version Of an agreement on
Berlin toward which they have
been making painfully little
progress for nearly six weeks.
This proposal, which the
allies hoped might remove the
Communist threat to Berlin
and open the way to a summit
meeting later in the summer,
will be formally submitted to
Russia's Andrei Gromyko at
the private meeting Of the Big
Four tomorrow.
Hope Almost Gone
For the first time there is al
most no hope among the West
ern delegates that Mr.. Gromyko
will change his line and show a
willingness to discuss the pro-
posal seriously. His attitude at
the private meeting yesterday
apparently convinced the
hardest optimists here that
there is little point in going on
with wha' has long since be-
come very tireSome comedy to
those most directly involved.
If, as they expect, he turns
down tie proposal once again.
the stage will be set for the
final dreary act. On Friday, ac-
cording to the present plan. the
ministers will hold their last
full-scale meeting and there
make a public record on why
the conference failed and who
is to blame.
Cooling Of Period
Two still-undecided questions
will set the limit Of mutual
nastiness at the likely last ses-
sion Friday is whether or not
there is a decision TO have an
other round of talks on the for
eign ministers level after a
cooling of period of several
weeks. The second is whether
or not the Russians, in a final
attempt to pull their own par
ticular chestnuts out Of the
Geneva fire. will demand a
summit meeting despite the
failure of the ministers to
reach agreement.
In the present mood of de-
spondency. the prospects for a
recess seem to have dimmed in
the last two days. Western
diplomats are frankly tired of
pouring the same fruitless
arguments day after day into
Mr.. Gromyko's unbending ear.
On a purely personal level,
they shudder at the thought of
cranking up the whole process

tory pickering on a lower level.
With no new ideas in the off,
ing and no real prospect of a
change in the situation from
the Russian side, the only ar
g,lment heard here in favor OF
a recess is that it might prevent
the Russians from taking any
immediate action against West
Berlin.
Final CONFUSION Seen
For their part the Russians
are expected to provide one f.
nal convulsion by suggesting
that the ministers. before leav-
| ing Geneva, should set the time
and place for a summit meet
! ing. Mr.. Gromyko can point out
that this was one of the tasks
assigned to the conference
which has not yet even been
discussed. Privately the Rus
slams here have been pushing
this argument with increasing
force:
The ministers have been
talking for weeks without being
able to settle anything. We here
in this room haven't been able
to agree between ourselves, Why
not let the top boys have a try
at it?"
From the Western viewpoint,
there are a number of good
reasons. There is the greatest
scepticism toward the idea
that problems which remain
unresolved after six weeks OF
argument could be settled
amiably IN a few days at a
higher level. There is also the
feeling that if summit meet
ing failed, the world might well
be a good deal closer to a shoot
ing war over Berlin than it is
today.
Election Effect Feared
Mr.. Gromyko's expected sug-
gestion. however. seems likely
at least to cause a certain
amount Of anguish in the
Western camp.
In Britain the hope for a
summit conference is still being
anxiously weighed as a factor
in the approaching national
elections. In turning down the
Russian invitation. it would
again be necessary to explain
the reasons for doing so very
clearly. And the ordeal of
bringing the meeting to tidy
conclusion might have to be
dragged out even further.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-06-16

substantial change. The House
Foreign Affairs Committee
trimmed about S266.S million
from the S3.9 billion asked by
President Eisenhower.
Because Of several hours re-
naming for general debate as
we'll as consideration Of numer-
Gus proposed amendments. the
House does not expect to reach
a final vote on its bill until late
tomorrow or Thursday.
Senate Ceiling Raised
Supporters as well as critics
of the House measure, mean
while. weighed the possible ef-
feet Of the Senate committees
action. That committee late
yesterday reported out a $4,-
l64,820,000 authorization bill,
almost $255 million more than
Mr.. Eisenhower recommended
and 1922 million above the
House bills total.
Those House and Senate YER
sions simply set a ceiling for
authorized economic and mill
tary assistance to icreign coun-
tries. Separate bills providing
the money itself will come from
House and Senate appropria-
tons committees.
The authorization version
voted by the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee differs
considerably from the House
bill on several important pro-
visions besides the total.
Allows Borrowing Authority
The Senate measure would
allow II easury borrowing au-
thority rather than direct APP
preparations to finance the
Development Loan Fund. This
procedure is opposed by the
administration. The Senate
action was attacked today by
Senator Byrd. Democrat Of
Virginia. chairman OF the Sem
ate Finance Committee. He
said it would violate orderly
and sound fiscal practices and
bypass congressional control
of expenditures by making So
called development loans in

the foreign ministers con-
ference at Geneva and a cutoff
of Western access to West Ber-
lin, however, it is expected
there will be room for consid-
cradle maneuvering.
Reds Still Seek Summit
For one thing. Soviet For
eign Minister Gromyko has in
dicated his government intends
to press for a summit meeting
even If the present Geneva
talks fail. Presumably this eff
fort would be made before the
Kremlin turns over to East
Germany the control Of the
Vests corridors to Berlin.
On the other hand, many
students Of Soviet cold-war
strategy believe Moscow intends
to resume its Korean proxy"
technique of allowing outpost
Communist nations to fight its
sxpansionist battles. Thus in
Europe they expect that some
day the Kremlin may order
East Germany into battle. when
the issue Is sufficiently be-
clouded so that the West will
/ find it difficult to make a clear
response.

emily has been trying to force
