Washington May 21 U S diplomats voiced fatigue with the so called phony peace in the cold war era. After twenty days of chaotic diplomacy the East West bickering continues unrestrained. The Soviet news agency declared Washington’s attitude unsatisfactory and offered no hope for settlement. Diplomats said they are back to square one with no progress from Moscow.
