Western deputies press for Big Four talks with Gromyko
Western deputy foreign ministers from the United States Britain and France prepared for a showdown with Andrei Gromyko over agenda proposals for a Big Four conference. If Moscow shows no willingness to adjust the agenda the West plans to push the talks to a close as they seek fresh instructions and a real effort toward a ministers meeting. The deputies enter their third week amid disputes on whether demilitarization of Germany and arms reduction should be separate items or linked to current tensions. The Western side argues their own forces are smaller and offers to discuss Gromyko's points only in relation to present tensions.
