S2nd Year One Section Plans Made For Meeting At 'Summit' SAN FRANCISCO (UP)-Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov apparently has agreed to a pro posal that would let President Eis enhower serve as chairman for ihe lust meeting of next month's "summit conference'' in Geneva, it was disclosed today. The proposal was one of sev eral submitted to the Soviet for eign ministers yesterday by the for eign ministers of the Big Three Western powers gathered in San Francisco for the 10th anniversary of the United Nations. The Big Four foreign ministers met last night to talk it over. Sources close to the British and American delegations said Molo tov made no objection to the pro posals, and indicated his govern ment would find them acceptable. Ease World Tension According to these sources, the proposals were: 1. The chief aim of the meeting would be to prove an atmosphere that would help lessen world ten sions, rather than negotiate speci fic problems. .2. The Big Four chiefs of state will preside over the sessions in rotation. President Eisenhower will be the first chairman, fol lowed by French, British and Rus sian chiefs of state. 3. The meeting should last four to six days. The exact length must be decided upon ahead of time. 4. The chiefs of state should outline in their opening statements what they consider to be the main causes of world tension. 5. As the meetings progress, the chiefs of state should suggest the procedures to follow in negotiating these problems. 6. After the Big Four chiefs of state conclude their meeting, the Big Four foreign ministers should then take ouar.and continue as .long as necessary. Hear Molotov'a Vlw Attending the meeting were Mol otov, Secretary of State John Fos ter Dulles, French Foreign Minis ter Antoine Pinay and British For eign Minister Harold MacMillan. Earlier yesterday, Duties, Pinay and MacMillan drew up a list of proposals which they submitted to Molotov. Last night's meeting was called to hear the Russian's views on them. A source close to MacMillan said Molotov was "perfectly rea sonable" and merely asked time to study them. However, an Amer ican source quoted Molotov as say ing there shold be "no difficulty. Little River Flow Drops The flow of Little river, in the upper Deschutes country, dropped 90 second feet, from 2o8 to a mea ger 1G8, in four days this past week, A. E. Perry, Deschutes wa termaster, reported today. This drop indicated a further tightening of the flow of the Des chutes as the crop season in Cen tral Oregon counties nears its peak for 1955. Perry noted that the drop in the Deschutes flow comes at a time when it was originally expected that melt water from heavy mountain snows would re plenish tributaries. Central Oregon, Lone Pine and Arnold districts appear assured of a sufficent direct flow to care for their needs through the sea son, but. Perry said, there is n possibility that the North Unit will face a water curtailment late in the season. The' North Unit at present is drawing heavily on Its Wickiup basin supply, its only source this year, and the level of that reservoir, capacity of which is around 200.000 acre feet, was down to l.'lO.fOO acre feet this morning Car Goes Off Road on Butte Three local boys blame a jack rabbit for a traffic accident on the sleep slope of Pilot butte last night about 9:30 in which they were in volved.
