Physical Condition Poor
Mr.. Nelson's physical condi-

since he had undergone two
hernia operations and suffered
a stroke in recent years.
A small man of 5 feet, 4

Nelson was 81 when he left his

reported phoning from Moscow

he had finished debating his

it was being held up by CEN

of transmission difficulties. The

ties between Moscow and the
United States are taxed by the

that "the ultimate action of
the Congress will be to restore
the appropriations to the full
amounts authorized"
Two-Stage Program
Congress handles foreign aid
in two stages. First there is
an authorization bill which in
effect sets ceilings on the
amounts that my be used.
Then, acting under these
ceilings, it considers a second
bill carrying actual funds. The
amount Of money actually pro-
vided usually falls short Of the
amount authorized.
The appropriation bill sent
to the House today was drafted
under the $3,556.200,000 new
foreign aid authorization plus
certain permanent authorize

thorizations include $12,200,-

MOSCOW, July "a (AP).-
Vice President Richard M.
Nixon told Premier Nikita S.
Khrushchev face to face today,
in a rough and tumble public
debate, it would "be a great
blow to peace" If the Geneva
conference were allowed to fail.
Mr.. Nixon traded barbed
comments with the Soviet lead
er while escorting him through
the American exhibition in
Moscow'S Sokolniki Park.
At one point, Mr.. Khru-
shchev accused Mr.. Nixon in
dignantly Of threatening him.
Mr.. Nixon denied this, but said:
II don't believe the cause of
peace is helped by your re-
iterating the point you just
made-that you have more
strength than we have, be-
cause that is a threat, too"

looked on in amazement.
Mr.. Nixon promised Mr..
Khrushchev this portion of the
debate would be shown on an
American television network

English translation of the So
Wet leaders remarks.
Mr.. Khrushchev, in answer
to a request by Mr.. Nixon,
agreed to allow video tape to
be shown on Soviet television.
The two men shook hands on
the deal.
When the debate started in
front of the color television
cameras, Mr.. Nixon was a little
slow getting started, fumbling
occasionally for the words.
Bitter Remark on Bases
About two hours later, when
they had debated their way
around the fairgrounds, he ap-
peared to be meeting Mr..
KhruShchev point for point,
displaying a smile and a sense
of humor.

GENEVA, July 24.-The
Western foreign ministers went
into secret session with So
Wet Foreign Minister Andrea
A. Gromyko today to bargain
for a price cut in his offer Of a
truce deal on Berlin.
They were under pressure
from Britain to salvage a sum-
NIT conference if possible from
the wobbling Big Four foreign

met at the villa of Secretary

British Foreign Secretary
Selwyn Lloyd's strategy was to
try to get Mr.. Gromyko to
abandon his inSistence on
greater recognition for Com

the ministers could concen-
trate on an agreement to end
the Soviet threat to West
Berlin.
All three Western ministers
agreed to this strategy. But Mr.

it had some real chance Of
success.
Mr.. Gromyko was willing at
