A State Department spokesman said the conferees would hold two more sessions this week, and may con- tinue the talks into next week.·· The only official report on the meeting said it dealt with "matters of mutual interest in the atomic field”.

The State Department said the current talks were a continuation of the three-power uranium conferences held secretly 18 months ago. The chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission, David Lilienthal, refused to discuss them at a press conference, saying it was up to the State Department to make any announcements.-- United Press,
