The Democratie U.S. presidential contender made the statement in relieraling that President Eisenhower could have expressed regret.

Mr Kennedy said in an interview on the NBC "To- day" television show that the summit might have been unsuccessful, in any case but that it had offered at least a chance to settle the Berlin crisis.

The senator said "we are on a 'collision course" da Berlin and that the questina of using force may arise it the Soviets press the issue.

Mr Kennedy said the West could not back down on its commitment to West Berlin should the Soviets at- tempi to cut the city off from the West.
