Boston, Nov. 2. (UP)—Three New Haven Railroad trainmen pleaded innocent and a Cam¬ bridge Waitress pleaded guilty when arraigned in municipal court hcrt today on charges con¬ nected with the fraudulent sale of unpunihed train tickets which allcKedly netted them »M,000 a year.
The trainment allegedly picked up railroad tickets on the Boston to New York run, pretended to punch them, but actually punch¬ ed cardboards instead and pocket¬ ed the tickets. They then would be turned over to sellers In taverns, cafes and hotels near South Station, where police said S3 Instead of the ragular $5.85 fare would be obtained for them.

New York, Nov. 3 (UP)—An al¬ leged accomplice of W, Arthur Nickel. $()()-a-weck cashier who em¬ bezzled nearly a million dollars, was sent to jail by the Brook¬ lyn district attorney's office tonight and police said a nation¬ wide alarm had been sent out for a second accomplice.
District Attorney Miles McDonald said he was questioning Isadore Rappaport, .'i.'i-ycar-old head of i* optical firm, who, he said, was named by Nickel as one of his con¬ federates in the huge embezzlement of the Mergemhalcr Linotype Co. Still being sought, he said, was a man identified t)y Nickel as James Collins of New York.

New York. Nov. 2. (UP)—The %ig Four foreign ministers con¬ verged on New York tonight (or their meeting starting Monday, fac¬ ing a gathering demand of small nations for a bigger say in running the post-wur world — both in writ¬ ing the peace treaties and guaran¬ teeing that the United Nations keeps the peace.
British Foreign Secretary Ernest Bcvin arrived from England aboard the SS Aquitania along with Couve de Mourville, who will sit in for French Foreign Minister Georges Bidault until after the French elec. tions Nov. 10. Byrnes Due Today
.Secretary of State James F. Byrnes was due here by plane from \Vashingtol( tomorrow, and Soviet Foreign Minister Viacheslav M. Molotov has been here since tlie opening of the United Nations Gen- era! Assembly.
The first thing that will confront the four when they gather around their conference table in a special suite in the Waldorf-Astoria is demand from German.v's little neighbors, the Netherlands, Bel- glum and Luxembourg, that they be given a voice in fixing Ger¬ many's frontiers and e.stnhlL<!hing her future political and economic status.
Bevin dlsclo.sed upon his arrival that the question of the three litt'c nations participating in drafting the German treaty had been raised at the Paris peace conference by Bidault and placed at that time on the agenda for the forthcoming meeting. ¦ Why the three nations presented a demarche in Washing¬ ton yesterday in view of that deci¬ sion was not clear, unless they had not been advised of the action. Will Bade Request
"What's to be done with Ger¬ many is absolutely of vital concern to   (hose   three   countries."    Bevin
told a press conference after the Aquitania docked. His statement implied Britain, at least, was pre¬ pared to give the three nations their say on the treaty for Germany. Quick Signs of Rebellion
The rebellion of the little nations against Big Four leadership—evi¬ dent from the opening speech of the General As.sembly—popped up again in today's proceedings when the political and security committee wrangled over the admission of new members to UN.
The     committee     recommended unanimously that Afghanistan, Ice¬ land   and   Sweden   be  admitted  to membership,  virtually assuring the General   Assembly   would   welcome I them.   But a fight, led by Australia , and supported by several small na- ! tions.    developed    to    restrict    the ! powers of the  Security Council   in I considering    membership    applica¬ tions.

Meanwhile,     Russia    Joined    the ' United   Slates   move   to   slash   UN operating expenses.    SdVlet Deputy Foreign    Minister    Fedor    Guseve told   the   administrative   and   bud¬ getary   committee   that   the   secre¬ tariat should be chopped down "hy 30   or   40   per   cent."

PACIFIC BASES SPLIT SERVICES ANDSTHPT.
Truman Will Decide On Outright Ownership Or UN Trusteeship
Washington, Nov. 2. (UP) -Pres¬ ident Truman may intervene next week in a fight between the State Department and the armed ser¬ vices over control of Pacific Island bases   wrested   from   Japan,
Secretary of Stale James F. Byrnes, it was learned, has urged immediate action by the chief ex¬ ecutive to clarify American policy before the trusteeship issue is raised In the United Nations Gen¬ eral Assembly. Derlainn  in Few Da.va
Government officials say Mr. Truman has tentatively agreed to act within a few days to prevent the three-year dispute from boil¬ ing over in  public.
Military and naval commanders contend "that this country must own outright a string of bases from Palau and Truk on the south to Okinawa in the north, in order to protect itself in the atomic n,u;.
State Department officials, huw- bver, believe the islands can be ef¬ fective defensive biistions under U.S. trusteeship within the United Na¬ tions framework and without actual U.S. ownership. They also believe that a demand for outright owner¬ ship will undermine this country's prestige before the UN. particular¬ ly during the ilays Immediately ahead when territorial settlements must be made throughout the world.
Secretary of War Robert P. Pat- terron iind ."Secretary of the Navy James V. Forrestal have joined Byrnes in urging Mr. Truman to speak phiiiily on the jssiie in an effort to avert a  public blow-off.
The bases themselves are of two types islands owjied outright by Japan before World War II. such as Okinawa and Iwo Jima, and others such as Ihc Carolines and Mar- shalls, held by the Japanese undcl- Ijensue  of Nations  mandate.

INFLUENCED VOTE
But Say Opposition Was 'Generally Free' To Cast Their Votes
By EDWARD V. ROBERTS
London, Nov. 2. (UP) -A Foreign Office spokesman today charged that "severe terrorism" during the recent Bulgarian elections "no doubt strongly Influenced" results in which the Communist-dominated Fatherland Front won a sweeping victory  at   the   polls   last   Sunday.
He Indicated that Great Britain will delay recognition of the new governraenl and declared that Romanian election campaigns. noAV in progress, were similar to the ones   just   completed    in   Bulgaria.
The spokesman. In a lengthy commentary based on reports of British observers, charged political murders, bribery and multiple vot¬ ing and accused the state militia of terrorist tactics In the course of the campaign and on election day itself. Quallflea EITert >
The spokesman conceded, how¬ ever, that there was "a marked falling off of terrorism during elec¬ tion day" and that "the opposition, while doubtless influenced by fen of reprisals and by uncertainty as to whether its vote was In fait .secret, apiMara to have been gen¬ erally   free  to   cast votes."
Tlie  spokesman  said  that  while I Se the   opposition   was    permitted   to' conduct    a    number    of    campal' rallies "without interruption"  '       , were "measures of terrorise ,j, tJt^'RB'iM

He has taken no public part in the campaign, thereby departing from FDR's free-swinging cam¬ paign   practices
Shortages of food and material.s, aggravated by a mid-campaign scarcity of meat, forced the admin¬ istration to abandon its hold-the- llne price control policies. The next Congress is expected to bury the ghost of OPA, although some degree of rent control seems likely to continue.
The campaign was fought on do¬ mestic Issues except for an Inter¬ lude during which Henry A. Wal¬ lace as Secretary of Commerce opened public fire on Mr. Truman's foreign policies. The President ac¬ knowledged that Wallace spoke with hi.s coiuient and approval. But a burst of criticism grew into a clamor of protest, apparently ac¬ companied hy a threat of resigna¬ tion from Secretary of State James F. Byrnes. To keep Byrnes and to maintain  the  bi-partisan  nature  of
his foreign policy, Mr. Truman was! gain of 10.

Republican campaigners have sought to blister the Democrats for their alliances with the extreme left wing of American politics not¬ ably the Communists.
