ing the cost Of gasoline tum-
bling to the lowest level in 10
years.
Some of the Is stations con-
centrated in a two-mile strip

little as 20 cents a gallon.
Prices of 81 and % cents we're

Major oil companies seeking
sales supremacy in the area re-

Gromyko Agreeable
To Secret Parleys
West to Try
New Method
AT Geneva
BY JOHN M. HIGHTOwER
Associated Press star Writer

GENEVA, May %. - High
Western diplomats reported
today the Big Four probably
win begin a series Of recesses
in their formal talks early next
week to make way for secret
negotiations on their disputes
in Europe.
A British source said Soviet
Foreign Minister Andrei Gro
myko has advised the West he
would be agreeable" to a new
phase of restricted exchanges
provided they take place out-
side the Palace of Nations
conference room where East
and West German delegates
are permitted to speak.
Method to Be Worked Out
United States, British,
French and West German
foreign ministers will meet
Monday to decide if and how
this Arrangement to allow
serious negotiations can be
formally worked out with Mr..
Gromyko.
The Western Foreign Minis
tiers have yet to decide finally
just how they enyisage the
working method of the present
conference to be reor5anized.
This picture emerged after a
high level meeting of American.
British, French and West Ger
man expert advisers today:
/. The conference itself will
be subjected to a series Of re-
cesses so that each side will
have to end repetitious SEMI
| public posturing.
2. The Zig Four viii take
advantage of the series Of one
or two day recesses by meeting
privately and informally.
8. There win be scope for
continued contacts between any
two of the four principals.
Pressure for Concessions
The United States ard Rus
STA are putting heat on each
other to come up with conces-
sions al the Geneva conference
which could pave the way for
a summer summit meeting.
The Soviet pressure came
from Moscow where Premier
Nikita Khrushchev was reported
to have warned the West Ger
man Ambassador that he would
sign a separate peace treaty
with East Germany If there was
mo agreement at the Geneva
foreign ministers meeting.
This threat, made to Ann
oassador Hans Knoll in a private
talk Thursday. was being ex-
amined by Western delegations
for its possible significance in
relation to the conference.
Diplomats noted Mr.. Khru-
shchev did not specify what
agreement he has in mind, and
they believe enough agreement
will be reached to assure a sum-
nit parley.
Change in Position Asked
From the American side the
pressure on Russia came in the
form of a statement saying that
after two weeks of argument
the time has come for Soviet
Foreign Minister Andrei Gro
myko to produce proposals on
German unification, the Berlin
crisis and European security
which the Western powers win
be glad to examine"
The statement. issued last
might by Assistant Secretary of
State Andrew H. Berding, in
effect urged Mr.. Gromyko to
contact Moscow during the
week end Big Four recess and
get authority to modify his pc.
sition in the conference.
