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.
