WEEKLY
ROTATION OF MEETINGS
Berlin, Jan. 17.
The Berlin four-power Foreign Ministers' conference will take place in weekly rotation at the Allied Control authority building in West Berlin and at the Soviet Embassy in East Berlin, according to a four-power communique issued tonight.
The Ministers would meet in the West Berlin building during the first week, in the Soviet Embassy in the second week, in West Berlin again for the third week, and "thereafter the place of the meetings will depend upon the course of the con- ference," the communique said,
It added that experts were nominated for the preparation of "a number of technical arrange-
ments."
The four-power communique throughout referred to the Soviet Embassy as "the residence of the USSR High Commissioner in Germany," indicating the dual role of Soviet High Commissioner Vladimir Semeonov who is also Soviet Ambassador to East Germany. The Allied Control Authority building was referred to throughout as "the building formerly used as the head- quarters of the Allied Control Council.”

CEREMONIAL OPENING OF 1954 ASSIZES
Chief Justice Reports Reduction In Crime
Many distinguished guests attended the ceremonial opening of the Assizes for 1954 at the Supreme Court this morning, when a brief review of the activities of the Judicial Department during 1953 was given by the Hon. the Senior Puisne Judge (Mr Justice T. J. Gould), who read the address which was to have been given by the Hon. the Chief Justice (Sir Gerard Howe), who was unfortunately indisposed and unable to attend the ceremonies.
The sympathy felt by all at the indisposition of the Chief Justice was expressed by the Hon. the Attorney- General (Mr Arthur Ridehalgh, QC), who said they all trusted it was nothing more than an indisposition and that he would soon be in full health again.
La the address read by Mr May I also offer a word of Justice Gould, the Chief Justice warm welcome to Mr Justice suid that in the Assizes he was Gregg? 1 served for some years pleased to report a falling off in with his Lordship in Nigeria crime, bul murder had un where he won the respect and fortunately
