But the call never came. Western diplomats had ex- pected a speedy summit reply following Premier Khrushchev's secret weekend meeting with the Chinese Communist head of state, Mao Tse-Tung. The delay in ans- wering the latest Western notes is in sharp contrast with Soviet policy late last month, when notes to the West followed each other in rapid succession. Western observers suggest that the Soviet Union and China are looking for a formula which will satisfy East European and Asian hopes for a more generalized set- They also feel Washington and London may expect a stiffening Soviet attitude towards the sum- mit, in view of the apparent 11th- hour postponement.

Some sources raised the pos- sibility that the Kremlin's new line on a summit conference may be voiced first by Arkady Sobo- lev, Russia's delegate to the United Nations, in UN discus- sions on the composition, time and place of a summit meeting. Khrushchey and Mao presum- ably spent much of their time co - ordinating Communist policy for the big-power meeting. In Warsaw, the Polish Commu- nist party newspaper Trybuna Ludu says that if a summit con- ference materializes Russia will speak on behalf of both the Soviet bloc and Communist China. The newspaper predicts that the talks between Khrushchev and Mao may tip the scale in favor of the four- or five-powet meeting originally proposed by the Soviet Union, partly because it would stand a better chance of success than a conference within the United Nations Security Coun ject to Nationalist China attend- Dulles Jeered B Brazil Students de J. ¢ RIO SANEIRO. tA Brazil's "ieaders handful United States foreign welcome briefly with jeers and a "Go Home" banner.

Dulles said on arrival Monday that he would talk about the world situation and inter-American re- lations with speciai attention to economic. problems. The Brazilians were most in- terested in what Dulles would have to say about coffee, their chief export crop, and U.S. aid in developing Brazilian oil re- sources.
