A Unique Ceremony
RE Airborne Squadron Honoured By The King
A unique ceremony was carried out at Malta Barracks, Aldershot, on March 29 when a scroll was presented on behalf of the King to the 9th Independent Airborne Squadron, Royal Engineers. The Squadron has no colours and so, probably for the first time in the history of the Army, battle honours were perpetuated in this form.
The

The Foreign Ministers' deputies today entered the sixth week of theirject of nationalisation of search for an agreed agenda for “Big Four" talks with a three-hour meet- ing described by a Western delegate as "sterile."
The session was the 26th. The Western delegate summed it up as
a "bad day," saying that no progress had been made. With neither side putting forward new pro- posals, today's discussions centred again on the question of the reduction of armaments.
The French deputy, M. Ale- xandro Parodi, said that. tho ́ngenda should be drawn up in
a logical order. The delegation did not cept this Idea,

M. Parodi repeated the Wes- tern viewpoint that it was far more logical to discuss first level of armaments and then tackle the question of a rectue tion.
When his turn came Mr Andrei Gromyka (Russia) spoke at great length.
"A Great deal of his speech was propaganda," one Western spokesman said.
