Government employees who

earlier-retirement bill approved
by the Senate Civil Service
Committee.
The committees bill pro-

It now has been disclosed

Under the committees bill
they would not take any reduc-

Such a committee, Senator
Cooper said, would provide Mr.

Senator JavitS' resolution
would make it the sense of the
Senate that the United State!
should not accept a unilatera
abrogation by the SoViet

West on Berlin and Germany
(by signing a separate peace

fecting in any way the re-
Sponsibilities of the Western
powers to safeguard West Ger

Would Keep Access
1t would back the policy oi
taking whatever measures are
required, together with West
ern allies, to maintain access
to West Berlin.
1t also would provide that
the United States continue to
seek four power negotiations
on German reunification, act
ing through a committee recon-
mended by the Western plan of
1859 based on reunification Of
Germany by free elections.
Any further negotiations on
Berlin, Senator JavitS asserted,
should start with the 1859
Western proposals.
He said the United States
must not accept a hurried solu-
ton under pressure of Soviet
Premier Khrushchev's threats,
repeated yesterday in the
Kremlin. Mr.. Khrushchev said
he will sign a peace treaty with
East Germany by the end of the
year. Such a move would turn
over to the East German Com
munist government, which the
Western powers do not rec
ognize, control over routes to
West Berlin.
While he agreed with Sena-
tor Mansfield's statement that
his speech last week was one in
which the Montana Democrat
spoke only for himself, Senator
Javits said the speech is being
taken very seriously by the
West German and other gov
ernments because of Senator
Mansfield's position as admin
istration leader.
Differ on "Ultimatum"
United States experts, still
studying the text of Mr.. Khru-
shchev's remarks. were of diff
fering opinions as to whether
the Russian chief had served
an "ultimatum" on the Ger
man question.
1t was recalled that Mr..
Khrushchev once before set a
Six-month deadline on a Ger
man peace treaty without
going through with a separate
pact with East Germany. Also,
it remained to be seen how
far the Kremlin actually would
move 10 push the Western
allies out Of West Berlin if it
did conclude an East German
treaty,
Nevertheless. United States
authorities took Mr.. Khru-
shchev's comments on Ger
many with great seriousness.
Discussions we're under way
with Western allies on how to
