Mr.. Dulles covered the discus
sions here point by point with
summarizing compents begin

security.
Comments ON East Europe
He said the Russian refusal
''even to contemplate free elec-
tions in East Germany serves
to highlight las no words could

Europe
IF the so-caIled German
Democratic Republic" he said
cannot stand the test of

Mr., Dulles recalled that at the
summit meeting Marshal Bull
ganin had agreed with President
Eisenhower and other Western
leaders to deal with the German
problem in terms Of reunification
and free elections. He added:
The government and people
of the United States win find it
hard to understand why in the
light of this. Chairman Bulganin
sent to this foreign ministers
conference a delegation which
apparently was under orders not
to discuss seriously the matter
of German reunification.
Macmillan Cites Red Attitude
British Foreign Secretary Har-
old Macmillan said he was more
worried about the Soviet atti-
tude than at the lack of success
here. He said:
81 am not so much concerned
that we have failed to agree on
all the questions which we were
instructed to discuss. What
worries me Is that the Soviet
delegation do not seem to mind
our failure. !"

Propaganda Battle Starts
The propaganda battle, which.
was bound to be waged as q re-
suit Of the failure of the con-
ference, already was getting un-l
der way. The West clearly in-l
tended TO blame Russia for the
failure.
Meanwhile, the Western dele
cations released the text Of &
proposal they had prepared for .
Horsepower statement on dis
armament. The Russian dele
cation had released its competi-|
tive draft last night. western
ofiicials said neither proposal
had much meaning now. because
neither would be acted on.
The draft prepared by the
West would have had the four
ministers state that their ex-
change of views here Oh disarn-
arnent -has been useful in clar-1
flying their respective positions, r
even though all they could agree
on was the statement that there
was q need for disarmament.
The major result OF the con-

powers are equally determined
