HIGHTOWER BERLIN UB Secretary of State Dulles Tuesday flatly rejected Moscow's proposal tor a big five conference on world problems, but Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov struct back with a concrete de mand tit - hold Biieh-rg, .parley. May or June--; v-' '" j;t" j. ,:.': Dulles told the second day's ses sion of the Big J"our- the United stales win not . join Red China "the convicted aggressor" in any meeting in order to deal with the peace of the world,' Nevertheless, the secretary said, the Western powers will go along with Molotov s agenda for the Ber lin conference which calls for dis cussion of Red China first, Ger man unity second and an Austrian peace treaty last so as to avoid further delay in the conference work. When Dulles finished his 2,500 word speech outlining the Ameri can position, Molotov took the floor and ; said he would bring up the five-power issue as the first order of business Wednesday. The Soviet diplomat declared he would propose "May-June" as the time for America, France, Britain, the TJ.S.S.R and Communist China to take up all their conflicting in terests. He did not suggest the location, but said the purpose would be "to essary to diminish tension in inter examine the urgent measures nee national affairs." Informants said Molotov's dec laration on the A3iatic issue would be answered individually by each of th Western ministers. . - In rejecting the idea of sitting across from Communis! China's Premier Chou-En-Lai, Secretary dullcs scalded the Russians for ad vancing the idea that any great powers have the right to decide all international questions. His speech was a sharp reply to Molotov's at-, tack on the United States Monday at the opemnjr.:nf the Big :Four, 6on(eKehBe,.,-.;;; ' " .'-At . the same time" Duller an nounced acceptance of Molotov's proposed procedure for the con ference in order to avoid "weeks in futile argument" about an agenda. In perhaps the most stinging speech he has1 made about Soviet policy since he became secretary or state, Dulles accused Molotov of wanting "reversion to a sterile and dangerous past" with his' pro posals for a German settlement.

W The feed ing and housing of some 10,000 Mexicn farm laborers across the border presented a serious prob lem today while .American and Mexican authorities switched from one policy to another. The waiting workers, victims of the confusion, want jobs in Cal ifornia's Imperial Valley, . where harvest labor is needed. These developments came rapid ly during the past 24 hours: The trapped workers increased alarmingly in number across the line in Mexicali, where Mexican guards sought to prevent them from going over into the United States because a contract labor agreement between the two gov ernments nas expired. RECRUITING In this bordertown on the Ameri can side, authorities were recruit ing those braceros farm laborers who managed to cross in spite of the Mexican guards. . Then, last night, the Mexican poiards suddenly let down the bars. The braceros flooded through the border gates. And, just as sudden ly, the American guards slammed the door on their side. They in dicated the flow was jamming im migration machinery. U.
