DIPLOMACY
San Francisco, June 20.
A novel and unconventional plan, which provides for the Big Four heads of government at the opening of the Geneva conference to plunge straight into four separate reviews of world tensions without any agenda or any attempt to reach an agenda, is to be placed before Mr Molotov, the Soviet Foreign Minister, by the Big Three foreign ministers tonight.
The only concession to normal diplo matic procedures will be agreement before- hand that the chairmanship of each day's session in Geneva will rotate among the four heads of government.
These in terms of rank are head of state, President Eisenhower, and heads of governments -the Soviet Prime Minister, Marshal Bulganin, the British Prime Minister, Sir Anthony Eden, and the French Premier, M. Edgar Faure,
The three Western powers are in basic agree ment on the issues likely to be raised in Geneva. Therefore, to avoid duplication, each Western head of government is expected to concentrate, in his opening speech, on a separate subject.
