NEW YORK, May 18. (U. P).— On May 15 the United Press carried “a ‘dispatch from Moscow crediting to Red Star, Russian army newspaper, the report that the bodies of . Paul Joseph.

| however excellent, it will be a rickety
affair without close co-operation between America, Britain and Soviet Russia. One European delegate quoted Winston Churchill's warning in reply to a question concerning whether or not Russia would live up to ‘her commitments, “I decline - absolutely to embark upon a discussion about Russian good faith,” said the prime minister. “It is quite evident that these matters touch the: whole future of the world. Terrible indeed would be the fortunes of mankind if some awful schism argse between the western democracies and the Russian people.” The success or failure of this conference, it is painfully realized here, depends on the ability of the Big Three to pull together. An Indian delegate is quoted. as saying, in committee: “If two small countries fall out it doesn't matter much. They can | be brought together. If one big and one little nation differ, that is not

son why the ranks here of top drawer delegates is rapidly thinning out. Rumors here of a dispute between the late President and Mr. Churchul over interpretation of the Yalta agreement concerning Poland are not taken seriously. I am informed, morever, that the views attributed to the latter are in error as the record shows. ; After Yalta, Mr. Churchill re- | ported to parliament and Mr. Roosevelt reported to congress. Both dealt at length with Poland and fundamentally their accounts were in accord.
