Eisenhower Pushes Moderation on Integration and Farm Policy
President Eisenhower urged patience on school integration, stressing deep emotions and progress with all deliberate speed. He warned against viewing the issue as splitting Americans, called for understanding, and noted the Montgomery boycott case amid renewed concern about Southern race relations.
