Big Four Ministers
Begin Work Today on
Treaty for Germany
sy the Assoeiuted Pre-.

NEW YORK, Dec. 7.-Tackling
at last the central issue in re-
storing peace to Europe, the Big
Four Foreign Ministers gathered
today at their well-worn confer
ence table to begin debating the
fate of beaten Germany.
Secretary of State Byrnes I'M
tended also to urge at this or some
later session that a start be made
on a peace settlement for Austria,
which Soviet Foreign Minister Molo-
tov thus far has refused to discuss.
British Foreign Secretary Beyin was
reported ready to support the
Byrnes move. Both Mr.. Byrnes and
Mr.. Bevii have draft treaties for
Austria ready to submit to the Min
isters' Council if Mr.. Molotov will
agree.
Hope for Speed in Parleys.
a Diplomats privately expressed
hope that experience gained in writ
ing treaties for Italy. the Balkan
states and Finland-all now virtu-
ally finished-would speed the con-
ferences on Germany and, If pos
sible, Austria. British and American
officials were especially hopeful that
the attitude of compromise which
has characterized Mr.. Molotov's re-
cent approach to disputes over the
satellite treaties would continue into
the work on Germany.
How this work will be carried for
ward has already been fairly well
determined. The main task of the
Foreign Ministers Council, before
it ends its New York sessions next
week, is to agree on program OF
investigation for proposed COM
mission OF Big Four deputies. 1t
must also decide how to get the
views of Belgium, the Netherlands
and other countries vitally inter-
ested in what happens to Germany.
These deputies are expected to do
the spade work on the German set
tlement, covering such questions as
reparations, frontiers, creation OF q
central government and long-term
disarmament. Next year, probably
in February or March, the foreign
ministers themselves are due to
meet again, in Europe, and start
drafting the treaty.
Today's meeting was called for
1890 am. instead of the customary
pm. so that Mr.. Bevin might 60 to
Washington this afternoon. He has
a date with President Truman at
II am. tomorrow and will return
to New York Monday morning.

| Dream, Boy Says
By the Asseeiafed Press

GoLDTHoRPE, South Yorkshire,
England, Dec. 7.-Fifteen-year-old
Charles Wilfred Arter. says his 775-
foot fall down a mine shaft was
something like falling out OF bed
in your Sleep"
"It was like a dream" said the
pitboy, found yesterday with a
fractured leg on top of an elevator
cake at the bottom Of 1,554-foot
shaft in the scarborough main COL
liery near here.
Charles miraculaus escape from
death was attributed to the fact
that the elevator was descending
when he landed on it.
Halfway down, the cage would
be travelling about so miles an
hour" a colliery official told a Lon
don Daily Herald reporter. THE
speed of the boys fall at that point
would be roughly the same"

Low-Priced Shoes
Boosted By OPA
Raise Is Generally Set At 10 To
IL Per Cent

WASHINGTON. (4')-OPA last
Friday boosted prices 10 to Is per
cent on shoes selling generally at
$3.50 or less.
The increase. effective immedi-
ately on new shipments by manu-
facturers, applies to standard types
of mems, wOmen's and children )
shoes which We're being made dur
ing 1912
The purpose of the price hike is
to encourage production of low and
moderately priced footwear. Such
shoes. especially women's. practic-
ally have disappeared from the
market, OPA said, because manu-
facturers have found it more profit
able to turn out higher priced mer-
chandiSe
The price boost comes only a
month after suspension by the Ci-
william Production Administration
of wartime control which had di-
rected manufacturers to continue
To produce 1912 price lines of shoes
OPA agreed to removal of this con
troll on the ground that shoe pro.
ductiOn had increased so much il
no longer was needed.
