deal Of rosy speculation died
away today with the return of
the four : highflying foreign

Hopes Of some dramatic re-
suit from their I7-hour trans

merely:

talk was confined to a period of
an hour and a half yesterday

ing the four ministers spent
the first hour reading news

cussion started at 5 pm, con-
tinuing until dinner was served
