Of Foreign Ministers
By Crosby 5. Noyes


A conference of Big Three
foreign ministers will be held in
Washington starting about July
10, Secretary of State Dulles an
nounced today.
Mr.. Dulles told press con-
ference that French acceptance
to the ministers meeting, pro-
posed Friday by the British, had
been received a few minutes pre-
viously The French, he said,
had proposed July 10 as the date
of the meeting. Assuming Brit
ish approval, 1t will be held in
Washington around that time.
Korea Stand Unchanged.
In his conference, the Secre-
tary also made these points:
l. The position of the Govern
ment in regard to a Korean truce
has not changed since President
Eisenhower wrote to South Ko-
rean President Synghman Rhee
June 6. But our negotiators in
Korea have been give a large
measure of discretion as to pro-
cedure" in trying to reach agree
ment with the South Korean
government.
2. The recent revolt in East
Berlin and throughout the Sa-
tellite states shows that Russian
control is over-extended and
that subject peoples want to
run their own affairs and not
be run from Moscow"
3. The new proposals of Sen
ator Bricker, Republican, of
Ohio. to limit the treaty-making
power of the Executive branch
are still quite unacceptable from
the administrations point Of
view.
Statement on Korea.
Mr.. Dulles came to his first
press conference since the re-
lease of North Koreaen war
prisoners with a prepared state
ment on the Korean truce talks.
It said:
1.-THE discussions with the Re-
public of Korea and the negotia-
tionS with the Communists with
reference to an armistice are
continuing. The principal rep
resentatives, Assistant Secretary
Robertson from the political side
and Gen. Clark from the mill
tary side, are thoroughly IA
miliar with our basic thinking
and Of our continuing desire to
achieve an armistice under the
conditions set forth in Presi-
dent Eisenhower's letter of June
6 to President Rhee.
"The basic position of this
Government has not changed
since that time. Within the
framework of President Eisen-
hower's letter, our representa-
tives have been given a large
measure of discretion as to pro-
cedure."
Reticent on Situation.
The Secretary refused to be
drawn into further discussion of
the Korean situation because of
the delicacy of the negotiations
and the absence of late news of
developments. He would not say
whether discretion as to pro-
cedure" included authority to
negotiate a mutual defense pact
with the South Korean govern
ment before the armistice is
signed.
Mr.. Dulles second statement
dealt with developments in East
ern Europe.
He had long been confident.
the Secretary said. that Russia's
satellite population could not be
nodded into the Soviet pattern,
particularly if the free people
kept alive the hope of the cap
tives and showed them that they
were not forgotten"
There has now developed ex-
tensive unrest within the satel-
lite countries of Europe" Mr..
Dulles said. 1T demonstrates
that the people do retain their
love of God and country and
their sense Of personal dignity.
They want to run their own af-
fairs and not be run from Mos
cow"
Food Supply Not Planned.
The Berlin outbreak showed
that this spirit can never be re-
pressed and this love of freedom
is more and more manifesting
itself through the captive peo-
pies"
Mr.. Dulles was asked if consid-
Grafton was being given to ship
