Big -Four Talks
Open Today 10
Finish Treaties
Foreign Ministers
Tackle Lost Issues
Blocking Peace
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-Around
an oval white pine table, high in
a skyscraper hotel, the Big Four
Foreign Ministers meet today to
tackle the last great issues block
ing the peace of Eastern Europe
and to try, if they can, to make
a start on settling the future OF
Germany.
Secretary of State Byrnes, Foreign
Ministers Molotov of Russia and
Bevin of Britain, and Deputy Fore
ign Minister Couve de Murville of
France agreed to open their sessions
at 4 pm.
Mr.. Byrnes conferred for an hour
with Mr.. Bevin at midmorning and
later saw Mr. Couve de Murville.
He was expected also to see Mr..
Molotov before formal convening of
the Council.
Their presence here and that of
the 51-member United Nations As
sembly made this city for the time
being the diplomatic center of the
world and an arena in which Rus
sia and the Western powers may
test to the limit their ability to
solve critical issues of peace making
and peace keeping.
Treaties Are Big Task.
The Assembly, now operating
through committees rather than in
formal sessions, already was knee
deep in such problems as what to
do about Franco Spain and how to
handle vigorous small nation at
tacks on the veto system. Both
these issues seemed certain to have
high priorities on the Assembly g
65-item agenda.
The assigned task of the Foreign
Ministers is to put into final shape
peace treaties for Italy, Finland,
Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria.
These treaties, together with those
eventually to be written for Ger
many and Japan, are designed to
build out of the political wreckage
Of World War II the peace which
the United Nations was organized
to make permanent and secure.
But like the United Nations-in
whose sessions some of them may
occasionally participate-the For
eign Ministers have to meet and re-
solve major controversies before
they can count their tasks accom-
plished.
Disputes Left Over.
The main disputes left over from
the 21-Nation Peace Conference
which ended at Paris October 20 are
these:
Trieste-it has been agreed that
the strategic Adriatic port, claimed
by both italy and Yugoslavia, should
be placed under the United Nations
Security Council. Yugoslavia has
held out for lax control, presum-
ably hoping to take over the port
eventually. and has said she would
refuse to sign the italian peace
treaty as now drawn.
A possible break in this situation
as indicated last night when Yugo-
slav Deputy Foreign Minister Ales
Bebler said here that his country
'is willing to do whatever she can
in order that an agreement between
the Allies be reached" on the Italian
treaty.
Danube navigation-by the now
famous votes of IS to 6, with Russia
in the minority, the Paris Confer
ence wrote into the Ronlanian, Hun
garian and Bulgarian treaties
clauses for freedom of navigation on
the Danube, whose prewar traffic
flow of 100000 tons a year is now
dried up. Despite the Paris decisions
Russia has a veto in the foreign
ministers meeting, and Molotov's OBJ

Arbitration Plan
Indicates End
OF fTWAStrike
Opposing Sides
Accept in Principle;
Meeting Scans Details
BY the Associoted Press

Federal Mediator Frank P.
Douglass today announced a
tentative agreement which he
said might lead to an early end
of the 15-day strike of Trans
World Airline pilots.
Mr.. Douglass said opposing sides
had accepted in principle his pro-
poSal for arbitration of wage and
other differences and arranged a
meeting here this morning to COM
plete the details.
A few points remain to be clari-
fed, the mediator said. When that
is done he said he expects termina-
ton of the walkout which has halted
the company's international opera
tions and thrown $4,000 other en-
ployes out of work.
Panel Would Decide Issues.
This proposed agreement would
provide that the 400 pilots go back
to flying while demands for higher
pay for four ur-engine plane flyers and
for revised working rules are SUBJ
mitted to a panel whose decision
would be binding.
David L. Behncke, president of the
AFL Air Line Pilots Association, ac-
cepted the arbitration offer by tele-
gram and also sent letter, Mr..
Douglass said, giving his interpreta-
ton of some of the points covered.
Jack Frye, TWA president, also
offered his Interpretation of some
points. the mediator said, and the
two views will be reconciled in con-
ferences.
These discussions probably. will be
between John NJ. Dickernan, Wash
ington attorney for the union, and
a company official.
Behncke Awaits Details.
In Chicago Mr.. Behncke said he
was waiting to hear further from
Mr. Dickerman before making a
statement. He said he probably
would comment on the agreement
later today.
TWA officials have said that some
flying operations along the COM
pany's $4,000 miles of routes could
be started as soon as the pilots
agreed to return to work, but that
it would take a few days to get
the entire system back to normal.
Meanwhile, the White House was
picketed today by 16 nonunion TWA
employees in New York who paraded
in front of the Hamilton Hotel here
yesterday and this morning.
The pickets are urging the strik-
ing pilots to return to duty during
negotiations of disputes leading to
the walkout, it was explained by their
spokesman, Thomas r. Sawyers.
Two of the pickets carried a mock
corpse and a sign reading: Here
lies American freedom, born 1776,
killed 1916 by strikes" They were
preceded by another carrying
flowers.
Another sign read: eve demand
Government action to end the TWA
strike"
The Hamilton was picketed, Mr..
Sawyers said, because Mr.. Behncke
is registered there.
Mechanics Vote to Stay Out.
TWA mechanics voted in Kan
sas City yesterday not to return to
their jobs until demands for 10 days
pay under a notification clause in
their contract is met.
Lee Chapman of Washington, ma
tional representative of the Inter-
national Association of Machinists.
was quoted that 1000 of the 1880
members employed by TWA had
voted unanimously to stay away
from work.
R. E. Oerbland, representative Of
the pilots union, was quoted as tell
ing the mechanics the pilots would
not take their planes into the air
until the mechanics are satisfied.

Drive Against Chefoo
Becomes FuN-ScaIe
Offensive
Chinese NutionuIists

u. S. CHINA TREATY held not af-
fecting internal strife. Page Az
BY the Assoeioted Press

PEIPING, Nov. 4.-The govern
ment's offensive against Chefoo
exploded today into a full-scale
campaign for the entire Shan
tung Province, while across the
Gulf of Chihli the Nationalists
swiftly were squeezing the Com
munist Army out of the Liaotung
Peninsula.
Loss of Shantung, one of the
Reds principal strongholds in North
China, would be a severe blow.
AS government troops continued
their assault on Chefoo, the Com
munists' principal port in Shantung,
other armies launched campaign
against the Tsingtao-Tsinan rail-
road, 100 miles south. Government
sources said the Nationalists cap
tured Pingtu, 81 miles north Of
Tsingtao.
Reds Move in Reinforcements.
simultaneously, Communist REIN
forcements from Northern Kiangsu
Province began moving into Shan
tung, and fighting was reported at
several places along their route.
A separate government offensive
had moved quietly down Manchuria s
Liaotung Peninsula to within 80
miles of Russian-held Dairen, and
was awaiting Soviet permission to
enter that port. Dairen, one possi-
BE major northern terminus OF the
Chinese Liaotung-
Shantung sea lane, is only IS miles
from the nearest Shantung shore.
In the Shantung fighting. National
troops repeatedly took Yehsien, IS
airline miles southwest of embattled
Chefoo and were meeting fresh Com
munist assaults at points as much
as 40 miles beyond Yehsien. Other
government units were reported bat
Ting for Weihaiwei, some 40 miles
east of Chefoo.
Ddh EhVSAs
Chefoo itself, the Communist
Shantung port, was hit by amphibi-
GUS forces from the sea and fighting
inside the city was continuing, ac-
cording to the last government re-
ports. Government sources acknoWl-
edged, however, that land thrust
toward Chefoo from the south had
stalled on the outskirts OF the port.
Peiping press dispatches said there
was widespread rumor in Dairen
that Government troops would enter
the city "at any moment" There
was no official news, however.
Farther north, 'said-pro-govern-
ment reports, national troops drove
125 miles east of Mukden to take
Tunghwa. Other units were moving
to the Jehol Province border, nearly
an equal distance to the west of
Mukden.
Battles continued, meanwhile,
along the Peiping Hankow railroad
in North China's Hopeh Province.
Government reinforcements report
edly were within seven miles of Red
besieged Paoting, provincial capital.
A fresh Communist thrust also was
reported 26 miles north of Peiping,
Just east of the Peiping- -Kalgan
railroad.
