Moscow, Apr. 9.

A demand by General Marshall that an Interna- tional Commission investigate and report on the future German-Polish frontier caused a major clash in the Big Four Foreign Ministers' conference today. Angry assertions by M. Molotov that the frontier

was fixed finally at the Oder-Neisses line at the Potsdam conference caused General Mar- shall and Mr. Bevin to cite Generalissimo Josef Stalin to the contrary,

Something At Last

Moscow, Apr. 9.'

Though it was preceded by a long debate, four- power agreement was finally reached in the Foreign Ministers deputies meeting today on the terms under which the small states may participate in the preparatory stages of the peace conference for Germany.

All four powers agreed that they shall be permit- ted to be present as observers when the other states present their views on special questions. before either the Council of Foreign Ministers or their deputies.

Other Allied powers will be nt. lowed, firstly, to make oral state- ments to the deputies or the For eign Ministers as the Ministers may decide and also to make writ. ten statements to the deputies on matters in which they are direct- ly concerned, and secondly all. states directly involved in the wor against Germany will get a full hearing.

The agreement was followed by in full debate in which Mr. Mur. phy (United States) defended states such as Mexico, who did

forces not actually use armed against Germany, and M. Vyshin. kky (Russia) championed Al- banla.

A long argument on Persia's right reached no conclusion.
