East Germany Pledges Talks On 9 Airmen BERLIN (AP) Communist East Germany held the door open Wednesday night for negotiations with the United States for the return of nine U.S.

Army men and their helicopter. The Communists promised a quick release of the men if the United States acted in "a normal and reasonable manner." U.S. officials in Berlin were waiting on: a go ahead signal from Washington after Secretary of State Dulles said Tuesday the United States would negotiate. Dulles said negotiations did not mean recognition of the Communist regime. The East German promise to release the men appeared in an editorial in the Communist party newspaper Neues Deutschland.

This carries the weight of an official pronouncement. But there was a possible hitch in the East German promise. It did not explain what it meant by acting in a normal and reasonable manner. The Russians said they were pleased by Dulles' comment. A Soviet Embassy spokesman appeared, unperturbed about the reservation on recognition.

The Russians took no notice at all of Dulles' remark that in a kidnaping you must deal with the kidnapers to get your people back. The helicopter landed in East Germany Saturday after getting lost in a thunderstorm and running out of gas. The official German Communewspaper conceded that the flight into East st Germany could have been an accident. "But." added Neues Deutschland, "violation of the air space of the (East) German Democratic Republic remains. the matter must be settled as is customary between civilized states.

Rep. Leslie S. Arends of Illinois.

who offered the compromise, said it acceptable to Eisenhower. Showdown voting is due Thursday with the compromise evidently facing an 1 uphill battle. Both versions of the bill would greatly increase the power of the secretary of defense and the Joint Chiefs of Staff over combat operations. Rep. Carl Vinson (D-Ga), chairman of the committee, launched debate on the controversial subject with a 40-minute denunciation of the three major changes urged by Eisenhower.

The issue. Vinson said, is congressional control over the armed forces. major compromise's point would provide that the heads of two armed services. rather than only one, could appeal to the Congress a decision of the secretary of defense abolishing or transferring a major service combat function. Both versions of the bill would permit the Congress to block any change in functions by a majority resolution passed by both Houses.

It would not be subject to a presidential veto. Under the compromise. the Congress would have to act within 45 days after a change is proposed rather than 60 days, as in the committee bill. Also, objecting service heads would have to certify that the proposed change would "seriously impair the national security." Another compromise provision would comply with Eisenhower's request for elimination of a section saying the secretary of defense shall control the individual services through the respective secretaries of the Army, Navy and Air Force. It would provide that each department be organized its own secretary under the direction, authority and control of the secretary of defense." But it also would provide that an assistant secretary of defense direct a department secretary "only mayo when specifically delegated such authority" by the secretary of defense.
