TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 23. 1954 Mendes/min/are SugdeOs dig Four - . 0 imference .. UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., Nov. 22 (ILO—Premier Pierre Mendes- France today suggested a Big Four conference on outstanding prob lems—but only after the Western iEuroilean nations and the United States have ratified the London and Paris agreements to free and rearm West Germany , . The French Prethier told the of United States, Britain, France and the Soviet Union could be held next May in PariS. He said the agreements should be ratified by the countries concerned by that tithe and added : that an agreement on an Austrian treaty would be a happy prelude to such a session. Rejecting with %few Words the recent Soviet proposals for a se curity conference of 20 to 25 coun tries, Mendes-Fronde said that an agreement on' Austria "would do mote to improve the international climate than ten Spectacular an nounceinerits of conferences pub lished solely for propaganda pur po.ses." He praised President Eisentiow er's atorris-for-peace program and said ,France would cooperate in it and in measures being pursued in the Disarmament Commission to limit armaments. .The short, stocky- Pretnier, Who formerly served as a delegate to sessions of the UN Economic and Social Council, touched on a var iety of international problems in his 37-minute address. However, he obtained the greatest attention on his suggestion for a meeting of the Big Four...He was applauded by all delegates except the Soviet bloc. The absence of Soviet Chief Delegate Andrei Y. Vishinsky ftom the assembly hall, while Metides-France spoke was the first tip that all was not well with the Russian delegate. He died be fore the , Premier spoke but his death was not made knoWn Until almost an hour after Mendes- France finished. Vishinsky Dies-- (Continued from page one) lar performer on the world stage since he prosecuted Stalin's blood purge two decades ago. He was a master of withering scorn and searing satire. Vishinsky's death, ,while it re moves a colorful figure from the cold War, can have litlte effect upon the course of Moscow's rela tions with the Western• world. Vishinsky, however brilliant his performance, consistently carried out orders..from the Kremlin to the letter. ' He was the mouthpiece abroad of the regime of Premier Georgi M. Malenkov, just as he was the mouthpiece of the Stalin regime, relaying Soviet policy in speeches laced with fiery invective. To many in the West, Vishinsky became a symbol of Soviet stub bornness, the man who time after time used a Security Council veto to block any decisive action op posed by Moscow. There Were times when he appeared to have overstepped his authority, but he always escaped serious conse quences—just as he was one of the few earlier followers of Leon Trotzky to escape Stalin's wrath.

When he saw Dr. Sheppard a day after the murder, the de fendant wept and told him, "Why couldn't they have •killed me in stead of Marilyn, because Chip-- his son—would need Marilyn more than he would need me:" 3. During this same conversa ton, Dr. Sheppard's elder brother Stephen advised the defendant, "You should review in your mind several times a day the sequence of events as they happened as that you will have your story straight when questioned."

He was under cross-exam ination less than 10 minutes—the shortest period of any state wit ness thus. far in the• trial, now in. its sixth week. • 'Dr. Hoversten, a tall, almost bald man with rugged. yol='-i-,*-41 features, is a Glensdale, Calif. osteopath.
