| Officials Annoyed
It is understood that Ambas-
sador Grewe's problems devel-
oped mainly with the White
House, not at the State De-
Ipartment.
American officials are espe-
cially annoyed with Mr.. Ade-
nauer's Berlin press conferences
because the atmosphere in Sec
retary Rusk's meetings with
West German Foreign Min
ister Schroeder at last weeks

been so very satisfactory"
The two men did not reach
full agreement on details, Off
cials here say, meaning Mr.
Schroeder did not accept the
13-member access authority.
But the West German For
eign Minister did agree that
Soviet-American talks should
continue.
If Mr.. Adenauer continues
publicly to disparage prospects

talks, however, and If French
President de Gaulle stands
aloof, as he has in the past
the United States may fee
obliged to abandon the eight
month probing talkathor

Comments Promised
Foreign Minister Schroeder
promised that his government
would submit detailed COM
ments on the American paper
presented to the Soviet Am
bassador. Until these are re.
ceived, Mr.. Rusk Is not likely
to meet again with Mr.. Dobry-

Mr.. White avoided answering

however. According to other
sources, it is true the United
States has not yet changed its
13-member proposal and the
West German government has
not proposed alternatives, which
