Stassen predicts eventual arms inspection deal with Russia
Harold E. Stassen told the 21st annual Southern Governors Conference that Russia may accept Eisenhower’s arms inspection plan. He said progress could occur at the Geneva foreign ministers meeting later this month as scientists on both sides understand the dangers of atomic war. If Russia agrees, the world gains time to pursue controls on atomic materials. The speech shifted focus from politics to disarmament amid governors’ doubts about Dixie coalition plans at the Democratic Convention.
