Call for Big -Four Farley
by Nh. As.eeioisd Pres.

MOSCOW, Jan. 8. - Soviet
writer Ilya Ehrenburg today
ridiculed French Premier Pierre
Mendes-France's suggestion that
a Big Four conference be held
after the Paris agreements on
West German rearmament are
ratified.
"Mendes-France assures every
body Ehrenburg wrote in

other words, the divisions Of the

We Soviet people know the
Germans can fight maybe the
French haven't forgotten about
that, either.
I'VE remember Hitler's hordes
who never knew defeat before
they started moving against US.
But this campaign didn't end at
Compiegne (where the French
surrendered to the Nazis) or
vichy but in the fall Of
Berlin. :"
Izyestia and other Soviet
newspapers today also took note
o fthe opening Of the new United
States Congress. They said that
although the Democrats are now
In control. there win be no
significant change In the tag
gressive" foreign policy Of the
United States.

Here for Tariff Talk
By The Assoeloted Press

Half q dozen cabinet officers
from the United States and Can
ada get together today in q one
day exploration Of thorny ques-
tions Of trade and tariffs.
The discussion. likely to bring
no hard and fast conclusions,
revolves around the general
agreement on tariff and trade
sessions reopening today at Ge-
neva, Switzerland.
C. D Howe, Canada's trade
minister, came back from the
Geneva session when 1t recessed
for Christmas with gloomy pre-
dictions. He said negotiations
were going badly and he could
not rule out possible collapse Of
the 37-nation agreement cover
ing about 80 per cent Of free
world trade.
He was reported In a happier
frame of mind when he arrived
in Washington last night, how
ever.
With Mr.. Howe are Canadian
Foreign Minister L. B. Pearson
and Finance Minister Walter
Harris. Their American counter
parts at today's meeting were
Secretary Of State Dulles, Secre-
tary Of Agriculture Benson and

As so often happens, life gave

more moving than any OF its
fictional ones. AS also happens
often. it was provided by Edward

a threat to ignorance than to
our national safety as he talked
of his work as head of the In
stitute for Advanced Study at
Princeton, NJ.
His work there is on a lofty
plane, considerably removed from
political maneuverings. AS he
talked, with very little prodding
by Mr.. Murrow, it became OBJ
vious why DR.. Oppenheimer and
the politicians are not likely ever
to see eye-to-eye. He Is no more
likely to understand their doings
than they are to understand one
Of his formulas describing what
is happening out there on the
blue fringe Of matter and energy.
Mr.. Murrow managed an aloof
objectivity without hiding COM
pletely his feelings, which isn't
easy to do. Even so. the program
still came of as q defense of Or.
Oppenheimer, explorer In intel
lect. ae
Before he was through talking.
the scientist made 1t obvious how
he feels about the order barring
him from the country's top
atomic secrets. He didn't make
it specific, but the impression
was unacceptable that he looks
on those decreeing the ban in
much the same way as he might
regard asbackward student who
couldn't fathom the Einstein
Theory.
"There aren't any secrets In
nature" said the man whose life
is devoted to probing for them.
There are secrets in the
thoughts and intentions of men. :"
The implication was that DR..
Oppenheimer is concerned with
the former and doesn't give q
boot for the latter. The further
implication was that there is no

probing mind Of any scientist.

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-Long-
shoremen Of the Port Of New
York have ratified q new c0r-
tract containing a no-strike
clause and designed to bring at
least two years Of labor peace
to the waterfront.
Members OF 81 New York and
New Jersey locals of the Inter-
national Longshoemen's Associ-
alton independently voted IL
STA to 4,222 in favor Of the new
tWo-year contract.
Sixty-two ballots were voided
out Of q total of 1886 cast In
all-day voting yesterday.
Rejected Last Month.
The dock workers voted to re-
ject q similar contract last De-
cember 10 BY q vote Of 6.l99 to
4,59O.
Most Of the opposition to the
original version Of the contract
stemmed from the clauses BAN
ming strikes and providing for
arbitration. This opposition was
overcome through negotiated
notifications of both clauses
/ Both contract drafts were
worked out by the unions wage
scale committee and represen-
tatives of the New York Ship
ping Association, representing
ITO shipping and stevedoring
companies.
After the ratification vote was
announced. Patrick j. (Packy)
Connolly, executive vice presi-
dent Of the union, said:
Il see peace for two years. It's
q good deal for the workers. the
shippers and the Port Of New
York."
Welfare Package.
The new contract grants q
wage-welfare -pension package OF
II cents an hour, with Is cents
Of il consisting Of pay. The old
dock wage was $2.35 an hour,
with the employers paying an
additional Z cents an hour for
welfare and scents for pensions
In addition to prohibiting
strikes, work stoppages and lock-
outs, the contract establishes ar
bitration machinery designed to
eliminate the wildcat stoppages
that have plagued the port fol
many years.
The contract also provides new
safeguards against the outlawed
shape-up system Of hiring -
under which the men lined ur
at the piers at the blast of 9
whistle and a hiring boss picked
the men he wanted to work.
The first union shop In the
ports history also Is provided.
