BERLIN (AP) — War over Berlin is unl A The stakes in the Berlin dispute are big. Premier Khrushthev may take risks. President Eisen- hower cannot afford to back off. But both sides dread an armed conflict. There is room for compromise. Only a disastrous diplomatic fumble or miscalculation could spark a third world’ war. This is the consensus of West- ern and “ommunist experts in this divided city as diplomats get set for a foreign ministers’ con- ference next week and a parley at*the summit.

To pressure the West into com- pliance, Khrushchev announced his intention to transfer to the East Germans Soviet controls over Allied supply lifelines. This also aimed at securing de facto Western recognition of the East German regime.

TWO MAIN STANDS

In meeting Khrushchev’s Ber- lin bid at the cohference table, Western powers have laid down two positions of no retreat.

First, they will protect the freedom of the 2,200,000 West Berliners.

Secondly, they will not yield any of their essential rights in West, Berlin under Soviet pres- sure: -

What, therefore, are the pros- pects for an acceptable com- promise with the Russians?

Most probable is a patchwork compromise that will avert the danger of war or another Berlin blockade — but would leave the seeds of a future crisis.

Such a compromise might shape up this way:

The Russians technically would end their occupation of East Ber- lin, something the Allies cannot prevent in any case.

From this, the East Germans would gain prestige. They would also get the power to close the East Berlin- border, thus sealing off West,.Berlin from contacts with the East German popula- tion.

On the lifelines to West Berlin, the’ Allies probably would look the other wy as East Germans took over the checkpoints from the Red Army and began stamp-|:
