Eisenhower rejects 48 hour Cuba ultimatum idea
President Eisenhower told a White House news conference he will not act recklessly to free Americans held by Fidel Castro rebels. He rebuffed a 48 hour ultimatum proposal from Senate GOP Leader Knowland and said the United States pursues release through peaceful means while preparing possible actions if necessary. He cited the Cuba case distinct from East Germany and warned against hostage tactics, stressing ongoing efforts and constitutional limits. The president also touched on federal deficits, civil rights duties, and Ottawa talks with Canada, framing communism as the primary external threat.
