Talks Between Russians, Germans Stalled
But Hope
.id.
High For
Success
MOSCOW—Reuters —The
leaders of Russia and West
Germany remained in ap-.
parent   deadlock   on   most
major   questions   at   their
third meeting Monday but
wound up with expressions;
of optimism    and frien<il\ ]
jokes at an evening banquet.
The banquet brought a statement
of confidence from Soviet Premier
Nikolai Bulganin that "all will go
well" in the Russian-West German
negotiations. West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer said he
was sure his journey to Moscow
was "not in vain." ■
The gala delegation banquet was
marked by friendly handclasps and
running banter, and Communist
party secrclary Nikita Khrushchev
repeatedly breaking in with wise-
crack 5.
NO AGREEMENT
Sessions of thc lop leaders and
their foreign ministers during the
day brought no sign of agreement
on the overriding questions of German reunification and the establishment of diplomatic and other
relations between Russia and West
Germany.
Same sources said there were
doubts even whether a formula
could be devised for continuing
contacts between the Soviet Union
and West Germany.
Adenauer Monday night made a
Kir prise proposal to Bulganin for a
private meeting with him before
lhe beginning of this morning's
plenary session.
Sources close to' the German
delegation said Bulganin did not
immediately accept the invitation
but there was general confidence
thc meeting would take place.
A morning meeting between
Russian Foreign Minister V y aches-
lav Molotov and West German
Foreign Minister Heinrich von
Brentano preceded the third full
meeting of Adenauer, Bulganin and
their associates in the afternoon.
rROGRESS ON PRISONERS
Unofficial West German sources
said that the Soviet negotiators
suggested thc possibility of forming
a commission of East and West
German representatives under' a
■Soviet chairman to examine the
question of nearly 10,000 Germans
hold in Russia for "war crimes."
These sources said the West Germans had agreed in principle to'sit
on a commission with tbe East
Hermans—as this was a humanlt*
*rian anil not a political question.
Thc reports ol a suggested East*
West German  commission .on
prisoners, If confirmed, would indicate n loo5ptting of thc impasse
reached on this question during thc
weekend when Russia refused to
discuss thc question of Germans
held in Russia without East German representatives being present.
Adenauer refused to confer on
Ihis condition and to-recognize the
East German government as representing the East German people.

PRODDING GOVERNMENT
Thc ILA move in the U.S. was
intended to prod the federal government into stepping in. In Washington, officials said they had no
immediate plans to enter the case.
However, they added,, a general
strike could lead to intervention.
The $l,000,00}-dollar-a-day strike
of 30,000 New York longshoremen
had begun to falter when ILA

OPPOSED TO
NATIONAL HEALTH
INSURANCE SCHEME
Doctors Not To
Be "Regimented"
"Patient Would Be The Loser*
Speaking at the annual dinner of the Newfoundland l
Medical Association, now in* convention in St. John's,',
Dr. F. G; Martin, Parliamentary Assistant to Health .
Minister Martin, said that the Canadian Government
.is opposed to any national health insurance plan which *
would regiment the medical profession.
Dr. Robertson was guest speaker at the banquet^
which followed the first day's session of the Conven- .
tion held in the Newfoundland "Hotel ..Dr. C. T.
Routley, President of the Canadian Medical Association, also addressed the meeting.
Dr.   Robertson   said   that   any'
change, in  the traditional doclor-
patient  relationship would lessen
the doctor's effectiveness and the
patient would be the loser.
He did not refer specifically to
lhe proposed health insurance plan
but said:
"There must be some solution
within cur power t'"f. will bring
together doctors and those who
need tlieir care without lowering
the quality of medical practice or
regimenting the members of our
profossion, You may be sure that
in such a great and worthy endeavor the federal government
stands  ready  to  assist in  every
possible way."
Dr Robertson said as a doctor
he U conscious that the medical
profession is anxious to see that
nothing in the evolution of society
comes between doctors and care
of their patients.

•'We do not want to see any

to the financial barrier resulting
from the increasing inability of
many families to afford the health
care they urgently require.".
The barrier often was overcome
by physicians donating their services. However, there were many
Canadians who required health
care but were reluctant to seek it
because of lack of money.

would feel that it is consonant
with human dignity to have to

bomb, "The explosions will noL exceed a few tens of kilolons in
yield," it said. An H-bomb would
touch off a blast of at least one
thousand kilolons.
Britain announced earlier this
year she has ihe "know-how" to
make an H-bomb, but so far there
has been no indication when one
would be tested.
The ministry of supply said there
would be two separate series of
tests next year.
The first, at Monte Bello in
April, would set off explosions of
"a similar magnitude" to Britain's
first atom homb test on the same
site in 1952.   '

In that Wast, nearly 1*1 square
miles were devastated and thousands of tons of mud were hurled
from the bottom of Uic sea. A

Other ships will be used in the
new explosions, the admiralty said.
