March 1, 1882 AP Wire Service LOCK HAVEN, MONDAY, JUNE 15, 1959 12 Pages Seven Cents Soviet Pressed for Action in Berlin Crisis Quick End Seen Unless Gromyko Has New Ideas GENEVA (AP) The West warned the Soviet Union today, with the Big Four conference entering its sixth week, that the time has come for decisive action on the crucial issue of Berlin.

Some Western diplomats Renovo Crash Hurts 3 Youths the conference will end this week unless the Soviet Union does some retreating. British Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd, returning here from weekend consulations in London, declared the Geneva negotiations cannot go on indefinitely. He ex pressed some hope that an understanding on Berlin might yet be reached, but left no doubt that in his view the talks here have reached the point of action. Strategy U.S. Secretary of State Chris tian A.

Herter conferred with French B'oreign Minister Maurice Couve de Murville in midday and they arranged to meet Lloyd in a strategy session aimed at main taining the Western solid front in dealing with Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyjo. U.S. officials said bhat if Gromyko came up with no new ideas today, the Western powers would expect the talks to go on for probably two more meetings.

Foreign Secretary Lloyd of Britain was reported to be far more interested in continuing negotiations than are U.S. Sec retary of State Herter and French Foreign Minister Couve de Mur ville. Opening the sixth week of the conference, the Big Four were to meet in secret session at Couve de Murville's villa this afternoon At the last meeting Friday Gromyko said his one-year dead line proposal was not an ultima turn. But he called for agreement on a summit conference even il there is no accord on Berlin.

The possibility of a compromise seemed to depend on whether the Soviet government would shelve its threat to hand over control the Berlin supply lines to East Germany while prolonged negotia tions over Germany and relatec European issues take place. The Western powers in retun could be expected to agree to trim the size of their garrison in West Berlin, to curtail propaganda and spy activities from there against the Communist bloc, and to agree to a ban on nuclear weapons in Berlin.
