Big Four Talks
Bas<>d on Two
Considerations
By UNITED PRESS
The flurry of talk about a Big
Four conference is really based on
two considerations.
First—it seems to be an attempt
by our government with the aid of
the Democrats to offset some of he
bad. reaction aboard to publication
of the, Yalta secrets.
Second—it appears to be designed
to force an Issue with Russia ns
soon as the German arms treaties
are finally ratified.
The second consideration is the,
must important although the first
is the most urgent because it may
help Premier Faure to get the Ger-
man Arms Treatie*s finally ratified
tills week by tlie French Senate.
The remarming of West Germany
is not popular in EurApe, even
among the West Germans them-
selves. And the apparent reluct-
ance of the United States to nego-
tiate with Russia makes German
rearamamejit even more unpopular
with the Europeans.
Therefore .Senator George's prop-
osal for a Big Three parley ap-
pears to have been welcomed by the
Eisenhower administration. It pro-
vided a chance to state strongly
once again our willingness to talk
with the Russians as soon as Mos-
cow will give some evidence, it real-
ly wants to do business.
President Elsenhower went a long
way in his news conference today
to clear- away some of the confusion
cerated by the conflicting state-
ments of Senator George and Sena-
tor Knowland about Big Four tails.
The President doesn’t want jo
meet Soviet Premier Bulganin
to face without careful prejmration
on a lower level. He won't have Red
China involved in settling European
problems—tout he stressed that the
United State* is willing to make
concessions to Russia for peace —
without spelling out what those
concessions would be.

Cotton Producing
States Trying To
Reach Agreement
Washington, D. C. (UP).—Sena-
tors from cotton - producing states
are trying to reel) agreement here
on legislation that would increase
cotton acreage allotments, particu-
larly for small farmers.
There, are five proposal* pending
that would increase cotton acreage
by from .about $258,000 to about
543,000 acres. The Senate postponed
action on the question yesterday
when cotton states Senators dis-
agreed over the proposals.
A House-approved bill would in-
cera.se,s allotments of all cotton-
growing states by three per cent
with a minimum to e£ch farmer of
five acres or the highest number of
acres planted to cotton in the
past three years, whichever Is the
smaller. Such an increase would
total 543,000 acres.
The Senate Agriculture Commit-
tee recoumnened a substitute that
would add up to 258,000 acres, Its
distribution formula calls for every
farmer to get at least fou* acres
or three-fourths of his highest cot-
ton acreage of the last three years
whichever is the smallest. States
also would bet a one,-half per cent
overall additional Increase.
Senators from Arkansas,, Okla-
homa, Texas and the Western
states charge the Agriculture Com-
mittee bill was unfair to them. They
say Arkansas, Oklahoma and Tex-
as already have taken care of thq
small farmer* and, for that reason
would not get proportionately as
large an Increase as other Sou-
thern states whJch had not yet done
so. The, Western states don’t have
any small cotton fanners, they said.

Peress Case
Brings More
Controversy
By UNITED PRESS
The Peress Case renewed a fa*
mous fued of last year.
Brig. Gen. Ralph Zwicker ctaShtd
with Senator McCarthy today dur-
ing the Senate investigating sub-
committee’s investigation of ttw
Peress case.
The Senator and the general first
clashed in February, 1954, when
McCarthy demanded to know who
ordered the honorable discharge of
Peres*. When Zwicker said Arniy
regulations forbade him to tell, Mc-
Carthy tol dZwickcr he, was "not fit
to wear that uniform.”
Zwicker protested and the entire
Army-McCorthy dispute came roll-
ing into Mie spotlight. Zwicker alao
testified last year In thei McCarthy
censure hearings — and that alao
came up again today.
Senator McCarthy asked Zwicker
why he had withheld Information
on the honorable discharge of
Peres* when Zwicker apeared before
the McCarthy subcommittee, Mc-
Carthy told Zwicker he was “not fit
aide, James Juliana, "considerable
information" in preliminary talk*
and that Juliana testified about
tills at the censure hearing.
Zwicker said he reveiwed Jul-
iana's testimony and found that it
was not true.
Juliana Immediately objected to
tills and said lie will stand on hi*
testimony.
Zwicker said he did not give
Juliana any information about
Peress that was no available to the
subcommittee.
New Cold Front
Headed for Texas
By United Preu
A new Canadian cold front 1*
i leaded toward Texas, bringing the
possibility of freezing tempera
lures to the upper portions of the
state again by tomorrow night.
Forecasters say the front ls of a
"rather tricky nature.” Present In-
dications are that it will reach the
Panhandle, upper portions of the
Sou till Plains ami the Northwest
section of north Central Texas by
tonight. j..’«
The front, moving rather rapidly,
has pushed as far as southern
Kansas.
Ahead of the front, meanwhile,
the state is expected to continue
wanning up today from the freeze
of last week end that may have
taken a deadly toll of fruit trees.
Only three stations in the state.
Kail Flat with a 29 and Dalhart
and Presidio with a 30, reported
freezing tempertures early today.
There was no precipitation in the
state for the 24-hour period ended
at 6:30 o'clock tills morning. And
none us expected from the new
front moving in.
The front, if it continues on Its
present course, is expected to reach
the Dallas Fort-Worth area by
early tomorrow morning, and push
deep into tin; state by tomorrow
rugnt.
Mrs. Schulze Admits
Kidnaping Charge
Beaumont. Texas (UP).—Police
have announced that Mrs. Pauline
“Pat" Schulze has admitted she
kidnaped a newborn baby In Beau-
mont last Saturday.
Police Captain Doyle Wingate
says Mrs. Schulze has signed a con-
fession that she took the 9-minute-
old baby of Mr. and Mrs. Oeorge
Wharton from Beaumont Baptist
Hospital.
She has been charged with the
kidnaping but previously had claim-
ed the child was her own, even
though footprints showed it was the
Wharton's.
Wingate says officers began
questioning her again late last night
after she had regained her com-
posure following a weeping binge.
She has alternately wept and raged
at police and newsmen since she
was arrested with the baby in Hous-
ton Sunday.
Wingate says the details of the
kidnaping as given in Mrs. Schulae’s
confession dovetail completely with
those given by witnesses.
Mrs. Schulze, a practical nurse,
formerly worked at the hospital and
three timCvS had been confined there
for treatment, once, in 1981, for
psychiatric treatment.
Nothing more convenient than a
becking account for paying Mila.
