USSR- -Disarmament Conference: In Khrushchev's latest
round of letters on the disarmament conference he was care-
ful not to accept or reject the US-British proposals to hold a
Big Three foreign ministers' meeting prior to the conference
and to convene the conference at the foreign minister level.
Present indications are that Khrushchev will probably finally

German. control of the sector border is a pointed reminder
to the West, and particularly the United States, that the. con-
tinued lack of progress in East-West negotiations on Berlin
will result in a. separate peace treaty and turnover of Berlin
