WIREPHOTO CP). Scrambled, Report Shows By William Mylander. (Of Th Register's Washington Bureau. WASHINGTON, D. Is Russia trying to welsh on one of the Potsdam agreements The accusation is softly implied in the latest United States note backing Turkey In Resisting Soviet demands fo a hand in the control and defense oftheDardanelles.

The American note was delivered in Moscow by Ambassador Walter Bedell Smith. The note was dated Oct. 9 but released only Friday by the state department. Control of the straits was given to Turkey in the Montreux convention of 1936. At Potsdam, agreement was reached by Russia, Great Britain and the United States that this convention should be revised "as failing to meet present-day needs." "Next Step." It further was agreed that, "as the next step," this should be the subject of direct conversations between each of the Big 3 and the Turkish government.

The Russian position seems to be that the "next step' was the final step, and the Soviet government Is negotiating directly with Turkey, ignoring the United States and Great Britain. The position of the United States is that "the Potsdam agreement definitely contemplated only an exchange of views with the Turkish government as a preliminary to a conference of all the interested powers, including the United States, to consider the revision of the Montreux convention." Issue of Sovereignty. It can be stated authitative-ly that the United States feels that the issue is between Russian security and Turkish sovereignty. An issue of such magnitude, our government feels, should not be decided in bilateral negotiations, but by the United Nations. The state department also is represented as believing, that in this modern age of air warfare, Russia would be able to defend the straits without establishing peacetime bases on Turkish territory.

WILLING TO TALK. ISTANBUL, TURKEY (DELAYED) LI) Turkey, though expected to reject renewed Russian demands for joint defense of the Dardanelles, seemed likely today to consent to Turkish-Russian talks on the issue as a prelude to a conference with other interested nations. In the opinion of observers in touch with the situation, direct conversations are likely to be held in Ankara after the return of Soviet Ambassador Serguei Vinogradov.

(Pi Undersecretary of State Dean Acheson Friday declared officially the United States 13 deeply worried over the possibility that Archbishop Alojzijc Stepinac was unf airly tried by the Yugoslav government.

He questioned I I I whether the trial may fore shadow "the impairment freedom of religion and of wor ship" under Marshal J. B. Tito. The Catholic prelate of Yugo slavia Friday was convicted at Zagreb of Axis stepinac. 1 1 a oration and sentenced to 1ft years imprisonment at hard labor.

Two others were sentenced to death and 10 other defendants drew prison sentences. Acheson took the position that it is a matter on which the United States has a right to speak up because the United Nations are committed to uphold certain basic civil liberties. Acheson said the Vatican had not requested American intervention. Officials speculated the comment might be followed later by some formal representation to Yugoslavia if official information bears out Acheson's fears. Acheson said when the United States recognized Yugoslavia "we drew their attention to what we thought was the undesirable) situation" in respect to civil liberties in the country and "reminded them of their undertaking under the United Nations charter." Since then, Acheson continued, there have been a "very consid- erable number" of trials of American citizens under Marshal.

KICKIN' AROUND 'The Admiral's pretty sore released and he can't find 1 ISFRARATICXI CENTER 1 Bulgaria PARIS, FRANCE (SATURDAY) UPli The 21-nation peace conference early today wrote into the Bulgarian 'peace treaty provisions to internationalize the Danube river, matching action taken previously in the Romanian treaty. The action was sealed by a 15 to 6 east-west split vote, the same ratio that has marked most of the votes on controversial commercial and military issues.

Greece gained a point early in the session when the conference failed to agree on frontiers for Bulgaria, apparently throwing the problem of the border between Greece and Bulgaria back to the foreign ministers' council for final decision. The upset came after the United States had pledged to join in United Nations defense of Greece against any aggressor. Voting on article one of the treaty, fixing Bulgaria's frontiers as those existing Jan.1, 1941, came shortly after United States Secretary of State James Byrnes called the evening session to order. A long silence ensued as members of the secretariat gathered around Byrnes for a hurried discussion after the vote. Then Byrnes announced: "There have been nine votes in favor of the article, none against and 12 abstentions.

The article has thus not been adopted." Article Two. He immediately proceeded to call for a vote on article two, which was adopted without comment. Then on suggestion from Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Vishinsky the delegates adopted discussion the remaining 13 political articles of the treaty. The conference also voted 12 to 6 to forbid Bulgaria from constructing any fortifications along her southern boundary with Greece, and to order the Bulgarians to destroy any war material capable of being fired Into Greek territory. There were three abstentions.

Moving ahead more rapidly, the conference then approved, 13 to 6, with two abstentions, a British proposal that Bulgaria pay Greece and Yugoslavia 125 million dollars in reparations. Equally Divided. A Greek amendment that this sum should be divided equally between the two countries and payable within six years in agricultural produce, coal, live stock and railroad equipment was adopted. Three military articles also were adopted without discussion. They provided for a Bulgarian army of 56,800 men, a navy of 3,500 men and 7,200 tons of shipping and an air force of 70 combat and 20 transport planes and 5,200 men.

Von Ribbentrop 'Cracks' in Jail NUERNBERG, GERMANY tR Joachim von Ribbentrop, the once dapper dandy of international intrigue, is beginning to crack under the strain of facing the executioner next Wednesday, a prison official said Friday. During a final one-hour visit with his wife, Von Ribbentrop broke down in tears "four or five times," although his wife was described as being one of the most composed of those yet visiting the 11 condemned men. Maj. Frederick Teich of the security detachment at Nuernberg jail said other nerves are beginning to crack, too. Fritz Sauckel breaks into tears at intervals, Hermann Goering still lies flat on his back staring into" space, Alfred Jodl, Wilhelm Keitel and Arthur Seyss-Inquart have started pacing their narrow cells.

Withdraws as Candidate. ATLANTA, GA. LP) An indecisive Fulton county (Atlanta) Democratic executive committee Friday requested and obtained the withdrawal of a lone Negro candidate for coroner. Then it retracted its request in fear of federal prosecution, and designated a single white man as Democratic candidate in the general election Nov. 5.

3-Hour Session. In a turbulent three-hour session, in which 23 white candidates bickered among themselves as to whether one of them should be chosen "to keep a Negro from becoming coroner of Fulton county," the committee finally voted on the fourth ballot to nominate a former county commissioner, Ed Almand, for coroner. Politically, this leaves 2S other candidates, including the Aurelius S. Scott, as "independents." Seventeen said they would abide by the party- decision, but six white men indicated they would carry their case to the voters. Scott Baffled.

Scott, who left the committee chamber after writing his withdrawal, was completely baffled. "I withdrew," he said, "because the committee asked me to. I don't know where that leaves me. I don't want to make a racial issue. I just don't know what I'm to do." Aherne Stops Runaway Stage LAS VEGAS, NEV.

Aherne was on a saddle horse riding alongside the coach when the four horses shied and bolted. The driver was unable to stop them so Aherne rode up beside one of the lead horses, jumped from his mount onto the back of the runaway. Aherne's comment was brief: "I was just scared." $10,000 Loot for 6 Boy Burglars NEW YORK, N. Y.

Has More Time. It is not this at all but the fact that Russia now has more time to look after things that it did not have time for during the war. It is ridiculous to interpret such things as criticism of collective farms, music, drama, poetry, architecture in fact, all arts aa a purge, for it is nothing of the sort. Abroad I read and heard that Leonid Utesov. Russian band leader, had been "purged.

Only Friday morning I saw where one of his concerts was to be broadcast over the radio last night. Abroad I read and heard that the famous composer of popular songs and himself a band leader, Sasha a a had been "purged." He hasn't at all. He has been in the south on a vacation with a friend of mine. There is no anti-American or anti-British feeling aa such here. There are articles of criticism In the Russian press aad radio about the United States and Britain, but I would be a very untruthful reporter If I did not say that there Is three to five times as much ant i-Kunslan sentiment In the American and British press and en the radio as there is here against those two countries.

I have heard no one here express a desire for war with tha United States or Britain or both, which is more than I can say of what I heard at home and in England.

Unscrambling a panful of eggs, ven to getting the salt back where it started from, is simple compared to any thought of prying the United States governmen. into its old shell.

Sixty-three agencies were added to the federal structure from March, 1933, through the war. Also 34 government-owned lending, buying or giving corporations were born. Is there duplication among them? Is the Great Salt Lake sugary? "Bureaucracy rampant" should be the title of a report by the Byrd joint congressional economy committee. Following a careful search and inquiry, which nearly drove the staff batty, a startling tale was unfolded of duplication, more or less justified, by agencies or units within departments or independent bureaus.

"Mighty as well say we are to have one cafeteria in Washington instead of 176," a grumpy department head commented, "as to say we must originate all government statistics under one roof." There's something in what he says. But there is, also, "much room for soul and desk searching by department heads, under the president's reorganization order to them, to cut down duplications.
