FormaIS ISovietp Proposal
Is Awaited by U. 5. on
Italian Colony Session
BY 'he Associnied Press

A State Department official said
last night that this country's de-
cision on Big Four foreign minis
ters meeting to discuss disposition
OF former Italian colonies awaits a
formal proposal from Moscow.
An informal suggestion for such a
session before September Is was re-
ported by Tass and the Moscow
radio Friday, attributed to George
n Zarubln, Russian Ambassador to
London.
Inc Russian reports said Mr..
zarubln made his proposal to the
foreign ministers deputies, meeting
In London. The deputies reportedly
have failed to reach any agreement
on the Italian colony question. Un-
Ger the italian peace treaty the
ma ter is to be referred to the
United Nations General Assembly
un'ess the American. British. Rus
slan and French forei gn ministers
get together on it before September
Is.
Michael McDermott, State De-
partment press officer, told a re-
ported last night, however, that
this country had made no decision
and would reserve jedsment pend
ing formal approach by Russia.
The Moscow radio accused the
American. British and French
deputies in London of "evading i'm
fermentation of the italian peace
treaty decision regarding the form
er Italian colonies"
1t said the British and American
delegates took the position that
any further consideration of the
matter was up to the foreign minis
ters themselves.
American diplomats who would
not be quoted by name said the
American position is that the
deputies meeting is not the place
for proposal for a meeting of the
foreign ministers on a specific ques-
tion to originate.

time to get more powerful gun to
do my deed. I want an Army As
