For his apparent good-fellowship, he won applause on the luncheon circuit, handshakes from bankers and industrialists, cheers from many a columnist who should have known better. But when the U.S.S.R.'s First Deputy Premier Anastas Mikoyan got down to business in closed-door meetings with President Eisenhower and Secretary of State Dulles last week, he did not budge by so much as a santimetr from familiar Kremlin positions...

Rumors spread through Paris and Algiers that private talks are being carried on by the French with F.L.N. representatives.
