World sees easing tensions and Soviet liberalization
Secretary of State John Foster Dulles told a Senate panel that the Iron Curtain is crumbling and war fears are receding as a mellowing process appears in the Soviet Union. He urged cultural and economic means to accelerate the trend amid broader Cold War context. Agricultural chief Ezra Taft Benson scheduled a nationwide wheat referendum for July 20 to decide quotas on 1957 crops with a 55 million acre cap and eligibility to vote for farmers with over 15 acres. Atomic chief Lewis Strauss forecast U S power plants nationwide after 1960 and urged a $500 million nuclear insurance program to spur private buildout. South Korean President Syngman Rhee claimed victory in recent bid.
