Foreign Minister Vyachesla M.

Molotov made the statement In reply to one of four questions put to him by a correspondent for the Soviet Communist party newspaper Pravda at a press conference in the Soviet foreign ministry. Other Date Possible Molotov was asked his opinion of press comments that the Nov. 29 date for the 29-nation conference was too short notice. "An agreement on some other date could be reached if the consideration of the question of ratification of the Paris agreements were delayed," Molotov said. His replies to other questions were largely reiteration.

Last Saturday Russia delivered notes inviting 22 European nations, the United States and Iceland, to a conference on European collective security to be held either in Moscow or Paris on Nov. 29. Red China was invited as an observer. It also was suggested that the Western Powers could invite West Germany and Spain. i West Is Cool The Western powers and other non-Communist nations greeted the original proposal with coolness and labeled it a desperate Russian attempt to prevent West German rearmament and strengthening of the Western Alliance.

L. A. Cave Dweller or Denies 5 Murders LOS ANGELES (U.R) A swarthy man, who dwelled in caves like an animal and carried a pistol, denied today he was a hunter of humans who stalked and killed' five persons -without any apparent motive. Gaunt, unshaven and ragged Millan Perovich, 33, was booked on suspicion of murder yesterday after police flushed him out of his hiding place in the Griffith Park hills after a week-long search. A young couple, Ruth Burnett, 19, and John L.

Orendorff, 23, spotted Perovich last Sunday drinking from a bottle of vodka as he slouched on the side of a hill in Elysian Park. Watched Through Brush The couple said Perovich was "such a wierd looking character" they peered at him through some bushes until they heard a shot, and then ran away. Four more shots sounded as they hurried downhill, the couple said, and the man came lunging crazily down the incline as if after them, a pistol in hand. Police officer Jack Klepper, summoned by. the couple, seized Perovich, but while Klepper was questioning the suspect, Jero- vich broke loose and escaped into the brush.

Klepper, however, had Pero-vich's pistol and his wallet containing identification. Police records showed Perovich had been srrested previously for carrying concealed weapons and once had been committed to the state hospital at Camarillo, Calif, as sn alcoholic. Police said the sniper suspect had been living like an animal in caves, under bridges and be hind bushes. The five murder victims in the mountainous areas to the north and northwest of Los Angeles since 1952 were Fred C. Bayha, 34, Van Nuys; Gaston Valcourt, 40, Hollywood actor; Albino Avila, 55, Los Angeles; and two transients, Sherman Coughran and Gordie L.

U.RX-An appeal to the Pentagon or possibly to the Secretary of the Army was planned today for a lieuten ant convicted and sentenced to dismissal from service for mistreating his troops. The conviction of 2nd Lt Charles C. Anderson by a General Court Martial yesterday was subject to automatic review but his counsel, Maj. William B.

Came, said he would petition to highest authority if necessary. Anderson, who insisted' "rough" disciplinary methods were neces sary to "shape, up" an unruly company trainees. In. the. Short time allowed, was sentenced "to be dismissed from service and to all pay and allowances.1 The 10-man court found An derson guilty on six counts of maltreating his men, four of conduct unbecoming an officer arid one of conduct prejudicial to good order.

He was acquitted of six other counts. While he was spared the pos sible year of imprisonment for each count of guilt, the sentence amounted virtually to a dishonorable discharge for the 24-year-old veteran of Korean battles. Anderson was the second offi cer in modern U.S. military his tory to be convicted of abusing his men. Carne said Anderson'! case vas "unique" in that it involved 'over aggressiveness in train ing" "Most other cases involve pro secution for lack of aggressiveness," Carne said.

Specifically, Anderson was con victed of maltreating trainees by having one hung by his ankles for fighting, having another "buried" with a cross in his mouth, ordering two "sand baths" and ordering, two men to shout a coarse phrase from three limbs. Anderson admitted his respon sibility for the incidents but claimed they were necessary to forestall the lack of discipline he had observed taking its toll in lives of American troops in battle in Korea.
