A polite Eisenhower nudge brought an agreement from France's President Charles de Gaulle to a pre-summit meeting of Western chiefs of state (Eisenhower, De Gaulle, Britain's Macmillan, West Germany's Adenauer) on Dec. 19 in Paris (see FOREIGN NEWS). Beyond that lay a summit conference with Khrushchev next spring. Between the Western meeting and the long-heralded summit, Ike planned to make his promised visit to Moscow...

...principal fault of the report, though, lay in its excessive stress on the danger of federal aid to education. In emphasizing that attaching "ideological strings" was a tendency of governmental aid, and recommending that that all federal aid should be held suspect, the report exceeded its mandate to report on the NDEA an delivered a thinly veiled attack on the concept of federal aid to education.
