it were given a reasonable time
to do its job and If the threat
Of unilateral action in the
event of failure were with

would become very interesting
indeed. And If the suggested
interim improvements were re-
phraSed. less extensively. and
put on a reciprocal basis there
would be no real objection to
putting them into effect.
Admittedly there are a great
many ifs. But what the diplo-
mats here are trying to find Is
a formula which will bridge
the gap between two directly
opposed propositions.
The Russians have said from
the beginning that they would
never sign an agreement per
petuating" the occupation re-
gime of Berlin.
The allies have vowed they
would never give UP their
rights in the city until Germany
Is reunited.
If it were amended enough,
there is just a possibility Mr..
Gromyko's proposal could pro-
vide the bridge which the Dip
lomats are seeking.
Pound on FavOrite Theme
More Immediately interesting
to the delegates here. perhaps.
is the idea that If the Russian
plan could simply be stripped
of its disagreable embel!ish-
ments it might provide enough
agreement to justify a summit
meeting.
Such an agreement would stop
where Mr.. Gromyko did not

ministers agreed to respect the
status quo in Berlin while a
German reuniflcation commits
sion did its work. And that In
the meantime an effort would
be made to find ways Of easing
tensions within the city.
The tough questions, on
which agreement can probably
not be reached here, would be
kicked up to the summit meet
ing to be decided by the heads
of the state. And again over
Geneva dinnertables the Rus
slams pound away at a favorite
theme:
"Khrushchev can do many
things himself that he would
never let Gromyko do. Prob
lens that seem insoluble here
could be arranged at the top
level. The important thing is
to get the talks started"
Within the next few days.

ton may turn out to have been
just a diplomatic pipedream.
But at this rather bleak point
where many people find them
selves almost as discouraged.

temporary breakdown in these
talks.
Although the question is still
being debated within the West
ern delegations. the majority
seem now to favor q recess Of
several weeks during which dep
uties Of the foreign ministers
would continue discussion of
the problems. With the excep-
ton Of some members Of the
American delegation. there
seems to be little sentiment for
breaking of the talks alto
gether.
On the other hand. the Rus
sian dinner table arguments
have not been completely
wasted breath. Some Western
diplomats are beginning to show
a growing interest in finding
out just how flexible the Rus
slams are on their proposals
for Berlin. There is at least
some feeling that If modified
enough the essential plan may
not be quite as Objectionable
as it originally seemed.
Lloyd C0nsults In London
While this lower level ma
neuvering goes on, Secretary of
State Herter and Soviet Foreign
Minister Andrei A. Gromyko
remained in Geneva to study
~possible ways out of the diplo-
maLic maze. There was no plan
for them to meet.
French Foreign Minister
COVE de Murville and British
Foreign Secretary Lloyd re-
turned to their capitals for
consultations.
Mr.. Lloyd arranged week -end
talks with Prime Minister Mac
milan - the Western leader
most disposed to go to the
summit. Monday morning he
will report to the British
cabinet. He will fly back to
Geneva for the private after
noon session of the ministers
in Mr.. Couve de Murville's
Geneva residence.
Stripped of its embellish-
ments, Mr.. Gromyko proposes
that the Russians and their
East German allies would re-
spect the extension of the
Western occupation in West
Berlin. pending the effort of an
East-West German commission
to work out an agreement for
German identification. During
this period normal access would
be guaranteed. In the mean
time, certain measures should
be taken with the aim of re-
ducing tension and "normaliZ-
ing" relations between the East
and West sectors of the city.
If Mr.. Gromyko had stopped
there. everyone would have
been delighted. 1t was the add
ed conditions that made the
plan totally unacceptable"
from the Western viewpoint.
One-Year Limit Proposed
These included a one-year
limit on the life Of the mixed
German committee and the
threat Of unilateral Russian ac-
ton if it failed in its objective
of finding a formula for reuni-
fication. There was also his
suggestion that the committee
itself should be composed of an
equal number of East and West
Germans. Finally, Mr.. Gromy-
kos ideas about improving"
conditions in the city were
limited to reducing the West
ern garrison there and elimi-
mating Western propaganda

The United States Court Of
Appeals today suggested that
the District Court expedite trial
of a complaint brought by a
minority group against the Uni
versal Marion Corp. the former
Capital Transit Co, and its
officers.
District Judge Edward A,
Tamm on December 5 agreed to
hold up the trial for six months
pending trial of a similar case
involving other stockholders in
New York City.
The appellate court today
permitted the minority stock
holders here to file a petition
Tor a writ Of mandamus against
Judge Tamm in an effort TO
force him to vacate his delay
ing order.
Appellate Judges George II
Washington. John A. Danaher
and Warren E. Burger said
they assumed that Judge Tamm
will on his own motion vacate
the delaying order and pro
coed to reconsideration OF the
matter"
The complaint was filed in
October, 1857, by five Washing
ton minority stockholders Of
Universal Marion.
Millions Seen Involved
They attacked the purchase
in 1857 of stock of two other
corporations, alleging that this
action was taken by Universal
Marion for the benefit of Louis
E. Wolfson and other large
stockholders and officers of the
company.
If the minority stockholders
should win their case, it is un-
derstood several million dollars
in reimbursement to Universal
Marion would be involved,
In taking their case to the
appellate court, the minority
stockholders pointed out to the
Judges that the New York case
has reached the point of set
tlement, awaiting only what is
described as a routine approval
by the New York courts.
However, the minority stock
holders have argued that this
settlement involves only one Of
the transactions complained Of
in the suit filed here.
They also have argued that
they should have priority in
any court action, since they
had exhausted all complaint
procedures outside the courts
before filing suit.
Approved by Majority
The New York action was
started before a majority Of
Universal Marion stockholders
had approved the transactions
complained of. The suit here
was filed after approval by a
majority,
The transactions objected to
Iby the minority stockholders
were purchases in 1857 of a
