Dulles Gives Moscow Free Hand To Deal With Satellite Trouble
UP TO RUSSIA TO PREVENT
ANTI-SOVIET HOSTILITY
by ROSS MARK
Washington, Dec. 18.
The American Secretary of State, Mr John Foster Dulles, today gave the Soviet Union an extraordinary as- surance that the United States would not aggravate Moscow's troubles in rebellious East Europe.
In his first full-scale press conference since his operation for stomach cancer six weeks ago, Mr Dulles used replies to several varied questions to provide the Soviet Union with manoeuvring room for deal- ing with problems in Hungary, Poland and other fractious sections of East Europe.
