Big Three Send Separate Notes In Favor of Summit Conference; Chiang Supports Revolt in Tibet

WASHINGTON, March 26--Britain, France, and the United States laid down differently worded conditions today for a summit conference with Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev.

President Eisenhower took a middle-ground approach, saying the United States would be prepared to go into a Big Four heads of government meeting on the understanding that "constructive proposals" had been prepared beforehand by a foreign ministers meeting.

President Charles de Gaulle of France agreed to a summit conference only after "genuine progress" had been made at a foreign ministers meeting.

Macmilian's note to the Kremlin on the other hand said the British would be glad to take part in a summit conference "as soon as developments in the foreign ministers meeting warrant."
