lister Macmillan, Premier
Khrushchev and himself.
Il do not think that anyone
believes that it will be enough
that the four of us sit together
for problems of such magni-
tude to be effectively solved"
he said.
Perhaps we shall, at last,
decide on the road to follow,
however long and arduous the
stages may be. In any event
my country has determined its
purposes and hopes"
Gen. de Gaulle said it would
be unfortunate and untimely
for any one Of the powers to
press a demand for the con-
clusion Of treaties, settlement
OF borders or other actions "in
the most sensitive regions" -
an obvious reference to split
Germany and the divided city
of Berlin.
In another obvious thrust at
Soviet pre-summit maneuvers
he said, ANY attempt to- ag-
gravate the wounds suffered by
the German people must be
avoided"
He strongly advocated his
proposal for a joint program
OF economic aid by the indus
trial countries for the benefit
of the "unfavored masses of
Asia and the awakening popu-
lation of Africa"
Mr.. Eisenhower and Gen. de
Gaulle developed their COM
mon ideas" on how to deal
with Mr.. Khrushchev in a pri-
vate discussion that lasted
nearly two hours yesterday
afternoon. in the seclusion of
the Eisenhower Catoctin Noun
tain retreat at Camp David,
Md.
Full Sunday Together
The Camp David session
wound up a full Sunday the
two free world leaders spent
together in activities ranging
from a military critique of the
Battle of Gettysburg to inspect
ing Mr.. Eisenhower'S Black An
gus cattle herd.
At the end of the day, a
spokesman for Gen. de Gaulle
said, He looks really very
Satisf1ed"-with both the sight
seeing tour conducted by "a
charming host" and the results
of their business talks.
Before leaving Camp David,
the two Presidents dictated to
their press secretaries the fol-
lowing joint statement:
I'VE have had useful and
pleasant talks. We will meet
tomorrow morning with our
ministers.
I'VE have defined our own
thoughts, clarified our own
thinking as to how we shall
proceed at the summit meeting.
We are in agreement on that.
1--WE will continue these talks
tomorrow when we meet with
our ministers to inform them
of our private conversations
and to decide on the way Of
presenting our common ideas
at the summit meeting"
Mr.. Eisenhower and his guest
began their Sunday outing at
10:30 am, taking off from the
White House south lawn in an
Army helicopter for the Presi-
dents Gettysburg (PaD farm,
where they landed As minutes
later.
Ride to Cattle Barn
After looking over the house,
the two men walked to a nearby
barn, looked at the Presidents
horses and then got in a motor
lied surrey with the fringe on
top" to ride a quarter of a mile
to a cattle barn.
Back at the main house, the
two old soldiers decided on the
spur of the moment to make a
quick tour of the Gettysburg
battlefield. The Eisenhower
farm is on the edge of the
famous Civil War battlefield.
They stopped their limousine
at the statue of Gen. Robert E.
Lee. Mr.. Eisenhower showed
Gen. de Gaulle where Pickett's
charge began and ended, re-
calling that 5000 of the Con-
federate generals $4,000 men
quickly became casualties.
When they returned to the
farm after a half-hour tour
of the battlefield, Mr.. Eisen-
hover took his guest to the
nearby home of his son, Maj.
John Eisenhower. There Gen.
de Gaulle met the John Eisen-
howers and their four children.
The two Presidents spent
about 20 minutes there.
