4.50. Herter Says
Conference
Not Failure
GENEVA UIPD Secretary of
SUitc Ch-istian A. Herter flew
home today, convinced that the
10-week foreign ministers' confer
ence here had eased the Commu
nist threat to West Berlin.
Herter made no formal state
ment before his converted Boeing
707 jetliner took off for Washing
ton ut 4:20 a.m. e.d.t., but he is
known to feel that the Russians
have tacitly withdrawn their Ber
lin ultimatum.
Foreign Minister Andrei Gro
myko. whose turboprop IL-18 left
for Moscow , 13 minutes before
llcrter's departure, read a part
ing speech which said the confer
ence "performed useful and not
inconsiderable work" and ex
pressed hope that ftrther negoti
ations might produce more tangi
ble results.
Gromyko also said the coming
exchange of visits between Presi
dent Eisenhower and Premier Ni
kita Khrushchev proves "the cli
mute of international relations is
getting markedly warmer and
better."
Herter Is scheduled to land in
Washington at 4:30 p.m. e.d.t.
with first-hand information about
the tentative agreement on new
disarmament talks which saved
the foreign ministers' conference
from total failure.
Foreign Minister Maurice Couve
de Mum lie leaves for home later
today. .
Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd
returned to London . Wednesday
night.
A mildly-worded communique
closing the conference said it had
brought the foreign ministers
closer together on "certain
points," but did not say what
thty were.
Although the official announce
ment said only that the results
of the exchange would be an
nounced after "appropriate con
sultations." conference sources
said the foreign ministers actual
ly had agreed to renew the arms
talks broken off two years ago.
