Adlai Declines Paris NATO Talks Invitation
Adlai E. Stevenson, a Democratic adviser to the Eisenhower administration, announced he will not attend the December 16 NATO meeting in Paris. He said he would lack authority to shape policy, risking unity and risking misleading friends at home and abroad. He cited differences with Eisenhower proposals and his own need not to speak for a policy he cannot commit to. The decision followed a briefing with Republican and Democratic congressional leaders. Stevenson had earlier said he might wait 1 to 2 weeks before deciding.
