session of the conference, following up the session yester-
day when each of the four made a preliminary statement.
Shortly before the meeting convened Eisenhower indi-
cated he was not discouraged by the developments so far
despite what some American officials called the “nega-
tive" attitude of Soviet Premier Bulganin on the German
problem.
