Dulles Says Summit Price Too High for Talks
Secretary of State Dulles warned the United States would lose its shirt if it agreed to a summit at the high price demanded by Russia. Moscow’s latest note hardened the deadlock, making a heads of government meeting unlikely. Officials said the note would turn any summit into a spectacle rather than a decision making event. The United States favors diplomacy through channels and possibly a foreign ministers meeting, while Moscow wants high level talks without prior preparations. Khrushchev is cited as tying his image to world peace, using a summit to amplify his stance even without an agreement.
