WASHINGTON, Sept 17 I- High
ranking diplomats of the United
States, Britain, France and West
Germany are gathering here 'his
weekend to decide what pressures
and inducements the West can use
in an effort to get Russia to agree
to German unification on Westera
terms.
American officials see no chance
of any quick progress in getting
Russia to change its position. They
are convinced more than ever, on
the basis of reports from the So-
viet-German talks at Moscow a
week ago, that the Russian govern-
ment is determined to black a uni-
fied Germany allied with the West.

Apparently, there's more to a
name than one would imagine.
"Name calling” blasted its way
into the news spotlight in earnest
this week in the Record-Chronicle's
poll of what Denton County people
would like to call Garza-Litte Elm
Reservoir. The paper received 132
suggestions.
Not all of the suggestions were
different, however. Lake Dallas
residents voiced a strong bid for
the name "Lake* Dallas” with 94
suggestion ballots. 44 of which pore

to the East German Communist
government and not to West Ger-
man Chancellor Konrad Adenauer.
This was made plain at a.news
conference tonight by East Ger-
man Dep. Premier Otto Nuschke,
who told reporters:
"We East Germans started ne-
gotiating with Soviet authorities
about these prisoners as far bacK
as 1948, and since then aave
achieved the release of 18,000 pris-
oners. We did it long ago. Aden-
auer did nothing. The German
Democratic R e pub l ic did tne
spadework and what Premier Bul-
ganin promised Adenauer about Lie
release of more prisoners was only
the result of our work."
Nothing was said about the num-
ber of prisoners. The West Ger-
mans claim there are tens of thou-
sands; the Russians put the fig-
ure last week at 9,626.

Mitchell said at the hospital that
he was driving east on Texas
Highway 191 when he saw the 1949
Ford, driven by Mrs. Grantham,
as it crossed highway 191 from
loop 87 and into the path of his
1955 Chevrolet. Mitchell said he
was driving about 55 mph before
the collision.
The accident was investigated
by Texas Highway Patrolman Fe-
lix Webster, and Lewisville Mar-
shall Harold Tanner.
Webster said that Mitchell’s cur
left tire marks of 150 feet from
the point where he applied, his
brakes, and added that the 1953
Chevrolet skidded 75 feet with lock-
ed brakes. The impact of the two
cars threw the Ford over 80 feet
from the point of collision.
It was only around a year ago
that Mrs. Grantham's husband was
killed by an automobile while he
was walking on the highway near
Lewisville.
Two ambulances, one from Car-
rollton, and one from Lewisville,
brought Mrs. Grantham and the
injured to Flow.
Mrs. Grantham was alone in her
car. There were six people in the
car driven by Mitchell. Mrs. Mel-
valene Plattner, Fort Worth, and
her three children, six, seven and
nine years old, were in the car
with Mitchell, his wife and his
baby. Mrs. Plattner and her three
children were not injured.
