IRON CURTAIN GETS
AMERICAN GOAT
Washington, June 28.
A storm of protest against the "iron curtain" of secrecy behind which the Parls conversations on the Marshall plan are proceeding was rais- ed on the front page of American newspapers today. Responsibility for the news blackout Is variously attributed to the Soviet and Bri- tish Foreign Ministers by Indignant corres- pondents. Mr. Paul Ward, of the "Baltimore Sun," bluntly attacks Mr. Bevin, suggesting that he is taking advantage of the absence of a United States delegation to abandon the policy of open diplomacy to which the United States Govern- ment is committed and to revert to a policy of secrecy which Mr. Bevin is alleged to believe to be more conducive to successful diploma- tic bargaining and manoeuvre,
