The president told a television- tadio audience that serious ex- ploratory efforts in his Washing- ton talks with Khrushchev could lead to a Big Four summit con- ference.
Sincere preliminary efforts, Eisenhower said, “may reveal new opportunities for —practical progress toward removal of some of the causes of world tensions.”

The \president -said his talks with Khrushchev will not include any negotiation concerning’ sub- jects that relate directly to allied or other free world interests.
The president sounded a new appeal—against the background of criticism in some quarters of his invitation to Khrushchev—that Americans receive the Kremlin chief courteously.
The president said _ that Khbruchchev’s visit brings him some real appreciation of the American spirit and principles, “then indeed the venture w¢«

The former external affairs minister said there are “twe frightened blocks viewing the UN as a cold war battleground for political propaganda, instead of a place to seek solutions."
“And we have not been able— partly through the eold war—te organize peace and security im the UN.
“We based the UN Security Council on. the idea that the coun- tries in it could work together somehow. Well, they didn’t.”
ASSEMBLY EFFECTIVE
Hope then went to the General Assembly which, although not meant for that type of work, showed ‘it’ could be effective at the time of the Suez crisis by providing the policing of an armistice “in preventing @ © brush fire from becoming a gen- eral conflagration.”
“T hope we can build a super structure on'‘that, build a police force available when the UN wants to use it.”
Although there had been set- backs, he said, “the United Na- tions remains indispensable.’
“If the international picture w frightening, don’t blame the UN. . Tt reflects the tnternational pie- ture, and perhaps, if it didn't re flect it, the situation would be fag more dangerous than it is."
