He thus seemed to be rejec,
ting one aspect Of the Western
compromise offer-but ne still
did not seem to choke of all
chance of some kind of Berlin
agreement at Geneva which
could lead to a summit confer
ence.
The heart Of the Western
plan is a provision for contin-
uing the allied occupation Of
West Berlin. The heart of So
Wet opposition is that the &C.
cupation status must be ended.
Mr.. Khrushchev's greatest
weapon to force an end is a
campaign of harassment or a
new blockade to break the West
Berlin economy
He brandished that weapon
In his speech at a Kremlin
rally honoring visiting East
German leaders. Releasing con-
troll Of the supply lines to the
East Germans would give them
opportunity to crack down on
traffic between Berlin and West
Germany.
Mr.. Khrushchev said some
strides had been taken toward
success Of the Geneva confer
ence. and added:
If the West drops its I'M
founded dreams, 1t would be
possible to come to an agree
ment."
Presumably the "unfounded
dreams" applied to Western in
teHtions to continue the occu-
patton status in West Berlin.

rotary Herter Is at odds with
President Eisenhower over the
question of a summit. or that
there is any feeling Of having
been let down by the White

the Russians.
The reaction here is simply
that interpreting Mr.. Eisen-

Geneva talks fail war wrong

cefn it is over what appears
to be a lack of communication
on important questions during
the last few days.
The question Of a summit
conference. at any rate. is I'M
likely to arise in the immedi-
ate future. Barring either a
complete breakdown OF the
talks here or a miraculous
change Of attitude on the part
of the Russians, the prospect
is for "a recess of about one
month, during which time
everything would be held in
allegiance.

would not like the idea Of a
recess, but would find it hard
to turn down a Western request
for time to think things over
and prepare for the next phase
lof the negotiations.
1t is clear enough. however,
that the doubtful American
view about the prospects Of a
summit conference is by no
means an agreed allied posi-
ton. The British have for a
long time favored the idea of
a top-level meeting with no
conditions attached. And moth
ing has happened in the course
of the Geneva talks to make
them change their mind.

American diplomats in gen.
eral have been painfully sur
prised by what has been inter-
preted as a softening of these
conditions by President Eisen-
hover at his press conference
Wednesday.
Condition Held Not Set
The President made the
point that the Foreign Min
isters' efforts had not bright
ened prospects for a summit
conference. But he said that
he had not conditioned a sum-
NIT talk on a Berlin settle

said that he would be glad

foreign ministers make such
progress as TO give ANY reas-
enable person the belief that
that progress would make a
summit conference fruitful"
The remark on Berlin was
the one that set of the uneasy
reaction among Americans
here. AT a critical stage in the
talks on Berlin. when the allies
are trying to exert the greatest
pressure to wiring a settlement
from the reluctant Russians.
the idea that the West might
agree to summit conference
in the event Of failure here has
seemed to weaken their posi-
ton.
So far as the American de-
legation at Geneva is con-
cerned. the chanes Of a sum-
NIT meeting in the event Of
failure to agree on Berlin are
very small indeed. Even admit
ting a certain difference Of at
titude within the Western
camp, there is no feeling that
the United States would with
draw or modify the conditions
for the top talks.

BERLIN. July 2. Konrad
Adenauer's Christian Demo-
cratic Party voted solidly yes
terday for the old Chancellor's
choice for the West German
presidency. But the wounds
inflicted by the bitter struggle
within the party before the
election are far from healed.
Despite the election of
Christian Democrat Heinrich
Luebke to the nations figure
head presidency. the opposition
Socialists are talking optimis-
tically about their chances of
winning control of Parliament
in the general election in Sep
TENDER, 1861.
n When Mr.. Luebke'S election
was announced, perhaps the
least disappointed person in
Berlin's East Prussia Hall was
his Socialist opponent, Carlo
Schmid.
Schmid Looks Ahead
Mr.. Schmid, a 62-year old
writer and scholar, was openly
uninterested in winning the
powerless presidency. He hopes
to be his party's choice for
Chancellor if the Socialists win
in 1861.
"The Christian Democrats
are in trouble" a Socialist
leader remarked after the
presidential vote. They're
not going to get over their
intrsparty struggle for a long
time"
Gerhard Schroeder, Mr.,
Adenauer's interior minister
sidestepped when asked if he
thought Mr.. Luebke's election
was a success for Mr.. Adenauer
1T was a success for the
Christian Democrats" he said
1T proved the unity of our
party"
Independent observers felt
the solid party vote for Mr.
Luebke showed a general
Christian Democratic desire to
keep the Socialist, Mr.. Schmid
from getting the presidency
