EEC BRUSSELS (Reuters) -- Brit- ain today proposed a "package deal" to the European Common Market on tariffs to be imposed on important Commonwealth exports if Britain joins the trade group, informed sources said, Edward Heath, British chief negotiator, thus invited the Com- mon Market countries to clear up one of the major problems still outstanding in the 14- month negotiations on Britain's bid for membership in the trade group. The sources declined to give details immediately but said the package deal covered Britain's proposal for an abolition of the Common Market's external tar- iff on such big Commonwealth exports as aluminum newsprint, lead and zinc. Health's proposal came at a 30-minute meeting on the -third day of a crucial five-day. ses- sion of negotiations. The cur- rent session has been over- shadowed by French President de Gaulle's statement Monday expressing serious doubts about Britain's Common Market bid. Affirmations of support for the British case from France's ma- jor Common Market partners-- West Germany, Italy, The Neth- erlands and Belgium. Meanwhile, The Associated Press quoted delegation sources as saying the six in a private session reached agreement on newsprint -- one of the items Britain wants admitted to the Common Market duty-free. (The sources told the AP the ministers accepted a proposal from the Market executive that each member be allowed to im- port duty - free the amount needed for home consumption until Jan. 1, 1967. After that date there would be a global duty- free import quota for the whole U.K. Offers Dea. O T ' f f granted her also should be ex- tended to other Newsprint pro- ducers such as Canada.) PARIS (Reuters)--Jean Mon- net, the Frenchman often called "the father of the Common Mar- ket," today rejected President de Gaulle's new hard line: to- ward British membership in the European trade grouping. Adding his voice to a rising outery of protest from other Eu- ropean leaders over de Gaulle's remarks to a Monday press con- ference, Monnet told reporters: "Whatever Gen. de Gaulle has said, I think that the negotia- tions for Britain's entry into rapidly concluded,"' But de Gaulle himself re- his remarks, He was quoted as telling a cabinet meeting here ply stated the facts "that shocks everybody." Alain Payrefitte said de Gaulle also told his cabinet: 'There is ties should not appear, should be carefully hidden by appearances.

BERLIN -- Soviet Premier Khrushchev poured scorn on Communist . China's war-and- peace theories today, warned that communism would not win a quclear war and drew a dire picture of the vast destruction a world conflict would bring. Without naming China -- he used the usual device of con- demning its Albanian allies Khrushchev warned the Peking '|regime to mend its ways if it wants to stay in the Soviet camp. Speaking clearly in the con- text of his argument with Pe- king over the necessity of war for expansion, he | called the fight for peace "the 'prime task for socialism." WANTS FREE CITY In a major policy apeech to the sixth East German Commu- nist party congress in East Berlin, the Soviet premier also: 1.
