Plan Called
Too Big for
Talks Now

MOSCOW, July 20 (AP)-
Premier Khrushchev's offer to
ease cold war tension with a
sweeping set of war prevention
proposals raised hopes today
of an early East-West summit
conference.
Some diplomatic sources in
dicated the proposals involved
so much that not one but a
series of summit conferences
may be necessary to reach
agreements.
The Soviet Premier offered
yesterday to back UP a nuclear
test ban agreement with a nom
aggression pact and a system
of airfield and railroad in
spections to prevent surprise
attacks.
Tonight, Mr.. Khrushchev
told ambassadors at a recep-
ton that the nuclear test ban
talks are going on so well that
IAN agreement is in sight"
He made the comment in the
presence of UnderSecretary of
State w. Averell Hartman,
head of the United States del
egation to the three-power
talks, at a reception in the
Kremlin for Janos Kadar,
Hungarian government and
party leader.
Summons Hartman
The Soviet leader seemed
eager to express publicly the
confidence he appeared to feel
about the negotiations. He
called Mr.. Hartman up to him
just as the American delega-
ton chief was leaving to at
tend a RusSian-American track
meet.
There was a great deal Of
gay banter, with Mr.. Hartman
and others taking part in the
! center of the big st. George
: reception hall Of the Kremlin.
: Then, according to the several
t ambassadors gathered around.
Mr.. Khrushchev said:
THE talks are going on well.
There have been no obstacles.
If they go on as they have, an
agreement is in sight"
Summit Talk Seen
Mr.. Khrushchev's offer yes
terday to ease cold war ten
Sions with a sweeping set of
war prevention proposals had
boosted speculation about the
possibility of an East-WeSt
summit conference.
He said at that time he
would like to see the agreement
include a ban on underground
explosions, but implied such a
pact may not be mediately
possible due to the impaSSe
over on-Site inspections.
Appearing in warm good
humor, Mr.. KhruShchev made
his proposals in a Commute
speech in the Kremlin's Con-
gress Hall at a meeting honor
ing Hungary's visiting Premier
and Communist Party Leader,
Janos Kadar. The 5000 persons
present repeatedly interrupted
him with applause and cheers.
Chances are Mr.. Khru-
shchev's proposals were among
topics discussed when Mr.. Har-
riman and Britain's Lord Hail
sham resumed their test ban
negotiations with Soviet off,
cials today.
