In 1935, Epstein operated « smAll butcher shop on Grove street, Kingston. In 1936, during the depression, he conceived the idea of making up a ready-cut steak for restaurants. Purpose (Continued on Page A-M) Praises Eisenhower But Says 4 Fears \ Replace 4 Freedoms- PHILADELPHIA (UP)—Adiai E. Stevenson called last night for decisive action to ward off a threatened economic depression in the United States. "Depression is a real fear for many of ns," the 19.')2 Democratic presidential candidate said in a speech pre¬ pared for delivery at a $100-a-plate Jefferson-,Jackson Day dinner of the Democratic National Committee. "It has already touched the farmers. It may touch others in the months ahead." Stevenson said that "in all candor, I don't know whether we we going to have economic misfortune or not, but I do know that talk alone wont prevent a depression or cure it either. The Bepublicans cleared up that question for us some 20 years ago."

The radio, in a broadcast moni¬ tored in Ijondon, said that when Bohlen called on Molotov last Monday in the fo'reign ministry skyscraper, the Soviet minister said the question of atomic weap¬ ons was "a very important mat¬ ter." Molotov thanked the American for calling the Soviets' attention to the fact the President was about to apeak on the atomic queation, the broadcast said.

Dean probably will return home late this wrek with Uttle hope that Saturday's breakdown of ne-j gotiations for a Korean peace con¬ ference will be resolved, U. S. sources said Sunday. Dean broke off the talks Satur¬ day, charg^ing the Communisms with deliberately insulting the United States to force the walk¬ out. He said he would not return to the conference table unless the Reds foVmally request resumption of the talks. Reds Mmt .Meet Terms UN sources said the American lawyer, who has been negotiating with Communist China's Huang Hua and Xorth Korea's Kl Sok Bok ."lince Oct. 16, will remain in Korea only if the Communi.sts agree to resume negotiations on his terms. Dean said the Reds "must have intended to break off the talits or they wouldn't have charged the U. S. of perfidy. It is obvious they can to prevent unification of Korea." Communist North Korea's radio Pyong.vang replied this morning that Dean's "walkout waj part of Washington plan to break up the peace talks and lead to war dangcVs." Dean said after the breakdown in talks he would wait "a reason¬ able time' for the Communi'-U to request resumption of negotia¬ tions. He scheduled a pre.ss con- feVence for late Saturday and may reveal his plans for return to the U.S. at that time. Plan New Efforts If the UN envoy leaves Korea his chief H.s.>ii»tant, Krn net h Young, probably would stay he- hind to maintain liaison with the Communists, UN sources said. They pointed out, however, that Dean's walkout doesn't end ail hope for convening the Korean peace conference. Other effort.s could be made at the January meeting of the Big Four foreign mlnlsteVs in Berlin, at the UN General Assembly or by an ex¬ change of note*. Dean was Instructed by Secre- tar\' of state John Foster Dulles to do "everything conceivable" to convene the conference. Thf walkout was sudden and surprised Allied officlaLi.
