Eisenhower says US did not incite Korean riots
President Eisenhower insisted the United States played no part in inciting the riotous demonstrations that toppled President Syngman Rhee. He said his only involvement was noting irregularities in the Korean elections and supporting a peaceful resolution while deploring violence. He defended Rhee as a great patriot but acknowledged mistakes as he plans a June visit to Korea. He also addressed religion in campaigns, reaffirming no religious test for office and the Constitution's protection of freedom of exercise. A health insurance plan for the aged was discussed, with opposition to a compulsory program raising Social Security taxes and a planned message to Congress delayed pending agreement on details.
