Molotov ended speculation today he would be absent from the Big Four foreign ministers conference at Geneva. He said he would leave here Oct. 25, two days before the meeting starts.

These diplomats speculated it might in dicate a shift in Soviet foreign policy • which would downgrade Molotov to "just a messenger I boy." Other diplomats noted that self-criticism is highly regarded I among Communists. - Molotov made no reference to the letter during the Canadian Embassy luncheon, according to persons present. They said he was his usual stern but pleasantly so cial .self. Earlier in the day, Pearson con ferred with Molotov at the Krem lin. Informed sources said they held "ve frank discussions."
