Mar. 10 (AP).-It's a rare day,

But it has happened and the
cause was the price Of peas.
Queen Elizabeth and Prince

make money on their Sandring-
ham farm, have threatened to
cancel a pea growing contract
with a frozen food company.

well haul away its $500 pea
separating machine from the
royal farm in Norfolk.
The controversy over money
came up when the company de-
cided to pay $l26 a ton for peas
instead Of paying by the acre.
The company said no profit
could be made paying by the
acre and the royal farm found
there was no profit in growing
peas for 1925 a ton.
The royal couple told Farm
Manager Roger Mutimer that

made to pay its way"

25-Cent Fare
lfSubsidyFaiIs
D. c. Officials Split
On School Plan as
Hearings Open
BY JAMES G. DEANE
star Stan Writer

A 25-cent fare will be sought
by June if Congress fails to
grant D. c. Transit System a
school-fare subsidy, Transit
President o. Roy Chalk said
today.
Mr.. Chalk told reporters of
the fare-increase plan at hear
ings on the subsidy question
opened today by a House Dis
trict Subcommittee.
The transit chief did not
testify but is expected to appear
tomorrow.
District officials split on the
subsidy move at the hearing.
Robert E. Mclaughlin. presi-
dent Of the District Commits
Sioners. backed one of two
pending subsidy bills with a
request for changes. Com
misSioners David B. Karrick
and A. c. yelling fatty OPP
posed any subsidy.
Kertz Backs Principle
Chairman George E. C. Hayes
Of the Public Utilities Commits
sion did not commit himself.
But P. U. c. Commissioner
Harold A. Kertz backed the
subsidy principle as preferable
to a fare rise.
He said, however:
"At the present time I don't
think the need exists"
The p. U. c. members said
the commissions staff has pre-
dicted that the transit firm this
year may top the ga per cent
return suggested in its fran
chise as not unreasonable"
In this case. the company
would be required to pay some
District gasoline taxes for the
first time, they noted. The gas
tax relief is one Of several
subsidy provisions already In
the transit franchise.
Mr.. Chalk. after the hearing,
took sharp issue with the
p. U. c. revenue prediction.
I'VE won't even come close
to 4 per cent" he asserted.
The transit company and the
P. U. c. have differed over
revenue computations.
d. C. Would Distribute
One Of the two pending bills
would authorize the District to
buy transit tickets at regular
fares and sell them to children
under 10 for a maximum Of
half price. The other bill would
require the District TO pay the

Mr. Brandt gave his reasons:
He feared that a meeting with
Mr.. Khrushchev might EN-
danger the four-power occu-
patton status of West Berlin.
He believed also that discus
sion of the occupation status Of
the city should properly be re-
served for the occupying pow

even greater force to Mr.
Ollenhauer's visit.
Brandt Risks Future
In breaking with his politi-

ing his own future as an up

national Office if and when the
Socialists return to power in
Germany. And although his
refusal to meet Mr.. Khru-

He named no names. but said:
I'VE advise this country that
Is cooperating with imperial
ism TO stop spreading lies. be-
cause these will not affect the
Iraqi Republic.
This imperialist state must
know that the people and Army

Gen. Kassem's regime has
been at loggerheads with Col.

lines advocated in Cairo.

claim-denied throughout yes

West Is Likely to Ask
Geneva Talks in Nav
Reds to Get
Ministers
PorIey Call

PARIS, Mar. 10 (AP) LIE
formed courses said today the
Western powers probably will
propose to Russia soon a
Geneva meeting of foreign
in May to negotiate
on German issues.
British and French diplo-
matte spokesman told neWSmen
the West has agreed to propose
a date and a place in the near
future. but they declined to
disclose details.
The latest Russian note on
the subject suggested that, if
the Western powers would not
agree to a summit conference,
the foreign ministers convene
at Geneva or Vienna in April.
The spokesman talked with
newsmen following a three
hour meeting here between
British Prime Minister Mac
milan and President de GaulIe
on the Berlin and German
situations.
May Offer Choice
A May meeting of foreign
ministers would allow the West
plenty of time after NATO's
10th anniversary meeting in
Washington early in April.
Russian sources in Paris have
indicated they would welcome
a date early in May, despite
Moscow's call for a start in
April.
1t is possible that the West
ern notes will allow several
choices.
A group Of West German,
American, British and French
diplomats is now in session
here working out the details
of the Western answers to the
Soviet notes.
Agrees With De GaulIe
Mr.. Macmillan, who flies
home tonight, said he had
found "a great measure Of
sympathy and agreement" in
his discussions with Gen. de
Gaulle.
The British leader made the
statement as he left the Elysee
Palace after a meeting that
lasted an hour longer than ex-
pected.
Reporters asked the Prime
Minister for his impressions Of
the talks. He first started by
saying full agreement" and
then backtracked to say "a
great measure of agreement"
Gen. de Gaulle is believed to
favor a much tougher approach
to the Russians than the
British.
Shouts StartIe Macmillan
The Prime Minister and
Foreign Secretary 6elwyn Lloyd
walked back to the British
Embassy after the Elysee Palace
session. Some paSsers-by shout
ed "Vive Macmillan. One dis
senter cried Macmillan go
home" and the Prime Minister
looked up startled.
New Approach on Arms
The big item to be threShed
out was Mr.. Macmillan's new
approach to the old idea of
arms reduction in Central Eu-
rope-a proposition of which
Gen. de Gaulle and the French
are highly suspicious.
With Gen. de Gaulle and Mr..
Macmillan for their talks were

Minister Maurice Couve de
