By ASSOCIATED PRESSi
It has been a continuing objec-
tive of Western diplomats to pin
the Kremlin down on matters of
mutual concern, on differences and
the like, but there have been no
results to speak of. There is no
denying that the Russians are
quick on their feet . . perhaps
slipperly would be more appro-
priate.
They have a singular talent for
evasive tactics w hen I hey w ant
to evade. Some experts have
blamed this on the slave tempera-
ment. cn the notion that if the
other side agrees readily to a pro-
posal it has a great deal to gain
by doing so.
The men of the Kremlin have
wanted a summit meeting tor some
time. They have agitated for it
through their propaganda, and
they have dropped strong hints to
that effect through diplomatic
channels. Even worse, they have
tried to rally opposition parties in
the west to the proposition of a
summit parley.
The Western Three have now-
asked the Soviet Union to speed
tip diplomatic talks leading to a
summit meeting. They said in a
joint note that they want their
ambassadors in Moscow to meet in
a group with Soviet Foreign Minis-
ter Gromyko to make speedier
progress Gromyko has been meet-
ing the ambassadors separately
but has not yet talked with all
three at the same time.
Britain's foreign minister. Sel-
wyn Lloyd, assailed this procedure
in the House of Commons yester-
day as a waste of time. Other
western officials have expressed
puzzlement at the Soviet attitude.
Indeed, the joint note expressed
surprise at the Russian' insist-
ence on separate meetings in Mos-
cow with the three ambassadors.
The note said that nothing in the
Soviet message of April 11 agree-
ing to diplomatic exchanges led
the West to believe that Gromyko
had any other intention than joint
meetings.
As a result of this funny business,
the diplomatic stage of negotia-
tions toward a summit meeting
has not even gotten off the ground.
Neither the East nor the West has
reported any progress since Gro-
myko first met United States am-
bassador Llewellyn Thompson last
week.
The joint note of the Western
Three is polite but insistent. There
is an implication that if the So-
viet Union refuses to be more co-
operative the whole project of a
top-level East-West meeting may
be dropped.

Wet Backs' Pay
Problem Before
B I A I
WASHINGTON '/P—Labor De-
partment otticials and a 13-maii
advisory committee wind up a two-
day conference today on Mexican
farm labor problems.
Slated lor eariy consideration
were two subcommittee reports,
one rejecting a department propos-
al tor a tiat 50-cent minimum hour-
ly wage tor the Mexican laborers
who till U. S. iarm needs, and an-
other approving a department sug-
gestion tor deiermuung prevailing
wages.
lA-partinent officials said Mexi-
can laborers working on a piece-
work basis sometimes average
only about 25 to 3o cents an hour,
despite a general understanding
witn tne Mexican government that
the minimum wage would be SO
cents an hour.
j The subcommittee, while expres-
sing sympathy with the deparl-
■ ment's objective, said a flat mini-
j mum wage would remove the in-
I centive ciement in the piecework
pay plan in some types ot work.
The department said it also has
encountered uuticuities in arriv-
ing at a fair prevailing wage in
some areas because tuere is no
yardstick lor comparison.
The U. S. agreement with the
Mexican government provides that
Mexican laborers shall receive the
prevailing wage paid Americans in
the area tor the same kind ol work.
But in sovie areas, the Depart-
ment said, almost tne entire la-
bor lorce is composed of Mexicans,
causing ditticuliy in arriving at a
fair figure.
in sucn cases, the department
recommended the prevailing wage
be established at the level of tne
nearest non-Mexican dominated
area.
ihe committeemen and about
100 other U. S. employers of Mexi-
can laborers was scheduled to hear
afternoon report ot health pro-
grams being carried on at Mexican
labor recruiting centers in Cali-
fornia.

WASHINGTON i/fl—'This year's
wheat crop may turn out to be a
big headache for government farm
officials but it promises to become
a recession-time jobmaker.
The Agriculture Department says
the crop may turn out to be at
least 25 per cent larger than last
I year's production, and the fourth
iargest record. A crop of this size,
forecast at 1,190.000.000 bushels
compared with 947 million last
year, would add probably 200 mil-
lion bushels to the government's
surplus.
But It would require much more
labor and machinery to harvest
than was needed to get In the 1957
crop. It would require many more
trains and trucks to move it to
market and into warehouses than
did last year's production.
Officials said this would add up
to more work for custom harvest
crews, more jobs and truck drivers
and railroad workers, and more for
workers at market and storage cen-1
ten.
This year's wheat crop, like those
since 1954, is being grown in: It r
rigid controls and retirement el
some wheat land under the soil
bank program. But unusually i.iv-
orable weather and moisture sup-
plies, plus overplanting of .•illo'-
ments by some growes, is boost-
ing production this year fully 20
per cent above levels desired by
farm officials.
If the crop turns out as now-
indicated, there undoubtedly would
be a net movement of at least 200
million bushels into government
hands under price support at a cost
averaging around $1.80 per bu-hol
or a total of about 360 million dol-
lars.
The Agriculture Department has
announced that farmers will have
the right again this year to col-
lect their soil bank payments in
the form of surplus grains rather
than cash if they so desire.
Payments which may be redeem-
ed in commodities are these earn-
ed by underplanting allotments of
wheat, corn and rice.
Last year few farmers took ad-
vantage of the offer of surplus
commodities. Moat preferred the
cash..
