shchev had finished. the ticking
Of the gold clock between the
angels could be heard in the
hushed room overlooking the
chestnut trees in the Elysee
garden.
Mr.. Eisenhower, speaking in
a controlled voice that masked
his wrath. began reading from
the notes before him. The
flights. he declared, had no
aggressive intent but rather
were to assure the safety of
the United States and the free
world against surprise attack. /"
For the first time, Mr.. Eisen-
hover announced that the
United States intended no fur
ther flights over Russia.
When Mr.. Eisenhower had
concluded, Mr.. Khrushchev re-
sponded. He said that the Pres
ident's statement failed to con-
denim the flights, that it con-
tanned no expression Of regret.
He could not take part in the
conference until he had re-
ceived such assurance from the
President. he said.
De Gaulle Trips Khrushchev
Gen de Gaulle, who had had
enough by now, interrupted.
He was, the French President
declared, being overflown 10
times a day by the Soviet Sput-
mix which had been launched
only the previous day. Perhaps
the Sputnik was taking pictures
of the territory Of France.
At that, Mr.. Khrushchev
raised both hands high above
his head, and declared ,solemly:
"As God is my witness, our
hands are clean and our soul
is pure"
No, Mr.. Khrushchev added.
he would not put a camera in
the Sputnik.
That might be the case. said
Gen. de Gaulle, but the Soviet
Union had secured excellent
photographs Of the far side of
the moon. He had seen those.
Mr.. Khrushchev slipped. He
did not give a damn about
overflights, he roared.

English as the interpreters
tried to keep the pace.
Mr.. Macmillan now spoke.
The eyes Of the world, he said
feelingly, were on this room
and the men in it. Gentlemen,
he appealed, let the summit
proceed with its work, on which
the hopes Of all people rest.
1t was an eloquent statement.
