Moscow suggesting - that the chiefs of state might consider a German peace treatyjrthout any recognition - of coaunist East Germany by the West German Republic. Which sounds - like a grudging concession. Molcow refusing, heretofore - to consider any dlacuaaion ot German reunificatton at a sUD111lt conference. In11iatlng - that the question must be settled by negotiations between West and East Germany, which the West Germans reject - retuslng to have anything to do with the Communist regime. ' So now we have - some sort of compromise that sounds ambiguous. Moscow proposing - that the two Germanies might sign a peace treaty - without recognizing each other, in a formal way. But each side - would name representatives to work out an agreement. collPBRENCE - G mMANY - 2 If all this seems unclear to you - its even less ~~ clear, to me~e kind of gimmick - whereby the German question could be brought up at a meeting of chiefs of state.

The Soviet note - having been delivered to Chancellor Adenauer, last night, during a meet . ing ot the West German parliament. Which Adenauer - addressed.

With a minimum - of preparation. ~ The State Department explaining, today - that the Billganirl message was mostly a repetition of previous Russian arguments. Meanwhile, on the same day, the State Department was handing the Soviets - a note of its own. Asking - do the Russians want a su111111t meeting that would be merely a spectacle? Little more - than diplomatic show business? Or, a top level conference - that wou l d mean something? Making clear - that there must be preparation, with some evidence that Moscow means business. TUNISIA In Tunisia - a soothing, conciliatory not~ _)l6unded - by President Bourguib~ Wtlo paid his compliment - to Britain / and the United States. Praising them - for their mediation efforts 1n the Tunisian quarrel with France. Only last week, Bourguiba had warned - that his Tunisian govemment might withdraw from the western orbit. Unless - backed by the west 1n the dispute with France. Naming a deadline - for the British and American mediators. The deadline - the second anniversary of ~Tunisian independence.

TREASURE In California - a treasure hunt, endin g in a disappointment • ~ ; ' \ -A1though - it sure started off with a fascinating clue. The story begins in Philadelphia - with a discovery made by Daniel Machon, a typewriter repair man, employed by .z. Western Union. Fixing an old machine - he removed ,Re ~ the roller of the typewriter that holds the paper. And inside ~" the roller, in the hollow space - what did he find? ,A treasure message- and a map~ The message reading: "Badly hurt. Knife wound severe. Fifty thousand dollars hid well." The note - then going on to say: "You take highway Ninety Nine -- eight miles from Fresno. _!_ocation on the -,ax map ~ ,afiows all that is nec'laaary." Signed - "Tonny J." With the date - February Ninth, Nineteen Twenty Nine. The map - a sketch. Indicating - that the treasure was buried near a gasoline station, close to a bend in the highway. TREASURE - 2 All of whlch information - was promptly sent along to California - to Fresno. Where - the treasure hunt began. The message and the map - gave precise direetion, Except - for one thing. The note - mentioning a point on Highway Ninety Nine, eight miles from Fresno. But - 1n which direction? The highway running - North and South. So first they tried - north, and eight miles troll Fresno - yes, indeed, a bend 1n the road. But - no gasoline stat1orv as shown on the • map. Furthermore, any such gasoline station - would have been 1n the middle of the Southem Pacific Railroad tracks, thirty years ago. Obviously, that couldn't be the place. So the treasure hunters then tried - south. Where they also drew - a Hank. No bend in the road at all" eight miles from Fresno, on Highway Ninety-Nine.
