Truman Rejects Plea for Reds Back Atom Ban
President Truman rejected any new appeal to Russia or changes in U S policy on the atom bomb and hydrogen bomb. He said U S peace policies with Soviet cooperation would suffice and dismissed dramatic shifts in policy as unnecessary. Secretary Acheson similarly ruled out an international energy group and cautioned no need for a government appointed panel. The news conference covered foreign policy and pressure on coal seizure proposals amid ongoing strikes.
