Moscow Gets Next Big 4 Conference
 Secretary ByFnes
 Wins Guorontee
 Of Press Rights

New York, Dec. lo-(UPl-Selec- ton of Moscow as the site of the next Big Four Council of Foreign Ministers meeting was expected to- day to bring early Soviet support to an American plan to give the little United Nations a chance to state their views on Germany be- fore the Moscow meeting.
 The Big Four foreign ministers. planning to finish their work here this week, decided last night that they would begin drafting the Ger man and Austrian peace treaties in Moscow on March 10.
 But Secretary of State James ?. Byrnes placed two major conditions on that decision:
 i. That the Soviet Union
 guarantee to let the world press
 report the meeting as freely as
 the press has been able to re-
 port those held in Paris and in
 New York. Soviet Foreign Min
 ister Viacheslav M. Molotov gave
 such assurances.
 2 That the Big Four name
 special deputies on Germany
 here who would begin hearing
 at once the views of the little
 United Nations-especially Ger
 many's small ncighbors and the
 British douinions. Molotov
 asked for a little more time on
 this demand.
 Authoritative American sources revealed that Byrnes threw his support behind Molotov's invitation for the council eo meet in Moscow next on the theory that Molotov will adopt a more cooperative atti- tude on the German treaty if the drafting is done in Moscow
 Molotov issued the invitation Saturday. Early yesterday Byrnes told his American colleagues he was going to support Molotov's bid. He expressed belief that the mere fact wnrld history books will record the German settlement as ''the treaty of success" may encourage the Sovi- ct Union to attempt at all cost to avert a stalemate.
 The key to a Moscow meeting in March is Soviet acceptance of Byrnes' plan to name special depu- ties at ohce to begin preliminary work. The deputies primary job, under Byrnes' plan. would be to give the nations not members of the Council of Foreign Ministers q, chance to express their views be- fore and not after Big Four deci- sions have been taken.
 Major interest, however, centered around Molotov's promise to give the world press as free a rein to cover the Moscow conference as they have had at previous council gneet- ings in Paris and New York.
 It would be the first time that such a conference has been held in Moscow lunder such circumstances.
 In the Fall Of 1898. the then U. S. Secretary of State Cordeli Hull and the then British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden flew to Moscow for the first of the Big Three foreign ministers meetings. No correspond ents Were allowed to accompany them.
 The second Big Three foreign min isters meeting took place in Mos COW last December. A few cor- respondents representing papers and agencies not regularly represented in Moscow were allowed to go there, but they were under strictest Soviet censorship until the final communi- ques were issued.

Same Ceiling Prices
Ordered by 0PA on
| Brand Name Goods
By The Associated Pres,

OPA changed some of its price
tag rules today to end what one
official called "chiseling by some re-
tailers."
Involved are many so-called
brand name" items such as cloth
ing, shoes, furniture, rugs and show
er curtains. Usually well advertised
and sold on uniform price basis,
the retail price ceiling tag has been
placed on them by the manufac-
turer and producer.
Previously when this ceiling price
advanced, OPA allowed the retailer
to re-ticket his entire stock at the
new higher prices.
This must stop October IA, OPA
announced, so that sales are made
on basis of actual cost at the time
Of shipment-plus the legal profit
margin at that time
The result may be that some re-
tailers will be offering identical
brand names" at different ceiling
prices.
Too Much Sharp Practice.
"Too many retailers were getting
wind of impending price increases"
the OPA official told q reporter.
Then they would hold their entire
stocks back, wait for new ship
ment and reticket the whole lot at
the higher price"
Other price developments In
cluded:
l. Higher ceilings on some cotton
knitWear which OPA said might
bring. increases as high as 80 per
cent.
! 2. A cutback of raw sugar allowed
to manufacturers of bulk sweetened
condensed milk after November /.
OPA said the milk condensers would
get about 10000 less tons of raw
sugar annually.

of coffee on the grounds that sup
plies are ample to meet demands.
1t may take several weeks before
this reaches final decision by the
Decontrol Board.
Higher Garment Output Sought.
The cotton knitwear increase, ef-
fective today, allows incentive pric-
ing to increase production of staple
items such as polo shirts, tee shirts,
ichildren's two-piece cotton suits,
cotton sweaters and creepers.
Previously these incentive price
hikes had been limited to low-cost
items and then subject TO cut
of price" above which they could
not rise. Today's action brings
higher-priced staple items under the
increase and includes knitted outer
wear, long pants and overalls.
| Based on previous experience with
increases to stimulate production o.
low-cost garments, OPA said retail
prices will run around 80 per cent
higher"
OPA said the cutback In sugar
condensers was recommended by the
Agriculture Department because the
industry was obtaining too large a
share of limited sugar supplies. 1t
added that even with the reduction,
the bulk sweetened condensed milk
would equal an average of l943-45.
