Objection ON Site.


The sources added the Soviets
also appeared to object to the
Western proposal that the Ber-
lin conference be held in the for
mer Allied control authority
building, in the American sector
of the divided city.
1t was reported the Russians
proposed instead that the four
high commissioners in Germany
confer in advance on an alter
native site.
The Soviets, however, are still
willing to meet in Berlin, which
was originally their suggestion.
They had previously agreed TO
the idea Of a four-power confer
ence, but did not specify a date.
"a new Soviet note on a Big
: Four foreign ministers meet
ing was under study at the
State Department today by
Secretary Dulles and top aides.
(The department would con-
firm only that the note had
been received and was being
studied, but diplomatic sources
viewed such high-level atten-
ton as an indication the West
ern allies would go along with
Russia's neV communication)
Delayed by French Election.
The Soviet note, coming only
today. gives the West short no.
tice for altering the January
4 plan. It was believed here that
the delay in the Russian reply
might have been caused by un-
certainty over the recent pro.
longed French presidential elec-
ton.
Omitted States officials have
expected Russia would ask for
a delay in order to get a new
French government repre-
sentative at the Berlin confer
ence. French Premier Laniel
must resign January II, when
French President-elect Rene
Coty undertakes to form a new
government.
Diplomatic circles saw an
other Soviet play for the
French and another move to
stall French action on EDCD
In their last note the Western
powers suggested that the ques-
tions of Germany and Austria
be discussed at the parley, but
let the way open for the Soviets
to bring up any other questions.
The Russians want a Big Five
meeting with Red China taking
part.
Would Like to Limit Topics.
Western spokesmen have made
it clear publicly they would like
to limit the proposed conference
to consideration Of the long-de-
layed German and Austrian
treaty settlements.
Allied sources have stressed
that the West has no intention
OF changing its known position
Of the cetral issue of German
reunification: That free nation
wide elections must come before
formation of an alderman gov
ernment. Russia has demanded
just the opposite: An alderman
government and then elections.

The Commission had ordered the
track to "clean up or close up

Strong Second
Half GiUes The
Upstaters 64-46
Win Over Locals

After a stirring first half
battle here Saturday night,
the Key West High school
basketball squad ran out of
steam and the crack Coral
Gables cagers captured a Ga
46 win, which marked the
third loss in a row for the
Key Westers.
The Conchs apparently
fell victim to the ravages of
grueling schedule when,
after losing two straight con-
tests by but two points, they
appeared to be heading for
another thriller Saturday
night when they held the
Gables to a 1913 tie at the
end of the first period and
the halftime saw them knot
ted at 1929, which is exact
ly the same situation Key
West ran into during their
tilt which they lost to the
Kentucky Military Institute
on Friday night.
But the Gables quintet began to
move in the second half of the
contest when they rolled up a total
of IS points.
The locals could not get click
ing in the scoring department at
this time despite inspired play on
the part of Glynn Archer, who led
the Conch scoring for the even
ing with 10 points and Julio Hen
ricuez, Bob Sawyer and Stu Lo-
gun.

game, Key West, in reality, had
a one point edge although it was
thought that the contest was all
tied up. The locals lost a two
point decision in an overtime
period, however.
Saturday. nights loss was a de-
cisive one however. Wayne Killen,
with 26 points paced the winners
