TRUMAN REITERATES POSITION ON BERLIN

No Negotiation Until The Soviet Lifts Blockade

STALIN MEETING NOT PLANNED

London, November 16.

President Truman stated flatly today that the United States would not resume four-power talks on the German crisis, until the Soviets lifted their blockade of Berlin.

The President told a press conference at Key West, Florida, that he had no.

plans for a meeting with Premier Stalin.

He would not leave Washington for such a conference but that his invitation

to Mr. Stalin to visit Washington still stood.
