(By Tom needy) BERLIN. (AP)- Russia Sunday night to break off the Big Four foreign ministers con- ference in Berlin on Thursday rather than compromise on terms for granting independence to Aus- tria.

The West, through U. S. State Secretary Dulles, challenged Sov- iet Foreign Minister Molotov to sign an Austrian treaty by 3 p.m. Thursday (Berlin time) or else admit that further talk is use- less.

Dulles offered to accept the Russian version of the disputed articles in the Austrian treaty. Molotov accepted but only on con- dition that Soviet troops be per- mitted to remain in Austria until a German peace treaty is signed.

After many words on this topic and also a Soviet demand that the Big Four submit the Trieste problem to the United Nations Security Council before acting on

KINGSTON, Ont.. (OP) - Den national president of the Oanadian Postal Association. says recently - announced pay increases for post office employees are un-

In an interview Friday night. he called them "a few crumbs from our benevolent benefactor, our employer.” f

Mr. Cross said many post of- fices across the country will not be on such a basis.

The Pontiff told the sick they are "precious jewels" of the church and a. "valid source of spiritual energies." He aaid' he was thankful that modern tech nlqucs made it possible for him to speak directly to many of them.
