Ike Warns Russia Against Trying To Force U.S. Into Summit Talks

By The ASSOCIATED Press

WASHINGTON, March 25--President Eisenhower warned Nikita Khrushchev today that the Soviet Premier can't order, bluff or blackmail him into attending a summit conference.

But Eisenhower by no means backtracked on a decision of the Western Allies to try to arrange such a chiefs-of-government meeting this summer, after a session of foreign ministers.

Eisenhower went along to a degree with the view of British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan that Khrushchev is the man with whom to try to do business on easing world tensions and solving the Berlin crisis.

He acknowledged to a news conference that only Khruschchev "has the authority really to negotiate" for the Kremlin.

Britain Will Sell Arms

LONDON, March 25--Britain is still willing to sell arms to Iraq despite Premier Abdel Karim Kassem's decision to pull his country out of the anti-Communist Baghdad Pact, a Foreign Office spokesman announced today.

Iraq's withdrawal from the pact means it no longer is entitled to military help help from the other members--Britain, Iran, Turkey, and Pakistan--in case it is attacked.

British informants said Iraq authorities have given assurance that Britain will not be ejected immediately from its Habbaniyah air base west of Baghdad. The British hope to negotiate an agreement keeping the base intact and giving them rights to fly over the oil fields.
