There was a determination among the western powers, particularly the American delegation not to yield an inch to the Russians, even if it means a breakdown of the conference. Feeling among the delegations was increased by the first small informal session late yesterday in Secretary of State James F. private office.

The bluntest speaking thus far was heard there as Byrnes openly challenged the Russians on reparations, economic stripping of defeated countries and armistice terms with the Balkan Axis satellites. Byrnes proposed a revision of the armistice terms with Italy and the defeated Balkan countries. He said it would be at least six months before the peace treaties go into effect, superceding the armistice arrangements. Agreement has been reached on only two minor questions, although the conference is eight days old.

Marinas and prison guards closed in at dawn today on a band of desperate Alcatraz prison convicts who had seized a gun arsenal in the bloodiest fight for freedom ever made at the most impregnable Warden James A. Johnson issued a terse order to them early today, 18 hours after the break for freedom began. Shortly afterwards a new barrage of tear gas and smoke whistled through the barred windows of the main cellblock and exploded inside.

The crime-hardened convicts- possibly as many as were prepared for fight to the inside the cell block. At least two guards had been killed and 14 others wounded. Four prison officials who were trapped in the cellblock when riot started were rescued. They were wounded and weak from loss of blood. They had lain on the floof more than seven hours feigning death to escape the bullets, before their rescue shortly before midnight.

A fifth escaped uninjured. Another guard still was directing the attack by telephone from a position in the cellblock from where he could not retreat for fear of being cut down by the fire.

WHITE. IOO YARDS OFF ALCATRAZ. May 3 There was a constant echo of gunfire as our boat pitched and tossed in the whitecaps of San Francisco bay. Above us loomed the orange- beige walls of the main cell-block of the toughest prison in the country. Alcatraz island.

Black- coated guards, slinking acrose a narrow catwalk, lifted up their pistols as high as they could to fire between the bars of the windows into the cell-block. Holding their weapons above their heads, some guards shot off projectiles from gas guns. Veteran San Francisco police officers, led by Rangemaster Emile Dutil, El Verano, said, "this is a siege to end all Capt. Charles MacDonald of the police detective division said: have to smoke them out Two navy flying boats constantly circled the island at 500 to 700 feet altitude, while a dozen coast Guard and Navy vessels cruised around the stronghold. When we arrived from the mainland about 5:20 p.

yesterday, we saw a big coast guard cutter with its guns trained directly on the guard tower. As we came within about 200 yards of the island, we heard the first of what turned out to be literally hundreds of shots within but mostly from without the cell block. Most of the shots were being fired by guards outside the block. But we also heard muffled shots coming from the convicts' barricade. Police Sgt.

Two destroyer escorts and five Coast Guard cutters and patrol boats maintained a tight blockade around to prevent any convicts from escaping across the mile and one-half wide channel to the. mainland.

The detachment of more than 20 Marines, many of them battle- hardened veterans of the Pacific war, went ashore from a patrol boat at 6:18 p. more than four hours after a convict overpowered a guard, seized his submachine gun and rallied other inmates in an attempted break. Authorities halted the transfer of the wounded to the mainland at I a. rn. after indicating that there were more casualties being treated on the island.

Marine Major Albert Arsenault, Greenfield, who went ashore on Alcatraz late last night, said the guard who was overpowered in the initial outbreak still was trapped in the cellblock. Arsenault identified the guard Bert A. Burch. He said Burch, uninjured except for a blow on the head, had knocked over a telephone and was directing the fire against the convicts with hasty conversation while lying prone on the floor. convicts are shooting, not talking, and apparently it is a fight to the Arsenault said.
