william Boehme of New York City, interpreter; and Pfg, Kenneth Kading of La Grange, Ill, the flagbearer.

Use Bedsheet for Flag

The trio, headed by Laffey, picked its way up a street piled high with rubble and wreckage to a wrecked underpass leading from the ForstAachen suburb into the city. Their white flag was two square yards of a bedsheet, “Several Jerry enlisted men stepped out and asked what we wanted,” Boehme related. “When I told them we had a message for the city commandant, one remarked, ‘I hope the terms are reasonable.” “They blindfolded us and led us on a circuitous route through the city. We walked 40 minutes before we were brought to a battalion command post where we were received in a basement room by two second lieutenants who appeared ill at ease. : “The ultimatum was delivered at 10:50 a. m.
