(AP Wirephoto via radio from Rome) Say Malenkov Wants to Meet Ike and Winnie BEUN Communist of ficials and newsmen depict Soviet Premier Georgia Malenkov as wanting to meet British Prime Minister Churchill and perhaps President Eisenhower. These sources also pictured Malenkov as gaining personal popularity at home and in other Communist na tions, r These opinions were voiced by Russian and satellite people here last week for the Big Four foreign ministers' conference. If they were intended as a trial balloon to sound out Western reaction, then they were well planned, with just about every pro - Moscow group briefed ahead of time. Opening up to Westerners to an unprecedented degree during the conference, a Russian official said frankly Malenkov wants to meet Churchill and possibly Eisenhower too. Polish and Czecholovak news men said this was true, and East German Communist authorities concurred.

" V "You can take this as at least semi - official," said one satellite Source. "We know Malenkov wants a meeting and we want it too because we think semething could be accomplished." Just as interesting were the comparisons of Malenkov with his predecessor, Stalin. The inform ants said Malenkov has impressed his own people and those in the Soviet orbit as a man less whim sical than Stalin and thus less likely to push the world into a new war that would mean their destruction regardless of the win ner. "Malenkov is a smart man," said the satellite source, "lie is not a genius but he is what you call a good housekeeper. We feel safer with him than we did with Stalin, who was a genius. But the question of war and peace is so delicate in these times that agon ius can ruin you." The communists who talked about Malenkov gave no hint of what they though the Soviet Premier might offer as his pro posed solution to Cold War ten sions. But they seemed confident talks between the chiefs of state would produce something.
