Persons in close touch with the negotiations between Malik and Dr. Philip C.

Jessup Tells British, French.

After their two meetings this week, Dr. Jessup immediately reported the conversations to Sir Alexander Cadogan and Jean Chauvel, the British and French representatives to the United Nations, but he is understood to have insisted to Malik that the two other ambassadors should take part in subsequent discussions. Malik explained his preference for the procedure followed until now on the ground that this would save time. Some delegates 'recalled, however, that Prime Minister Stalin, in the interview with International News Service in February which led to the present talks, suggested that the Soviet Union and the United States should settle the Berlin dispute themselves. Why the Soviet Union hopes to persuade the United States to agree upon these preliminary steps without the direct participation of Britain and France is unknown, but the two other delegations are highly pleased with the way Dr.

Jessup insisted upon their participation. Wouldn't Discuss Agenda. Dr. Jessup is understood to agree with the viewpoint of the British and Foreign delegates that the agenda and date of the council of Foreign Ministers should be decided at a meeting of the Big Four representatives as soon as possible.

New York loyalty paraders, 182,000 strong, led by Secretary of Labor Maurice Tobin, Francis Cardinal Spellman, and James A. Farley, yesterday stepped down gilded Fifth Avenue on the stretch adjacent to Central Park.

On the West Side of Manhattan, about 100,000 leftists marched down Eighth Avenue in a "May Day" parade, one of whose themes was a demand for "a peace pact with the Soviet Union instead of the Atlantic war alliance." This parade wound up in Union Square with the participants tak ing a pledge which included: "We declare our loyalty to our nation, to our people, and to our great democratic institutions.

Washington, April 30. John L. Lewis, mild and polite, today sgreed to hold separate contract talks with the Southern coal operators and let the press and public in.

In the past, reporters have attended Ihe opening sessions of coal negotiations but weren't mitted to the real bargaining. Lewis told the operators he accepted "yoiir wish, publicized in the press" that the conferences be open. There wasn't a harsh or defiant word in the letter he wrote to Joseph E. Moody, president of the Southern Coal Producers' Association. This is the same group Lewis refused to meet last year until forced to do so by a Taft-Hartley injunction.

Bargaining Begins June 6. Lewis suggested today that the bargaining begin on June 6 in Bluefield, Va. That late date may not entirely please the Southern group, which split off from Northern and Western operators last week and asked the United Mine Workers president for separate talks beginning "promptly." Moody had only this to say: We are considering Mr. Lewis' letter very carefully. We will answer it promptly, perhaps the early part of next week.

The present contract, which covers soft-coal mines in other sections as well as the South, will expire June 30. No date has been set for bar gaining between the union and the Northern and western operators. In fact nothing has been formally said about it. But one side or the other is likely to file a formal notice Monday, for Monday is exactly 60 Jays before the contract expires. Eyes Are On Congress.

The Taft-Hartley Act prohibits the ending of contract terms without a notice to the other party 60 days in advance. Moody filed such a notice on Lewis April 21. And Lewis today called this a "proper notice." Lewis told Moody the June 6 date "will allow four weeks for conferences, which should be ample." Most labor-management ne gotiations these days are being conducted with one eye on Congress. The coal situation is no exception.

The United States charged that human rights were violated, but the American delegation decided the best course now is to take it up under the peace treaties with Hungary and Bulgaria. Andrei A.

"It is the hounding of men for their political opinions that is the basis of our complaint against the Hungarian and -Bulgarian Governments," Cadogan said.

"There is evidence." he said, "that the Hungarian Government prejudged the case before brought Cardinal Mindszenty to trial and more or less announced beforehand that he would be punished."
