Prime Minister Macmillan was expected to inform his 10 col- leagues of the contents of a letter from Bikita Khrushchev deliv- ered to him Monday. Handed over by Soviet Ambassador A. A. Soldatov, it was understood to deal with the summit meeting opening in Paris Monday. The conference also was sched- uled to continue discussions of constitutional developments in the Commonwealth -- Monday it unanimously decided to admit the West African colony of Nigeria when it becomes independent Oct. 1 The conference reached a stale- mate in a bid to work out an un- derstanding over South African race policies.
