Mikoyan have agreed that the United States and the Soviet Union will continue negotiations for a final settlement of the Cuban crisis.

But their lengthy White House conference failed to yield any evidence of progress toward agreement on other critical Fast -We-, issues. The President and Mikoyan met for more than three hours late Thursday. U.S. officials had hoped the meeting would produce dence of change in Soviet policies on arms control, or other global problems, in the wake of the crisis over Cuba. In this hope, they were apparently disappointed.

White House sources said that from the U.S point of view meeting did not provide any surprises that Mikoyan's discussion of Soviet policies produced nothing of a new or ddfeient character Mikoyan, who just spent three weeks in Cuba, told reporters a- he left the President's office shortly before 8 o'clock Thursday night: We had an exchange of views with the President on questions of interest to both our countries, chiefly about Cuba. As a result of this conversation, we agreed to issue certain instructions to our representatives in New Yoik we to our negotiators, and the President will instruct their negotiators to continue negotiations to finally settle the Cuban question. Pierre Salinger. White House press secretary, said the two men had agreed that, as a followup of this meeting, the comersaMors would continue in New York between Ambassador Stevenson, McCloy and Mr. Kuznetsov.

Ambassador Adlai E. Stevenson and John J. McCloy have been negotiating with Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Vasily V. Kuznetsov for several weeks on specific problems involved in easing the U.S.-Soviet confrontation over the -'nstallation of Soviet offensive ies in Cuba. While no details of the conversation were made public, Kennedy presumably emphasized to Mikoyan two main points about the U.S.

Strauss announcement, at the close of a four-hour meeting with leaders of his party here, cleared away a major obstacle in the building of a new government. Adenauer's coalition partners, the Free Democrats, had demanded that Strauss be removed from the Cabinet following his controversial role in the Der Spiegel affair before they would reenter the coalition. Strauss had been widely eriii-cized for having a hand in the arrest of the publisher and editors of Der Spiegel, a new-s magazine that had frequently assailed him.

Andrews said he killed his family to inherit a 240-acre farm and his fathers $1,800 savings. Andrews showed little interest in his trial and in the efforts of Ahrens and Richard Allen, both law professors at Washburn University in Topeka, who obtained 'hree stays of execution in the 'ast two years. 1 "I am not sorry and I am not glad," Andrews said once of the rime.
