It was assumed he was return ing to Moscow, although no one would say specifically just where he was going. Reliable sources said Khru shchev carried with him the signatures of live East Euro pean Communist leaders on a document supporting his peaceful coexistence theme. Khrushchev's stay in Buch arest was extraordinary. He flew in a week ago Saturday, without advance fanfare, for the opening of the Romanian party congress. He was expect ed at first to stay only over the week end but he remain ed until today. . Western experts in London said such a document most likely would be used to back up Khrushchev in his cur rent ideological wrangle with ea Minnas Mao ise-iung, who supports a "hard line" in the Cold War. The formal signing of the new declaration, according to reliable sources here, was the chief result of the Russian premier's 1 week-long summit meeting with the Communist chiefs of Romania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, East Germany and Poland. . The importance which Khrushchev attached to these secret talks was demonstrated by the fact he stayed over Sunday for one last session, rather than flying off to Mos cow as expected.

Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson said today the Sen ate foreign relations commit tee report on the U2 spy plane episode and the summit col lapse should prevent "the rep etition of mistakes" in the fu ture.

Johnson said 'The Ameri can people now have a basis for judgment-judgment on how to avoid a repetition of mistakes. I hope we can pro ceed on the basis of that judg ment to insure greater coordi. nation between our agencies. Meanwhile, Chairman J. William Fulbright (D-Ark.) of the committee was working on a speech to outline his own views on the U2 affair and the summit collapse. Fulbright, who worked to get out a re port that most members could sign, said earlier he felt the document was "very soft in its criticisms." To Outline Own Views Fulbright termed the re port, issued Saturday night, a "very thorough factual ac count" but he said it was overly moderate and failed to deal strongly enough with some of the most important issues. Nevertheless, he said, it was the best report on which a ma jority of the committee could agree. Fullbright said he ex pected to outline his own views in a Senate speech within the next day or so. The report, signed by 14 of the committee's 17 members, accused the Eisenhower ad ministration of mishandling the spy plane incident at al most every important point. fireftroughl Under Control A forest fire about two miles southwest of Selma in the Illinois Valley area, was brought under control late Sunday evening after-burning between 30 and 40 acres of logged over land.

Entire Communist Bloc Takes Walk To Halt Hearing Conference Thrown Into Angry Turmoil Geneva -fUPD- Russia and its Communist satellites abrupt ly walked out of the 10-nation disarmament conference to day in an obviously rehearsed maneuver which blocked hear- ng of new western proposals and threw the parley into an gry turmoil. Chief Soviet delegate Vale rian Zorin and the entire Com munist bloc stalked from the meeting room vowing to place the whole issue before the United Nations General As sembly as French Ambassador Jules Moch shouted "Hood- umism! h o o d I i mism!" at them. The western powers promptly denounced the Com munists' move, continued with the day's session and announc ed another meeting of the con ference for Tuesday morning, which the Reds clearly did not plan to attend. Reds Plan to Leave A Soviet delegation official said all the Communist dele gation members were trying to get reservations to leave Geneva by Wednesday. A Ro manian spokesman confirmed this. It was considered prob able that Zorin would hold a news conference before he left. Zorin, the same man who broke up the last East-West disarmament conference In London in August, 1957, got the floor first. He announced that the western powers had refused to discuss disarma ment, and therefore Moscow considered this conference could do no more work. Polic Deputy Foreign Min ister Marian Naszkowski, to day's chairman, ignored re peated western attempts orally and in writing to get the floor, and announced when Zorin was finished: "The work of this commis sion is now discontinued, its role therefore now exhaust ed." Moch leaped his his feet, roaring: "I want the floor! I want the floor!" British Minister of State David Ormsby-Gore, who also was on his feet trying to get the floor, moved to the head of the table as the Communist group disappeared through the door, and took over the chairmanship Deplore Red Walkout Chief U. S. delegate Fred rick M. Eaton, who returned from Washington with new American proposals Sunday, then led off a round of wes tern speeches deploring tha Red walkout and warning that the world would be tha best judge of the Soviet ac tion. "This is a bad monment," Eaton said. "The Soviets havt shown their true motives." Zorin mide his move to wreck this conference with the same abruptness and ar rgance as Soviet Premier Ni kita Khrushchev wrecked tha Paris summit meeting in May. He did so despite the fact that only moments before to day's session Eaton had told the western powers were about finished with their con sultations on a new plan and would try to present it this week. .
