East Germans Make
Demands Before u. n
By the A,,eeiot.d Pres,

PARIS. Dec. ll.-East Ger
many's Communist government
demanded before the United Ma
Itions today that a peace treaty be
concluded with all of Germany
and occupation troops be with
drawn.
The demand came from Lother
BolZ, deputy premier and minister
OF reconstruction in the Soviet
zone government. He spoke be-
fore the U. NJ Special Political
Committee. which is considering a
proposal by the Western Big Three
for a neutral U. N. inquiry to de-
termine whether free elections can
be held to unite divided Germany.
Mr.. Bolz rejected the Western
plan and called for an alderman
conference to be held in Berlin to
arrange for elections in a unified
Germany and press for conclusion
lof a peace treaty.
East German rejection of the
proposed U. N. inquiry had been
anticipated from statements by
German Communists and Soviet
leaders in the U. N. that the Ger
man question was solely the prov
ince OF the four occupation powers.
| West zone Germans told the
committee last Saturday that all
! GermanS-includin the n million
under Soviet control-favor a u. N,
inquiry. They said Mr.. Bolz and
his government colleagues were
"usurpers," ruling their area only
as stooges of the Soviet puppets
of the Soviet occupiers.

against the destruction of al
Egyptian village in the Suez area
by British forces.
British army engineers over the
week end destroyed a l00-house
village near Suez in building a new
road between a military garrison

out" for the villagers. He did not
say what amounts would be paid

Big -Four Far Apart
After Secret Talks on
Disarmament Effort
BY the Assoeiuied Press

PARIS, Dec. 1.-THE Big Foul
announced agreement today to SET
up a new disarmament commits
sion but still were as far apart
as ever on what sort of arms
treaty the proposed group should
work out.
Fundamental differences still
remain" said the United States
Britain and France in summarize
ing their 10 days of secret talks
with the Soviet Union on how te
end the world arms race.
Their agreement to set up the
new commission-Which will re-
Iplace two already -deadlockec
United Nations committees-wa:
announced in a report of the talks
by U. N. Assembly President Luis
Padilla Nervo, who presided over
the meetings.
Some Differences Remain.
The chairmanS report, which
the Big Four unanimously ap-
proved. outlined a fundamental
disagreement between the East
and West on just what the new
commission should be told to do
1t was the same basic difference
which exists between the Western
and the Russian disarmament
plans.
| The three Western powers in
sisted that the commission be in
structed to draw up a step by step
plan for arms reduction, beginning
with q worldwide census of arms
and a foolproof system of verifi-
cation.
The Russians as adamantly de-
manded immediate and uncon-
ditional prohibition of atomic
weapons and one-third reduction
OF all conventional armed forces
and armaments.
Compromise Doubted.
The Big Four committees fail
ure to reconcile this basic disa-
greement left to the u. N. General
Assembly the problem of working
out compromise. Observers
doubted this could be done.
1t was expected the West could
muster enough Assembly votes to
push its own plan through the
Assembly. But such action would
i'm turn raise the question of
whether Russia would serve on a
commission instructed to work
out a disarmament program on
the WeStern-proposed lines.
An American spokesman told
reporters that the Western powers
would press in the Political Com
mittee for adoption of their dis
armament resolution, which the
Soviet Union has violently opposed
Urgency Pointed Out.
He said the Big Three would
agree to certain minor modifica-
tions." such as spelling out that
the plan forsees creation of an
international armament control
organ. Creation of this body is
implicit in the resolution now, but
the West has no objection to max
ing it explicit.
The spokesman said the West
believed Russia would take mart
in the work of the new commission
even though it is established I'M
der a resolution they have voted
against.
Unite States development of
atomic artillery, he said, made it
even more urgent to get going on
"a plan for controlling all weapons
conventional and atomic-since
1T was now impossible to separate
them.

Two zoning Agencies
Plan Joint Study Of
|WoodIey Estate Issue

The Districts two zoning bodies
will take the unprecedented step
of jointly deciding whether to per-
NIT apartment house construction
on the old Woodley estate or to
keep the property in its present top
residential class.
Joint study of the long con-
troversy by the Zoning Commits
sion and the Board of Zoning Ad-
Ijustment will be made as soon as
possible, after a public hearing
on the issue next Monday before
the adjustment board.
Since early last month, the COM
mission has held under advisement
petition to rezone about three
acres of the historic estate for
construction of three story de luxe
type apartments.
Recently, at the suggestion of
the commission. the applicants
filed a similar request with the
adjustment board. According to
Robert o. Clouser, director of
planning for the commission, this
move enabled the adjustment
panel to get the benefit of a formal
hearing as did the commission.
Early Decision Sought.
Mr.. Clouser said that both FIVE
member zoning groups will have
an informal meeting of the
minds in closed session to study
and discuss evidence submitted at
both hearings. Authorities hope
for a decision before Christmas,
he added.
The planning official said the
case may be settled with a single
decision by either zon:lg body or
by separate. but conforming, rul-
ings by both groups.
This has been such a bone OF
public contention that We felt it
would be best to have the issue
settled once and for all by Joint
action" Mr.. Clouser said.
He said that, in his long service
in the District zoning office, he
could not recall that the prob
lens presented by the Woodley
case had ever been raised before
either the commission, which
makes the Districts overall zon-
ing regulations, or the adjustment
board, which hears appeals for
exceptions from the regulations.
Two-Year Dispute.
| The rolling. wooded estate. the
last large tract of private unde-
veloped property in the fashion
able Cleveland Park area. has been
zoning storm center for nearly
two years.
! Early last year, the Maret
School, which bought part of the
original estate including the stor-
led mansion. twice had to 90 to
coming authorities before over
coming opposition Of neighboring
residents to use the land for school
purposes.
In OcConer, 1850, the three pres
ent owners Of the bulk of the
estate-Edward c. Baltz, building
association head. and Thornton
w. Owen and Ned Bord, two real
estate men-made their first as
sault on the zoning Commission.
At that time, they sought re-
coming of II acres for five-story
apartment house construction. but
the commission rejected the pro-
posal after hearing neighborhood
protests.
The owners came back with a
modified plan for rezoning 3 acres
for three-story apartments along
about 725 feet of the west side of
Twenty-ninth street north of the
Cleveland avenue NV. intersec-
ton.
This is the plan that was at
tackled by the commission hear
ing and is expected to be pro-
tested again next Monday by
neighbors fearful of property
value deterioration and loss of a
scenic gem.
