McCarthy Abandons Demand for Access Clearances

Senator McCarthy said he would stop asking the Pentagon to clear his aides for secret information after the Defense Department refused to clear Thomas W. Lavienia for classified documents. Lavienia, defending the FBI based concerns, said a 1943 Secret Service role in probing a plot against Franklin D. Roosevelt led to the denial. The panel kept Lavienia on staff in a limited role pending clearance.

Dulles Sees Peace in Indochina Shaping Cold War

Secretary of State Dulles outlined two core conclusions after the Geneva Indochina settlement. The United States and allies can act quickly to prevent Communist conquest in broader Asia, using military, political, and economic measures. He warned Russian proposals for broader settlements are propaganda and that the Indochina settlement reflects military realities. Dulles urged focusing on future opportunities to stop northern Viet Nam from expanding communism, while criticizing Soviet cooperation as negative and noting failed East-West disarmament talks.
