1 Premier Nikita Khruahchev’a
' abrupt rejection of Western plana
for an East-West foreign minis*
ters' conference chilled hopes ta*
day for success of the Macmillan
mission to Moscow and may have
brought a major Berlin crisis •
step nearer.
British Prime Minister Harold
Macmillan was meeting Khrush-
chev again today at Khrushchev's
villa 60 miles from Moscow but
the previous atmosphere of cordi-
ality turned to one of shocked
surprise on the part of the Brit*
ish.
Allied planning to meet a pos-
sible Communist blockade of Ber-
lin took on a new sense of urgen-
cy but American officials hoped
Khrushchev’s statements would
be followed by a "reasoned re-
ply” to their request for a Big
Four meeting to settle the Ger-
man probleem.
Addresses Political Hally
Khrushchev spoke to a political
rally of his constituents in the
Grand Palace of the Kremlin. His
statements were made while Mac-
millan was visiting a nuclear cen-
ter 90 miles away, and political
sources in Paris called his action
unprecedented in East-West rela-
tions.
Further American and French
reaction was expected later today.
President Eisenhower was holding
a press conference and President
Charles de Gaulle called a cabinet
session to discuss the mounting
crisis.
In Moscow the British were ma-
king no official statements, but it
was clear the Khrushchev speech
had cast doubt on the success of
Macmillan's mission just when the
British believed the mission waa
