Also in the group was Scott McLeod, State De partment security chief whom the law makes over-all administrator of the law for admission of 214,000 refugees to the lUnited States by the end of 1956. The announcement said Gerety will serve under McLeod but will have "complete authority and re sponsibility for the operation of the refugee program." McLeod's performance in the refugee relief job has been under fire from congressional proponents of a more liberal immigration pol icy. He was a chief target of bitter criticism voiced by Edward J. Corsi, prominent New York Re publican who was ou?td in Aoril from a .job carrying the same "deputy administrator" title now given to Gerety.

S. embas sies Reporters were summoned to tti Foreign Ministry for a reading of the contents of the .note oy Leonid F. Ilyichev, chief of the ministry's press department.

S. secretary of state as saying that he would bring up the problems of the c intries of Eastern Europe and the activities of international communism. Tb Tass statement left no doubt that the Soviet Union would tefuse to agree to this. It also quolcu him as saying that the success of the Big Four parley at the summit would depend on whether the S o v i t Union would refuse to agree to this. It also quoted him s saying that the success of the 'Jig Four parley at the summit wouH depend on whether the Soviet Ui:ion was ready to manifest a "new con structive spirit." Tass said qualified Soviet circles felt Dulles was "treating tne forth coming conference of the heads of government from tbe noiouous pol icy of the position of strength and as if its success depended on the action of the Soviet government." "This can only prove that his ef forts aim not at faciluiting the conference," Tass. said, "but at creating handicaps for the aim of the conference, which is the relax ation of international tension." At the news conference, ihe Sovi et spokesman reiterated that- the Russian intention in Big F 'ur talks would be to "lessen international confidence among nations." County Budget Given .
