...text of the latest message from the Kremlin, delivered to President Eisenhower and to the chiefs of other Western nations last week, set the world off on fresh speculation about a summit meeting. From Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko came an aide-mémoire agreeing to a pre-summit conference of foreign ministers-a condition once insisted upon by the U.S. but since dropped (TIME, Feb. 24). This foreign ministers' conference, Gromyko added, should handle the housekeeping details of the summit, i.e., time, place, agenda, and should be convened in April. Gromyko did not say whether the foreign...
Unerasable Smile. The caller was Mikhail Alekseevich Menshikov, Russia's new ambassador to the U.S. A foreign-trade specialist who persuasively sold the Soviet trade-plus-aid approach as ambassador to India, Envoy Menshikov, 55, is conspicuously suited to the Kremlin's peaceful-coexistence line. In black-and-white contrast to his dour, clam-mouthed predecessor, Georgy Zarubin, he flashes a wide and easy smile, spouts friendly sentiments in fluent English. Upon arrival in the U.S. a fortnight ago, he promptly declared himself an ambassador of "peace, friendship and cooperation." Last week he paid courtesy visits to Vice...
...shuffle of letters to Western chiefs of government and cocktail-party comments to Western diplomats, the Kremlin has been working hard to spread the notion that a parley at the summit is inevitable-on the Kremlin's terms.

When the U.S., anxious not to repeat the letdown of 1955's spirit of Geneva, insisted that points at issue be explored at the foreign minister or ambassadorial level before...
...months. New Hampshire's Republican Styles Bridges, bitter critic of Dulles on foreign aid, called him "the most principled and resolved statesman of the West." Montana Democrat Mike Mansfield, who needled Dulles unmercifully during last year's great debate on the Eisenhower Doctrine, now reminded the Kremlin that Dulles is "the Secretary of State of the United States of America." At his weekly press conference the President, questioned on Bulganin's crack about biased foreign ministers, got a laugh when he cracked right back that the Kremlin "must have been talking about Foreign Minister Gromyko...
...White House disposed of Bulganin's latest letter with a request for "further clarification." The State Department, addressing itself to the much-discussed let's-neutralize-Central-Europe proposals of Poland's Foreign Minister Adam Rapacki-since endorsed by the Kremlin as a suitable topic for the summit-warned all U.S. diplomatic missions overseas that such a plan is "extremely dangerous." Added the President at his press conference, in a definitive statement of policy on such neutralize-Europe agreements...
