Joseph and eight other boys

playing. Joseph told this story:
The boys often used the
dunes along the river ASA bat

war. They we're playing this
game Saturday night when
three older boys suddenly APP

The youngsters ducked quick

they peered over the tops to
see what was up two more
shots were fred. They tied a
rag to the end of a stick, held
it up, and one of them cried,
Truce. Two Jima."
More shots were fred and
the badly frightened young
sters started to run. At the top
of a dune Tommy suddenly
stopped. fell and rolled down

The boys stopped running
and the shooting stopped. One

original Western objections to
having the meeting at q round
table. The West had feared that
If only a round table was used
the Russians would try to
squeeze in first the East Ger
mans and later the Poles and
Czechoslovaks as full partici-
pants.
Under the agreed upon form
ula the Germans are advisers
and not full participants as de-
manded by the Russians.
If either the East or West
German representative desires
to speak, the conferenc chair
man will ask If any Of the Big
Four foreign ministers has any
objections. If there are none,
the floor will be given to the
Germans.
compromise OHer
The Western powers, regard
ing East Germany as a Soviet
satellite, opposed the Soviet
demand that the regime have
the right of full participation
in the Big Four sessions. The
West offered, however, to work
out some compromise arrange
ment to give delegations from
both East Germany and West
Germany the right to speak
under certain conditions.
A British delegation spokes-
man said the informal meeting
was arranged during a brief
discussion between Mr.. Lloyd
and Mr.. Gromyko.
The two had met in a futils
effort to settle the dispute.
Unable to Meet Schedule
The spokesman said Mr..
Lloyd and Mr.. Gromyko de-
cided that as things stood
there was no chance Of the
formal conference beginning on
schedule at 1880 pm. and they
agreed to postpone.
Mr.. Lloyd explained to Mr.
Gromyko the Western powers
stand on the status of the two
Germanys.
The meeting was brief. II

gested that an informal Bis

thing the Western powers had
expected.
Retreat Predicted
One British official said /:
"Gromyko's demand that both
German delegations should
have the right to speak at the
conference whenever they wish
is a typical Russian maneuve,
to create an obstacle.
1T may be expected that in
due course they will retreat
from this position and that
they will represent their retreat
as a concession.
Meanwhile. all the Big -Four
foreign ministers were enter
tanned at a luncheon by the

His objective may have been

the hope that everything Of
Importance would finally be
kicked up to the summit. A
secondary motive. OF course.
would be TO exploit the major
Western division between those
who want talks at almost any
price and those who don't.
In this last aim at least the
Russian move seems TO have
failed. The allies quickly
framed their answer TO the
Russian proposal. So far as
can be learned here there was
no serious disagreement as to
what the answer should be.
Tactical tumble Seen
A number Of diplomats here
feel. however, that the West

leaving 1t to the ministers after
the opening session Of the con-
ference itself. Instead the
question was referred immedi- (
ately to the ministers and be-
came the major item of their
meeting on conference tactics
yesterday afternoon.
In the course Of the meeting
the Western position was es-
tablished. AS explained by |
Assistant Secretary Of State |
Andrew Berding.
"Our attitude was to main !
tain the position maintained in
the exchange Of notes with the
Soviet Union that we do not
recognize the East Germans as
full participants"
The particular note to which
Mr.. Berding referred was sent
March rs. It stated: The
United States Government also
notes that the Soviet govern
ment agrees with the proposal /
made in its note of February |
is that German advisers
should be invited to the meet
ing on May H." The wording of |
the sentence. said Mr.. Berding, |
lin our opinion means advisers,
not participants"
Russian Gambit
To this note the Soviet gov
eminent replied on March 80;
LAS follows from the exchange
of opinions which has taken
place. the questions about both
German States-the German
Democratic Republic and the
Federal Republic of Germany
being represented at the con-
ference of ministers Of foreign |
affairs beginning May IL can be |
considered agreed on"
But the question Of the shape |
of the table came unstuck
again today. The conference
was delayed for several hours
while a compromise was worked
out.
The practice of raising prob
lens and then yielding on |
them, "in the interests Of /
psace" is an old Russian tactic. !
The effect is to put the West |
in the position of refusing to
negotiate while placing maxi
mum emphasis on Russia's
spirit of Cancellation"
