Asks Summit Meeting The Soviet news agency said Khrushchev called for a summit meeting to help settle the dispute. "We would think a meeting on the highest level to be use ful," Khrushchev said. "The U.S. government must show restraint and must halt the realization of its pirate-like threats which may have the most serious consequences." Tass said Khrushchev told Russell: Understandins the cnmnlt- cated nature of the situation caused by the pirate activities of the American government, we cannot accept them in any form." The Soviet leader said if the .U.S. government "grossly dis regards and violates the inter national laws, then the ex tremely acute situation may get out of control and this may grow into a world war with all Its sad consequences lor tn,e peoples of all coun tries.' . , Tass said "That is why ef forts are now demanHprl nnt only on the part of the Soviet Union, the socialist countries and Cuba, but also by all states, all the peoples and all classes in order to prevent a war catastrophe."

Once the Americans have launched aggression, Tass quoted Khrushchev as saying, a mcetine of the hirheet 1pvi will become impossible and useless.
