Geneva Parley Opens After Soviet Delay The pre-summit meeting of foreign ministers in Geneva, Switzerland, formally opens after a delay of hours caused by the Soviet demand that East Germany be recognized as a bargaining equal. The impasse is resolved by a delicate balance of protocol, and talks on the problem of Germany begin. Men de-plane (Russian letters on the plane). Many newsreel cameras in a row. Man (Gromyko?) at microphones. Press photographers snap away at U.S. Secretary of State Herter (?), in bow tie. 5 men, Herter among them, pose for journalists.
