...lectern, the beetle-browed Secretary put aside his crutches (arthritis), leaned against the edge of a stool and faced 50 newsmen. In a precisely timed half-hour, they asked 39 questions ranging across U.S. policy from the Communist threat in Cuba (see HEMISPHERE) to highly technical details of East-West nuclear test-ban negotiations in Geneva, to the likely impact of U.S. weather satellite Tiros 1 on the legal status of outer space.

Herter decided that an official statement of U.S. disarmament goals was urgently needed to clear up confusion both in the U.S. and abroad. Last week, after consulting with President Eisenhower, Herter set forth those goals in a major policy speech to Washington's National Press Club.
