May 28, 1949. DECATUR HERALD. 5 West Allies To Ask Bonn Rule Extension The four-power foreign ministers' conference came to a dead stall today, but western members planned to steam it up with a new proposal. The suggestion evidently would call for extension of the new Bonn constitution for Western Germany into the Russian zone. The constitution contains guarantees for a democratic government.

Informants said the Russians are sure not to like it. They added that the proposal promises to bring a quick answer to a hot question. Do the Russians intend to come to an agreement at this time, and if so, how far are they likely to go to meet western demands? Paris, May: 27 (AP) SOVIET FOREIGN Minister Andrei Y. Vishinsky himself pleaded for the western powers to come forward with new ideas. He asked them to amend the proposal he had made.

This is the understanding the western powers have of the Soviet plan: It would provide for a German state control authority to handle questions which the Big Four were willing to pass on to it. This German authority would be subordinate to a four- commission on which the right of veto would prevail. The western powers, these informants continued, want Russia to mull over the suggestion this weekend. But there were other indications that the plan was not entirely ready for today's session, and for that reason, among others, there was nothing to talk about today. So the ministers talked for three hours about what they had talked about in the four previous sessions.

OUTSIDE the conference chamber officials from the west met in the French foreign ministry to work on the draft of proposals which kept them up until after midnight Thursday night. The work was considered sufficiently important to keep Dr. Philip Jessup, American ambassador-at-large, and John Foster Dulles, Republican adviser to Acheson, away from the meeting of the foreign ministers. Jessup and Dulles met with Sir Ivone Kirkpatrick, senior German expert in the British foreign office, and Maurice Couve de Murville, political director of the French foreign ministry.

Robert C. Rutledge, testified today that the late Byron C. Hattman flashed a knife and made a death threat in her presence last August. The witness was Mrs. Agnes Schamberg, 65-year-old janitress in a St.

Louis plant. District Judge J. E. Heiserman interrupted the final pleas to the jury after the defense asked that testimony be re-opened so Mrs. Schamberg could testify.

Dr. Rutledge, 28-year-old St. Louis children's specialist, is charged with stabbing Hattman to death here last Dec. 14 during a fight which involved the young engineer's alleged seduction of the doctor's blond wife Sydney, 23. MRS.

SCHAMBERG said the man whom she recognized from a newspaper picture only Thursday evening as being Hattman came into the plant where she worked last Aug. 15.

"HE SAID 'YES' and he showed me a knife. He said 'I could plunge this through his heart, clear to his Mrs. Schamberg said the knife had a spring on it "and the blade flew open." She said it was a long knife with a sharp point. Mrs. Schamberg said she looked up newspaper files Thursday night and identified the man from a picture as being Hattman.

She said a priest told her to go to a lawyer and tell her story. Then, she continued, she got in touch with the Rutledge defense counsel. Shown a newspaper picture in court, Mrs. Schamberg said, "it's the same man." Mrs. Rutledge then took the stand briefly to identify the picture as one of Hattman.
