June l'(I UP President Truman,
resting in the northwest, today
sought to have the Cnited Natii.ns
c inference at San Francisco end
Saturday on schedule, but the ap-
peared to Ih- having little success.
The big five were reported
near agreement today, en the
last major problem of the United
Nations conference—the scope of
debate to In- allowed a 30-nation
w orld assembly. ,
Andrei Gremyko beading the
Russian delegation, was reported
lo have promised to the United
Stales, Great Britain, China and
France, a change in wording of u
compromise suggestion made on
the part o,' Mill I1 nations b/ Her*
licit V. Evatl of Australia.
Word came trom a closed door
meeting in the penthouae of Scc-
relary of Stale Stettinius that
Gromyko, i.ciing on instructions
Irom Moscow, toid other hig five
chairmen his government was
v !!uig to accept the principle
laid down in the Kvatt proposal.
ioc Kvatt i'-i- would permit liic
general assembly to .discuss "any
matters covered by the purposes
and principals of the charter or
within the sphere-of action of the
United Nations" and make recom-
mendations lo the league members
or to a world security council, on
such questions.
The original Russian demand,
voiced last week, was for reten-
tion in the charter of the lan-
guage of the Dumbarton Oaks
lortnula. It said that debate in the
general assembly should be limit-
i-d to matters affecting the main-
tenance ol international peace and
security.
