The Brooklyn Dodgers were playing the Milwaukee Braves in the baseball crazy beer city, and all the delegates had free tickets. McCarthy admitted this was tough competition. Opposes Inclusion Meeting posed foreign ministers meeting would Imply U.S. recognition of the Communist regime and "I am opposed to that." The Senate foreign affairs ex perts made the statements as Western diplomats puzzled over the meaning of Soviet Russia's reply to the U.S.-British - French invitation to attend a Big Four foreign ministers conference on Germany and Austria. The Sov iet reply appeared to accept a meeting on German problems but it was coupled with a strong plea for a broader discussion of general world problems. It said Red China's participation would be essential for such a meeting. Door Said Left Open After a full day of analyzing the Soviet note,, the State De partment would say only that its experts agreed the Russian reply "leaves the door open' for a meeting on Germany. They said, however, that the rest of the note had so many ambigui ties that the experts were far from certain what else the Sov iet Union has in mind. Moderate Earthquake Rocks Taff Vicinity Taft.
