Red Trade Need Seen by Cleveland Industrialist Eaton
Cyrus S Eaton, 81, plans a visit to the Soviet Union next spring to discuss changing tensions. In a prebirthday interview at Terminal Tower he urged expanding U.S. trade with all nations as a path to world stability, warned against nuclear war, and voiced concern over Britain's finances and the idea of arming merchant ships with missiles. He dismissed Khrushchev’s ouster as part of a partial leadership shakeup and argued economic strength matters more than military power. He remains active, healthy, and engaged in skiing and riding.
