Mr.. Dulles arrived at the Presi-

from Washington last night for
the Labor Day conference and
was asked by newsmen who met
him at the airport:
"Mr. Secretary, is there any
friction between you and the
President?"
''Not that I know Of" the cab

The question was prompted by
published report that President
Eisenhower summoned Mr.. Dulles
to Denver because he was grave
ly concerned" and "displeased"
by certain statements made by
Mr.. Dulles last week on foreign
issues.
Report Called Untrue.
On Saturday the Summer
White House called the report
completely untrue" Assistant
Presidential Press Secretary
Murray Snyder added, however,
that he personally did not know
what Gen. EiSenhower's reac-
tionS were to remarks Mr.. Dulles
had made on the issues. They
dealt with West Germany, India,
Trieste and Japan-and touched
off angry criticism abroad.
In West Germany, for example.
the Socialist Party denounced
Mr.. Dulles Endorsement of Chan
cellor Konrad Adanauer's bid
for reelection.
BY the time Mr.. Dulles stepped
from his plane here last night
Mr.. Adenauer had swept to a
landslide victory in yesterdays
voting.
"I'm not surprised" Mr.. Dulles
commented with a smile.
Mr.. Dulles did not see Gen.
Eisenhower last night, but the
two men were scheduled to get
together at noon washington
time) today at the Presidents
Lowery Air Force Base office.
Asked what foreign policy
problems had brought him to
Denver, Mr.. Dulles replied:
Il have a docket of about 10
matters"
The secretary declined to
specify them, but Washington
officials have said the main
emphasis would be on develop
mentS in Indo- China and other
Far East areas.
The President and his Secre-
tray Of State have not had a
face-to-face conference since
August 10, when Mr.. Dulles
stopped here en- route to WASH
ington from Korea and Japan.
Attend Church Services.
The President and Mrs. Eisen-
hover attended 10 am. services
at the Lowry base chapel yester-
day, then were guests at a re-
ception given by officers and
their wives.
1t was Mrs. EiSenhower'S first
public appearance since she went
to church with the President
August 9, the day after they
arrived here for a vacation.
The First Lady has been both
cred by Denver's mile-high al
titude. Friends have said she was
completely exhausted the first
two or three weeks of her stay.
Yesterday, however, she looked
well and spent nearly an hour
shaking hands at the reception.
Il thoroughly enjoyed that"
she remarked as she left.
The President appeared to en-
joy himself, too. At one point he
observed he was glad to see so
much Of the Navy" on hand in
addition to Air Force personnel.
1--WE have a very pleasant re-
lationship here" an Air Force
officer told the President. And
Gen. Eisenhower said with a
chuckle:
"As a matter Of fact, you al
ways do when you get away from
Washington. It's only in Wash
lngton that the services fight like
cats and dogs"
The President did part of his
handShaking with his left hand
to favor a bruised right elbow.
He bumped it in the White House
shortly before leaving Washing
ton and has been getting medical
treatment.
"The one thing I can't do is
grip" the President explained in
apologizing for extending his
left hand.-
