~ me Assoeiossd Press


PARIS, June 4.-Russia and the
West both were behind q curtain
today, continuing efforts in sec
ret session to find a way Of CO.
existence In Berlin.
Behind q news blackout, the
diplomats of the Big -Four Foreign
Ministers Conference face more
than mere restoration OF harmony
in the German capital. Both sides
believe-with apparent sincerity
that q way Of life can be worked
out.
With their experts-all pledged
to secrecy-the Foreign Ministers
will begin today's talks in the
Pink Palace this afternoon.
One ENCOURAGING Sign.
After q secret session yesterday
the only encouraging sign was the
announcements that the Ministers
would meet again today.
Neither Russia nor the West
ern Powers had rejected their rival
plans for making Berlin a single
city.
The big barrier between the two
sides was understood to be the
question Of whether any one power
can be permitted to veto acts Of
the city government or elections
of city government officials.
Russia was not expected to give
up her insistence on veto power
unless other considerations made
it advisable. After the blockade
last year rioters drove the elected
anti Communist government out
of City Hall in the Soviet zone.
New city elections were held in
