For Peace Terms
GENEVA, (tfl — The United
States, Britain and France today
pressed the Soviet Union in the
Big Four conference to suspend
its threats against West Berlin
and negotiate a stopgap settle
ment to ease tensions over the
divided city.
U. S. Secretary of State Chris
tian Herter, British Foreign Sec
retary Selwyn Lloyd and French
Foreign Minister Couve de Mur
ville met with Soviet Foreign Min
ister Gromyko at Gromyko’s villa
in midafternoon.
Their session continued secret
talks which opened here Friday
in an effort to find a formula for
averting a military showdown
over Berlin and clearing the way
to a summit conference.
The West’s big three still ex
pect the Soviet to agree not to
disturb the status of West Berlin
despite Premier Khrushchev’s dec
laration that he won’t bargan for
a settlement.
In the secret talks, Western dip
lomats said today, the Western
powers are trying to get replies
from Gromyko to two critical
questions:
1. What are his conditions for
a Berlin settlement?
2. Is he qualified to negotiate
and sigrf a Berlin agreement here
or is he simply instructed to nar
row differences in order to pre
pare for a summit conference?
Herter, Lloyd and Corve de
Murville, in other words, are try
ing to get moving on detailed ne
gotiations for a Berlin-_formula.
The Western powers have told
the Soviet minister that any Ber
lin settlement must guarantee use
of the supply lines across East
Germany to West Berlin. The West
is reported ready to try to elimi
nate some activities in West Berlin
which the Russians have de
[ nounced as cold war “subversive
I activities.” But they want any
limitations imposed on East and
West Berlin alike.

| Alaska Airlines Claims
Lead in Passenger Service
Alaska Airlines carried more
passengers during the month of
April than any other carrier serv
! ing Alaska, it was reported last
! week by Charles F. Willis, Jr.,
president- and general manager of
the company.
The pioneer Alaskan airline took
the lead by carrying a total of
9,824 passengers during The month,
an increase of 76 per cent, Willis
pointed out. During the same per
iod, passenger miles flown totaled
8,091,000 as compared to 2,199,000
in April, 1958, an increase of 276
per cent, and revenue ton miles
stood at 1,020,003 versus 462,983
for 1958, a 120 per cent gain.
The publicity resulting from
Alaskan statehood, and the new
DC-6C “Golden Nugget” service
which the company inaugurated
last August, were credited by
Willis as the principal factors in
making the gains possible.
What a fellow needs in this
vexing world is a funny bone and
a serious vein.
