WILSON1 SAN FRANCISCO, April 30 (UR) United Nations delegates began a speed-u- p program today under the pressure of fear that this conference will begin to disintegrate the moment German resistance ends. Key conference figures are restless. The Europeans are especially uneasy as events impend back home. The British are promoting hurry-u- p procedure. A plan unofficially discussed would be for this conference to recess shortly after V-- E day. An interim commission In Washington could then be authorized to continue with international organization plans until full delegations could reassemble.
