Eisenhowers disarmament push faces wary response
President Eisenhower urged Soviet Premier Bulganin to join Western powers in crafting a world disarmament system aimed at controlling the nuclear threat. He said the United States would consider safe arrangements to prevent atomic materials from enlarging stockpiles of explosive weapons, noting the note was delivered after radio delays. The statement followed Bulganin's request for a friendship treaty and referenced earlier notes in January and February. Meanwhile Ben Gurion warned Parliament that only the Soviets and Americans can avert war in the Middle East, while King Saud travelled to Chile for talks with Nasser and Kuwaiti leaders on regional security. British and Arab forces clashed over Cyprus, with Britain recalling officers from the Arab Legion and Athens halting broadcasts in Cyprus, amid escalating tensions in the region.
