It is clear now that the conference con-ference will end sooner than was anticipated, but the Anglo-Amer ican delegations are non-com- mital on whether Byrnes and Bevin will spend Christmas here. In addition to the Big Three foreign ministers, yesterday's Informal In-formal session included Harriman. Harri-man. British Ambassador Sir Archibald Clark Kerr and British Brit-ish Foreign undersecretary Sir Alexander Cadogan. Diplomatic observers expressed the opinion that Prime Minister Josef Stalin's return from the Caucasus had contributed meas urably to the heightened tempo. Optimism prevails on final possibilities pos-sibilities of the tripartite conference, con-ference, but Anglo - American sources remain reticent. Much of the potential success of the conference depends on whether a satisfactory solution can be reached on postwar control con-trol of atomic energy, which the British and Americans now are taking up with the Russians.
