Expect Big Three to rush plans, meet tonight
Where Big 3 will meet
Map locates Potsdam, outside Berlin, where President Truman, Prime Minister Churchill and Generalissimo Stalin will meet. Sessions will begin Monday or Tuesday.
LONDON, England (UP, July 14) – President Truman, Prime Minister Churchill and Premier Stalin converged on the shattered German capital of Berlin tonight.
They will confer there amid the ruins wrought by their armies in search of the means of an enduring world peace.
The advance guard of their top advisers were arriving at the closely-guarded capital. The three leaders themselves are expected to confer for the first time at suburban Potsdam Sunday night, opening a historic 10-day conference which will seek agreement on an intricate maze of political, economic and military problems. Detailed discussions official party will enter waiting automobiles for a 45-to-60-minute drive to Brussels where they will board the presidential C-54 plane for the two-and-a-half-hour flight to Potsdam, near Berlin. Sawyer will accompany the party as far as Brussels.
The route from Antwerp to Brussels will be guarded by American troops. The conference will begin Monday.
Last-minute preparations in the sealed-off conference area of Hohenzollern palaces and woodlands at Potsdam set the stage for the meeting. A freshly-painted green and white barrier guards the road into the forbidden zone. Green-capped Russian troops manned the barrier and stood guard at 50-yard intervals along the highway.
All visitors barred
All visitors, including newspapermen, were forbidden to pass the barrier. Marshal Stalin of Russia was host as he was at Yalta. Potsdam is in the Russian occupation zone.
A small airfield in the British zone of Berlin has been isolated, and it is probable that Prime Minister Churchill will arrive there by plane from his vacation castle at Hendaye.
Dispatches from Berlin said President Truman and Marshal Stalin were expected to arrive in the United States and Russian sectors respectively. The Big Three probably will greet each other for the first time in the vast Potsdam Palace set aside for the conference.
The first important arrivals set down at two secret areas a few miles from Berlin early this evening. Their identities and the areas where they landed could not be disclosed, as the whole meeting is surrounded with comprehensive security precautions.
Americans reach Gibraltar
Dispatches from Gibraltar said a huge American transport plane landed there early Saturday, loaded with Americans. Names of those aboard and their destination were matters of secrecy. The plane left almost immediately.
Prime Minister Winston Churchill was still at Hendaye early Saturday, but dispatches from Berlin during the day said he was expected to arrive “in the most imminent future” together with Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden and Labor Leader Clement Attlee.
Prime Minister T. V. Soong of China left Moscow for Chungking at dawn Saturday after more than a week of discussions with Stalin and prominent Soviet leaders.
Will be resumed
These discussions were only interrupted by the Big Three meeting, Moscow dispatches said, and will be resumed in about three weeks. The British press speculated that Soong had asked Stalin to join China’s allies in the war against Japan.
Resumption of the Sino-Soviet talks in Moscow will be paralleled by Anglo-American talks in London, where preparations are already begin made to receive President Truman after the Big Three conference. British officials planning for his reception are working on a tentative arrival date of July 25. The American President is expected to say at Buckingham Palace for three days as the guest of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth.
