Adenauer Sees
De Gau||e:: No
Full Accord

PARIS. Dec. 9 (AP).-Presi-
dent de Gaulle and Chancellor
Konrad Adenuaer failed in a
day-long effort today to attain
a Joint position on the issue of
East-West negotiations on Ber-
lin and Germany.
The French and West Ger
man statesmen emerged from
secret talks with a joint COM
munique which simply said they
held similar views on their OBJ
iectives in Berlin, and had
noted "the necessity Of main
tanning solidarity among the
Allied powers"
A West German spokesman
said later the Bonn government
still stands by Mr.. Adenauer's S
agreement with President Ken
Inedy that new negotiations
with the Soviet Union should
be initiated on the Berlin issue
II the Russians are reasonable.
Position Unchanged
A French spokesman said
talks left the French position
completely unchanged. Gen.
de Gaulle's attitude is that the
West should not initiate any
talk with Moscow now and that

troops to and from Berlin over
the super highway from West
Germany.
Should the land route to the
city be closed by the Reds and
the Western nations seek to re-
open it and keep it open by
force, such effort could call for
a major military operation.
Although Russia has been
rumbling threats of grave
dangers. United States Army
units have been moving without
trouble along the l10-mile au-
tobahn through Communist
East Germany during recent
days. The Reds have not defined
these serious consequences of
which they speak.
But obviously they have a
bagful of tricks for use If they
want to declare the highway
closed to Allied traffic.
The most obvious device, and
one used when they attempted
the Berlin blockade of 1948. is
to claim the highway needs re-
pairs. The agreement for ac-
cess to Berlin apparently in
cluded a provision that main
tenance of the highway would
be by Russia and East Germany.
Whether the United States
Army could send in crews to
repair the highway or replace
a destroyed bridge is question:
able.
The Reds also could invoke
any of a number of charges or
legal gimmicks in attempt to
close the highway to United
States traffic.
On occasions. they have
made claims that the auto
balm was being used to trans
port spies into and out of
Berlin. New and impossible
traffic regulations might be at
tempted. They might attempt
to close the highway to United
States military traffic on
trumped-up charges of black
market goods movements.
But the most expectable de-
vice would be to close the road
for claimed repairs or actually
to damage it by blowing up one
or more of the approximate 80
bridges along the autobahn.
Should negotiations on Ber-
lin fail and the Communists
again seek to seal off access,
the Western powers would have
to decide whether to try to ram
through a task force to reopen
the autobahn-and then keep
the route protected and open.
Just to protect the route
against Red attempts to force
its reclosing would require
something in the order of a
field army.
Estimates Of the size force
needed to guard the flanks of
the 110 miles Of highway run
as high as ten divisions OF
troops.
This presumably assumes
Evening star., 1961-12-10
INTERPRETIVE REPORT

that a corridor a dozen miles
or so wide would be maintained,
with Western troops holding
key positions along hills and
ridges overlooking the auto
balm.
At least five Soviet armored
and three infantry divisions are
stationed in areas close to and
in some cases flanking the auto
balm. One armored division is
based in the Stendal area, north
of the highway; two others are
believed to be in the Weimar-
Jena region to the south; two
others in the Potsdam district.
Two infantry divisions are de-
ployed even closer to the high
way.

eventual negotiations should
cover German and European
problems and not be restricted
to Berlin.
This means Gen. de Gaulle Is
standing firm on his policy
of alloofness. The whole ques-
tion of future Allied policy is
thus thrown into the laps of
the four Western foreign min
listers who meet here Monday
and Tuesday.
The persistent differences
between the French attitude
and the West German position
which roughly corresponds
with those of the United States
and Britain-was underlined In
the communique.
Omits Usual Phrase
One section, concerning Eu-
ropean unity. employed the
almost traditional phrase of
total unity of views" But the
section on the days discussion
of Berlin pointedly omitted the
phrase.
Asked If France and West
Germany now would go into
the ministerial sessions with a
common position, q French Of

have to wait and see. He hint

Savings Planned
In Housing Bonds
BY the Associated Press

To save storage space and
cut down paper shuffling, the
Government says it will issue
new housing authority bonds
in $4,000 rather than $1,000
denominations, starting next
year.
Mrs. Marie C. MCGUIRE,
Public Housing Administration
commissioner, estimated that
about $11 million may be
saved over the 40-year life of
the $3.5 billion in bonds that
the PHA has authority to
issue.
So far, she said yesterday,
PHA has sponsored the issu-
ance of 80 million pieces. The
new system means, she said,
100000 pieces will be handled
rather than 3.5 million.

Mason Firm
OnGivineUp
Illinois Seat

Representative Mason, Re-
publican of Illinois, reiterated
yesterday he will not seek re-
election next year.
The 81-year-old Congressman
had said 10 days ago he would
not seek reelection if the Illi-
nois Legislature agreed on
reapportionment of the States
congressional districts.
The Legislature this week
agreed to a plan for redistrict-
ing. reducing the congressional
districts from Is to "a as a
result of the 1860 census.
Il will not seek reelection, "
the Congressman said today. II
would have to be drafted pretty
strongly before I would change
my mind"
| Mr.. Mason, who is complet-
ing his 18th consecutive two
year term in the House, said
the Legislature put Kane
County into his district and
took Wills County out Of it.
Mr.. Mason said Kane is a
strongly Republican county and
Wills is Democratic.
Asked why he would not seek
reelection in a district he con-
sidered to be even more Re-
publican minded than in the
past, Mr.. Mason replied:
Il am past 80. I have put
in Is terms. Maybe I have
had my share. I Just want a
few years to myself"
If the Legislature had not
agreed on a reapportionment
plan, Illinois candidates for the
House would have been re-
CURED to run on a State wide
basis. Mr.. Mason had said that
in that event I'D have to run
again. A new man would have
no chance in an at-large cleo
ton"
