Sitting across the table from the President of the U.S., Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev vented a bitter attack on the U.S. and on Dwight Eisenhower. He withdrew his invitation to the President to visit Russia next month. He demanded an apology for the U-2 flight, threatened to break up the summit conference unless the U.S. would promise to punish all responsible for the flight and promise that all such overflights cease. He suggested, in the kind of face to face insult that strained even cold war diplomacy, that the summit should be adjourned until the U.S. could elect...
Beamingly happy to be back among soldiers, Dwight Eisenhower spent a day at the Fort Benning, Ga. Army Infantry Center last week, watching a demonstration of new Army weapons and equipment undreamed of when he was Allied Supreme Commander in Europe during World War II. Most impressive...
Army brass hoped that Dwight Eisenhower would see his way to giving the Army more money to buy the new weapons. With most of the Defense Department's procurement money going into bombers, long-range missiles, air-defense systems and nuclear submarines over the past decade, U.S. infantry hardware has remained largely unchanged since the Korean war.

Reflecting the rise in U.S. prestige in a country once suspicious of American motives, the Times...
Father of two small children, Song is so taciturn that during the last stalemated months of the Korean war, he gave Dwight Eisenhower one of the shortest briefings in military history: "We are ready to attack the enemy-who is over there." Song is a passionate believer in civilian supremacy, argues that, "If the military take over, our democracy will go and our fight against Communism is vain." Late last week, when Acting President Huh offered to make him Defense Minister, Song flatly declined...
