Khrushchev Presses Bid to Extend Geneva Parley
In Geneva on June 19 the Big Four foreign ministers ended a session but agreed to reconvene July 13 to pursue a peace settlement. Khrushchev offered to drop the Berlin time limit if East and West Germany receive equal rights in a treaty, while Western ministers called the plan no new hope. Gromyko presented a formal Soviet proposal in a secret session as Khrushchev spoke. Western spokesmen said the Soviet position offered no basis for discussion.
