Dulles Attacks Soviet Suez Propaganda and Nasser Talks
Secretary of State Dulles accused the Soviet Union of waging a vicious propaganda campaign to block a fair Suez settlement with Egypt. He praised President Nasser's influence to accept a reasonable plan and noted global support for international control proposed by a U.S.-led coalition. Against Moscow’s effort to sow turmoil, Dulles urged direct talks without slogans while U.S. and allied plans faced Arabic broadcasts accusing imperialism and colonialism. In Dallas and Tarrant counties Yarborough’s vote efforts faced a legal pause as Dallas County canvassing was halted by a judge’s order.
