Big Four Discuss Differences.
Meanwhile, the Big Four-the
sponsoring powers of the confer
ence-tCIay are endeavoring to
settle differences which have arisen
over widened powers of discussion
accorded the general assembly of
the world organization as the char
ter now stands.
Russian Ambassador Andrei Gro
myko has informed his colleagues
that Moscow does not relish the idea
that the assembly is to become the
town meeting of the world-as it
has been called-in which any ques-
ton any nation wishes to raise may
be discussed.
This matter has been shoulder
ing for 10 days. 1t was brought to
the fore yesterday by Mr.. Gromyko
at meeting of the four presidents
of the conference.-the heads of the
United States, British, Russian and
Chinese delegations-which had
been called to discuss ways and
means of speeding the conference
to adjournment next Saturday.
New Meeting Called.
The seriousness of this latest con-
ference rift may be determined to-
day. The Big Four meet again for
further discussion not only on this
question, but also of the closing
ceremonies and the selection of
speakers at the final session in ad-
dition to President Truman.
Whether the question raised by
Russia will interfere with the plans
for completing the charter and ad-
journment next week end is not yet
clear. Mr.. Gromyko is reported to
have insisted that this is one of the
outstanding matters that remains to
be settled.
The Technical Committee in
charge of this part of the charter
on May % changed the language,
which said "Lhe general assembly
