Up For Meeting Of The Big-Four By PHIL NEWSOM United Press Foreign Analyst Pressure is building on President Eisenhower to agree to a four-power meeting with Russia. Both Britain and France favor such a move and are expected to try to impress their views on United States Secretary of State John Foster Dulles when the Big Three foreign ministers meet in Wash! ington Friday. The powerful West German Soi eialists favor it because they be- it is their best chance to achieve a re-unified Germany.

This week another voice was added. It was that of Marshal Tito. past association th Moscow makes him the best qualified man in Europe to intrepret the Kremlin's mind and that Russia is in the midst of policy changes brought on by past mistakes and weaknesses. Tito says his mind was made up by the abrupt changes in Hungary where Premier Matyas Rakosi was deposed and the industralization campaign sharply de-emphasized. First reaction to the bewildering succession of events behind was one of even the East German uprisings somehow masked some vast new Russian scheme Since then, however, the belief has grown that at least some of the events are real and not just tactical.

The East German revolt, for ample, now has lasted nearly a month. In the satellites also there is reason to believe that the Russians are acting through necessity. The result has been that the Russians have been compelled to ease up their campaign to build heavy industry and do something about food production. Tito believes there is a change in Soviet policy but not basic aims. That means he believes present changes are not necessarily permanent and that he believes the west should exploit a Russian weakness now.

views apparently coincide i with those of Winston Churchill and most of Western Europe. The United States up to now has preferred to await more cracks in the Russian armor.
