He warned that while nuclear weapons can destroy sources of supply and delivery systems, frontline troops could overrun allied territory if opposed on the ground and days of shortages follow.

Sen George hopeful for Geneva talks results
Senator Walter F George said he is very hopeful the Geneva Big Four conference will advance world peace. The Georgia Democrat, chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, spoke after a White House briefing with President Eisenhower and John Foster Dulles. The session preceded a gathering of 26 congressional leaders and Vice President Nixon to hear plans for the summit. George noted a satisfactory briefing and hoped for progress at Geneva. The committee may act on a resolution backing eventual independence of Communist satellites, introduced with Knowland and George as co sponsors, following last month’s vote rejecting a McCarthy demand to press the satellite question at Geneva.
