Congress Names Delegation To Visit Nazi Atrocity Camps WASHINGTON, April 21 (U.R) A Congress outraged by Nazi atrocities responded swiftly today to Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower's proposal that a delegation be sent to Germany to make a first-hand report on horror camps overrun by the Allies. Congressional leaders, hopeful that the inspection would assure just punishment of war criminals, immediately appointed six senators sena-tors and six representatives who Hull (Continued from Page One) at "a later stage of the confer ence." Expresses Faith . Hull told Stettinius and "all participating nations" that there are "no differences or difficulties between them that cannot be over come within the United Nations security organization "I have profound faith that whatever the difficulties, the la bors .of the conference will be crowned with success." he said. shall follow Its work from afar with absorbing Interest." ' Hull's confident prediction came on the eve of important discus sions of those "differences and difficulties' 'among the big five diplomats gathering here. The talks will begin soon after Russian Foreign Commissar V. M. Molotov arrives here from Moscow Mos-cow late tonight or tomorrow. Although time will be short, he is expected to sit down with the American, British, Chinese and probably French foreign ministers minis-ters for pre-conference. delibera tions. The Allies arc confronted by a big three dispute over Po land's status among the United Nations, and the question of how to present at San Francisco a plan to place dependent areas under the "trusteeship" of the world organization. 1 U. S. diplomats were hopeful that both issues could be discussed before the parley begins. Second Conference Held Without waiting for Molotov, Stettinius and British Foreign Minister Anthony Eden held their second long conference of the week today. Eden said they covered cov-ered a "number of matters" and reached "complete agreement." He said his departure for San Fran cisco would depend on when Molotov arrives here. Other pre-conference develop ments were highlighted by the White House announcement that President Truman, speaking from Washington, would welcome se curity conference delegates with 10-minute radio address. It will be part of a half-hour radio broadcast starting at 7:30 p. m. (EWT) Wednesday which will in clude remarks by Stettinius and officials of San Francisco and the state of California.

The war de partment picked 17 newspaper and magazine editors to accompany tne congressmen. Eisenhower had sugested to President Truman that the con gressmen and editors visit the con centration camps where the atrocities occurred. "This visit is for the purpose of giving members of congress at first hand a picture of conditions which General Eisenhower says are almost impossible to describe in words," the war department said.
