Eisenhower Pleased Mr. Eisenhower told a group of officials in charge of the dis play "that he waa "very pleased" the United States had been able to establish the reactor In Gene va for the improvement of world scientific knowledge. The delegates to the summit conference are safe from atomic radiation because the American reactor is carefully shielded. Right now, an official said, it is ' operating on low power for test ing. Just 10 yean and a day be fore the Big Four convened, the first atomic bomb exploded in Mew Mexico. ' Since then, the bomb has figured prominently in world affairs and previous summit talks. Soviet Premier Nikolai Bul ganin announced a Russian turn about on the atom Monday.

Big Hotels Smashed Thousands of rioters looted and smashed two big hotels to day in Saigon on South Viet Nam's "day of national shame" but Mrs. Mesta, who inspired the musical comedy "Call Me Madame," talked them out of hurting her party. She said that the angry stu dent demonstrators started to break into her suite in the Ma jestic Hotel. She threw open the door and called: "No! We are your friends, we are Americans." "It was an ordeal I never want to experience again," Mrs. Mesta said. "It began about 9:15 a.m. and there was shooting and every thing," the famed Washington hostess said. "I talked to the students to prevent them from attacking us. It was not over until 11 a.m." Races Through Mob Mrs. Mesta, who is on a world tour, raced through the mob after an English speaking stu dent held back the crowd in the hotel.

ABBOTT Leads Being Checked Leads Checked Oul In Disappearance Of Berkeley Girl Berkeleyj Calif. U.R) Police said today they will have to check out "pertinent leads" turn ed up in the lie detector test of Burton W. Abbott before they can decide whether he was in volved in the disappearance of Stephanie Bryan. The two-day test came to an end yesterday, but acting Police Chief A. H. Fording declined im mediately to exonerate the 27 year-old accounting student. He issued a statement saying: Pertinent Leads ' "In connection with the poly graph examinations which have been conducted during the past two days, Inspector A. E. Riedel reports that from an investiga tive standpoint, the polygraph examinations have yielded a number of pertinent leads, which will require further develop ment. "Until these leads have been explored, a definite conclusion cannot be reached." No Major Misstatement However, it appeared likely that the lie detector had not caught Abbott in any major mis statement about his activities on April 28, the day the 14-year-old Stephanie disappeared while re turning home from school. Oth erwise he probably would have been jailed immediately. Fording said Riedel bad no immediate plans to question Ab bott further. Abbott, a frail Army veteran who has arrested tuberculosis, has been under almost constant questioning since Friday night. Mormons settled in Utah and chose that city as their capital in 1847. Planets are said to shine be cause they reflect the light of the sun.

Congress on Meeting the reports to Congress are about the same as those available to any avid American newspaper reader. Congressional leaders said there have been two main en couraging points in reports they have received so far on the Geneva meeting. One is the high degree of U.S.-British-French unity and the other is the appar ent continuing friendliness of the Soviets. Difficult Problems Ahead Sen. Walter F. George (D-Ga.), , chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations committee, said Tues day he feels "the whole confer ence has moved steadily in the direction of reasonableness." He described German reuni fication as "one of the difficult problems to be met" and said reunification will be difficult to achieve "without some serious concessions on our part." Before going to 'Geneva, the President called in congression al leaders and promised them full information on progress of the Big Four meeting. Mechanically speaking, the State department is receiving communications at all hours from U. S. delegation headquar ters in Geneva. They make up a good part of the volume of dis patches flowing into the diplo matic code room here around the clock. Work Starts Early Some State department offic ials roll out of bed at an extra early hour to start work on the daily summary of incoming cables, including the heavy load from Geneva. This process con tinues throughout the day. - Acting Secretary of State Her bert Hoover Jr., sits down at his State department desk about 8 a.m. to scan overnight reports from the President, Dulles and their Geneva helpers. So far this week, Vice-President Richard M. Nixon has been stopping off at Hoover's office about 8:15 ajn. for a briefing before going on to Capitol Hill. Nixon throughout the day has been passing on some informa tion informally to important congressional officials.
