The United States expels three Russian officials for “espionage and improper

activities” and the Soviets retaliate by ousting two Americans from Moscow says

the State Department. Says a spokesman: “I am sure that the evidence was

conclusive. We got the goods on them and out they went.”

Just returning from the United States, Prime Minister

foreign policy disputes with President Eisenhower, but

emphasized “nothing comes before the true and lasting

friendship between Britain and the United States.” He’ll meet

with the British Cabinet right away to discuss his meetings

with President Eisenhower. “We hoped to be judged not only

by the immediate reception of our efforts, but also by their

influence on the future course of events and, after all, nothing

comes before the true and lasting friendship between Britain

and the United States... But I can tell you I am sure that by trying our best in the

United States to make good understandings and solid agreements possible

between us we have not entirely failed, but it would be a mistake to thing

everything can happen all at once.”

President Eisenhower declares that he is “completely and unalterably opposed,

under the present situation, to the admission of Red China into the United

Nations.” The President said the possibility of Red China’s admission raised “a

moral question” and that he will fight to the last to prevent the United States’

stand from being overridden.
