Secretary Marshall To Give Answer To U.N. Leaders’ Appeal For Peaceful Settlement In Berlin Crisis Big Four Talks Are Suggested By Lie, Evatt Paris, Nov. 15—(A3)—An In formed source said today Sec retary of State Marshall will answer for President Truman a United Nations leaders’ appeal for a Benin peace. U. N. Secretary-General Try gve Lie and Herbert V. Evatt of Australia, President of the Gen eral Assembly, dispatched let ters Saturday to the chief exe cutives of the big four powers asking for four power talks to settle the Berlin crisis. The letters were sent to Mr. Truman, Prime Minister Stann, Prime Minister Clement Attlee of Britain and Premier Henri Queuille of France. xne source s<uu xvxarsiiaix win answer the Lie-Evatt peace let ter as soon as he and the Brit i^i and French foreign ministers hold full consultations. Marshall, British Minister of State Nector McNeil and French Foreign Sec retary Robert Shcuman are ex pected to meet tomorrow or at least exchange their views on the letter at that time, the source said. It was indicated that every phase of the American-British French consultations will be re layed to President Truman. The source said, however, that Marshall, acting in his capacity as spokesman for the United States on foreign affairs, actual ly will answer the letter. The United Nations looked to the American answer for a cue to the success or failure of the peace appeal. U. N. circles said the Lie-Evatt appeal was aimed at the Ameri can President in the hope he would agree to meet the other three if he felt the moral weight of the U. N. was behind such a meeting. U. N. officials said privately they expected Stalin would agree quickly to the appeal. Dis patches from Moscow said for eign diplomats in the Russian capital believe Stalin will ac cept. The U. N. informants said the big question is what reply Mr. Truman will make to the let ter. Members of the United States delegation said they expected no answer from Mr. Truman for several days. They said the an swer will be given to Secretary of State Marshall, who has made no comment on the appeal. White House officials at Key West, Fla., where Mr. Truman now is vacationing, had no com ment yesterday on the Lie-Evatt appeal. The latest word here from White House officials was that the President preferred try ing to settle disputes through the U. N. rather than through in- ' dependent talks.
