With great dignity, he stepped

State Visitors
Peace Not Furthered
By Snubs, He Tells
News Conference
BY GARRETT d. HORNER

President Eisenhower today
deplored "any discourtesy'
shown in this country to for
eign visitors like King Saud of
Saudi Arabia.
In an implied rebuke to New
York Mayor Wagner and other
politicians who have publicly
criticized the old-rich Arabian
monarch'S visit, the President
told news conference that pro
motion of peace is the most i'm
portant work of statesmen today
and that is what we ought to
be about"
Mr.. Eisenhower also came
strongly to the defense of Sec
rotary of State Dulles against
a furry of Democratic critics.
He said he had approved in
advance all Dulles policies and
still considered him the great
est Secretary of State of our
time.
The Presidents news confer
|ence opened with a question
seeking his views about critical
ATTACKS in many quarters on the
King Saud visit and on reported
arrangements in the making for
a visit to Washington later this
year by Marshal Tito of Yugo-
slavia.
Mayor Wagner refused to take
any part in welcoming King
Saud on his arrival in New York
yesterday. denouncing him as
slavery, anti-Jewish and
anti-Catholic.
Tito Visit Opposed
Several Senate and House
members have denounced re-
ported plans for Tito visit.
leading the official Yugoslav
newspaper to say last night that
Marshal Tito could not visit
the United States because of the

paign going on here.
Let's get this clear in our
minds" Mr.. Eisenhower said in
opening his discussion of the
matter today. You don't pro-
mote the cause of peace by talk
ing only to people with whom
you agree. That is merely yes
ma am performance"
He added that at times he
must meet with people with
whom he disagreeS in order to
determine whether there are
ways to work out differences
plaguing the world.
Many visits of foreign gov
eminent heads here. he ex-
planned. are dictated by such
purposes-trying to eliminate
misunderstanding and achieve
conditions that would make
disarmament possible.
Certainly these are worthy
causes to be pursued with all our
strength" the President re-
marked.
He added that in this light he
always is obliged to a foreign
government head who agrees TO
visit him here to talk over prob
lens instead of demanding that
he go abroad for conferences.
DeplOres DiscOurtesy
Therefore" he said. II de-
plore any discourtesy" shown to
a foreign visitor who comes here
with the purpose of assisting in
ameliorating difficulties.
The President explained that
this does not mean that he APP
proves everything done by a gov
eminent headed by one of his
visitors.
One of the things that has
caused considerable criticism of
King Saud is his refusal to per-
init Jewish members of the Amer

lease basis.
