HIGHTOWER Of the Associated Preii . WASHINGTON U.S. officials expressed hope Thursday that periodic high level talks with the ones now under way here, will lead eventually to a break through in improving East-West relations. Major Kennedy administra tion hopes at the moment still center on the possibility of get ting an American-British agree ment with the Soviet Union for a nuclear weapons test ban. This is due in part to the belief that the widening split between the Soviet Union and Red China may Influence Soviet nuclear test policy. White House Talks President Kennedy spent an hour at the White House late Wednesday with Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Vasily V. Kuz netsov, who is scheduled to re turn to Moscow in a few days. Kuznetsov met with Secretary of State Dean Rusk Thursday and then lunched with Rusk and other foreign policy officials at the State Department. Kuznetsov will have luncn Friday with William C. Foster, director of the U.S. disarmament agency. On leaving the White House Kuznetsov said only that he came from New York to Wash ington at the President's invita tion and that Kennedy and he had discussed "some problems of mutual Interest." Cordial Atmosphere White House Press Secretary Pierre Salinger said the two men and their aides met "in a very cordial atmospnere ana reviewed the recent negotiations on the Cuban crisis which had been conducted In New York. U.S. officials said specific subjects touched on by Kennedy or Kuznetsov included disarma ment and Berlin. It was report ed that Kuznetsov brought up the Berlin question, but for what purpose was not disclosed. Kuznetsov was invited to see the President and Rusk, it is understood, primarily because U.S. leaders appreciated the dip lomatic manner in which he had handled the Cuban negotiations. Deeper Purpose The deeper purpose of the dis cussions here is to try to find some basis for clearing up out standing problems troubling East-West relations. So far as Cuba is concerned Kennedy Is known to be deter mined to do all he can to get the Soviet Union to withdraw an estimated 17,000 military personnel. On the Soviet side there is known to be disappointment at Kennedys refusal to give the United Nations a formal no- Invasion pledge. Kennedy's po sition Is that this Is not possible In view of Soviet Premier Khru shchev's failure to make good on his promise of Inspection in Cuba of the removal of Soviet rockets and bombers.

Clerks OK Contract SALEM IUPD Local 002 of the Retail Clerks Union has an nounced agreement on a new two-year contract for retail bak ery salesmen in the Salem-Cor-vallis-Albany area. Union secre tary Don Ilattcbcrg said the contract calls for a 15ent per hour increase over the two years, bringing the journeyman rate to $1.50. By ROGER LANE Of the AnocUted Pteie NEW YORK Because of the East Coast dock strike workers at a West Germany automobile factory will get an enforved two-day vacation next week. Fifty thousand banana farm ers in Ecuador, lacking insur ance on their perishable crop, half of which is sold in the United States, are threatened with ruinous losses. A million tons of U.S. food consigned as aid to foreign na tions is dammed up in nearly paralyzed ports from Maine to Texas. , ,. .. Losses to the domestic econ omy alone are estimated at be yond $400 million, and rising $20 to $25 million a day. . These are some of the effects of the work stoppage that has tied up general cargo at 41 At lantic and Gulf coast ports since Dec. 23. The strike stemmed from a contract dispute between 60,000 members of the AFL-CIO Inter national Longshoremen's Assn. and the New York Shipping Assn., representing the shipping industry. Alexander P. Chopin, associ ation chairman, ' appraised the dollar cost domestically. "It's like throwing a pebble into a quiet lake," Chopin said. "The longer the strike lasts, the farther it ripples back into the nation, squeezing off com merce." . In Chicago, the wholesale price of bananas jumped $1.50 a 40-pound box to $5.25. Import ed phonograph record players were in short supply in New York. Dealers in imported cars ran low on, or out of, some pop ular models. In a New Orleans wharf shed, a $150,000 shipment of government-owned cheese lay exposed to spoilage. Chief sufferers so far have been the payless dock and allied maritime workers, port city stores and taverns they patron ize, steamship lines and import export businesses. No major industrial shut downs were reported because of inability to move goods from factory sites, or store them. Many businesses adjusted to shipping and storage problems. The day after the strike be gan, rail shipments of general cargo to affected ports was em bargoed. Even so, more than 14,000 rail cars clogged yards and ap proaches to the docks this week. Two-thirds of them were filled with grain for export elevators. Elevators neared their work ing capacity of 3.9 million bush els in Philadelphia and 11.5 million bushels at New Orleans. Oil, coal, sugar, ore and other bulk materials movements were affected little or not at all at Boston, Norfolk and other ports. This type cargo is loaded and unloaded automatically with out longshoremen labor. Despite this, about 400 ships were immobilized at pierside and harbor anchorages, one fourth of them at New York. Talks continued here Thurs day in efforts to settle the dis pute between the dock union and the New York Shipping Assn., which represents 145 shipping and stevedoring com panies. Over the years, contract terms reached between the two groups here traditionally set a pattern for settlements in other ports. Assistant Secretary of Labor James J. Reynolds, who met separately with representative of both sides Wednesday, re ported no progress toward set tlement. Wages are a major issue in the dispute. The union is seek ing a package increase of 50 cents an hour, including 29 cents in wages, over two years. The industry has offered 22 cents over two years. The pre strike basic wage averager $3.02 an hour. Invitation Accepted WASHINGTON W President Romulo Betancourt of Venezue la has accepted President Ken nedy's invitation to visit Wash ington Feb. 19-20, the White House announced Wednesday.
