In return for what the Russians had insisted upon as a first agreement to establish diplomaite relations between the Soviet and West Chancellor says the Kremlin promised to return all Germans still held in the USSR.

Adenauer says that he did not abandon Military and economic tie-up with the west and that, indeed, the Russians did not demand this. The Russians have contended that these alliances were the chief barrier to German's unification, and it appears that no progress was made on the unification question during the Moscow meeting. Before returning to Bonn this morning, the West German Chancellor invited Soviet Premier Bulganin to visit him. The premier told Adenauer.

In Washington, State Department officials are said to take the attitude that Adenauer made the best bargain possible with the Soviet.
