Eisenhower proposed tooay
that Russia and the United
States exchange complete
blueprints of each others
military establishments and
provide for mutual aerial in
spection of such facilities.
GENEVA, July 21 (R.-Rus-
sia and the Western powers
reached substantial agreement
today on plans for continuing
discussions of German unifica-
ton and European security after
the summit conference.
The Big -Four Foreign Ministers
discussed the two subjects for
two hours and then referred
them back to the heads Of
government for more talks at
the summit.
The leaders Of the four powers
President Eisenhower, Prime
Minister Eden, Premier Bulganin
and Premier Edgar Faure-met
at $3.50 pm. (10:30 am. EDIT
for their fifth session, a half
hour earlier than originally
scheduled.
This would permit them to dis
cuss the German and security
problems before beginning their
talks on disarmament, the third
item on their agenda.
Prepared Guidance
A communique said the for
eign ministers devoted their
morning session to working on
a set of directives to guide future
negotiations on the German and
security problems.
There was no immediate indi-
cation whether they had finished
draft. or whether they needed
more instructions from the top
level.
President Eisenhower, in pre-
paration for the disarmament
talks, had his Chief Of Staff, Ad-
Imiral Arthur Radford, and his
disarmament adviser, Harold e.
lStassen, as luncheon guests
Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles and other top members Of
THE United States delegation
|lunched with Soviet Foreign
Minister Molotov.
The main objective of this
mornings meeting of the For
Ieign Ministers was to work out
a guide for discussions at later
; Foreign Minister'S session in the
fall. The Western powers were
understood to favor a meeting
in October in Geneva, but the
Russian view was not known.
No Specific Plan
, An authoritative Western
source said that the United
; States did not plan to offer any
| specific disarmament proposals,
but that Mr.. Eisenhower would
restate the longtime American
) stand that any arms limitation
. agreement must provide for ef-
fective inspection and control
|, to prevent violations.
= In the offing, this diplomat
, indicated. was meeting at some
later date of the Big Four For
: eign Ministers on the closely re-
, lated issues Of German unity
and security.
{ This was the major deadlock
on the two problems: The West
, insisted that German reunifica-
= tion must come first, with an
all-European security system in
cluding united Germany to be
, worked out later. The Russians
/ demanded the security system
! first, with German unification to
! follow at some future-and
. probably far distant-date.
Some See Concessions
, Some Western diplomats con-
/ sidered, however, that the Rus
slams might have retreated
! from their previous bitter oppo-
sition to West German rearma-
ment. They drew this inference
from provisions OF a proposed
all-Europe security pact Marshal
Bulganin presented to the con-
ference yesterday.
In the main, the draft followed
closely the plan the Soviet first
proposed-and the West rejected
at the Berlin Foreign Minis
ter's meeting in February. 1854.
One difference. however, was
a provision for bringing pbout
the pact in two stages. During
the first stage the governments
signing the pact would not be
relieved Of obligations under
taken by them under other
treaties. This was interpreted
by some Western officials as per-
