OBJECTIVES CLEAR No formal agenda was an- nounced for the Khrushchev-de Gaulle talks, but the Soviet pre- mier made his objectives clear Wednesday in three public state ments. Some Western sources in- terpreted his aims as: 1. To woo France from her new ties with West Germany and re- place - the Paris-Bonn alliance with a close French-Soviet under- standing. 2. To press for a German peace treaty on Soviet lines. 3. To hammer away for dis-| armament on Soviet terms. 4. To weaken the North Atlan- itic Treaty Organization and the | Western European Union, to both jof which West Germany belongs. FRENCH COOL What headway he may make] is highly problem a tical.

In polite but firm words he declared his belief that the Germans' '"'unabounded ambi- tion," which had twice menaced the Continent in this century, has disappeared. He also disagreed with the standard Soviet line that the West 'German government seeks revenge for the wartime defeat. This did not stop Khrushchev from replying with a reference to "the presence of the threat of a revenge" and of calling once more on the West to agree to a peace treaty with Germany, clearly on Soviet terms. And he repeated his bid for a French- Soviet alliance, first made in his arrival speech, with the words: "If our two countries want to collaborate in a field so import- § -aptured by Soviet forces. troops of each would occupy. 'Wide Changes In Municipal Act WASHINGTON REJECTS SOVIET BERLIN CLAIM ' Documents Back Allied Rights WASHINGTON (AP) The nited States today formally re- ected Russia's claim that Berlin part of Soviet-controlled East rermany. The state department produced iocuments in English and Rus- sian which it said "clearly indi- cate that Berlin was designated 18 a separate area to be jointly occupied." The documents were signed by Soviet, American and British rep- 'esentatives in London on Sept. 12, 1944--before Berlin had been Reporters were handed a photo- sraphic reproduction of the orig- inal English and Russian texts vhich spelled out the zones the The state depariment's action was an effort, in advance of East- West summit talks on Berlin's fu- ture, to nail down the Allied legal right to remain in West Berlin until a single peace treaty has been signed with all Germany. The state department aimed its words not only at Moscow but at representatives of the East Ger- many puppet regime who have been contending in recent months that Western troops are illegally in West Berlin. Soviet Premier Khrushchev has been hammering at this theme in public remarks, claiming it backs up his demand for converting West Berlin into a so-called free, demilitarized city. TORONTO (CP)--The govern- ment has introduced . sweeping amendments to the Ontario Mu- nicipal Act setting laws on sub- jects ranging from shopping malls to the amount a municipal- ity can spend entertaining "per- sons of distinction." A bill introdueed in the legis- lature by Municipal Affairs Min- ister Warrender also gives some municipalities the power to set up boards of control. The volumous bill will go to a committee the islature, proval of ment. Ottawa, first Canadian city to plan such a mall, had to seek separate legislation to allow for blocking of three blocks of down- town Sparks Street and turning it into a pedestrian shopping area. Another amendments permiis townships with a population of more than 45,000 to set up boards of control. Six Toronto area mu- nicipalities will be affected. The bill also gives municipal auditors the power to demand ac- cess to all council and board books and records and to take in- formation from officials under oath. Municipalities are "allowed to spend money on civil defence operations and to establish CD organizations. Another section covers the li- censing of trailers located outside trailre camps for 30 days or Under one of the main amend- ments municipalities would be given the authority to establish "pedestrian malls" with the ap- the transport depart longer. Trailer licence fees were boosted to $20 from $10 a month. Other amendments would: Remove the $2,500 limit fm posed on retirement allowanees payable to municipal employees with 20 years service.
