-Four Considered
For Italian Premier
By the Associated Pres.

ROME. Feb. 5.-President
Luigi Einaudi studied the names
of four men today who might
pull Italy out of her government
crisis.
All Christian Democrats, the
four are:
Former Premier Alcide de
Gasperi, whose eighth cabinet
was defeated last summer.
Former Premier Giuseppe
Pella. who resigned January 5
when his party failed to back
him
Giovanni Gronchi, Chamber
OF Deputies president and left
wing leader
Former Interior Minister
Mario Scelba, a tough Sicilian
who is enemy No. for Italy's
Communists.
There seemed little chance
that any of the four would mus
ter enough support for Mr..
Einaudi to call him to the pre-
miership by this week end. as
had been expected.
The strongest seemed to be
Mr.. de Gasperi.

How toAdjournDi plomoticoIIy
Is Problem of Big 4 Session
With Attitudes Of Both Sides Hardening,
West Must Find Handy Way to Retire

told Soviet Foreign Minister
Molotov that If his proposals for
Germany are really what he says
they are that would be a very
tragic conclusion for this con-
ference to have to end on so far
as Germany is concerned" An
official British spokesman has
gone further:
1.-THE rejection of the Eden
plan for free elections and uni
fication. and the tabling of the
unacceptable Soviet plan makes
1t difficult to see how the con-
ference can reach agreement on
the German question"
Since Mr.. Molotov has formally
rejected the British proposal for
unification, all that remains is
for the West TO turn thumbs
down on the Soviet scheme for
German reunification-a scheme
calculated. according to Mr..
Dulles, to extend "the system
Of the East German republic to
all Of Germany"
Amendments Unlikely.
Although Mr.. Molotov at the
end Of yesterdays session left
the door open with vague refer
ences to possible amendment of
his plan. it seems inconceivable
that any amount of tinkering
could make it acceptable to the
allies.
Once the Big Four agree to
drop the German question and
take up the Austrian treaty
the rush for the exits will be
on. Even members of the Aus
trian delegation here admit
there is no real hope for them as
long as the future of Germany
remains up in the air.
Logically. one might expect the
Berlin conference to wind up on
note Of dismal failure some
time next week.. But the ques-
ton of who will make the move
and how it will be done remains.
Reds May Prolong Talks.
For his part. Mr.. Molotov is
not expected to be helpful. The
guess is he will try to spin things
out as long as possible, reviving
all the old hints of compromise
on a global basis. offering minor
concessions here and there and
talking endleSsly on every issue
that could possibly serve the in
terests of Soviet propaganda. If
pinned down. he can always sug-
gest continuing talks by deputies.
or offer to reconvene the con-
ference later.
None Of these possibilities is
agreeable to the allies. Above
all. Western trategists want a
clean, sharp breakoff of these
negotiations once Russia's true
intentions in Central Europe
have been exposed. The hope
Of a reconciliation between East
and West has already had a
paralyzing political effect in
Western Europe.
To perpetuate that hope in
the face Of the clear evidence
produced in Berlin might be

Pope Getting Weaker

Private Physician Issues
First Official Bulletin
On Pontiffs Condition
BY the Associated Pres.

VATICAN CITY, Feb. 5.-Pope
Plus difficulty in taking food
has continued to weaken him,
said the first official bulletin is
sued on his condition today by
his private physician.
The bulletin, issued by Prof.
Riccardo Galeazzi-Lisi. said it is
hoped "as soon as possible to
repeat particular X-ray exami-
nations to determine the condi-
ton both of the (Pope's) gastric
area as well as of other organs
in that area"
The bulletin said that "since
January Is. the holy father has
showed. together with light
fever, symptoms of gaStritis,
preceded by insistent hiccups."
Clinical Examinations Made.

Hyper-azotemia is an abnor-
mally high concentration of
norl-protein nitrogen, especially
urea. in the blood.
tThe Pope is now being fed

tons and a Swiss specialist
in uremic poisoning, DR..
Mihaus. has been called in

dispatch from George Weller,
foreign correspondent of The
Star and Chicago Daily News

said the 77-year-old Pope has
continued to. weaken.
THE general state, weakened
by excessive, prolonged labor.
both mental and physical. has
| suffered a further weakening be-
I cause of the fatiguing gastric
disturbance and the difficulty of
feeding"
Anxiety Is Underlined.
The bulletin underlined the
anxiety felt for the Pope's con-
dition. It was believed to be
the first one ever issued by his
personal physician.
The bulletin said previous
X-ray examinations had shown
the Pope's gastric area and or
| gans in that area to be normal.
It did not say. however. when
these examinations had been
made.
THE hiccups." the bulletin
said, have vanished for three
days"
The official bulletin was pre-
coded by a brief announcement
that it was made in reply to
anxious queries from many au-
thorities and members of the
Roman Catholic Church from all
parts of the world.
Concern Increases.
The Pontiff has now been i'll
for more than 10 days. Scanty,
occasional communicates have
maintained persistently that he
was continuing to improve.
Prof. Galeazzi-Lisi, spent more
time than usual at the Pope's
bedside today, contributing to
the increased worry.
The Vatican press Office has
described the Pope's ailment as
malfunctioning of the neuro di-
gestive tract. This has resulted
in intermittent hiccups that
have from time to time dis
turbed his sleep and weakened
him.

Beeson Offers
ToCut All Ties
With His Firm
Nominee to NLRB
Would Drop Pension,
He Tells Senators
a.
By Allen Drury

Albert c. Beeson today volun-
teered to sever all connections
with the, Food Machinery &
Chemical Corp. of San Jose,
Calf, if the Senate confirms
him for a seat on the National
Labor Relations Board.
Mr.. BeeSon made his offer at
a Senate Labor Committee hear
ing after Chairman Smith, Re-
publican, of New Jersey had re-
peatedly challenged Democrats
to say whether such a statement
would end their criticism of the
nominee.
Much of the Democratic OPP
position to Mr.. BeeSon has been
based on the charge that he is
retaining his pension right. with
the California firm on q leave
of-abSence basis.
Called From Audience.
After Senator Lehman, Demo-
crat, of New York, protested that
it was mot for me to tell Mr..
Beeson what to do" Senator
Smith called Mr.. Beeson from
the audience.
Are you willing to send a
resignation, without any ifs, butts
or andS, to this company, to take
effect if you are confirmed by
the Senate, on the day you as
sumo your duties on the Labor
Relations Board?" he asked.
Eyes sir" Mr.. Beeson said
angrily. I'm the light of the
time that's being wasted here
from the Government work, I
am. I think this is q bad prec-
edent as far as men with much
larger pensions are concerned,
but if it will make the Demo-
cratic members happy. my wife
and myself are willing to make
this sacrifice"
Kennedy Raises Question.
Senator Kennedy, Democrat,
of Massachusetts,, Immediately
said he thought it was very UNI
fortunate that Mr.. Beeson
should be called up before a
large room full of people and be
required to make what is prob
ably q real sacrifice for him."
He demanded to know If the
statement had been pre-ar-
ranged. ~
II told Mr.. Beeson," Senator
Smith replied, that in view of
this discussion over words as to
whether he had actually resigned
or not. I'd like to ask him If he'd
be willing to maks such a state
ment. Mr.. Beeson said he was
willing to do it. and now he has"
Got Leave Of Absence.
Earlier. Paul Davies, president
Of Food Machinery. testified that
he had automatically given Mr.
Beeson leave of absence from
the company in the assumption
that he might wish to return
after his Government service
was completed. He said he and
Mr.. Beeson did not discuss re-
tention of approximately $4,000
Mr.. Beeson has contributed to
a pension fund, but explained
that his pension rights would
automatically be continued
under leave Of absence. The
leave, he said. normally runs for
one year out may be extended
at the discretion of the company.
He said he was "dumbfound-
ed" by Mr.. Beeson's offer of
complete resignation, since it
would mean "a terrific financial
sacrifice for him." He said Mr..
Beeson as member of the NLRB
would receive approximately
$4,000 year less than his $16,-
600 annual salary as labor re-
lationS man with the company.

Faculty Unit
Tears Editor

Restoration Of regular cabinet
press conferences was suggested
yesterday by James Russell
Virgins. vice president and man.
aging editor Of the Washington
Post, in a luncheon address be-
fore the Faculty Women's Club
Of the George Washington Uni
versity.
Mr.. Virgins pointed out that
the Presidents press conference
has become a firmly estab-
lished institution" which gives
citizens information about the
operation of the executive branch
Of his Government.
During the last war and for
the last several years. however.
the press conference generally
has fallen into disuse," Mr..
Virgins said.
He added he felt sure, that
all the heads of Government de-
partments would again be hold
ing regular press conferences If
the people Of the country under
stood the purpose for which they
are held"
when that day arrives" he
declared, Americans will have
a lot better insight into what the
Government is doing"
Mr.. Virgins said the tendency
of Government for the last
decade or more has been a re-
turn to secret sessions. This. has
been noticeable in the legIsla-
tive as we'll as the judicial arms,
he said, not only at the national
level but at the State level.
The trend is a challenge to
the country's press. which can
only inform the public to the
extent that it has freedom of
access to information. a freedom
that is implicitly guaranteed by
the Constitution. the editor
pointed out.
Yesterdays luncheon was held
in the National Press Club audi
forum.
