DENVER, Sept. 8.-President
Eisenhower and Secretary of
State Dulles are hopeful the
landslide election victory of West
Germany's Chancellor Konrad
Adenauer will lead to unif1cation
of all Germany-and greater al

Mr.. Dulles said so after ga
hour conference with the Presi-

pro-American Adenauer govern

satisfaction to both of them.
And Mr.. Dulles told newSmen
at the Summer White House that

No Hint of Displeasure.
Nor did the Chief Executive
drop any hint of displeaSure over
Mr.. Dulles remarks about Tri-
este, India or Japan, the Sec
retary added.
Mr.. Dulles statements last
Wednesday and Thursday re-
garding all of these matters
kicked up a storm Of protest
abroad and prompted a pub
lished report that the President
summoned Mr.. Dulles to Denver
because the Secretary had caused
him grave concern.
But Mr.. Dulles said Gen.
Eisenhower "saw nothing out of
the way" about the controversial
statements.
For that matter, Mr.. Dulles
went on, the President said that
in the case of the Secretary's
prediction Endorsement Of Mr..
Adenauer. "the answer was in
the results, which were far more
than we had dared to expect"
Mr.. Dulles said the Adenauer
victory showed that the Ger
mans appreciate and are respon-
Sive to the policies of the three
Western powers - the United
Kingdom, France and the United
States"
The secretary also voiced the
hope that the victory would lead
to unif1cation of all Germany and
to increased unif1cation Of
Europe"
Wide Range of Topic.
The long Labor Day confer
ence at Lowry Air Force Base
dealt with a wide range of for
elgn policy matters.
Mr.. Dulles said he and the
President discussed Korea and
plans for the proposed political
conference, which we hope will
bring about unif1cation of Ko-

baSSador of the United States,
Great Britain and France in both
Italy and Yugoslavia are using
their good Offices to allay a
crisis"
Position Unchanged.
He said this country's official
position" in support of a 1948
proposal favoring turning over
the Adriatic free zone of Trieste
to Italy has not changed. But
he added: I'VE are minded
regarding seeking any solution
acceptable to Italy and Yugo-
slavia."
When Mr.. Dulles talked last
week about the United States
being open-minded on the issue,
it touched off charges in Italy
that this Government was aban-
doning the 1948 proposal.
Mr.. Dulles reported that his
conference with the President

2. Iran and the closer Western
world ties, both political and eco
nomic, which we hope will de-
velop under the new regime"

first step to strengthen those ties
came last Saturday when Gen.

emergency economic aid.
