HommorskjoId's Trip
Gains New importance

talks with. Soviet Premier Khru-
shchev and other Kremlin lead
ers we're communicated to the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-02-26

Il
| Mr.. Hammarskjold has long
planned a trip TO Moscow. but
now It takes on special signif-
icance because Of the East
West controversy over Berlin.
He will fly to Moscow from AZ
ghanistan at the end Of a swing
through Southeast Asia.
Western officials are expected
TO take advantage of Mr.. Ham
marskjold's Moscow visit to ad-
vance their efforts to compose
East West differences over Ber-
lin before the military show
down stage is reached,
Timing Is Important
In this respect the timing Of
the trip is especially important.
The U. N. Secretary General
will see Soviet leaders just be-
fore the Western Foreign Min
listers convene in Washington
and probably just after British
Prime Minister Macmillan's
swing through Paris, Bonn and
Washington discussing his cur
rent Kremlin talks with Pre-
Imier KhrushcheV.
It can be assumed that Mr..
Hammarskjold will be fully in
formed Of the Vests position
on the Berlin crisis, which the
Soviet Union precipitated last
November.
The United States Ambassa-
dor to the United Nations.
Henry Cabot Lodge, jr., already
has talked with Mr.. Hammar-
skiold about the Soviet threat
to turn over control of the
VESTS Berlin access route to
Communist East Germany.
Mr.. Lodge is expected to see
him again before the U. N. Of
fetal leaves New York Satur-
day.
The hope here is that Mr..
Hammarskjold can impress on
Premier Khrushchev the proba-
bility that a majority of the
United Nations General AS
sembly would vote against the
Soviet Union if its violation
of the Horsepower occupation
agreements were brought before
the organization.
To Explore Reaction
At the same time Mr.. Ham
marskjold could be expected to
explore Soviet reactions to a
Western move on Berlin in the
U. N. Security Council and
General Assembly.
There is no intention among
Washington officials, however,
to invoke the United Nations
formally at this stage as a
third party" or neutral" ar
bitter between the two sides in
the Berlin crises.
1t is pointed out that the
Western Big Three, Britain,
France and the United States,
along with the Soviet Union,
have the primary responsibility
for German affairs as the
occupying powers.
The Western Big ThreeS IL
NATO allies also are particle
pating in Western planning
to meet the Soviet threat to
force the West out of West
Berlin.
The plan is to work first to
persuade the Soviet Union not
to go through with its plans
to give East Germany control
of land, water and air routes
to West Berlin.
If this fails, a test convoy
of Western-power vehicles is
then planned. Communist East
German officials along the
lautobahn corridor to West Ber-
hin, will be allowed to look at the
convoy leaders papers, accord
ing to this plan, but not to
take them or stamp them or
inspect the convoy cargo.
If the East German officials
insist on some form of recogni-
ton of their Communist re-
gime, the convoy will retire and
the West will take the case to
the United Nations, according
to this plan.
