Is Jailed in Berlin

BERLIN, Feb. IA 7-foot-
tall Swede who demanded a
peace" interview with Soviet
Foreign Minister v. M. Molotov
is under arrest in East Berlin
after a battle royal with Red
police.
The prisoner is Albert Hiding
Kinberg. SO. a Stockholm ex-
porter of bread and chocolate

Stockholm said today. "he could
only have wanted to see Molotov
to ask for peace"
my son believed that every
thing could be achieved through
quiet friendliness." said the
mother. Mrs. Margot Rodatz-
Kinberg.
The Swedish consulate here
said the incident occurred jan
uary rs when Mr.. Kinberg tried
to force his way into the Soviet
Embassy.
A consulate spokesman said
Mr.. Kinberg was being held in
East Berlin and that Swedish
officials so far had been unable
to see him.
The spokesman said Mr.. Kim
berg was disturbed in his mind"
about world conditions. He said
the man went to the Soviet EN-
bassy January 26, the day after
the Big Four conference opened
in West Berlin, to see Mr.. Molo-
tov and TRY to bring peace"
At the time, the Big Four were
meeting in the Allied Control
Authority Building in the Amer
lean sector.
Mr.. Kinberg was refused en-
try to the Soviet Embassy, the
spokesman said. and attacked
East German Peoples Police on
guard duty there. Some reports
said Mr.. Kimberg floored five
guards before he was overpoW-
cred but the consulate could not
verify this.

Check of East Zone Refugees
Is Thorough, Strict, Humane

one of a number Of kinds Of
illegal activity.
Most, however, do qualify.
Great improvements have
taken place in the handling of
refugees since the hectic days
last year when as many as 5000
a day were passing through the
Berlin receiving centers.
From a high of 48,700 in
March, 1883. the number has
fallen to 5000 in December.
During the first week of the
Big Four conference here, only
1913 showed up at the center.
The flow of refugees through
the Berlin airlock serves as a
reliable barometer of political
sentiment in East Germany. The
big flow started in January and
February of last year when the
Russians began a series of moves
to seal off their zone more tightly
from the West. 1t dropped dra-'
matically after the June riots
in East Berlin and the relaxa-
ton of restrictive measures
which followed them. In De-
cember. when rumors of the Big
Four conference began circulat-
ing. there was another drop.
But the West Berlin officials
aren't kidding themselves. They
realize that the happy situation
today is conditioned very strongly
by hope of solid accomplishment
at the conference here.
If nothing happens. the city
is resigned to a new avalanche
of refugees that may make every
thing so far seem like child'S
play. 1t may take a little while
for the real facts of the confer
ence to penetrate the zone and
little more time to stage the
flight. But there is little doubt
that the refugee business will
soon be booming again.

BY the Assoeioied Press

Igor Gouzenko. the former
Soviet code clerk who gave Com
munist espionage secrets to the
West. said today the U.S.SR.
would be at war with the free
world within 10 years "if it is
left up to the Soviet high COM
mand."
But he added, in an interview
with Columnist Commentator
Drew Pearson, that IF you take
the will of the Russian people
alone, independently from their
masters, they wish peace will be
forever"
The interview was recorded in
Canada for telecasting tonight.
The text was made public here.
Mr.. Gouzenko went back over
statements he first made several
years ago, which were taken by
Senate investigators as corrobor-
ating evidence that Alger Hiss
was an agent of the Russian
government.
But Mr.. GouZenko said today.
as apparently he had before, that
he was never given the name of
a person described to him as a
Soviet agent who was an assist
ant to the late Secretary of
State Edward Stettinius at the
San Francisco conference of 1915.
That conference set up the
United Nations organization.
Didn't Know Name.
Mr.. Gouzenko said in the in
tervieW with Mr.. Pearson that a
cipher clerk named Kulakov told
him he learned in Moscow that
the assistant of Stettinius is a
Soviet agent, but he didn't say
her name or his name and I
believe he didn't know it."
Mr.. Pearson asked whether
there was ever any evidence
that Alger Hiss was associated
with the Russian spy ring"
Mr.. Gouzenko replied, Ito this
1 can answer that I didn't have
direct evidence. but there were
the words of ciper clerk Kulakov. 4"
Hiss, who was an assistant to
Mr.. Stettinius, is now serving a
prison term for perjury based on
his denial that he passed United
States Government secrets to a
Soviet spy ring.
The Senate Internal Security
subcommittee in a report last
summer quoted from an FBI
memorandum touching on an
interview with Mr.. Gouzenko
soon after he broke with the

Soviet Embassy in Canada and
disclosed the existence of Soviet
spy ring.
The memorandum as quoted
directed attention to various;
statements about Hiss and "tos
the statement by Gouzenkos
regarding an assistant to the
Secretary of State who was a
Soviet agent" 1t also referred
to Mr. Gouzenko as one of. the
sources of information on Hiss
connection with the Communist
underground" %
Mr.. Gouzenko has been re-
interviewed for the subcommit-
tee by Chairman Jenner and
others. but the information OBJ
tanned has not been made public.
Senator Jenner said earlier one
purpose of the new interview
was to try to determine whether
the statement attributed to Mr..
GouZenko was a reference to
Hiss or to some one else who
might lead US to a new espionage
ring in Government" u
Mr.. Gouzenko said under
questioning by Mr.. Pearson that
any program to entice Russian
military men to desert to the
West should include promise OF
help Ito find a good job which
would use his talent and ability"
He said it might happen that
high-ranking officer would
actually be convinced on our
side" but would not make the
break because he is afraid he
will be Inundated here, he will
be put to work as a janitor."
In support of his estimate Of
the Russian military's attitude
toward possible future war, Mr..
Gouzenko quoted his former
chief, Col. Zabotin, as saying
about Americans, yesterday our
allies. today our neighbors.
tomorrow our. enemies"

taken up in q fourth secret meet
ing at time as yet not fixed.
The Western ministers made
plain to Mr.. Molotov in yeSter-
days secret session. it was
understood. that they have no
intention whatever of accepting
his flve-power conference de-
mand, but that they are deeply
interested in having the Berlin
meeting break the Communist
United Nations Command dead
lock over arrangements for q
Korean peace settlement.
Progress along this line could
lead directly into negotiations
for peace in Indo-China. Mr..
Molotov repeatedly was told.
Following the session yester-
day. one Western source said the
four ministers had made "a
shade Of progress" Another said
there was evidence the East and
West were looking for common
ground.

Join Immediately In completing
the Austrian treaty. which would
end the occupation of the coun-
try by $4,000 troops, two thirds
of them Russian. r'the whole
world will rejoice in the demon
stration" that the Soviet Union,
the United States, Britain and
France can cooperate ito serve
the cause Of peace and justice.
On the economic side. Mr..
Dulles said the shameful bur-
den" imposed on Austria for the
last five years was one of the rea-
sons why the treaty should now
be concluded.
"Since 1949," he said. "the
Soviet Union has extracted from
so-called German assets in its
zone Of Austria at least 5000 mil
lion in net profits. This Is a sum
larger than the lump sum in
demnity which in l949 was set
by the Soviet Union as the price
for the return to Austria of only
some Of these assets"
Long Discussions Cited.
Mr.. Dulles commented on the
fact that only five articles of the
treaty. and review OF the eco
nomic terms which were worked
out in 1949, now block conclusion
Of the treaty.
After 374 discussions and 10
years of unfulfilled pledges" MIR.
Dulles said. II believe my col
leagues will agree with me that
these and only these steps need
to be taken. No other issues are
relevant to our task"
Mr.. Figl made his appearance
at a regular session late in the
afternoon which followed a Sc
cret meeting on Asiatic questions.
The mild-mannered Austrian
made an imprisoned plea to
restore his nations sovereignty
and deliver its Z million people
from occupation for the first
time since 1888. He asked that
the economic terms of the draft
treaty be revised lin a sympa-
thetic and generous spirit"
These terms would benefit
Russia as the treaty now stands.
They provide for a payment of
$3.50 million over a six-year
period by Austria for the re-
demption Of factories in the
Soviet occupation zone which
were seized as German assets.
They would also give Russia
the lions share of Austrian oil
production for a period of Is
to 80 years. Mr.. Figl argued that
the disposal of the country's
mineral resources is IAN inalien-
able right for every free people"
There was strong indication
that if Mr.. Molotov would drop
his insistence on Big Five par
ley including Red China, Mr..
Dulles would be willing to re-
verse the previous American DO
sition that Russia should attend
the proposed Korean political
conference only as a partner of
Red China and North Korea
rather than as a non belligerent.

had appealed for an easing of
this harsh and inequitable"
burden.
2. A new definition of troop
withdrawal, so worded that the
Russians could remain indefi-
nitely in Austria, even after
Austria has its sovereignty.
Seeks to Stay in Austria.
The Russian plan provides for
troop withdrawal from Vienna,
but Mr.. Molotov said troops re-
naming in Austria would not
be occupation troops nor would
they intervene with internal
Austrian affairs. The legal
status of these troops would be
determined by a special agree
ment drawn up by the four
powers with the participation Of
Austria"
Thus, Mr.. Molotov was seeking
to preserve the existence of the
Red army on Austrian soil in
some legal framework. Once
they have to leave. postwar
treaties with Romania and
Hungary would go into effect,
requiring Soviet troops to leave
those satellite countries also.
The Observation-Disclosures gar
rlsons of the Soviet army have
international sanction only as
forces protecting the line Of
communications to the Austrian
occupation force.
Mr.. Molotov's propos sails
amounted to a clear rebuff to
Mr.. Figl's appeal and also one
made to the Big Four by Secre-
tary of State Dulles. The Amer
lean statesman called on Russia
to end the LONG and shabby

He also backed Mr.. Figl's re-
quest for revision of proposed
treaty terms which would give
Russia a stranglehold on Aus

years and require Austria to pay
$3.50 million in order to reclaim
assets in the Soviet zone which
were as alleged Nazi German
assets.

Lafayette Theoter

Recent press lnouncementS indi-
cate. that 81 powerful congressional
clique is planning to construct ma
tional theater and opera house in
Washington. Lovers of drama, operate
and symphonic music and ballet in the
National Capital hope that the plans
will materialize. The sponsors of the
bill include both Republicans and DEM
ocratS.
The New York delegation wish to
name it in honor of Christopher Column
bus AS there actually are more Italians
in the vicinity of Manhattan than
there are in Rome. the naming Of the
ediflce presents potential political pos
sibilities.
In view of the fact that at present
there are ample testimonials to Column
bus here, including an attractive foun-
tain and monument on Capitol Plaza,
and the main doors at the Capitol It
self depict scenes relating to the life of
the illustrious navigator. it is hoped
that the national theater will be named
in honor of Lafayette inasmuch as the
bicentennial of his birth will occur on
the 9th of September. 1857.
Through Lafayette's influence, the
army of CORVALLIS was bottled up at

This and That

There is something in nature that no
one can put into print, haze Of beauty
that defies placing, dream OF better
things that Gusts pessimism.
One time we can remember was right
after a late afternoon thunderstorm,
when a rainbow appeared. This was
over in Georgetown. a quarter Of q
century ago.
Another time was recently, when a
light snowfall covered the ground. A
hundred glistening starlings few down
and spread out across the back lawn.
They reminded the observer of black
roses on white. picture no artist could
paint, or, at least. ever has.
+
At such time. the thrill of observation
is very great, and it has nothing at
all to do with science, or art, or even
living. It impinges on what is called
the soul, for want Of better word.
These times, as we phrase them, are
not for all persons at the same time.
No doubt every one has his own times"
full Of precious moments he cannot
forget.
Another such picture was the IL
evergreen in the snow.
Another. the single female redbird
on the feeding station, wearing q
diadem of ice.
Another picture. the last time we
saw Lily Belle, the robin.
Lily would be IL years old now,
II still alive.
Probably she has gone the way Of
