The renewed invitation, the

He declined to go into the

Growing Soviet confidence in
Russia's ability to Withstand
attack may be playing an i'm
portant part in Kremlin for
eign policy, in the administra-
ton view.
This opinion was expressed
by Secretary of State Herter
yesterday in a late-afternoon
press conference.
Soviet Premier Khrushchev's
attitude toward the Berlin
problem has definitely become
tougher in recent weeks. the
Secretary acknowledged.
But Mr.. Khrushchev's own
statements and the Warsaw
Pact powers declaration that
the Soviet bloc will sign a sep
arate peace treaty with Com
munist East Germany If the
West refuses did not violate the
Khrushchev- Eisenhower agree
ment at Camp David, Mr.. Her
ter said.
No New Time Limit
So far, the Soviet Premier
has not imposed a new time
limit on the Berlin negotia-
tons, Mr.. Herter observed. The
Camp David talks resulted ir
agreement that Berlin negotia
tions should not be prolonged
indefinitely. but that no time
limit would be imposed.
The Secretary said he found
it hard to visualize satisfactory
agreement on Berlin coming Out
of the few days talks at the
summit conference in Paris next
|, May. He indicated that if the
leaders Of the Soviet Union
Britain, France and the United
States come to "a greater meet
ing Of the minds" their foreign
ministers or deputy foreign
ministers would reduce theil
agreement to precise form.
A "take-it-or- -leave-it" prop.
osition at the summit, he said
seemed unlikely.
Cites Defensive Strength
His remarks about growing
Soviet confidence came in an
swer to a reporters inquiry
whether the Russian lead in
missile power was affecting
foreign policy.
1t is possible, Mr.. Herter
said, that the Soviet Union has
a feeling of increased strength
from military point of view
not from any intention of TAX
ing the offensive but from its
defensive capacity, which has
given them greater assurance
in the international field"
A newsman asked if the
Secretary advocated a greater
United States effort to close the
missile gap.
Mr.. Herter replied he has
faith in President Eisenhower,
the Joint Chiefs of Staff and
Defense Secretary Gates, who
are taking steps to close the
gap as effectively as they can.
He expressed confidence there
