Dulles Sees Quiet Change in Soviet Regime
Secretary of State Dulles reported encouraging signs in Soviet behavior at a news conference. He warned it is too soon to say whether the regime will become more responsive to the people or slip back to Stalinist dictatorship. He cited Khrushchev’s revelations as possibly signaling a shift, while noting risks the purpose may be to appease subjects. Dulles said reports of greater worker job choice may reflect a move toward a government listening to the governed, but the future course remains uncertain.
