Program Declared
Designed To Force
Red Recognition
Whole GermQjri People
Would Be Represented
Geneva (U.R) The West
rejected a "loaded" Soviet
plan for Germany today, war
ning that German unity must
come before any other move
to end the cold war.
Geneva (U.R) Soviet Rus
sia called today for establish
ment of an "all-German Coun
cil" to represent the German
people while that country re
mains divided.
In an obviously "loaded" pro
posal designed to recognize
Communist East Germany, the
Soviets urged setting up such a
council composed of members of
both Wes and East 'German
parliaments.
It would be consultative but
could represent the whole Ger
man people, the Soviet proposal
said. This would be so not only
in coordinating the political and
cultural life of the divided na
tion, but also in cooperation with
other countries "in the consoli
dation of peace."
Seek Swift Showdown
Soviet Foreign Minister V. M.
Molotov unveiled the Kremlin
plan at the fifth plenary session
of the Big Four Foreign Minis
ter's Conference this afternoon.
It came shortly after U. S.
Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles, French Foreign Minister
Antoine Pinay and British For
eign Secretary Harold MacMil
lan decidM to call for a swift
showdown with Russia on the
question of German unity.
Their decision to force the
showdown was reached at a Big
Three western strategy session at
noon at the villa of French For
eign Minister Antoine Pinay.
Verge of Deadlock
The Big Four conference was
on the verge of deadlock with
the Western ministers unable so
far to get Molotov to set forward
' a plan for German unity. Thus
far his various proposals called
for a permanently divided Ger
many. Last night the West slapped
down an East German effort to
slip into the conference through
the back doaS) with a plan for an
"all-German council" an all-
German government made up of
Communist and Western leaders.
Communist sources hinted that
Molotovs plan would be on sim
ilar lines but would call for a
"United States of Germany." It
was the same type of plan that
brought the non-Communist gov
ernment of Poland home from
London after the war only to
disappear into the red maw.
All-German Council
Molotov's' plan called for an
all-German council which would
Jeave East and West Germany
with senates selected by their
respective states in the same way
as the American Senate. These
senates would cooperate to ne
gotiate for German unity.
The Molotov plan would side
step the free elections demanded
by the West a move that would
lead to immediate Western re
jection. The West already was pre
pared to slap down Molotov'9
new plan for a European secur
ity treaty including West and
East Germany jgrid an arms con
trol buffer zone across Europe
including both.

defense motion that all testi

Wolf, accuser of Marjorie Smith

period of March 15 to May 15,
1945 Marjorie Hersey was the
married name of Mrs. Smith in
3945. She testified earlier she
had been criminally assaulted in
San Francisco in 1945 and bore
a child in January, 1946, as a re
sult of the attack.
Originals Destroyed
Butler admitted under cross
examination by Defense Attor
ney Bruce Spaulding that the
originals of officers' reports for
1945 had recently been destroy
ed. However, he said card index
files covering these reports were
not destroyed.
Judge (JJValker also denied a.
defense motion that the jury be
instructed to return a verdict
of acquittal and that Butler's
testimony be stricken.
Mrs. Smith ended her testi
mony yesterday, sobbing she
loved her husband.

stand, Mrs. Smith said she was
"ashamed and embarrassed" to
be seen in ihe company of Vic-
1 T xr - "1 r u
ior Liaurence won, a to-year-oiu
electrician who says he murder
ed Mrs. Smith's husband at her
insistence.
Mrs. Smith told Prosecutor
Willis West that she refused to
look at her accuser, Wolf, "be- '
cause of the hate I have for him
for what he has done."
