Most OF the District legislation

A joint use-Senate Conference
Committee today was given the
job of settling the issue raised by
the Senate Of whether a 12-year
ban on public inspection of relief
rolls should be lifted.
The ban was written into the
Social Security Act in 1899 to
prevent the names Of relief re-
|cipients from being used as mail
ing lists in political campaigns.
The current move for repeal is
based on the belief Of some law
makers that public inspection
would help prevent abuses in de-

The Senate has attached to the

West Calls for
Showdown on
Big Farley
Notes Tell Soviet to
Agree on Tolks or
End Paris Sessions
By Gornett D. Homer

The United States, Great Brit
ain and France today challenged
Russia to join in a Big Four For
eign Ministers conference to
strengthen peace, without further
effort to agree fully in advance on
exactly what should be discussed.
The latest Western move. after
months of debate on proposals for
such a conference, appeared to
amount to a take-it-or-leave-it
proposition.
Current meetings in Paris have
demonstrated that it is impossible
to make any progress toward
breaking the deadlock in efforts
to agree in advance on an agenda
for the proposed Foreign Ministers
session, the Western powers
pointed out.
Further Efforts Ruled Out.
This implied that Russian re-
lection of today's proposal would
cause the Western Big Three to
abandon further efforts to agree
on basis for the conference, al
though they did not say so fatty.
The Western proposal now is
that the Big Four foreign min
listers should meet ION the basis of
the large measure of agreement
already reached" by their deputies
In Paris. without further efforts
by the deputies to complete an
agreement on the agenda."
The State Department made
public the text of United States
note containing this proposal
which was delivered today to the
Soviet Foreign Office in Moscow
and to Soviet Deputy Foreign
Minister Andrei Gromyko in Paris.
Identical notes were sent by the
British and French.
Russia first proposed last fall a
conference of the four Foreign
Ministers. Since March S, depu-
ties of the Foreign Ministers have
been meeting in Paris in an effort
to agree on an agenda.
The deputies have agreed on
the substance of all points except
a Russian demand that the At
lantic pact and American military
bases In Europe be listed for dis
cussion. The Western powers in
sist this is unacceptable.
Special Item Unnecessary.
The Western notes today point
ed out that if the Soviet purpose
is solely to reserve the right of
the Russian Foreign Minister to
talk about the Atlantic pact. it is
unnecessary to list it on the
agenda since the agenda now con-
tains a general heading under
which each Foreign Minister may
discuss what he considers 'the
causes and effects OF international
tension"
The Western powers submitted
to Russia on May 81 proposal
substantially the same as today's.
Moscow turned that down June 4,
insisting on discussing the At
.antic Pack and American over
seas bases.
The Vests May 81 proposal
suggested that the Foreign Minis
tiers convene in Washington July
%. This date was not repeated in
today's notes, but Michael Nc
Dermott, State Department press
officer, said it still stands.
