neither Premier Khrushchev
nor any other single power or

terms to the Security Council.
This increased the prospect
that the regularly-constituted
Security Council will meet
sometime before any summit
meeting to set the agenda, par
Elephants and time presumably
would be set at that time.
The United States is reported
eager to confine both the
agenda and the composition OF
the conference.
American officials want the
agenda narrow enough so thai

The United States repeatedly
prefers to avoid giving the

to bring up American over

and other subjects.
Advantage Hoped For

Differences in Approach
Mr.. Eisenhower's note to Mr.
Khrushchev repeatedly will call
for the United Nations itself to
set the ground rules, time and
place for a summit conference
on the Middle East.
Diplomatic sources said that
while the Western powers are
generally agreed on a U. N.
summit session on the Middle
East. there is little possibility
the agenda might be expanded
to other problems. The West
has no intention OF expanding
the talks, and any Russian ini-
tiative would meet a cool re-
Spouse, If not outright rejection.
Despite differences in APP
proach by the big Western pow
ers-Britain, France and the
United States - these amount
to little more than maintaining
a flexible position, one source
said.
Britain has proposed the
U. N. Security Council as the
site for such a meeting. the
United States repeatedly wants
the U. N. to take the initiative
in setting the ground rules. and

Draft Note Circulated
Mr.. Khrushchev had said he
would come to New York for a
meeting Of the heads Of the
governments represented on the
Security Council If Indian
Prime Minister Nehru and the
heads of interested Arab coun-
tries we're invited to take part.
White House Press Secretary
James c. Hagerty refused to
say whether any changes were
made In the Presidents reply
to Mr.. Khrushchev after a
draft note was circulated
among Americas allies for con-
sultation.
The President still may shy
away from saying specifically
whether he will meet with Mr.
Khrushchev and other govern
ment heads personally. There
seems little doubt that Mr.
Eisenhower would go to New
York for such a meeting. But
so far he has left himself an
"out" under which he could
designate Secretary of State
Dulles or possibly Vice Presi-
dent Nixon to represent him.
Double Status Emphasized
American officials have beer
pointing out privately in recent
days that the President wears
two hats-that he is chief Of
state as well as head of Gov
eminent. This could give him
a technical reason for not at
tending q prolonged conference
with other government heads
1t could be that he would at
tend some sessions of the pro-
posed summit meeting. but
not all.

Another charge of being drunk

Lady Decker was not present

represented her dashed of to
a telephone to try to get. the
news to her aboard her yacht.
The incident from which the
charges arose occurred on the
romantic island Of Capri Au-

accused Of insulting a harbor
guard by repeatedly taking his
beret from his head in sign
of contempt and (by) pro-
nouncing injurious phrases
against him."
In summing up the case. the
prosecutor said Lady Decker
was inebriated," but that he
would not contend she was

ever, are less confident that
Mr.. Nehru would back them.
They are said to feel he might
have some critical things to

Dulles to See Britons
Secretary Dulles is expected
to take advantage of his visit
to London this week end to
discuss with Prime Minister
Macmillan and Foreign Secre-
tary Lloyd the strategy for the
Security Council summit meet
ing.
What agreements between the
Soviet Union and the West
could be expected out of a
summit conference is still not
clear.
Some officials here regard the
meeting as primarily a propa-
ganda battle out of which the
United States and its allies
could get considerable. Others
however, are aware that Mr.
Khrushchev will also have
golden opportunity to press his
charges of aggression and in
reference in the affairs Of
small states of the Middle East
Premier de Gaulle has pub
licly deplored the prospect
of holding the meeting ir
the charged atmosphere of the
United Nations at this time.
But one of his cabinet minis

eral would be willing to come

Secretary Dulles has sched'

beginning August 4. So fal

trip, so that prospects we're thai

ment 10 discuss the preservation
Of peace"
Quote Humphrey
The government newspaper
Izvestia asserted delays are in
admissible.
"As Senat tor Humphrey
Democrat Of Minnesota so
graphically expressed the stu
alton, 'Khrushchev has pressed
the United States to the wall in
such a way we dare not reply
otherwise than in agreement"
Izvestia said.
In Cairo, the government
controlled press said Middle
East problems cannot be dis
cussed at a summit conference
without the presence Of Presi-
dent Nasser Of the United Arab
Republic.
The newspaper Al Akhbar
hammered a report saying THE
World Welcomes the Invitation
Of Nasser." as If the makeup Of
summit meeting participants
had been agreed upon. The
newspaper said Paris. London,
Rome and Tokyo favor an in
vitation to Col. Nasser.
