MOLOTOV AND ENVOYS
AGAIN AT KREMLIN
Talks Still Shrouded In Complete Secrecy
NEXT STEP SPECULATION
Moscow, Aug. 9.—The envoys of the three Western powers met the Soviet Foreign Minister, M. Vyacheslav Molotov, for two hours and 40 minutes in the Kremlin tonight-their third meeting in a week.
After the conference, the envoys drove to the British Embassy for a dis- cussion among themselves. This lasted half an hour. Then the envoys returned to their Embassies to write their reports.
It was a hot summer afternoon as the three cars carrying the envoys swept through the Kremlin gates for the conference which began at 5 p.m. local time. Mr Frank Roberts, the British special representative, drove from the British Em- bassy in his shining black Humber car, flying the Union Jack on the bonnet. He mot the Ambassadors, General Walter Bedell Smith of the United States and M. Yves Chataigneau of France, at the Kremlin and they drove in together.
Mr Roberts told pressmen outside the Embassy after his return from the Kremlin: "We had a talk with M. Molotov. That is all. M. Smirnov (a Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister) was also present."
Nelther he nor the American General Bedell Smith's remark: "We ence armed with fresh Instructions and French Ambassadors would say will tell you the whole story" as from their Governments based on whether this would be the last being addressed to them sarcastical-their reports of Friday's meeting meeting with the Soviet Foreign ly.

Three children, -who- heard his screams, saw a “youtikish” man run out through a large hola in the wall of the building.
Running for help, they brought a passerby who cut down the body, which had been stripped except for an undershirt.

Jap Oil Tankers To

Toltyo, Aug. 9. Two tankers, manned and officered
by Japanese, left Japan for Persia last week to replace American tankers on the Persia-Japan oil run, reliable Japanese sources revealed to day.
This is the first time since the war that the Japanese merchant navy has been permitted in a foreign field. The tankers will be allowed in Hongkong or Singapore, the Japanese sources said.
The
decision to permit the tankers to use the world's sea lancs once again and to pick up oil for Japan from the Persian Gulf was reached at the recent Sterling, Area Conference here, British sources said today.
A spokesman of the headquarters of General Douglas MacArthur,, the Supreme Allied Commander in the Far East, said that all available Japhuese tankers would be used on the run.
The American Navy tankers and chartered ships that had been used could now be released for other urgent duties,
