GENEVA. July 10 R.-Any

Germany free to link herself
with the West as q member Of

Some high quarters had be-
Ilieved that changes now under
way in Russia's foreign policies
might be so sweeping as to cover
ia new policy toward Germany.
But, in a speech rewritten
after Mr.. Eisenhower and Mr.,
Faure had made their opening
speeches at the summit confer
Ience. Marshal Bulganin gave the
German problem priority second
to that of European security and
other measures which he said
could lead to a step-by-step
German solution.
Western officials considered
his attitude on the German is

The conclusion was almost in
escapable that, despite any pres
sures it may be under to ease
tensions, the Soviet government
is not now prepared to make
any important cutback in its
power position in Europe.
Western diplomats expressed
disappointment on this score
after hearing Marshal Bulgan-
inns speech.
