was further agreed that repre- sentatives of the five Western

pare for a meeting of the full disarmament committee.

In their deliberations, the com- munique said, the Western coun- tries would take into account the views of the. NATO council and the- council would be kept fully informed.

The Canadian minister said Canada’s hope had been fulfilled by Monday’s meeting which also agreed that the United Nations should be informed of progress.

INSIST ON CONSULTATION

As a representative of medium powers, ‘Canada has been insist- ing that both the United Nations and smaller countries be kept constantly in touch with disarm- ament negotiations and that “adequate eon sultations’ be held.

The disarmament committee was established bythe great powers with parity between East and West — five members on each side. It received the bless- ing of the United Nations but wr separately from the world

ly.

Green has said repeatedly that a main Canadian objective is to get meetings under way as soon as possible on disarm a ment, which he considers the biggest

problem facing the world todag.

BY COMPANY

New Tren

WASHINGTON (AP) — Indus- try representatives agreed Mon- day to hold separate company- by-company bargaining in the deadlocked steel dispute.

The decision was greeted as a victory by the United. Steelwork- ers union, whose president, David J. McDonald, told reporters: “What the union has been want- ing right along has been agreed to.”

McDonald has argued that the industry’s top bargaining team, headed by R. Conrad Cooper, has lacked the power to make any, concessions and that talks with Cooper's group accordingly were hopeless.

NOT OPTIMISTIC ee Reporters buttonholed Cooper midway in Monday's negotiating session—the first in 10 days— and asked him whether there was any hope of early settlement. Cooper :

replied: “We live in hope, but I can't for
