The actual dale for the start; has not been set Aside from breaking record, of 7,929 miles by a B-29 1 last November from Guam to Washington, the flight is designed to provide a new test for the Superfortress and to dramatize the polar route for air travel.

Col. Clarence S. Irvine, St. Paul, who was pilot on the Guam- Washington trip, has been chosen for the latest record attempt. Over the route chosen, which crosses a section of Northern Canada but avoids Russian territory, the distance between Honolulu and Cairo is figured at 10,055 miles.

It is not." Open to All "The system of trade we seek," his statement continued, "is 1 open 1 on the same fair terms.to all the! United Nations." Truman also referred to the months of debate in congress which preceded i a action Saturday, when the house voted its approval. "Full and frank debate is a principle' of the democratic system," he said, "and I believe' that the time and care given to the consideration of the agreement are insurance our approval 'rests on full understanding." The president added that "the loan serves our immediate and long- range, interests by helping to restore world trade.

At the same time it enables Great Britain to cooperate in creating a.patlern of mutually beneficial economic relations among the nations of the world.

Louis A. Kivigne, 86, the oldest priest in the Albany Catholic diocese, died yesterday. BY JOHN M. HIGHTOWER AsMjclnlc Press Diplomatic Reporter WASHINGTON. Secretary of State Byrnes last night warned Russia that she is creating "doubts and suspicions' 1 by objecting to a German disarmament treaty and announced that the United States is acting immediately to break down economic barriers in Germany-with or without Moscow.

Zone Co-operation "Our military representatives in Germany," Byrnes disclosed in a radio address, "will this week bo instructed to co-operate with any one or all of the three governments (Britain, Russia, France) in essential administrative matters like finance, transportation, communication, trade and industry We will either secure economic co-operation. between the (German. occupation) zones or place the responsibility for the violation of the Potsdam agreement." The American chief in Germany is Gen. Joseph T. McNarney, Byrnes made a report to the nation on work of the Paris ministers conference.

Earlier in the day he had reported personally to President Truman. Thruout the speech Byrnes repeatedly blame'd'-Russia" of the conference to reach agreement on critical issues--particularly the German disarmament treaty, the centralization of German economy and the draft of a peace treaty for Austria.

"To that question." he continued, "there must be an unequivocal answer, for equivocation will increase unbearably the tensions and strains which men of good will everywhere are striving to relieve." Ho said the Soviet' statement to the foreign i i meeting against the disarmament treaty proposal "revcnls how hnrd-prcsscd the Soviets were to find real objection, to a treaty which gives them the assurance that Germany should never again become a threat to their security or lo the security of Europe." TRACES MAJOR ISSUES Then he added: "I do not believe that the Soviets realize the doubts and suspicions which they have raised in the minds of those in other countries who want to be their friends by the aloofness, coolness and hostility with which they have received America's offer to guarantee jointly the continued disarmament of Germany," Had such a treaty been in existence after world war 1, Byrnes argued, world war 2 never would have occurred, Byrnes traced in considerable detail each of the major issues which had occupied the foreign ministers-himself, Mololov, Bcvin of Britain (Continued on 10, Column i) CIO Union Claims Airlines Vote Win NEW YORK.
