Eisenhower demands proof of good faith before Reds parley
President Eisenhower said he has no objection to a conference of top leaders of the major powers but wants evidence of Soviet good faith first. He noted no proof yet and indicated impatience, yet he remains open to peace efforts. He announced plans for a nationwide radio address on budget and tax security and a later TV report. He defended new Joint Chiefs of Staff changes as not criticizing outgoing leaders, supported Senate pay raises, and urged strong local control over power projects like Hell's Canyon. He urged Hawaii statehood be considered separately from Alaska.
