French Foreign Minister Maui
lrice Couve de Murville. They
leave Geneva tomorrow night

-Four conference. and they re-
turn Friday in time for Big
-Four meeting thai afternoon.
| Western diplomats speculated
that Soviet Foreign Minister
Andrea A. Gromyko also might
go to the funeral, but there was
Ino word from Soviet headquar-
tiers confirming or denying the
Speculation.
United States Assistant Sec
Iretary of State Andrew H.
Berding said he thought it
possible Mr.. Gromyko might
lily to Washington. but he did
mot know.
GrOmykO Gives Condolences
Mr.. Gromyko agreed in a
Telephone conversation with Mr..
Herter to the two-day suspen-
sion of the conference. He said
he fully understood Mr.. Herter's
wish to attend the funeral and
Expressed condolences on the
death Of the former Secretary
Iof State.
Today's session convened on
schedule. with Mr.. Herter pre-
siding.
The recess, scheduled to begin
after the meeting tomorrow,
comes during a critical week in
the conference.
The Western ministers, APP
parently with some agreement
or encouragement from Mr.
Gromyko, are planning to
engineer a gradual shift from
the formal debate over the
mutually rejected Soviet and
Western plans for Germany to
active negotiations on more
pliable issues.
Secret Talks Mapped
Mr.. Herter, Mr.. Couve de
Murville and Mr.. Lloyd'S
deputy, Sir Anthony Rumbold,
arranged meeting today to
consider concrete ways of carry
ing on secret talks with Mr.
Gromyko on arrangements for
a summit meeting and other
related problems.
Mr.. Couve de Murville also
was to meet with Mr.. Gromyko
and to talk about much the
same thing.
All three Western ministers
also scheduled a strategy dis
cusSion.
The West hoped to reduce
the sterile argument over posi-
tons which are now beyond
compromise. The Western dele
gates hoped they would be
through in about two weeks.

would come to Washington for
the funeral.

The results of the election
were announced after a 30
minute closed session in Mr..

three Commissioners had con-
ferred for 35 minutes in Mr..

Mentions Understanding
Mr.. Karrick issued the fol-
lowing statement after the vote
was made public:
"Out of respect and Difference
for what ! have been told is
the desire Of the President of
the United States. / have voted
for Mr.. Mclaughlin as presi-
dent Of the Board of Commits
sioners, although contrary to
my belief in a type of election
more conducive to potential
rotation in Office, and to my
understanding of Commissioner
McLaughlin's statement on
April 6, 1856.
Throughout this contest for
the presidency of the board,
there has been no unpleasant
ness between Mr.. Mclaughlin
and me. and, judging from his
attitude and my feelings, there
will be none. I am confident
that we can and will continue
to work comparatively on the
problems of our community"
Mr.. Karrick's comment on
his understanding" of a state
rnent by Mr.. Mclaughlin was a
reference to his belief that the
two had informal agreement
when Mr.. Mclaughlin was first
nominated for a Commissioner
ship that the presidency would
be rotated to Mr.. Karrick.
