he and Mr.. Adenauer stood for
the national anthems.
Mr.. Adenauer went inside

Eisenhower said to the inter-
Ipreter,
Tell him TO take care Of
himself. Tell him, too. to use
those choppers (helicopters)
rather than automobiles, They
are much less wearing on the
NERVES" 4
Mr.. Eisenhower's plane then
took off for London nearly %
hours after it had arrived here.
Cites Adenauer's Views
Before returning to the
United States September 4. he
will visit Paris for discussions
with President de Gaulle.
Mr.. Eisenhower told his news
conference he believes Mr..
Adenauer shares his view that
the Khrushchev Eisenhower
talks may melt a little Of the
ice" in the cold war.
AS to whether the 83-year-
old German leader indicated
any misgivings about the So
viet-American talks, Mr.. Eisen-
hover replied: II will certainly
say I saw no indication of
that"
Mr.. Eisenhower addressed a
news conference at the West
German Foreign Ministry-the
first he had ever held on for
eign soil since becoming Presi-
dent-after his talks with Mr..
Adenauer.
Only an interpreter was pres
ent during more than half of
the meeting between the Presi-
dent and the Chancellor.
Mr.. Eisenhower declined re-
peatedly to go into detail on
any phase of their talks. He
said. however, that they dis
cussed no new proposal for set
Ting the dispute over West
Berlin.
Calls for Assurances
Although he defended his de-
cision to exchange visits with
Mr.. Khrushchev, Mr.. Eisen-
hover said any East-West sum-
NIT conference would be a
grave mistake unless there were
pretty good advance assurances
Of some progress.
He is confident mo one in
the world wants war" he said,
and he is not going to be classed
as a bomb rattler over Berlin.
While telling newsmen he
hadn't seen any evidence of
disunity among the Western
allies. Mr.. Eisenhower said he
believes closer unity of the ma
tons of Western Europe "is
really the hope for salvation of
-. the world"
European capitals have been
full of talk OF disputes among
the leaders of West Germany,
France and Britain. Authori-
tative informants said Mr.. Eli
senhower felt his chief task
abroad was to unity those lead
ers behind him in advance Of
the Khrushchev talks.
Talked About France
The President said he had
not heard one single dissident
word" that would indicate any
deterioration of allied firm
ness. "a
On the other hand, he told
newsmen he and Mr.. Adenauer
talked about France very
considerably"
The chief area of dissension
in the NATo alliance lies in
President de Gaulle's insistence
on greater role for France in
side the alliance.
Mr.. Adenauer was reported
primed to urge Mr.. EiSen-
hover to give some ground
to Gen. de Gaulle when Mr..
Eisenhower goes to Paris next
week.
The President said in answer
to question that he was I'M
able to say whether his visit
TO Europe might result in new
East-West talks on disarma-
ment. He added that his adj
visers are constantly review
ing that situation-going over,
as he put it, ANY sins of
omission or commission"
In discussing the need for
closer unity of Western Euro
pean nations, Mr.. Eisenhower
said the United States is ac-
lively supporting economic and
other types of union being de-
veloped in Europe. but he spe-
Gifted that he and the Chan
cellor did not talk about
political indignation.
Curious About Soviet
For the second time this
week-the first was at a Wash
ington news conference.-the.
Eisenhower said that in his
talks with Mr.. Khrushchev he
wants to find out whether the
Soviet Premier has any quail
