MR BYRNES’S POSITION
POSSIBILITY SEEN OF RESIGNATION (Rec. 2 a.m.) LONDON, Sept.* 16. “Mr Byrnes is carrying his resignation in his pocket," says the Paris correspondent of the “Evening Standard.” “Not until he hean from the White House the reault of the ‘showdown’ conference today between Mr Truman and Mr Wallace will he reach a final decision. I “One of Mr Byrnes’s intimate friends stated that Mr Byrnes regarded Mr Wallace’s incursion into foreign affairs as temporarily destroying much of the effectiveness of his policy. The friend added: ‘This intolerable situation cannot continue much longer.”* ' The correspondent says it is felt in Paris that only a new deolaration of policy by Mr Truman can restore Mr Byrnes’s authority. Mr Truman may ask him to go to Washington at the week-end for consultations. He may be accompanied by Senator Connally and Senator Vandenberg.
