Mi koyan indicated last night the So- 1 viet Union is standing firm oni its demand for an end to four power rule of Berlin. He told this to newsmen after a more than two-hour review of [foreign policy problems with Vice President Richard Nixon. Asked if the Soviet Union has changed its position in any way on Berlin, he replied; “Why change it? One does not change a good position.” Mikoyan’s comments, made out side Nixon’s office in the Capitol, contrasted with hints he dropped earlier on a softening in the So viet’s position to turn East Ber lin over to its puppet East Ger man regime in May. The meeting between Mikoyan and Nixon was arranged at the former’s request The Soviet Em- ; bassy termed it a courtesy call by Mikoyan. \ Mikoyan broadly hinted Mon day at possible Soviet concessions to make any new deal over Berlin more acceptable to the Western Big Three countries. One of these was reported to be formal guar antees of free access to the city via mail, water and air routes.
