FULL REPORT OF
FINDINGS
James Joseph Osbourne King, merchant, of 20 Braga Circuit, who was brought to Court on a charge of fraudulent-conversion in October 1952 was discharged by Mr Poon Yan-hoi at Central this morning when he held that King had no case to answer.
Mr Poon held against the Defence sub- missions that his Court had no jurisdiction to hear the case, but he upheld the conten- tion that the $6,305.94 which King was accused of having taken for the use of his wife while a Director of George Falconer and Co. Ltd., in November 1950, was not proved to have been Falconer's money.
Several of King's friends were in Court and they crowded around to congratulate him after the findings had been made known,

Secret Session Secret Discuss Question Of A 5-Power Conference
Berlin, Jan. 28.
Unable to reach agreement on the calling of a five-power conference, including Communist China, but with general acceptance of the idea that Communist, China and other nations could be included in future dis- cussions of various world problems, the foreign ministers of Britain, the United States, France and Soviet Russia tonight agreed to hold a secret Session on the Soviet Russian proposal to convene a five-power conference. The decision was taken on the initiative of the British Foreign Secretary, Mr Anthony Eden, who told his three, colleagues that, since no agreement had been reached on the first item of the Soviet ag onda (lessening world tension and the convening of a five-power conference), it was his ridea that the meeting should pro- ceed to the question of Germany, and return to the first point later.
