Ike Says Red Air Attacks Intended To Split Up Allies
President Eisenhower denounced Chinese Communist air assaults as part of a broader plan to divide the Western Allies. He defended rescue missions as legitimate and stated the U S will defend its rights in legitimate business. He pressed Congress on foreign aid, tax reform, farm policy, housing and social security. The atomic bill advanced in Senate after a lengthy debate, with House and Senate versions to be reconciled behind closed doors. The speech also touched on Suez, tariffs, and watch imports, warning a defense minded stance requires protecting skilled industries. He indicated no immediate decision on Western Germany sovereignty and noted issues with Switzerland over watch movements. He spoke of cooperation with Senator Cooper and opposed political rifts over the energy bill.
