Eisenhower Says Berlin Stand Fails to Offer Peace Hope
President Eisenhower spoke at a news conference about Khrushchev's rejection of a Western proposal for a Berlin conference. He called the Soviet leader's position intransigent and illogical, saying it offers little promise for a just peace and that the United States will not yield on Allied rights in Berlin. The remarks followed Khrushchev's stance just as Prime Minister Macmillan was abroad in Moscow. The briefing also touched on John Foster Dulles and questions of his fitness to continue as secretary of state.
