Geneva Conference
Reaches Dead-End
By TOM OCHILTREE
GENEVA, <jf> — The United
States and Russia agreed today
that the 10-nation talks on preven
tion of surprise attacks have
reached a dead end.
that the four-weeks-old talks
would be ibroken of immediately.
They originally were planned for
at least five weeks.
The Eastern and Western dele
gations have been deadlocked
from the beginning over the pur
pose of the negotiations. Western
delegates contend they are here
only to study ways to prevent
launching of a surprise attack
and the technical machinery to de
tect attack preparations in ad
vance.
The Communists have tried re
peatedly to take up cold war poli
tical issues, contending that they
are what will produce a surprise
attack.

Held As Pawn
By East Germans
By REINGOLD G. ENSZ
BERLIN, (jB — An American
flier who parachuted into East
Germany was held last week as
a pawn in the Berlin situation.
An East German official indi
cated Lt. Richard Macin, 27, would
be returned to the U. S. Army
only through direct negotiations
with the East German satellite re
gime. Macin became lost and
bailed out behind the Iron Cur
tain Wednesday.
The Communists accused West
Germany of trying to prevent Ger
man unification.
West German Chancellor Con
rad Adenauer said Friday the
West should settle the Berlin prob
lem before getting bogged down
in other long-stalemated German
problems such as unification. The
East German Communists prompt
ly charged him with opposing any
move to bring together the West
ern and Eastern German states.
Macin was flying a small Army
liaison plane when he became
lost, crossed the East German bor
der, ran out of gasoline and had
to jump feet first into the Ber
lin situation.
The pilot, from Washington,
D. C., was held for two days be
fore the East Germans admitted
they had him. Then a Communist
district official said, “The Amer
icans will have to talk to us about
the pilot.”

Dogfish Made Palatable,
Reports Wash. Processor
SEATTLE, — Looks like
steak and tastes like crab. That’s
the way an official of the Inter
national Research and Develop
ment Corp. describes the canned
dogfish his firm is producing.
Robert McCarthy said Friday
his company has developed a pro
cess for canning dogfish for hu
man consumption. The result is a
“highly palatable” product, he
said.
McCarthy made the announce
ment in a letter to State Fisheries
Director Milo Moore, who last
week announced he hoped to de
velop a Japanese market for dog
fish in order to reduce the num
ber of predators in Washington
waters.
At the time, More said the Jap
anese were presently trying to
evolve a process whereby the dog
fish could be made fit for human
consumption. m
“Such a process has already
been perfected,” McCarthy wrote.
“This method of canning dogfish
results in a highly palatable pro
duct which seems to have a crab
like taste and steak-like appear
ance.”
