The question of discussing the
Atlantic pact and American bases
overseas has been the stumbling
block in the efforts of the four
power deputies to arrive at an
agenda for a foreign ministers
meeting. Agreement has been
reached on all other points of an
agenda.
Russia has insisted all along
that these two subjects must be
discussed. The Western Big Three
are willing to discuss them, but
refuse to have them put on the
agenda in such a way as to imply
that the Western powers have
done anything wrong. or con-
tributed to international tension,
by signign the pact and making
other defense preparations.
The Russian conditions do not
appear to automatically rule out
the possibility of a Big Four
meeting, but the likelihood of
such a meeting appears to hinge
on how the Russians desire to
discuss the Atlantic pact and
American bases.

BALTIMORE, June 4.-Jon M.
Jonkel, 35, who managed the sue
cessful campaign of Senator
Butler, Republican, of Maryland,
last fall. was fined $4,000 in Bal
timore Criminal Court today after
pleading guilty to violating Mary
lands Corrupt Practices Act.
The maximum penalty for Mr..
Jonkel was a $1,000 fine or two
years in jail or both, on each Of
Isix indictments against him.
The charges were that he
failed to keep required detailed
accounts of money handled by
him, to report campaign finances
properly and on time. and was
not a designated political agent
and resident of Maryland.
Judge Joseph Sherbow, in i'm
posing the fine, said the case 'in-
volved serious violations of the
Corrupt Practices Act"
"The fact that they occurred
under the pressure of a political
campaign by one not resident of
this State and unfamiliar with
our laws and our practices is no
excuse the judge continued.
Record Is Considered.
ut is apparent that the de-
fendant made no serious effort to
|acquaint himself with the provi-
Sions Of the Corrupt Practices
Act.
While these violations are
much more than mere technical
violations, the court takes into
consideration the background and
record of the defendant"
