West See Eye To Eye
Washington, July 13. Mr John Foster Dulles, the Secretary of State, left here tonight by air for Paris after a last-minute talk with President Eisen- hower about next week's Big Four conference.

He said the Western allies "see eye to eye" on matters likely to come up at Geneva, New York, July 18. But the conference "will be a A helicopter crashed and beginning and not an end."
