Governors On Problems At Washington Dinner Meeting
President Eisenhower hosted a dinner for state and territorial governors to open two days of closed briefings on major government issues including Indochina, Southeast Asia, foreign affairs, civil defense, taxes, and the national economy. Separate sessions discussed coal, dust storms, and drought relief with leaders like John L. Lewis, Pennsylvanian Gov. Fine, and Interior Secretary McKay. A later plan forms a permanent governors committee on fuels and a national fuel policy to balance coal strength with oil use while preserving military needs. A Siberian meteorite swarm was heard across nearly 1900 miles.
