MOLOTOV CONDEMNS 9-POWER CONFERENCE

By ROBERT TUCKMAN

BERLIN (AP)-Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov struck back Wed- nesday nlght at new Allied plans for getting West Germany to join in European defence. He called for a Big Four meeting on German reunification and an immediate end to German occupation. V Molotov. who flew to East Bei- lin Tuesday night, condemned the k&,t.1-iirie-power Western Allied ,o rence in London as making German unification impossible and greatly increasing the danger of European war. I-Iis proposals were seen as the first big guns in a Soviet campaign to wreck the de- cisions of the London conference.

speaking at a meeting of Com- munist leaders on the eve of the fifth anniversary of the founding of the East. German regime, Molo- tov said:

"The soviet government declares today that it proposes anew to the governments of the United states. Britain and France to conclude an agreement on the withdrawal of occupation troops from the torn- tory of East and West German? and to solve this question imme- diately.

"The acceptance of this pro- posal would ease the situation of the population in East as well as in West Germany. This would create more favorable precondi-

There was some speculation that he will outline at his weekly press conference Friday the proposals he made to Mr. er. Laurent Tuesday to settle a long dispute over ten- tion policies.

Following thrmeetlng, Mr. Du- plsuis said the proposals could bring about I new federal-provirn cial conference on taxation. Mr. st. Laurent said the proposals may necessitate some revision of exist- ing fsderal - provincial taxation agreements.

A rumor spread through Quebec political circles Wednesday that the session of the Quebec legisla- ture. scheduled to open Nov. 17. will be adjourned until early next year to permit Mr. Duplessis and his cabinet colleagues to attend a federal - provincial conference it one is called.
