Suspicions

London, Jan. 6. Communist diplomats today ominously sidestepped Britain's proposal for an East-Wast non-aggression pact and said Russia profórrod an early summit conference on "ending the cold war." The sources voiced instant suspicion of the pro- posal made by British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan on Saturday but watered down by the Foreign Office today.

The diplomats indicated that the Soviets want a summit parley on its pet projects — the cessa- tion of nuclear tests, the banning of the H-homb and the renunciation of force in the strategic Middle East.
