Krushchev proposes Berlin compromise and halt to tests
In an interview released by Tass, Krushchev said the Soviet Union would halt nuclear tests on January 1 if a UN backed resolution urged it. He floated replacing the NATO flag in West Berlin with the United Nations flag as a symbolic solution. Western observers insist on on site verification and refuse a general moratorium. Ulbricht urged subduing Berlin danger and a German peace treaty with West Berlin becoming neutral.
