Pres. Eisenhower's
Policy Speech
at.
New York, May 31. President Eisenhower said today that tempts to obtain the Soviet Union's co-operation in his plan for a world atomic energy pool had "not been productive of the results we seck."
Mr Eisenhower added in a speech at the 200th anniversary dinner of Columbia University the United States was continuing to consult on the plan with the other free nations involved.
"We intend to proceed with these and all other like negotiations, confident in the merits of our cause, realistic in our appraisals of Soviet intention, and assured that our purposes and hopes will survive even the most frustrating series of talks," he said.
The President said that every measure the United States had proposed had been conceived as a step to ward a rebirth of trust among all nations and that the proposals had

Russia and China proposed to today's ninth secret session of the Indo-China peace talks here that a neutral commission should supervise an Indo-China armistice, according to conference sources.
