Mr.. Khrushchev said the

such a (summit) conference"

The only agreement reached
on the subject so far, he said,

A speedy return Of more

Returning were five of the
IL engineers seized by the

more American captives.
The informants said a Snag

United States consular officials.
They added that the rebels
are demanding further discus

firn1ed at the United States
Embassy.
Still Negotiating
In all the rebels kidnapped
Al Americans and three Cana
