SOCIALIST REBUFF TO MR FRANCE

PREMIER UNLIKELY TO
AGREE
TO PROPOSALS
Paris, Nov. 11.
The French Socialists tonight refused to join the five-month-old Government of M. Pierre Mendes-France except on conditions which the Prime Minister is unlikely to accept.
An extraordinary national congress of the party called to consider the Premier's offer of six Cabinet posts decided that he must first adhere to a Socialist economic programme before the party could join his Govern-
ment.
Political quarters regarded the Socialist rebuff as a "time bomb" which would sooner or later lead to the Government's downfall.
M. Mendes-France had invited the Socialists to join the Government before he leaves for the United States on Saturday, He had offered them six cabinet posts.

How To Ease The Cold War:
Russian Premier's Attitude
Four-Power Talks Would Be Useful-Malenkov
Washington, Nov. 11.
Usually reliable official sources said today that Soviet Premier, Mr Georgi Malenkov, told the United States and British Ambassadors in Moscow on Sunday that a four-Power conference of Foreign Ministers would be useful.
They said it is significant that Malenkov did not propose a four-Power conference at the high- est levels, and he did not say when a Foreign Ministers' conference should be held. Apparently, the Soviet Premier did not mention the recent London and Paris agreements in that connection.
Mr Malenkoy was said correct then theno wog AL have avoided any specific cold possibility that Mr Malenkov war subject which worried him, was sincere in his talk. It was said that
