cession to end the danger of war.
 Despite pressure for a summit talk regardless of progress in Ge- neva, Eisenhower was reported in sisting the foreign ministers first must make concrete gains in cas- ing the Berlin crisis and other German problems.
 This means, informants said, that mere agreement at Geneva on a time, place and agenda for a summit meeting would not be enough to convince him that a conference with Russia's Khrush- chev would be worth while.
 Herter outlined Americas posi- ton for the East-West talks start ing Monday in nationally broad cast address last night.

Senate Considers Forming Commission To Study Alaska's Road Requirements

this year, as contemplated under the bill
 Basis of the highway difficulty is the question of whether the new state would be able to af- ford a program of highway con- struction and at the same time pay the high costs of maintenance its weather. demands.
 Alaska now receives some 13 million dollars annually under the federal aid program but is per mitted to use the money for main tenance purposes. The Admins tration proposal would give Alas ka some 37 millions a year but require that it finance it's own maintenance, as is done by other states.
 Wade had sought earlier to compromise the two approaches. His suggestion was that Alaska be allocated about 27 million dollars year but be permitted to con- tinue use of federal funds for maintenance.
 Bartlett told the committee he feels Alaska could live with the road provisions but ''it won't be easy"

CAB Suspends Proposed Fare Reductions By Northern Consolidated

WASHINGTON, tR - The Civil Aeronautics Board yesterday sus- pended proposed passenger fare reductions in Alaska of Northern Consolidated Airlines.
 The CAB. ordered an investi- gation to determine whether the fares, to have been effective to- day, would be unreasonably low or otherwise unlawful.

WASHINGTON, (R - President Eisenhower will refuse to go to a summit conference if the Russians carry out their threat to turn East Berlin over to the East German Communists.
 He will take the same stand if the Soviet sign a separate peace treaty with puppet East Germany.
 Any such one-sided Soviet ac- tion in the next few weeks un- doubtedly would wreck the Big Four foreign ministers conference due to begin in Geneva Monday.
 This American attitude became known authoritatively few hours before Secretary of State Herter's scheduled takeoff for pre-confer- ence strategy talks with the Brit iSh and French oreign ministers.
 Herter himself already has served notice that the Russians must match concession for con-

.U., s. Spurns Soviet
 Protest of Atomic
 Weapons for NATO

WASHINGTON, tRAThe United States today rejected Russia's pro- test against moves to provide nu- clear weapons and missiles to some Atlantic Pact countries.
 A formal note, delivered in Mos COW brushed aside Russia's claim that such moves represent an American effort to wreck the Big Four foreign ministers meeting due to begin in Geneva Monday.
 The note called on the Kremlin leaders to display the same atti- tude in accordance with the many Soviet public protestations of such a desire
 The American note was in reply to a Soviet protest sent April 21.
 In their note, the Soviets charged that in advance of the Geneva meeting the United States was stepping up "nuclear and rorket arming of certain North Atlantic Bloc member states"

By FRANK w. vAILLE

WASHINGTON, R - A move developed today for the appoint ment of a special commission to study Alaska Highway problems.
 The aim would be to have the group concentrate on special problems confronted by the new state.
 The proposal was made by Sen. Jackson O-Wash) yesterday while presiding over Senate Interior Committee hearing on legislation to smooth Alaska's transition to statehood.
 The commission would have rep resentation from the state and federal governments Among mat ters which it could consider, Jack son said, would be the possibility of some form of federal mainten- ance payments in proportion to the military use of Alaska high ways.
 Presumably the commission also would consider possible courses to offset the loss of some 200 million dollars Alaska experienced during the 40 years it did not participate in the federal highway program.
 Jackson said earlier he felt there would be justification for Alaska's seeking recompense for that loss.
 He emphasized, howe CT, that he didn't 'twant to hold out any false hopes - but this would af- ford an opportunity to study the situation"
 The suggestion of special study of Alaska's highway problems drew an endorsement from the new states Secretary, Hugh Wade, who earlier had contended the problem lis too big to be treated in this bill"
 He said Alaska is not seeking better treatment than that re- celVed by its sister states, but IS seeking recognition of the differ ent conditions that exist.
 Sen. Bob Bartlett said Jackson's proposal has a lot of merit but suggested that the commission be required to report it's finding dur ing the summer so as not to delay the program.
 Harold Seidman, Budget Bureau spokesman on the Alaska bill, said the bureau would prefer to see highway proposals in the pending bill left intact and the commission study ordered as separate matter. Failure to take this approach, he said, would make impossible the transfer of highway functions to the state
