It said that the task of the three-power conference here was to decide merely the amount of financial aid needed from America and whether such aid could be obtained under the Marshall plan. The announcement, made during a Sunday recess of the conference of Russian, British and French foreign ministers, was transmitted from Moscow by Tass, the official Russian news agency. (THE OFFICIAL French Press Agency said, according to the United Press, that the Paris negotiations were deadlocked completely. It added that Russia's course might wreck the conference.) The Moscow statement said that Russia considered it "perfectly obvious that internal economic affairs are to be decided by the sovereign peoples themselves, and that other countries should not interfere in these internal affairs." "The conference is faced with the task of ascertaining the needs of the European countries for -American economic-aid by means of receiving appropriate estimates from the countries concerned and subjecting them to a joint examination," it continued. "It should be believed that the task of the conference is to establish co-operation among the European countries in drafting estimates of the needs of these countries for American economic aid, to ascertain the possibility of obtaining such economic aid from the United States and to assist the European countries in obtaining this aid."

Youngsters, you'll find, are safety conscious, but the excitement of contest is apt to make them a little thoughtless.

THE DIFFERENCE between tragedy and a healthful, happy summer may depend on the warning, "if you follow simple safety rules." Safety takes in the problems of health and accident. Detroit children have helped the Free Press to dramatize play hazards through this series of photos. Begin at the top and look them over carefully.

EINSTEIN GROUP RAPS U.N. FAILURE Scientists Fear Atom War in 8 Years PI il x- PRINCETON, N. J. (U.R) Prof. Albert Einstein and a group of associated scientists said that the United Nations had failed utterly to find a plan for atomic control.

They warned that a full-fledged atom-bomb war might break out within eight years. The men who helped create the atom bomb said the Soviet Union would have the start of a stockpile of bombs by 1955. THEY ADDED the cryptic warning: "Once stockpiles of atomic bombs have been accumulated by two national blocs of a divided world, it will no longer be possible to maintain peace." Einstein is chairman of the Emergency Committee of Atomic Scientists.
