Mac Man
Seeks Pact
With Russia
LONDON, Jan. 5011—Prime;
Minister Macmillan's proposal
for a solemn pact of nonaggres-i
sion with Russia startled Eu-;
rope today and won some quiet'
approval, notably in West Ger-'
many and Italy.

land and Australia. Leaders were
awaiting the impact of the Brit
ish plan on the Commonwealth
countries.
But there was a general im
pression tha t t approving re
action in Europe and among
some NATO leaders would
counteract unfavorable impres
sions quickly voiced in the Unit
ed States.

events might be moving toward

.The first unofficial reaction was
mixed.
•The Soviet Communist party
newspaper Pravda said Macmil
lan had made "rude anti-Russian
attacks," Moscow radio reported.
This was comment on Macmil
lan's reference to subjugation of
Baltic states by the Soviet Union.
But Pravda noted with ap
proval that "the British govern
ment intends to continue to
seek an agreement with the
, Russians."
Scandinavian lands, in which
many leaders. strongly favor new
effortS to negotiate with Russia,
did not impress their views im
mediately.
The.moit favorable impression
seemed to have been made in
West Germany.
At Bonn, Chancellor Konrad
Adenauer said he had received a
good impression of Macmillan's
call for a nonaggression pact and
perhaps a summit meeting later.,
The Chancellor did not ex
pand his remarks, but at a re
ception at which he received
congratulations on his 82d birth
day he made what might have
been a significant gesture.
He went out of his, way to draw
Russian Ambassador Andrei Smir
nov aside _and chatted with him
privately for 10 minutes. U.S.
French and British envoys won

, There was speculation as to
whether Adenauer was indeed, as
_rumor had insisted, initiating a
new political approach to Russia.
