Ike Wants Hearings To Continue
President Eisenhower urged the continuation of the McCarthy Army hearings while denying any intent to withdraw the secrecy order on the related White House conference. He said the order should not derail the inquiry and insisted all facts be exposed, with both sides given a full chance to state their case. He criticized a report of Army charges as not approved by the White House and touched on Guatemala arms shipments and an anti-Communist resolution at Caracas. He declined to advise on public school segregation and outlined criteria for a TVA chairman while noting Clapp’s term ended. He suggested a Southeast Asia unity goal without Britain, dependent on regional partners, and said he is studying options for peaceful atomic cooperation.
