Western diplomats in the air- port reception group saw in the| visit an opportunity for a session with President Eisenhower and understood he would entertain all the visiting dignitaries at a White House dinner. They had no direct word from {the White - House, but said they had received indications Eisen- hower has decided to see the group jointly. First of today's contingent was |Gromyko.

He said the Geneva East-West talks have "made only small progress." | "It is my hope that in the nego-| tiating sessions that lie ahead| sufficient progress can be made to justify the United States i going to a summit conference, he said. While noting the small progress, Herter added: | "It is possible, however, that| each. side now has a better idea of the other's thinking." TRIBUTE TO DULLES | Lloyd steered clear of world politics. "It is sad that the occasion for {this visit to Washington should be the funeral of my friend and col- league, John Foster Dulles," the foreign secretary said, and added: i "I came on behalf of the gov- ernment of the United Kingdom to pay our tribute to a great man, a fine man; and to extend our|! 40 heartfelt sympathy to Mrs. Dul- les, the family and the ASHjoan Jeopie.
