Western Allies Crowd Cromyko For Peace Terms

GENEVA, R - The United States, Britain and France today pressed the Soviet Union in the Big Four conference to suspend it's threats against West Berlin and negotiate stopgap settle ment to ease tensions over the divided city.
 U. s. Secretary of State Chris tian Herter, British Foreign Sec retary Selwyn Lloyd and French Foreign Minister Couve de Mur- vile met with Soviet Foreign Min ister Gromyko at Gromyko's villa in midafternoon.
 Their session continued secret talks which opened here Friday in an effort to find a formula for averting a military showdown over Berlin and clearing the way to a summit conference.
 The Vests big three still ex- pect the Soviet to agree not to disturb the status of West Berlin despite Premier Khrushchev's dec laration that he won't bargan for a settlement.
 In the secret talks, Western dip lomats said today, the Western powers are trying to get replies from Gromyko to two critical questions:
 l. What are his conditions for a Berlin settlement?
 2. Is he qualified to negotiate and sign a Berlin agreement here or is he simply instructed to mar row differences in order to pre- pare for summit conference?
 Herter, Lloyd and Corve de Murville, in other words, are try ing to get moving on detailed ne gotiations for a Berlin. formula.
 The Western powers have told the Soviet minister that any Der lin settlement must guarantee use of the supply lines across East Germany to West Berlin. The West is reported ready to try to elimi- nate some activities in West Berlin which the Russians have de- nounced as cold war "subversive activities" But they want any limitations imposed on East and West Berlin alike.

Alaska Airlines Claims Lead in Passenger Service

Alaska Airlines carried more passengers during the month of April than any other carrier serv- ing Alaska, it was reported last week by Charles F. Willis, Jr., president and general manager of the company.
 The pioneer Alaskan airline took the lead by carrying a total of 9,824 passengers during the month, an increase of 76 per cent, Willis pointed out. During the same per iod, passenger miles flown totaled 8,091 ,000 as compared to 2,199,000 in April, 1858, an increase of 276 per cent, and revenue ton miles stood at 1,O2O,OO3 versus 462,983 for 1858, 120 per cent gain.
 The publicity resulting from Alaskan statehood, and the new DC-6C Golden Nugget" service which the company inaugurated last August, were credited by Willis as the principal factors in making the gains possible.

Pet Deer Adopted By
Hugh Ream Family i.

Not everyone has deer for a
pet-but occasionally one becomes
tame enough to domeSticate.
Such a one is Buckle a white
tail that came some months ago to
the old Bray farm near Swallow
Falls, and who subsequently was
adopted by Hugh Ream, who re-
sides there.
During deer season, dead deer
are usually the big attraction, but
not here. Many hunters came from
miles around to see Buckle, the
domestic deer, who would eat out
of your hand-as long as it had
something in it to eat. Feeding
deer ISN'T much of problem after
they reach the button buck stage,
for they will eat most anything you
give them from steak to forage.
Buckles idea of delicacy is drink
ing milk. or eating cigars or ciga-
rettes.
Buckle runs free to do as he
pleases, with his companion, small
brown pup who grew up with him.
The pair perform a number of
miSchevious antics and at one time
ran through a glass door while
pursuing each other around the
house.
The deer also plays with the
Ream children who think having
a real live Rudolph of their own
is like reading fairy tales which
have come true-even though his
nose isn't red.
