He said he hadn't eaten since iurisdiction of the Methodist This attitude in turn injected a note of futility into State Department study of West German proposals for negotiation of the supply-line-control problem between the Western powers and Russia. U.S. officials seemed confident that a compromise between American and German proposals could be worked out. But they said that, if the Soviet government continues to insist on a package deal providing for withdrawal of Western forces as well as access arrangements, any accord with Germany will be more or less meaningless.

This was the fourth session between Rusk and Dobrynin and one of their longest talks. Dobrynin went into Rusk's office at 10 o'clock and emerged an hour and 50 minutes later. The State Department said the discussions "were in broad general outline and covered many aspects of the problem of Germany and Berlin." SAME POSITIONS i The two men and their advisers, Press Officer Lincoln White continued, "reviewed their previous exchanges, and the discussions reflected the well-known positions of each side." White thus acknowledged the failure to make any progress whatever in opening up possibilities of serious East-West negotia-tions on Berlin. He did say, however, that, while no date has been set for another meeting, the talks will continue. Dobrynin, a big, affable man, told reporters that the discussion had covered "the German problem and all questions relating the "He (young Smith) was petri church got underway here Tues Either by legislative action or party rule, the Loyalist hope to date for governor had ever polled so many votes in a losing cause as did he on Tuesday.

Boykin, but the smile Wednesday wasn't quite as wide, the handshake as firm, nor the voice as booming. After 27 years in Washington, the wealthy 77-year-old congressman was retired to private life Tuesday. And despite the smile, it was apparent that Boykin, whose slogan has been "Everything is made for love," was hurt. But the dean of Alabama's congressional delegation remained philosophical about the loss of his place in the U.S. House of Representatives as a result of the low-man-out statewide primary.

"While I regret, for the sake of the people of this district, that our efforts were not successful, I accept the decision that has been made by the voters of Alabama," he said. "Although it will not be my privilege to serve this next term in Congress, the best interests of my district and of my state will always be closest to my heart." What is he going to do? "I'm going to work like the dickens during the next seven months," he said. "I'm going to spend my time trying to get everything I can for this great state I'm going to work on everything. You know, I work seven days a week while I'm in Washington." What happened Tuesday? It's just a trend. People are badly upset everywhere.
