unknotted.
He said West Berlin's future
must be settled as a separate
issue. Nearly six months ago
the Russians demanded that
the West withdraw from West
Berlin. leaving 1t an unarmed
free" city.
East German Premier Otto
Grotewohl also has rejected
any all-Berlin solution. He
declared last month that any
plan extending international
control to East Berlin, the East
German capital. would be COM
pletely unacceptable.
Herter Conciliatory
In his first major speech to
the foreign ministers yester-
day, Mr.. Herter struck a con-
ciliatory tone and avoided
attacks on Russia. He declared
the United States, in. deadly
earnest" wants to reach self
enforcing agreements to ease
tension now spelling relations
between the free world and the
Soviet Union"
He said the United States
stands ready to join in q sum-
NIT conference if satisfactory
progress" is made here, but he
said the United States could
not make this progress alone.
French Foreign Minister
Maurice Couve de Murville was
much tougher than Mr.. Herter
In speech read for him be-
cause he was i'll, he pinned the
blame on Russia for starting
the Berlin crisis and said:
Instead of a desire to find
common ground, We have an
avowed determination in some
(the Soviet quarters to see
their views prevail at all costs. -
The Russians were still trying
to give their East German sat-
elite delegates equality with
the big powers around the con-
ference table.
Mr.. Gromyko in private con-
verSations with the Western
ministers demanded that the
Germans have the right to
make proposals as well as
speeches.
The East Germans also are
still insisting that German be
accepted as one of the official
languages at the conference
table. 1t has been accepted
that the Germans can speak
in their own language, but they
want all conference speeches
translated into German also.

Rhode Island, who heads the

He said House spokesman
refused to bulge from a SIS

which the extra IS million
would bring Federal lump sum
aid to the city this fiscal year.
The House has also voted a
$25 million grant for the, new

Congress a year ago authorized
an annual payment of $32
million. The District Commits

to lift the grant for next year

now is employed as legislative
assistant to Senator Bennett,
Republican of Utah. Mr.. Jaques
lives in the 5000 block of Liv-

the Russians are far less

the danger Of excessive pub

Already some diplomats have

REACTION
House Debate Due
Tuesday on Housing

The FIRST reaction Of House
leaders Of both parties was that
any compromise would be dim
cult 10 obtain. They refused 70
predict whether the committee
bill would be approved In sub
stance by the House. They
called attention 10 the "impon-
derables" In any farm bill TO-
day. They added that the cleo
ton Of many Democrats from
urban and industrial districts
last November might affect the
course Of House action.
Oppose Gas Tax Boost
As for the third legislative
matter urged by Mr.. Eisen-
hover. House Ways and Means
Committee Chairman Mills.
Democrat Of Arkansas. and re-
portedly a majority Of his COM
mittee oppose a temporary
gasoline tax increase from three
cents to "a cents a gallon July
l TO prevent an impending def
icit in the Interstate Highway
Trust Fund. And Senator
Mansfield Of Montana. the act
ing Democratic leader. said
there's no possibility Congress
win consider such a move.
Mr.. Halleck also disclosed
that a difference Of opinion"
has developed among House
Republicans on the gas tax
question.
Mr.. Eisenhower said Con-
gress should enact the gas tax
increase In accordance with the
'pay-as-you-go" amendment
sponsored by Senator Byrd,
Democrat of Virginia. in the
1856 law. Mr.. Mills said there
are ways of shifting other tax
revenue to the highway trust
fund to prevent a deficit. In
that connection the Eisenhower
message stated:
THE recent suggestion that
receipts from the manufacture
ers' excise tax on automobiles
be earmarked for the highway
trust fund is an unsatisfactory
alternative. The transfer of
those receipts, running about
81 billion a year, from the gen.
eral fund to the highway trust
fund would mean only that the
problem would then be to raise
new taxes to replenish the loss
to the general fund. An even
more unsatisfactory alternative
would be to waive the pay-as-
you-go requirement. This would
only be a refusal to face real
ity-one that Congress would
be hard put to explain"
Backs Pay-as-YOu-GO
Senator Byrd said yesterday
he would oppose any attempt
to end the pay-as-you-go re-
Iquirement which was suspended
in 1858 but is scheduled to go
back into effect July /. Some
action is necessary before that
date because as long as there
is a deficit in the trust fund
no new ALLEGATION of funds can
be made after June 80 to meet
the Federal governments share
Of the highway program.
Present law provides that
motor fuel and other highway
user taxes are paid into the
fund. While Federal grants
amounting to 90 per cent of
the cost Of building the high
way system are paid to the
States out Of the fund.

REACTION

Continued From First Pare
Republican opposition was be-
lieved almost certain 10 doom
his request for a gasoline tax
increase TO prevent a deficit In
the interstate highway trust
fund. In serious doubt also
was the fate Of his proposal
concerning wheat price sup
ports The House Agriculture
Committee late yesterday re-
ported out a bill greatly at
variance with administration
recommendations.
On Mr.. Eisenhower's message
as a whole. Speaker Rayburn
said: 1T looks to me like a
purely political document"
House leaders we're heSitant
today to predict what will hap
pen to the housing bill next
week, Minority Leader Hal
leck predicted earlier that the
House would knock out the
public housing provisions of
that bill and pass a substitute
In line with administration
wishes. He also noted that
House Democrats probably
could not override a presi-
dential veto Of a housing
bin and thus would take the
Republican version, rather
Dan nothing at all.
Hard Fight Expected
House Democratic leader Nc
cormack and sponsors of the
hO,iSing bill anticipate a hard
ilRht onN the public housing
and urban renewal sections of
the bill But they believe they
VII pick up enough Republic
can votes to save most of the
measure. They recalled that
the. Senate last February
passed a $2.6 billion measure
6D-28 and that both versions
probably would go to a con-
ference committee.
Mr.. Eisenhower last January
recommended a housing bill
providing the Sc billion mort
gage guarantee authorization,
$500 million for urban renewal
erants and 5000 million for coll
lege housing loans.
Wheat Bill Reported Out
A. few hours after the Eisen-
hover message reached the
Capitol. the House Agriculture
Committee met without adj
vance public notice and re-
ported out wheat support bill.
This provided for a 80 per cent
cut in wheat acreage and an
increase in the support level for
wheat from rs per cent of
parity to 80 per cent in 1860
and 1861.
This was not the bill the
President wanted. Agriculture
Secretary Benson has contended
that price supports. now at
the minimum level permitted
by law, have been too high. He
also has held that the law does
not allow sharp enough reduce
tions in planting allotments.
Committee Chairman Cooley,
Democrat of North Carolina,
criticized the Presidents mes
sage as being "anti-farmer." He
took particular issue with Mr..
Eisenhower's reference to
mounting failures and stagger-
ing excuses of the mandatory
farm price support and produce
ton control program.

to New York.
A 33-man motorcycle escort
ushered the Presidents car
into Manhattan by way OF the
Lincoln Tunnel under the Hud-
son River. Mr.. Eisenhower
stood up In the bubble-top
limousine and waved 10 about
300 persons lined up near the
tunnel exit.
As his limousine proceeded

ment districts en- route 10 the

many standpoints.
The site OF the center was
cleared Of rundown dwellings
and other buildings for the
huge construction project to be
completed in 1868.
Mr.. Eisenhower said the CEN

the Soviet Union.
1t was also provided that if
united Germany allied itself
with NATO. special measures
would be taken to regulate the
disposition of forces in Ger
man border areas near the
Communist bloc. The meas
ures would regulate forces in
West Germany if Germany
allied itself with the Warsaw
pact.
The West also offered agree
ments between the four powers
and other European countries
about joint reaction against
aggression" which seemed to
I imply a willingness to enter
into a European security
/ treaty.
The Western representatives
already were preparing a sec
ond or fall back" position.
Alternative Demand
AS an alternative, the United
States, Britain and France re-
portedly will demand that
their right to remain in Berlin
and their right of access to the
city be spelled out, with the
East Germans as well as the So
VETS underwriting the agree
ment. In return. the West will
agree to East German officials
controlling the access routes to
Berlin as agents of the Rus
slams.
An important disagreement
remained to be settled between
the Americans and British on
the one hand and the French
and West Germans.
The Americans and British
favor a sort of United Nations
high commissioner to be posted
| in Berlin and U. N. super
visors at checkpointS on the
access routes. The French,
backed by the West Germans,
argue that the situation al
ready is complicated enough
without introducing the world
organization.
Herter Starts Business
Mr.. Herter, presiding yester-
day, finally got the conference
down to business in its third
day, when the opening speeches
of the foreign ministers were
delivered. The previous two
days had been spent turning
down Mr.. Gronyko's moves to
win a place for East and West
Germany and Poland and
Czechoslovakia as full partici-
pants.
East and West Germany may
speak in the conference within
certain limits and Mr.. Gromyko
| is expected to bring UP the
question of Poland and Czecho-
slovakia again.
The package plan worked up
by the West would extend
four-power responsibility over
all Berlin after it is united by
free elections. The West
would offer a pledge that the
city would not be used as a
center of anti-Soviet propa-
ganda and political activity
Eventually the city would be-
come the capital of a reunited
Germany.
Two Limited Concessions
On German reunification. the
plan offered two limited con-
cessions. One was a proposal
to create a commission of East
and West Germans to promote
such things as trade and travel
between the two Germanys as
an approach to unity Russia
has been demanding that the
two Germanys work out their
own unification agreement.
Another concession would re-
verse the timing Of all German
elections. Previously, the West
has demanded free elections as
| a first step toward unification.
Russia would never accept this.
Now the new Western formula
provides for free elections as
one of the final steps, several
years from now.
Mr.. Gromyko rejected the
package in advance yesterday.
He said the West intends to
"muddle together various po-
: litical problems into one tan

precisely on the argument over
procedure which the allies
hopefully consider settled.
Conflicting Opinions
So far as the allies are con-
cerned, the argument over the
status of the two German DEE
cations at the conference was
settled when Mr.. Gromyko
agreed to consider them as adj
visers, rather than participants.
With convincing sincerity.
Westerners who sat in on the
talks say there can be no doubt
whatever that the Russians ac-
copied this advisory status on
which the seating arrange
nients at the conference were
made.
AT their public session
Yesterday, however, Michael
Kharmalov, the official Russian
spokesman, volunteered a for
nal statement. In response to
many inquiries, he said, he
wanted once and for all to clear
UP the existing differences of
Interpretation about the status
of the East and West German
delegations.
Recalling that under the
agreement both delegations
have pledged that no hinder
ance would be raised 70 their
participation, Mr.. Kharlamov
concluded:
THE idea that the East Ger
mans are here as advisers to
the Soviet delegation or that
the West Germans are mere as
advisers to the Western powers
Is the result of a nisunder-
standing which simply does not
correspond with the facts"
The other most striking case
concerns the participation of
the Poles and Czechs. On this
point, Mr.. Kharmalov went a
good deal further than his own
Foreign Minister, declaring
that "the Soviet delegate n
considers the question of Polish
and Czech participation as in
cluded on the A6Sada of the
conference"
Demands Repeated
Again the official spokesman
repeated the Russian demands
for a positive solution" of the
question. adding that IF all
the participants want a sue
lcessful conference, there is no
other solution possible
Both Mr.. Gromyxo and his
subordinates are quite obviously
getting their orders direct from
Moscow. There can he little
doubt that any striking differ
fences of Interpretation and
Stone are thoroughly calculated
ahead of time.
AS between their public and
private statements, however,
there is, in fact. some question
about who is more accurately
expressing the real Russian line
