Under this legislation, Fed

Since post Offices throughout

and regular deliveries are
scheduled, most of the 550,000

Advisers Of Secretary Of

expect the Soviets to launch q

the West for failure Of the

pressure for q summit confer
ence anyway.
There is a possibility the
Western Foreign Ministers may
seek a recess Of their confer
ence and leave the way open
to get together again.
President Eisenhower has
made plain that he has no in
tention of meeting Soviet Pre-
mier Khrushchev unless the
foreign ministers show enough
progress to justify a headS-of-
government conference.
Showdown Due Next Week
With sessions of the foreign
ministers recessed over the
week end, the showdown is ex-
pectsd to come early next week.
The French repeatedly share
the gloom Of the Americans
about chances Of success. But
the British cling to a hope that
the Russians might back down

of Berlin and seek an interim
agreement to lift the crisis sur
