Washington, May 27, — In the

Some provisions are highly secret.

foreigners, that is, who have per-

Powers have drafted a plan to
unify East and West Germany.
According to official sources, the
Western blueprint will be put be-
fore the Russians in a day or two.
The plan comes after the Soviet
proposal for an elected German
control board to run the country.
Meanwhile, the West is expect-
ed to continue to needle Soviet
delegate Vishinsky into defining
his terms for German unity. If
the Western diplomats fail to get
an answer from him, they are ex-
pected to spend the weekend re-
adjusting their counter offer of
German unity. So far, the West
has not rejected outright the Rus-
sian call for a return to four-pow-
er control and for an elected
German economic and administra-
tive council. But they have served
notice they want to turn manage-
ment of political and economic af-
fairs over to the Germans and to
keep supervision only of security
and foreign matters. The West
also wants Ruaaia to understand
ft cannot expect to get any more
reparations out of West German
or all-German current production.
It is believed that these de-
mands will be in the Wesftrn
blueprint. In addition, the West
is expected to offer the Russians
the chance to agree to the politi-
cal reunion of Germany •— on
Western terms.
In effect the West will say to
Vishinsky. . .
