More Squally
Showers Likely Today
London, Aug. 5.
The United States, France and Britain are likely to reject Russia's latest proposal for a four- power conference in August or September, accord- ing to usually well-informed quarters.
The proposal, made in a Soviet note delivered yesterday in Washington, London and Paris, was reviewed at a three-power meeting of officials at the British Foreign Office today.
The meeting had earlier been called to draft a reply to the Soviet note of July 24 which proposed a general European conference to es- tablish an all-Europe collec- tive security pact.
