Secretary of State Acheson is
to fly to Paris next week
for a new discussion with Brit
ish Foreign Secretary Bevin and
French Foreign Minister Schu-
mann on German and other prob
lens facing the Big Three.
A State Department spokesman
said today that the three foreign
ministers had agreed that it was
desirable to meet now. but that it
still remains to be determined ex-
actly when they can get together
in Paris.
The British Foreign Office an
nounced in London that the meet
ing would be held in Paris next
week, and probably would begin
next Wednesday or Thursday.
Michael j. .McDermott, State
Department press officer, said,
however. that any announcement
Of the time Of the meeting is pre-
mature.
Difficult to Select Date.
Mr.. McDermott said there was
some difficulty in finding a date
that would be suitable for all
three foreign ministers. 1t was
indicated that Mr.. Acheson hopes
to go to Paris next week, although
not yet able to make definite
plans.
One Of the obvious difficulties is
that Mr.. Acheson must be in
Washington on November Is when
the Shah of Iran is scheduled to
arrive here on a state visit. This
indicates that the Big Three meet
ing will have to begin in time for
him to leave Paris by November
Is, a week from next Tuesday, or
be put off until the following
week.
Mr.. McDermott said it was ex-
pected that Mr.. Acheson and the
British and French foreign min
listers would discuss many world
problems, including the situation
in China and Indo- China as we'll
as Germany.
German Problems chiet Topic.
German problems. on which the
British are reported to fear the
Western Powers are beginning to
pull apart. are slated as the prin-
cipal subject of discussion. Mr..
Bevin and Mr.. Schumann are re-
ported to be anxious to make sure
that the three governments speak
with a single voice to the new
West German government.
Another problem that may re-
ceive attention is how far the
Western Powers will go in sup
porting Yugoslavia's Marshal Tito
in his rebellion against Kremlin
dictation if Moscow starts guer-
rilla warfare against him or
makes a direct armed attack.
Assistant Secretary of State
Allen, who has been named AM
bassador to Yugoslavia, said last
night that support of any coun-
try that Is threatened with ag-
gression. such as Yugoslavia at
the present time, merits the full
sympathy Of the American
people"
The British Foreign Office
spokesman listed only German
problems as definitely slated for
discussion at the Paris meeting,
however.
Bevin Urged Meeting.
Mr.. Bevin is reported to have
suggested the Paris meeting with
Mr.. Acheson and Mr.. Schumann.
They last talked together In New
York in September.
One OF the things said to be
the British, as well as the
French, involves signs of diver
gencies among the three powers
about the program of dismantling
German factories previously ruled
not essential to a peacetime econ
omy in Germany.
British Foreign Office sources
said the agenda for the Paris
still is under study, but
they listed the dismantling pro-
gram as one likely question for
discussion. Others they expected
to be covered are:
/. Whether to give the West
German government the power to
run its own foreign affairs.
2. Whether to establish rela-
tions with the Soviet-controlled
East German state.
3. Whether to extend interna-
tional control of the industrial
Ruhr valley to take in the heavy
industrial areas Of all of West
ern Europe.
4. Whether to revise the West
ern powers temporary occupation
statute for Germany to give the
Germans more power over their
own affairs.
