(UPI) The 17 participating nations decided today to resume disarmament negotiations at Geneva next Jan. 21. The Geneva arms talks first went into session on March 14, 1962, and have been carried on sporadically since.

Originally scheduled as an 18-natipn conference, with six countries participating from each of the Communist, Western and non-committed groups, the negotiations were boycotted by France from the start.

Both wives waited outside the emergency room of the hospital. Anxious members of the White House staff assembled. The President had landed only a short time before at Dallas' Love Field and was driving to the Trade Mart to deliver a luncheon speech. The streets were lined by crowds, the biggest turnout of the Texas tour. Both the body and glass bubble of the car are proof against most gunfire, but the top was down so the President could wave to the crowds.

It was also difficult to determine immediately whether the First Lady and Mrs. Connally were injured.

Mrs. Kennedy was on her knees on the floor of the rear seat with her head toward the President Vice President Lyndon B.

Johnson was in a car behind the President's. There was no immediate sign that he was hurt In fact, there was no evidence at all at what might have happened to Johnson since only the President's car and its Secret Service follow-up car went to the hospital.

A second priest was escorted in a few moments later. At the height of the emergency room drama, a weeping Negro woman bearing a small bloody child rushed into the hospital, where a nurse and an intern went quickly to her side. Mrs Kennedy apparently was safe, Mrs. Connally also was safe, it appeared. Both women were stunned.
