British Prime Minister Anthony Eden praised President Eisenhower's reply to Soviet Premier Bulganin's 20-year friendship pact proposal as admirable. Eden spoke aboard the Queen Elizabeth in New York before flying to Washington for three days of talks with Eisenhower and U.S. diplomats. Police guarded the pier as Eden and Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd arrived. Demonstrators linked to Brit Trumpeldor protested nearby.
