 MEETING
 LOOMING
Western Powers Sill De- mand Lifting of BIotk-
 ade on Berlin
tBy The Associated Press)

Tight secrecy prevailed today in Washington, London and Paris about the possibility of a reap proachment with Russia on the basis of talks Monday with Prime Minister Stalin.
 A Moscow dispatch indicated the Ambassadors of the Western Pow CTS may request another confer ence with Stalin and Foreign Min ister Molotov on the basis of re- actions from their capitals. This in turn may lead to an agreement for four-power talk on Germany and other questions splitting the West and East in cold war
 The Western Powers have speci- fled repeatedly there will be no talks while the Russians continue their Berlin blockade.
 Currency Issue
 For the first time since the land and barge routes to Berlin were closed in June, the Russians fn- dicated willingness to compromise on the currency issue. Their Com munist Eastern Economic Commis- sion and the German City Magis- trate proposed to the Western Pow CTS that Russian sponsored money be used as the only legal tender for taxes in return for Russian permission for Western currency to circulate in their zone.
 Trouble In Berlin
 The dispute over rival police forces, continued. Communist poe lice were accused of more kidnap- ings. Only 2l;0Oo of the 2,o75,oO0 Germans in the Western zones of Berlin accepted the Russian pro- paganda offer to feed all the city.
 Berliners expressed the hope the Moscow talks with Stalin would lead to lifting of the blockade. The feeling was general that no fi- al agreement was reached but that the exchange of views may al- low a compromise Winter is ap- preaching. and coal is desperately needed, though planes have been able to bring in enough food.
