Molotov and Bevin Clash Over Conference Procedures
Soviet Foreign Commissar V. M. Molotov threatened to leave the foreign ministers conference after a heated exchange with British Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin. The dispute centered on a Sept. 11 decision allowing France and China to attend all discussions and on adherence to Potsdam terms, with Molotov accusing Bevin of Hitlerian methods and threatening to withdraw unless Bevin’s remark was rescinded. The session paused as tensions rose and no clear agreement emerged.

Roosevelt Troubles Rise in Congress Over Tax Question
In Washington on October 2, Elliott Roosevelt’s financial troubles prompt fresh congressional questions. A 409000 word record of the probe was filed with the House, and Ways and Means members debate whether Elliott owes income tax on 196000 not repaid from a 200000 loan by John A Hartford.
