Big-4 Deputies
Meet At Paris
PARIS, </P)—Russian and West
ern Powers deputies sat down at a
conference taible here today after
Britain, France and the United
States served notice that there
won’t be any major Big-Four con
ference unless the Russians are
prepared to talk about problems
other than Germany.
The deputies of the four nations
met at the pink marble palace
(Palais Rose) on Avenue Foch.
Their job is to find out whether
an agenda can be arranged for the
foreign ministers of the four big
powers.
Soviet deputy foreign minister
Andrei Gromyko was the last of
the four to arrive. His Russian au
tomobile, flying the red flag with
hammer and sickle, pulled up after
the other three already ^ere on

joined U. S. ambassador at large
Philip Jessup. Britain’s Ernest Da
vies and France’s Alexandre Pa
rodi. ’
The four deputies sat down at a
round table, with Parodi presid
ing, and the first session was un
der way.
Earlier Jessup spoke for the
three western countries in saying
that if the Soviets want to limit
the topics for a Big-Four meeting
to Germany, there is little chance
the higher level conference will
take place. He told a news confer
ence the three western countries
are fully in accord in their views.
