Big 3 Working Party talk of new approach to Russia on atom control

London, Apr. 26.-The tripartite Working Party preparing for next month's Big Three Foreign Ministers' conference met in plenary session today and was believed to have reviewed the ques- tion of a fresh approach to the Soviet Union on atomic control.

No conclusion on this issue can be reached by the Working Party and it was believed that the experts simply reported on the prevailing trend of official opinion in their respective capitals.
