COM HUNGARIAN GOVT RESIGNS

Victory For Realism

THE outcome of the dispute between the General Council of the TUC and party Socialists over the appointment of trade union representativen to the new Iron and Steel Board has now been made known. The appointment of Sir Lincoln Evans, and two other i members has been approved by the TUC General Council, but it is unlikely that this decision will put an end to the controversy

which has been aroused in

the Socialist Party and in

the trade union movement itself. Nevertheless the verdict was decisive and it was reached after long dis-i eussion which provided

Big Four Conference Now Unlikely

WESTERN POWERS NOT

TO TAKE INITIATIVE

London, July 2. Prospects for a Big Four conference with Soviet Russia in the "foreseeable future” were virtually abandoned in official British quarters to- day.

Informed sources said that a direct Western initiative for such a meeting is at present no longer envisaged either before or after the Washington talks between the Foreign Ministers of Britain, the United States and France.

The Idea for top level talks with Soviet leaders, strongly advocated by the Prime Minis- ter, Sir Winston Churchill, has not been dropped altogether, but it has been indefinitely post-
