up EASY Tense
White House this week on successive days. Neither was very helpful to reporters, Newsmen turned to the vice president's close friends in the senate. . While none would talk for quotation, all stories agreed on these points: ONE. Immediately after the Chicago convention President Roosevelt promised Wallace an important as-
president expites. TWO. Cabinet jobs were discussed and Wallace got the impression he could have any one except the state department, then headed by aging Cordell Hull.
THREE. Wallace doesn’t want to o back to heading the agriculture department, where he served from 1033 to 1940. He is lukewarm on the labor department. He would prefer Jones’ commerce department | Job. One complicating factor reportedly stems from the famous WallaceJones feud of June, 1943. In that fight, Wallace, as chair {man of the board of economi¢ war- | fare, accused Jones, as chairman of | Reconstruction Finance Corporation, {of obstructing new purchases of strategic war materials, It ended with President Roosevelt chastising both,
Will Perkins Retire?
One of Wallace's friends said Mr. Roosevelt still could satisfy Wallace's commerce department ambi‘tions without alienating Jones. “He could lump all the government lending agencies into a single department and put Jones in charge,” he commented. “It would retain Jones in a mighty important job, especially for the ' post-war period, and make a place for Wallace at the same time.” These senators felt that if any other cabinet change is made at the start of the fourth term it will be the retirement of Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins. All believed that if she does mesign and Wallace doesn't succeed her the job will go to Dan Tobin of Indjanapolis, president of the A. F. of L. Teamsters | union.

Sobbing Joan Admits. Suicide Attempt on New Year's Eve of "43.
HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 22 (U, P.) ~~ Superior Judge Henry M. Willis today continued until Tuesday the paternity suit against Charles Chaplin, His former protege, Joan Barry, was sobbing ‘hysterically when Chaplin's attorney, Charles BE (Pat) Millikan finished his bitter cross-examination of her yesterday. She will return to the witness stand the day after Christmas for more direct testimony. Her attorney will try to prove the multimillionaire comedian is the father of her 14-month-old daughter,

Admits Suicide Attempt
Millikan kept her on the stand all day yesterday. The red-haired witness admitted she swallowed" iodine and sleeping tablets in a suicide attempt on New Year's eve of 1943. That was the night after Chaplin dropped her off at the Beverly Hills police station when she told him she was broke and homeless. Millikan handed her two letters she wrote to Chaplin from Tulsa, Okla. “Did you write these?” he asked. “I can’t go on with this,” she cried. “I can’t. I can't!” In hysterics, she fled from the stand back into the arms of her attorney, 77-year-old Joseph Scott, who glared at Millikan,
‘How Much Longer?
“How much longer will this have to go on?” he demanded. Millikan read the letters aloud and offered to agree to an adjournment. Then Scott changed his mind. “I apologize for Miss Barry's out~burst,” he said, “but we prefer to continue testimony and get it over with today.” Miss Barry wept as Millikan read the letters, which said in part: “My Dear Charles: You're right, I'm crazy. I'm so sick of life as it stands today. When I was in school I felt things stirring within me that were fine, Why do we have to grow up into cheap, little golddiggers? Goodnight, dear. Joan.”

SOVIET PLAN FOR POLES WEIGHED
Plus and Minus Factors in Proposed Territorial Changes.
By Science Service
WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-—There are plus and minus factors in Soviet proposed plans for Poland's post-war boundaries. It is planned to give Poland part of East Prussia, the port and the free city of Danzig, a 200mile front on the Baltic sea, and perhaps a slice of Prussia itself, In return, the Soviet union would take the eastern third of the country. Poland would lose territory that she feels rightfully belongs to her. She also would give up control of inland waterways that dare a part of her economy, as well as control of important trunk railways and trade centers. She also would yield shrines, and educational cities such as Lwow. The waterfront gain and the port of Danzig would be of great value to Poland. It would give her an icefree outlet to the Baltic sea and the Atlantic ocean at the mouth of the great navigable Vistula river. The Vistula drains Poland and, by means of its tributaries and canals, connects Danzig with much of Poland, Germany, the Ukraine in Russia, and Lithuania. It would save rebuilding the Polish corridor port of Gdynia reported destroyed. 730 Square Miles The area occupied by Danzig, 730 square miles, is about two-thirds the size of Rhode Island, It had a prewar population of approximately 403,000, of whom 395,000 were Germang and the rest largely Poles. The area includes the municipalities, and a rural population. The western third of East Prussia would be given to Poland. It has more than 15,000 square miles of territory. It would extend to, but not include, Koenigsberg, the principal city and capital of East Prussia, and & shipping port by virtue of a canal connecting it with the "sea. The area: which Poland would acquire contains much sand dune, swamp and forest land and does not great value for farming purposes. The Curzon Line The area that Poland would lose to the Soviet union is that great section of the pre-war country east of the so-called Curzon line, This roughly extends north and south from Lithuania to Ozechoslovakia Just west of the city of Brest Litovsk, following the upper Bug river in its central section.

It is the line proposed by Lord Curzon of England in 1010 as a temporary administrative eastern border of Poland. Many of the inhabitants to its east are White Russians and Ukranians, so the line may be said to be drawn on an ethnological basis. It contains between 60,000 and 70,000 square miles. This area is a farming and grasing country of considerable value, although a large section in its center is in the Pripet marshes, The area contains many important railroads, particularly those radiating out from: Brest Litovsk to Leningrad, Moscow and Odessa.
RUSS WRITER MAPS WORLD'S FUTURE
MOSCOW, Dec. 22 (U., P).~Division of the world into four sectors ~European, American, Asiatic-Pa-cific and African—under one general organization was proposed yesterday in an article in the publication, War and the ‘Working Class, as a method of establishing world security, The article suggested that cone flicts arising between states: inside
affairs that call for breath-
two sections would be taken up at a joint meeting of the corresponding sections and when necessary taken to the general assembly. The article, written by N. Malinin, frowned on one of the Dumbarton Oaks proposals regarding regional pacts and said such regional blocs| of spheres of influence would tend
eventually lead to conflict.
