Marshall uncertain how long at UN meeting in Paris
Secretary of State Marshall said at a Washington news conference he is uncertain how long he will remain at the United Nations meeting in Paris due to the international situation. He expects to see Molotov at the Paris gathering but offers no relief on East West relations, noting no period of great relief in the past week or ten days. The UN Assembly is expected to run to year end, but his stay in Paris may last only three or four weeks unless circumstances require longer presence.
