GENEVA (AP) Life is grim, life is earnest at the Big Four con ference. But occasionally the stuf fy, often tense sessions are light ened by sudden shafts of wit that pinpoint the rival East -West posi tions better than thousands of words of speeches. A Western official was stressing to a Soviet representative the need for a "gentleman's agreement" that the Soviet Union would not seek to change the Allied position in Beilin. "Yes," the Soviet interrupted testily, "but what is a 'gentle man's agreement?' " "Why, any gentleman will tell you that, the westerner retort ed. Last week Jacob A. Malik, the Soviet ambassador to Britain, was chatting with British Foreign Sec retary Selwyn Lloyd about the slow progress the Big Four were making toward new stopgap or temporary arrangements in Ber lin. Suddenly Malik sang out, 'Ut's a long, long way to temporary," and Lloyd dissolved into laughter. After demanding that East and West German delegates be allow ed to join secret Big Four ses sions, the Soviets Andrei Groin yko relented last week. He agreed they could he excluded from so cial occassions." He added: "just put a bottle of whisky on the table and that'll make our meetings social." The other day the conference air was full of reports ot interallied differences. The French and West: Germans were said to be at odds, j The British reportedly opposed1 both. The Americans were trying; to hold the Allied front. One Soviet lounging with a group of reporters discussing these dif ferences, commented: "this is a conference ot the Western Allies, and we Russians are merely ob servers." Then there's the story a U.S. re porter told about I he time he was strolling through the Moscow zoo. The American said at the lion's den he saw a banner announcing a perfect example of the sort of peaceful coexistence the Soviets preach. Beside the lion in the cage was a frolicking lamb. The American said he asked the zoo keeper how the Soviets train ed the lion to lie down with the lamb. "We don't train them,' ler explained. "We Just put a new the kecp-Uamb in every day."
