His statemcn similar ones last nigh of the Untied Stales and France. Asked if there was hope of an eventual agreement, Nulling re lied "if we all work in good ailh and above in private 1 iclieve we can al any rate narrow points of difference." But he varned thai further Russian enks would "make it very difficult to see how any progress can )e achieved." Reject Western Proposal.

The Soviets have turned down western proposal to cut the U.S., Russian and Red Chinese rmed forces to between one and ne and one-half million each, informants tay. This was one of the points nade last night by U.S. and rench delegates who outlined iclr versions of the month-long alks. They pledged to continue ic negotiations "cast aside the orrible threat of H-bomb war- are." The western vlewi were prc- ented after London, Paris and Vashington accused Soviet Depty Foreign Minister Andree A. romyko of violating conference ecrecy by leaking to the oviet newa agency a plan relented by him at the talks.

The three western poweri also larged that Tass in- ervlew misrepresented their potion and attempted to give the mpression that only Russia was ying to reach a disarmament gieement.

"The U.S.S.R. will not eay hat the figure would be for eir forces when they began ne-third cut and what they will afterwards," Wadsworth said This is a deceptively simple ut wholly fraudulent formula, is merely a 'pig in the poke' Describing the Gromyko inter- ew as "dishonest," Wadsworth "Mr. Gromyko gives the 1m- ession that it is only the Soet Union which has put for- ard proposals in this conferee.

New Session Threat Fails To Move GOP By KICHARl) P.

HUNT Albany (AP) Republican leaders today shrugged off Gov. Harriman's Ihrcat to convene a special session of Ihe Legislature lo plug for his program. Publicly, the chiefs of the GOP majorities in the Legislature made no comment on Ihe possi- Dility of a special session after regular 1955 is adjourned. Privately, highly placed Republicans said the lawmakers still would try to wind up their business adjourn by April 5. One said the GOP majorities would go ahead with their plans regardless of Harriman's objections.

Harriman said j'eslerdaj', in referring to the Legislature: "We're going to keep them there unlil we get the legislation done and the things thai counl for Ihe people of this slate." Charles Van Dcvander, the governor's press secretary, iaid, "the governor obviously was referring to his power to cull tho Legislature back into special session." Walter J. Mahoncy, majority leader of the Senate, had pointed out that Harrimsn had no power to keep the Legislature in session. However, Jlarriman con convene a special session. The governor had criticized the GOP majorities for failure to enact measures he has sought on rent control, benefits for the unemployed, and low-rent housing. He noted' that the state CIO had dubbed the current session a "do-nothing Legislature." Assembly Speaker Oswald D.

Heck relorled: "The transparent attempt of the Harriman-CIO combination to attach a 'ahel to thi Republican legislitur. will influence no one who or Is interested In finding out the truth." Heck claimed the GOP had taken steps to "humanize" the stale income tax law, advance; a The House rejected by almost 3-1 margin Monday fort to call up the 7.6 per cent 11 for postal workers on a take-or-leave-it basis. The House is to take an Easier ecess after next week. So no urther moves in the pay fight ppeared possible before at least id-April. The Senate, in passing the 10 per cent bills, ignored an explicit warning from Republican leaders that President Eisenhower would veto such an increase.

The cost of a 10 per cent raise would be about 220 million dollars annually for the poslal em- ployes, 500 million for the civil service workers. The key test in the Senate came on a move by Carlson to substitute, the 7.6 per cer.t postal pay bill'for the 10 per cent boost. Postal Bill Passed. This was rejected 52-41, and the postal bill then was passed 72-21. although some Republicans voting for it said they would not vote to override a veto.

The postal. employe unions, long considered one of the most potent lobbying forces on Capitol Hill, went all out for the bigger increase. They also objected strongly to a job reclassification pian included in the administration bill, but not in the 10 per cent measure, Once postal bill put through, the same raise for classified Civil Service employes was approved quickly on voice vote. The bill was made to apply as well to congressional, judicial and other federal employes outside the civil service program'. The Senate voted also to raise from 584,000 a year the maximum allowance to Congress members for hiring office workers.

DeFOREST IMPROVES Los Angeles (AP)--Friends of Dr. Lee DeForest said today the noted invcnlor is recuperating Brazil May Burn Coffee New York (AP) A Brazilian coffee exporter country may burn six to million bags of coffee this year to keep the price up. Abrahao Jabour said last night the 1954-55 crop in Brazil would produce a surplus of that many bags, each weighing 132 pounds. Brazil grows the bulk of the world's coffee.

He said the surplus will be withdrawn from the market--and may be burned--when the 195556 crop starts next July.

He said decrease in the Brazil price of coffee, now around 50 to 54 cents a pound, could ruin many producers. A year ago coffee prices reached an all-time high in the United Stales, where the best brands sold for $1.30 a pound or more. The price in Brazil at the time was about 93 cents a pound.

Brazilian officials these high prices were caused by frost damage to the 1053 crop.
