A(HE50N IS
LEAVING FOR
PARIS meet
Russia Must Now Make
0vertures at Foreign
Ministers Confdb
(By the Associated Press)

U. S. Secretary of State Dean
Acheson leaves today for the Paris
Foreign Ministers conference on
Germany. America, Britain and
France appear ready to face Rus
STA in their strongest positions since
Yalta.
Acheson made clear his primary
purpose at the talks will not be an
East-West agreement on Germany
just for the sake of agreeing. IN
stead, he expressed determination
to protect the economic recovery
and political stability of all West
ern Europe, in which Germany
plays vital part.
RUSSIANS MUST ACT
Observers in Berlin believe that
in the Paris talks for the first time
the West can take the offensive or
sit tight and let the Russians seek
to break the deadlock. In previous
parleys the West was in defensive
position, trying to seek agreements
from Russia.
Diplomats say the Western posi-
ton has been strengthened by
booming prosperity in Western
Germany, growing surge against
Communism throughout all Ger
many and by Russia's open failure
to freeze out the Western Powers
with her Berlin blockade.
~ TRAFFIC TO BERLIN @
Traffic rolled on all roads to
Berlin without Russian interference
although. the Russians still have
not answered Western protests
against their on-again- f-again
rules. Economists of the Russian
and Western zones got together for
more talks in their deadlocked eff
forts to arrange for a revival Of
interzone trade. But the whole sit
uation still was a merry-go-round
OF confusion.
WEST GERMAN STATE
Plans for the new West German
state continued apace. Bavaria,
while rejecting the constitution for
the new republic, reserved the
right to enter the new government
If the other 10 states in the West
ern occupation zone accept it.
Four states have ratified the
charter. Six others are expected to
approve it, perhaps today. A West
German federal government may
come into operation by mid-July.
