Berlin Talks Stalemate Threatens Big Four Meeting
Western and Russian representatives failed to settle a site dispute for the Big Four foreign ministers meeting in Berlin. After 11 hours of talks among four commanders, Western leaders insisted on holding most ministers sessions in the Allied Control Authority building in the U S sector, while the Russians pressed for a different site. The deadlock casts doubt on the January 25 opening and raises questions about whether the conference will occur at all. Emperor Haile Selassie to visit Washington in May and then tour the United States was announced by the White House.
