Her ter’s Challenge
Rejected by Reds
GENEVA (IP)—Secretary of State Christian A. Herter
challenged the Soviet Union yesterday to enter serious ne
gotiations for concrete, self-enforcing agreements for Ep**)-
pean peace, but drew no encouragement from Andrei Gromy
ko.
The Soviet foreign minister rejected in advance the
West’s package plan for solution of the Berlin, Germany
unity and European security issues.
Gromyko called the package plan, due to be presented
in the Big Four foreign ministers conference Thursday, an
attempt “to muddle together various political problems in
to one tangle.” He declared such an approach would com-
♦•pletely block the work of the
o. 1 ■ conference.

imately 1,400 firemen expected

These men will represent 425

tion to Texas.
About 200 experienced instruc

tration will not be necessary ac

Herter got the conference
down to business as chairman
of the third day of a session
previously snarled by Soviet pro
cedural moves.
He announced the United States,
Britain and Fi’ance will introduce
proposals to ease tension “now
spoiling relations between the free
world and the Soviet Union.” He
promised U.S. participation in
summit talks, which Moscow has
been urging if the Soviets will
dicker here in earnest.
All four ministers finally pre
sented their opening speeches, de
layed by a dispute over Gromyko’s
efforts to seat Communist Poland
and Czechoslovakia as full nego
tiators in the conference.
Gromyko persisted yesterday but
got nowhere.
