WASHINGTON. (AP) — Pres-
ident Eisenhower ‘will propose
that he and Soviet Premier
Khrushchev: and other govern-
ment heads discuss the Middle
East crisis at a. United Nations
Security Council meeting ‘some-
time around Aug. 10 to 16.

The White House: announced
late Tuesday that Eisenhower is
drafting a shert reply to Khrush-
chev’s latest summit conference
proposal.

An authoritative U.S. official
familiar with Eisenhower’s think-
ing made these disclosures about
the reply:

Eisenhower regards United Na-
tions headquarters in New York
City as a reasonable and logical
site for the proposed. suminit
talks but would be prepared to
accept another meeting place if
the 1l-nation Security Council
preferred.

Eisenhower will rule out Mos-

leow as a possible site, however.

The President believes that pri-
vate, informal conferences be-
tween the big-power heads of go-
ernment would be an inevitable
corollary of any formal summit
session under UN auspices.

BIG POWER CONCEPT

ApemnOWet intends to. reject
cifically, . in his forthcoming
note to Khrushchev, what he re-

gards as a Soviet concept of big
power control of the world.

Bisenhower plans to. attend any
such conference personally.

White ‘House press: secretary
James C. Hagerty, indefinite as
to just when Eisenhower will send
his note to Khrushchev, said to-
day would be the earliest pos-
sible. delivery time.

The new message will respond
to Khrushchev’s demand for a
clear answer to his.own call Mon-
day for a fivepower summit
meeting.

The state department was re-
ported ready to begin quick con-
Sultations with the British and
French governments and other
U.S. allies: on ‘its proposed letter

NOT FINAL: WORD

_ Khrushchev’s sharply - worded

some authorities as not ruling out
finally the possibility he would
come to New York for a Secur-
ity Council session.

Khrushchev’s bitter -objections
might be aimed, they said, at win-
ning the best possible terms for
such a session. There was spec-
ulation he might want a promise
that informal discussions could go

Eisenhower, however, in two
