Mrs. Eisenhower compli-

they were wearing, worried that
wheelchairs were sticking in

90-degree heat might be too
much for the elderly guests.
But they took it all in happy
stride. enjoying refreshments

might accomplish in the course
of their long plane ride. The
very fact that Mr.. Gromyko
consented to the trip had been
taken as evidence Of his desire
to reach an agreement of some
kind.
The hopeful feeling had been
helped along. too. by the tone
Of some of Secretary Of State
Herter's remarks in Washing
ton. Oficials in Geneva were
frankly puzzled by some Of the
reports resulting from his brief
ing of congressional leaders
yesterday.
This morning they were still
searching the record to discover
the basis for the Secretary's
encouraging" estimate of the
progress made so far and his
hope Of discovering the fruit
full avenue" to the summit.
Certainly nothing has hap
pened here in the last few days
to give substance to any great
optimism. Most Of the dele
gates have prof1ted by the alb
Sence of their chiefs to snatch
q little relaxation in the de-
lightful Geneva sunshine
There have been no formal con-
facts with the Russians on any
Of the major questions under
discussion and no apparent
change in the situation since
Tuesdays recess.
Despite these facts, however,
the feeling persists that with
the return of the ministers and
the opening of private talks at
the British delegation head
quarters this afternoon, the
conference has at least entered
its decisive stage. From now
on it is thought the Geneva
show will become q kind Of
two-ring circus. While the
spotlight is still trained on the
public proceedings at the Palais
des Nations, the real interest
will center on the smaller and
less formal meetings.
There Is considerable caution
about predicting rapid and dra-
matte progress. 1t is con-
sidered unlikely, for instance,
that in their first private talks
the ministers will shove every
thing aside and Immediately
get down to brass tacks on the
question of Berlin.
Shrubbery Needs Clearing
This is, after all, the final
question on which the success
or failure of the conference
and the possibility of a summit
meeting depends. But before
it can be taken up there is
still a good deal of thorny
shrubbery to be cleared away.
For the allies to start talk
ing directly about Berlin means
the untying-not to say the
virtual scrapping-of their
laboriously-constructed pack
age plan for German reuniflca-
ton and European security. For
the Russians 1t means abandon
ing their arguments in favor Of
separate peace treaties for East
and West Germany. And since
the problem of Berlin itself is
directly tied to these broader
proposals, neither side is pre-
pared TO narrow draSClcally tine
area of the discussion.
The most likely prospect is
that the ministers in their
private talks will first take up
q number of specific subjects
on which some measure Of
agreement seems possible.
These include items in the
Western plan which Mr.. Gro
myko has shown a willingness
to discuss such as security and
disarmament provisions, the
creation Of an all German
committee, and even the ques-
ton Of holding free elections
lat some remote date.
Berlin Pact Could Be Tacit
