Dulles rejects Reds proposal on space control
Secretary of State Dulles rejected Moscow's demand to link outer space control with removal of American overseas bomber bases calling the plan not very acceptable in its present form. He said the Soviets mix unrelated issues and accused them of attaching impossible conditions to derail the idea. He noted President Eisenhower has proposed a peaceful international space pact and tied the exchange to Propaganda debates with Senators Johnson and Mansfield. The Soviet envoy Menshikov called visit routine as talks were brief and continued later on page six.
