GENEVA, Aug. 8.-Chancel.
Tor Konrad Adenauer and his
West German government de
not appear to carry as much
weight in Western policy al
they did when the late Johr
Foster Dulles was running the
United States State Depart
ment.
This is one conclusion that
may be drawn from the 1858
East-West foreign ministers
conference which wound up
here Wednesday with the Ber-
lin crisis being put on ice, at
least temporarily.
The conference came to an
end while attention was focused
on the agreement of President
Eisenhower and Soviet Premier
Nikita S. Khrushchev to ex-
change visits and engage in
direct talks.
Mr.. Adenauer long has been
suspicious of such direct talks,
although his Foreign ONCE has
not always shared his skepti-
cism.
European Split Feared
Among many West German
leaders there turks the fear
that the Soviet Union and the
United States some day may
agree to divide the world into
two giant spheres of influence,
giving Eastern Europe to the
Russians.
Such a development would

perpetuate the division Of Ger
many and represent a disas-
trous defeat for the Adenauer
government. United States Of
ficials scoff at the idea Of any
such division Of the world.
On the other hand, British
Prime Minister Harold Mac
milan and Foreign Secretary
Selwyn Lloyd succeeded in get
ting pretty much what they
wanted at Geneva.
Mr.. Lloyd was the most ac-
tive Of the ministers at the
conference. He was busy ma
neuvering from beginning to
end.
Talks Next Best
His basic objective was to
bring East and West together
in a summit meeting. In this
he failed, since the conference
did not produce the real prog
ress which Mr.. Eisenhower had
listed as necessary for summit
talks.
But British leaders welcomed
what they consider the next
best thing, the meeting be-
tween Mr.. Eisenhower and Mr..
Khrushchev. Some informants
have claimed that the ex-
change was a British idea in
the first place,
Soviet Foreign Minister An
drei A. Gromyko did his best
to exploit his success in getting
the East Germans into the
plenary sessions although they
were there only as advisers.

The international commits

said.
Some of the delegation Just

"They want to force our gov

and restore the (Communist)

government. They desire to

Uathet Lao formerly con-
trolled the provinces Of Sam

have them so identified in the
final communique but the West
successfully resisted the effort
Secretary Of State Christian
A. Herter was described as
feeling that the East Germans
were an unhappy lot when they
left the conference because
they had failed to gain greater
worldwide prestige.
Hasty Russian Act
There remain divisions OF
opinion as to why the Soviet
Union set the Berlin crisis in
motion last November. But
opinion among the Western
ministers appears to have
hardened into the belief that
Mr.. Khrushchev's challenge
was a hasty act which he has
come to regret.
This opinion was based on
Mr.. Gromyko's repeated state
ments that he would never
have come to the conference
for negotiations if the Rus
SLAMS intended to take action
on their demands that United
States, British and French gar
risons get out of Berlin.
One highly placed Western
official said 1t was clear that
the Russians were ready to
try to negotiate the Western
powers out of Berlin but not
prepared to try to force them
out.
The momentum has gone out
of the Soviet diplomatic Often
sive against West Berlin. While
the exchange Of visits between
President Eisenhower and Mr..
Khrushchev is impending, a
period of relative sweetness and
light has begun.
But this period may be brief
some Western officials say. The
Russians could turn on the
heat when they please.

Northern Argentina's leading

into the rioters. The paper also
blamed Gov. Gelsi for the

Police estimated that 10000
strikers converged on Tucuman
just before the fighting last
night. The glow of distant fires
indicated they had set sugar
plantations ablaze before leav-

a number of private homes in
Tucuman and looted stores.
General Strike Announced
When the fighting ended, the
Tucuman General Labor Fed
Grafton announced a general
strike to support the sugar
workers. Union leaders said
the strike will continue until

Keuting Measure
On Confessions in
Trials Endorsed

A bill to allow more liberal
use of confessions in court
trials won support last night
from the Northeast Washing
ton Citizens Association.
The measure, introduced last
month by Senator Heating, Re-
publican of New York, pro-
vides that otherwise admis-
sable confessions should not be
thrown out solely because of
delay in arraigning the pris-
oner.
The bill grew out of a Su-
preme Court decision in June,
1857, reversing the rape con-
yiction of Andrew r. Mallory
who earlier had been sentenced
to death.
In other action. the group
opposed construction of a pro-
posed eight-lane freeway along
Eleventh street.
The association held that
the route, which would extend
from Florida avenue N. E. tc
the AnacoStia River and in
clude the east side Of Eleventh
street, would intermingle city
traffic with a heavy flow Of
tourist and trucking vehicles.
The freeway would bring q
depreciation in property values
in the area and would tend tt
divide the surrounding COM
munity into two distinct Sec
lions, the organization said.
