Britain Seeks To
Save Conference
Following Insults
PARIS - (UPI) - Britain made
a last-ditch attempt Monday night
to salvage the summit conference,
torpedoed at the start by Nikita
Khrushchev's cancellation of Presi-
dent Eisenhower's Russian trip and
a bald suggestion to the President's
face that he preferred to do busi-
ness with his successor.
Prime Minister Harold Macmillan
assumed the role of peacemaker as
reports from usually reliable sources
circulated here that Khrushchev
has ordered his plane to be ready
to fly back to Moscow Tuesday.
There was no immediate indication
of Macmillan's success or failure.
However, reliable British sources
said there would be further con-
tact with Khrushchev. They

Macmillan
would
meet
with
Khrushchev again Tuesday after the
big three Western leaders' get-to-
gether at 10 a. m. 5 a. m. e.d.t.
Reports, which could not be con-
firmed officially, said that members
of the Soviet plane crew told French
officials when they flew in Satur-
day that they would be returning
to Moscow on Tuesday.
Eisenhower was openly angered
and somewhat disgusted at Khru-
shchev's tirade. He charged the
Soviet Premier had come to Paris
only to "sabotage" the meeting.
Macmillan conferred with Khru-
shchev for almost one and a half
hours at the Soviet Embassy Mon-
day night.
British Prime
Minister Harold
Macmillan issued a public state-
ment urging that the talks continue
and held separate conferences
through the afternoon and night
with Eisenhower, French President
Charles de Gaulle and, finally,
Khrushchev. Macmillan obviously
had assumed the role of peacemak-
er.
Eisenhower left his plans in abey-
ace and had not yet decided whe-
ther to try to continue the confer-
ence or go home, although he said
he preferred to remain in Paris.
The Western Big Three scheduled
a meeting Tuesday morning but a
