Observers here believed a Western reply should be ready by the time President Eisenhower meets wita touring Soviet Deputy Premier Anastas Mikoyan in Washington later this week. A preliminary study of the Soviet "offers" on the Berlin crisis and the proposal for a German peace treaty conference, however, Inspired little hope in diplomatic quarters so far. But the West appeared ready to screen the Soviet notes carefully for the slightest indication of any Moscow willingness to review its ultimatum demanding that the West get out of Berlin and turn it into a demilitarized "free city." ATTITUDE FIKM Observers in Moscow said today the Soviet notes contained no retreat on Germany and no backing away from Russia's announced intention to turn over its West Berlin lifelines to the East Germans June 1. Extreme pessimism was caused in West German official circles by the Berlin note, as well as by the Soviet proposal for a 30-nation conference to discuss a German treaty for reunification of that split nation. The Soviets said Red China should be one of the wartime "allied and associated powers" to take part in such talks.

Diplomatic sources here said three major conclusions had emerged thus far from a first examination of the Soviet notes delivered yesterday to the United States, Britain and France: Russia standi firmly behind a policy of maintaining a divided Germany, unless East and West Germany "confederate," with one half remaining capitalist and the other Communist The Russians insist on com-plete neutralization of Germany, withdrawal of Western forces and abandonment of Western bases in other words, U. S. withdrawal from Europe. Moscow stands by Its demands for turning West Berlin Bunting-draped, the carrier S. S.

Twenty-nine passengers and seven crew members perished. Three crew members escaped but with severe Injuries. They were the only survivors. The wingtip of the four-engined plane struck the mud as the American pilot tried to line up for a landing. The pilot, Capt.

Wren McMains of Stamford, died at the controls. The co-pllot, Karl Frank, was blown clear. Stewardess Hilda Dehler and a steward staggered out badly injured. "We could see passengers at the windows banging for help and screaming as they tried to get out," fishermen at the scene reported. The plane crashed In the rain about two miles from the airport.

Rescuers had to go a roundabout way, by muddy side roads, to reach the marshy spot. By the time they got there, nothing was left but ashes and wTeckage, strewn over a wide area. The three survivors were given emergency treatment at the scene, then taken to a hospital in Rio. This was the German airline's first fatal crash since it began postwar operations in April, 1955.

"There wm another house four feet away. And there were not many door and window in the Bradshanr borne, so It a hard for us to attack the heart of the blaie." The Lincoln Heights community has had a fire department since 1937, the Chief said. "At that time we had one truck."

As part of this drive, it wa disclosed today, Mr.

Eisenhower plans a series of television-radio appeals on such key issues as the cost of living, adequacy of space and defense programs, and similar controversies. James C. Hagerty, White House press secretary, said last week that Mr. Eisenhower would seek public support for his program in every way possible. Mr.

Hagerty said it was possible that television might be employed although no decision on this point had been made. NIXON DEMURS Mr. Nixon, regarded by many now. as a front runner for the 1960 Republican presidential nomination, was reported to have rejected proposals of some boosters that he step In and try to take over a revitalizing of the GOP after its sharp setback in the November elections. Instead, Mr.

Nixon and ail Elsenhower Cabinet members have agreed to slug it out down the line for the President's balanced budget and for other proposals expected to get a rough going over In the Democratic Congress. The exact pattern of the Elsenhower fireside talks with the nation are to be worked out later. The present format calls for 15-minute homespun talks over the networks as key issues move along in Congress. The President has told his top associates that he will conduct the most energetic and vigorous fight for his program since he entered the White House. Previously Mr.

Eisenhower could count on support of half or nearly half of the votes in Congress. Vast Democratic sweeps in both the House and Senate, associates Said, now force him to go beyond informal White House conferences with key congressional leaders. Meanwhile Mr. Nixon and the Cabinet were reported planning to work closely with the White House so that one team member will not be protesting his funds or programs as inadequate while others are calling for acceptance of budget reductions. Mr.

Nixon has told associates he took no direct part in the recent intra-party battles among Republicans in the House and Senate over their leadership. However, he has urged that the party should encourage younger and active candidates to seek seats In Congress, gov-ernonhlps and state legislatures.

"We get nose and throat swabs from them every day and periodic blood samples.

From these, we are able to make some determination of what types of viruses this ship is carrying." The next phase of the experiment develops after the ship goes to Wilkes Station to pick up a party being returned home from the Antarctic. "If these people cooperate, Goldsmith said, "we will take nose and throat swabs from them and get blood samples to find out what antibodies they have in their blood. Then we hope they will catch cold!" If some do, It may be found that they have picked up a virus and that it is the same virus detected a few weeks ear- McMURDO SOUND. Antarctica, Jan. 11 IT) In a land of uncommon cold, doctors are trying to untangle some of the mystery of the common cold.

They don't expect to have the problem licked by next week. But they do hope their work will give man a few new clues in his anxious pursuit of a solution to one of life's most baffling annoyances. Dr. R. Goldsmith of Ihe Medical Research Council in London boarded the icebreaker Staten Island at Seattle in October and has been using it as a field headquarters for Operation Snuffles ever since.

A ship was picked for a laboratory because of its isolation. "We've got 50 volunteers skull masks. Officers questioned the men picked up identified themselves as former Hungarian freedom fighters. A man with a supply of signs never got to display them. Police stopped him as he drove Into the airport with his family.

Officers confiscated the placards. Some of the signs read: "Go home Mikoyan." "Have a nice trip to the moon." "Did you keep just one agreement?" Mikoyan's departure from San Francisco, at 2:45 p. m. PST was in quiet calling outburst of 200 anti-Communists which marked his arrival yesterday there from Chicago. Mr.

Brown was the first Governor to meet with Mr. Mikoyan on his trade promotion tour. He told Mr. Mikoyan the airport demonstration was "not typically Californlan" and that he regretted it very much. He said "California welcomes people from all over the world." The Governor extended an invitation to Mr.

Mikoyan to come back to California for the winter Olympics in 1960. Mr. Mikoyan invited Governor Brown to visit the Soviet Union. Mr. Brown said he would like to do that.

They posed together before the California flag while Mr. Mikoyan joked about the California bear, saying the emblem looks "mean" in comparison with the Russian bear a national symbol. According to Mr. Mikoyan. the Russian version looks more friendly.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 11 UP) An airliner bringing Anastas Mikoyan from San Francisco landed at nearby Burbank today after fog kept It from a scheduled landing at International Airport There were no pickets at Burbank and there was not demonstration. A crowd of 1500 was waiting at the Los Angeles field, 20 miles away. The Russian leader was hurried to the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, where a group of bystanders applauded as he entered the front door. It was the most gracious spontaneous reception yet given Mr.

Mikoyan in his U. S. visit A large force of Los Augeles police guarded him. Police Chief William Farkcr said, "Threats against Mikoyan have been received." He added, "There will be no demonstration In the vicinity of this party while it is In Los Angeles." The Soviet First Deputy Premier flew here after a 22-hour San Francisco visit which began with an egg-throwing demonstration and ended with a Governor's apology. California Gov.

Edmund G. Brown apologized for yesterday's demonstration by Iron Curtain country refugees, mostly Hungarians. A crowd of several hundred had gathered in front of the Los Angeles Airport Administration Building. High fences and a polics guard made it Impossible for any of them to enter the landing are. Detectives, threading through the crowd, picked up half a dozen would-be demonstrators.

Federal Bureau of Investigation agents also put Layman In a police lineup to determine if he was connected with the reported kidnaping Friday of Miss Marcia Toms, 20, 6555 Handasyde Hyde Park. Officers would not nay If she made an Identification. Miss Toms told police on Saturday that she had been kidnaped by a man on Columbia Parkway and forced at gun point to drive him In her car to Georgetown, Ky. The FBI put a holder on Layman last night to determine if a truck he had in his possession in Southgate was stolen in interstate commerce.

The agents declined to comment on the reported kidnaping in regard to Layman, He is held on $1000 bond. lier in a member of the ship's crew. It then would be established. Dr. Goldsmith said, that this particular virus definitely causes this particular disease.

The Wilkes party should make a good test group, the doctor believes, because it has been in complete Isolation for a year or so. After a party has been Isolated like this, he said, it doesn't catch colds. Those who have colds at the outset spread them around for a while, but in time these die out. "I have never heard a story yet about a group of isolated people getting a batch of colds for no reason," Dr. Goldsmith said.

'The party at the South Pole, for example, had no colds, but then suddenly got a rash of them after planes came in with new people." So if members of the Wilkes party caught cold, it would very likely be from something they picked up after boarding the Staten Island rather than from a virus they brought with them. Hundreds of nose, throat and blood samples taken by Drs. Goldsmith and W. J. L.

Sliten of Johns Hopkins are being stored in a freezer aboard the ship. The samples will be analyzed in fully equipped laboratories after, the Staten Islund returns to the States. The doctors are taking samples of bacteria as well as viruses. "Some colds are caused by bacteria, too," Dr. Goldsmith said.

"People always have bacteria, but they apparently don't tend to swap with other people (as they do in the case of viruses). They keep the same bacteria all the time." The big problem with colds today, Dr. Goldsmith said, is that very few can be explained by known agents. "We have a pretty good idea that the classical cold is caused by viruses, but we don't know what they are. Most people agree it's not one virus that causes colds but many different viruses.

Mr. Nixon has sat In on meetings of the National Security Council, the nation's top strategy group, and talked with others Involved in the space program. The House Committee said it had questioned top scientists, rocket engineers, military leaders and other experts.

The Vice President's opinion is that the United States now IS ahead of the Soviets in ballistic missiles like the atomic-punch Intercontinental Atlas missile, which last fall soared 6325 miles on a test course. As for the power of rocket engines and putting satellites Into orbit, Mr. Nixon admits the Russians are ahead. But he believes the United States Is speedily overtaking them in this field. WASHINGTON, Jan.

11 Vice President Nixon contends that the United States is ahead of Russia in developing military missiles and is catching up fast in other phases of the space race, Mr. Nixon's views, relayed to newsmen informally, apparently challenge the main themes advanced yesterday by a special House Space Committee. The committee was headed by Rep. John W. McCormack House Democratic Leader.

No dissent to its findings was raised by Republican members, who Included Rep. Joseph W.
