WHI TE HOTJSf Churchill's Mvessage. The President has received the following message from Prime Minister Winston Churchill: RI wish to offer my sincere congratulations upon the splendid victory gained by the United States Army, Fleet and Air Force in Okinawa. This strength of will power, devotion and technical resources ap- plied by the United States to this task, joined with the death-struggle of the enemy of' whom 90,000 are reported. to be killed, places this battle among the most intense and famous of military history. It is in profound admiration of American valour and resolve to conquer at whatever cost might be necessary that I send you this tribute from 'your faithful ally and all your British comrades- in-arms who watch these memorable victories from this island and all its camps abroad. We make our salute to all your troops and. their commanders engaged.." ACTING SECRETARY'S PRESS C01TPBRýC Asked whether he had received any reports of the progress of the talks which were begun in Moscow June 15 among Polish political factions, the Acting Secretary said that Ambassador Harriman had been keeping this Government fully advised on that matter, but since the negotiations were still in progress he could not make any comment on the subject. Correspondent asked, if any progress was being made in opening up Russian- occupied areas to the press. Mr. Grew told correspondents that they could be assured that this Government was continuing to give full consideration to that matter. He called their attention to his ra-dio address of June 15 (Radio Bulletin No. 144) and stated that the remarks he had. made at that time summed up this Government's position on that matter. Asked for comment on the political situation in Belgium which has arisen since King Leopold decided to returnt the Acting Secretary said that the Depart- ment regards the Belgian political situation as one which is of primary concern to the Belgian people and therefore he had no comment to make regarding it. _STATE MPARYIMENT Visitor from Venezuela, The Reverend Father Rafaiel Eugenio, director of a School-Workshop for rural students in the State of Tachira, Venezuela, has arrived at Washington as a guest of the Department.

MI SCELANEOUS-PRESS Provisional Administrative Machinery. Secretary Stettinius at a press con- ference yesterday announced that the Steering Committee had made arrangements for carrying on the interim work of the United Nations Organization. Secretary revealed that interim arrangements would be under the general direction of a Preparatory Commission composed of representatives of the fifty nations represent- ed at San Francisco. Mr. 'Stettinius disclosed that details of the interim arrange- ments would be carried out by subcommittee composed of representatives of thae nations on the UNCIO Execu~tive Committee. He said that the Preparatory Commis- sion would hold its first meeting -- a routine organization session -- W~ednes- day# at which time it will recommend a specific time for its subcommittee to convene in London this summer.. Secretarv -2- Secretary also announced that the Steering Committee- had approved a list of speakers for the final plenary session of the Conference Tuesday afternoon, He said. that the speakers, who were chosen on the basis of geographical distri.- bution and language, will represent France, Brazil, Czechoslovakia, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, the Union of South Africa, and the four sponeoaring nations. They will speak in their native tongue and their addresses will be broadcast by radio throughout the world. General Assembly. UNCIO Commission on the General Assembly (Commission Two) yesterday unanimously adopted the report of its Committee on Political and Security Functions (Committee Two), which was the last of twelve Conference Technical Committees to make its report to its parent Commission. Earlier in the day, Commission accepted the report of its Committee on Structures and Procedures. Commission unanimously approved a recommendation by the Committee that save in "exceptional circumstances", sessions of the General Assembly "shall be-open to the public and the press of the world". Speaking in support of the recommendation, Luis Fernan Cisneros, member of the Peruvian Delegation, pointed out that decisions of the Assembly would affect the lives and property of people throughout the world and declare& that the people were entitled to know details of such proceedings. No justice, humanity or logic will support any other course, he said. Dr. Evatt of Australia and Prime I.u1inis- ter Smuts also spoke in favor of the recommendation. Control of Narcotics. United States Delegation announced yesterday that the United States representatives in the United Nations Organization would "act to assure a vigorous and effective international control of narcotics under the E~conomic and. Social Council." Statement pointed out that the opium treaties are still in effect and that the plan to bring existing agencies dealing with narcotics into relationship with the Economic and Socitl Council does not affecs the continued observance and carrying out of those treaties by the United State, Statement asserted that "the United States Delegation throughout the discussion., at San Francisco has never lost sight of the problem of narcotic cotrl and cited several instances of its work in this connection. Trial of--War Criminals. At a press conference in London today, Justice Robert H. Jackson revealed a United States plan to prosecute Germanyts arch war criminals in one collective trials and expressed the hope that it might start before the end of the summer. He emphasized that he could not speak for the three other major western powers, but said. no objection to the proposal had yet been lodged by Britain, Russia or France. He pointed out that the United States plan envisions trial by a military tribunal with each of the four major powers represented by 1tone or two judges". At the outset of his conference, Justice Jackson emphasized that "no: mam will be given immunity because he has held a high military position if there is evidence to prove that he is a war criminal". Answering specific questions, he said the prospective military tribunal would not consider separate atrocities committed, for example by the 12th SS Division, but would consider the collective evidence for collec- tive punishment. Responding to another question, he said the same principle would apply in the case of unrestricted submarine warfare. Justice Jackson em- phasized that the defendants would be permitted to choose their own countrymen as defense counsel and witnesses. Baruch's Testimony. Bernard M. Baruch called for the removal or destruct-1io of all German heavy industry to "break once and for all Germany's dominance of' Europe". He told the Senate Military Affairs Committee today that anything lesE drastic would fail completely to provide the basis for a lasting peace. M~r. Baruch said. he believed his proposed settlement of the German question could. be used as the basis for a t~comprehensive, all-embracing agreement with Russia on the major peace problems" because it would solve the Russian question of security against Germany. Mr. Baruch testified as the first witness in a series of hearings on what should be done to prevent another war with Germany. Next week, State, Justice, Treasury and War Department witnesses will appear before a Military Affairs Sub- committee headed. by Senator Kilgore. lir. Baruch offered these suggestions to round out his recommendations of other steps essential to continued peace: (1) all agreements with other nations m,4st be in writing and promptly made public in full; (2) tightened peace-making machinery in the United States to give the nation leadership in the problem; ( -) th er e -3- (3) there should be a free "look-see"1 for all the United Nations throughout Europe; (4) the United States shoulJd use her good offices to persuade nations which still refuse to recognize Russia to do so; (5) occupation of Germany "as long as it takes for her spirituall and economic rebirth"'; (6) creation of a supreme European reconstruction council to coordinate reconstruction with the German settlement, reparations and. other problems; (7) reparations fixed at the maximum of Germany's capacity to pay consistent with security and not to under- cut living stand~ards by forcing exports; (8)development of a positive .American foreign economic policy, including tariffs, monetary agreements and foreign credits; and (9) raising human standards all over the world. Press Freedom. President Truman expressed the hope yesterday that "freedom of the press may become a vehicle of more sympathetic understanding and there- fore closer friendship among the nations of the world," In a letter to Wilbur Forrest# Chairman of the three-man Committee which recently completed a 40,000- mile world tour in interest of press freedom, Mr.
