In it Faure recounts the most dramatic move ments of the conference tells where he thinks it can move on to agree ment and expressed his hopes lor tne future. By WILBUR LANDREY United Presi Correspondent Paris UJ.PJ Premier Edgar Faure disclosed today that a last hour proposal by President Eis enhower broke' the deadlock in the Geneva summit conference and ensured its success. The French Premier also indi cated in an exclusive interview with the United Press that ne personally would now favor a T.it Five Conference on the Far East that would include Com munist China. Easy Progress Seen Faure summed up his impres sion of the historic meeting where he represented France at its first summit appearance with a prediction the Big Four for eign ministers could make easy when thev meet in Oc1 tober on improving East-West ntarts nerhaDS on disarma ment, too. Faum said the Geneva con ference "will mark the end of the cold war" in so far as it chnws a common will to settle international problems pacifi- He told of the dramatic last fiomnnn when the heads of governments themselves took over the conierence aeaaiutK. from their foreign ministers in a rpstricted session and reacnea the agreement that ended the weeklong meeting witn success. Smrit of Conference '"President Eisenhower said he was going to put an end to the discussion because the comer onca had to succeed, that he was Thus zoine to make a con cession, and that the important thing was to keep the spirit of the conference afterwards so that good results could be reach ed," Faure said. In response to questioning Faure added. "It permitted the settlement of the last difficulties. The concession concerned the wording of the last paragraph u-hirh we were still discussing." It presumably dealt with the argument over whether the dis cussion of European security or German unification would come first at the October meeting of foreign ministers. Russia wanted to discuss European security first, the "West wanted to discuss German unification. The final directive to the foreign minis ters linked them for parallel discussion. It may also have concerned the last minute argument over whether the foreign ministers or the United Nations disarmament commisison should handle the disarmament talks. Now both will. Enthusiastic Over Offer The Premier was enthusiastic about Mr. Eisenhower's offer to exchange military blueprints with Russia and allow mutual aerial reconaissance. "I consider this a very re markable Droiect." he said. "In realitv. if we want to make pro gress towards disarmament, it is first necessary to see mere is publicity. In addition, the pro posal was very striking in that it demonstrated the will for peace of the Western demo cracies and the desire to find rnnsrtuctive solutions to make disarmament uossible." Asked whether the time was now ODDortune for a Big Five Conference on the Far East with Communist China, Faure re died: "I cannot make an official declaration in the name of the Trench government. But I can sav that Eenerally speaking, I have always thought that direct contracts are useful. Faure was asked for a realistic appraisal on where progress could be expected from the foreign ministers on the lour subjects they will discuss in Oc tober German unification, European security, disarmament and East-West relations. Some Difficulty Seen "I think that progress can be made very- easily on the fourth question, contacts between East and West, and pretty easily on disarmament if everyone put pood will into it." he said. "I believe that it is more difficult to make progress on the two other questions which were linked, that is. the unification of Germany and the organization of European security." He warned that the German question would be the most dif ficult but that the foreign minis ters would be able to see more clearly in October after Chan cellor Konrad Adenauer's visit to Moscow. Faure said he and Russia were agreed that there should be a general security organization in I- yU Clean Up Proceeds On Fire Hydrants FOLLOWING "PARTY LINE" in barber chair, Vladimir Matskevich, Soviet's acting agricultural minister and mem ber of 12-man team inspecting America's farm centers, gets Moscow-style haircut in Ames, la.

A brief ceremony in Moscow put the Austrian state treaty into effect. This signalled the re birth of independence for this little nation of 7,000,000 persons.

Magazine Paints Sad Picture of Steel Industry New York (U.R) The Iron Age today painted a sad picture of the nation's steel industry an industry with orders piled mountain high and no way to speed production to catch up and satisfy the customers. "Customers relations in steel are at a low ebb," said the na tional metalworking weekly "Consumer complaints over deliveries and allotments have steel sales executives hanging on the ropes. Top-level customers are knocking at the door to make a bid for their share of j available steel. It all started with a short strike in the industry July 1 That one-day shutdown set back production, and brought the sit uation to a head. Available Supply Cut Then came the railroads building program "now gather ing a full head of steam." This has cut into the available supply of plates, sheets, and structurals already in urgent demand from other customers. "Furthermore." Iron Age adds, "railroad buying will ex tend well into 1956 at a high level. A heavy car repair sched ule is addine to the problem." The magazine finds that the industry with incoming orders j running as much as 20 per cent above capacity at some of the laree mills is finding it hard to maintain ingot production. Ac tual production, Iron Age says, has been falling behind esti mates since the strike ended Chicago to Honor 300th Anniversary of Cowboy Chicago (U.P.)
