BY JOHN A. GILES
Star STAFF Writer

President Eisenhower said
today the United States must
eliminate stupidity, arrogance
and prejudice in its interna-
tional relations.
Speaking before the 47th an
Inual meeting of the United
States Chamber of Commerce,
at Constitution Hall, he told
the Nations top businessmen
that they have priceless OPP
portunity" in this field.
The President said it is par
ticularly important" that busi-
nessmen keep a deep sense"
of community spirit. He said
they are a great force in build
ing American standing abroad.
Turning to his efforts to pro-
mote foreign aid, Mr.. Eisen-
hover said, 1.-THE fortune Of
the free world is the fortune
of America"
He said that it was for this
reason that it is imperative
for the defense system Of the
free world to support not only
the defense budget, but the
foreign aid program as well.
1--WE Have No Choice"
He added that oyerrunning
of any nation would be "catas-
trophic."
I'VE have no choice but to
meet the challenge Of COM
.munism wherever it may &C.
cur" he continued.
He said that Threatened
areas" require more help than
what he termed unfortunate
nations"
He said that United States
investments in foreign aid are
the greatest that can be made
in the search for peace and
security.

An NBC spokesman said the
union refused to put the pro-
gram on the air because 1t had
been recorded on tape abroad
by a nou-union concern. The
disputed show was tapped in
Paris last week and included an
interview with Brigitte Bardot.
The strike apparently caught

the official.

star stan writer
President Eisenhower and
Secretary Of State Herter made
It known today that they are
disappointed" over Soviet Pre-
mier Khrushchev's rejection Of
mier Khrushchev's GOODNESS
toward the Presidents proposal
for banning nuclear tests by
stages.
AS the President and his new
Secretary Of State discussed
the latest letter from Mr..
Khrushchev. White House Press
Secretary James c. Hagerty
read newsmen a statement he
described as being made for
them.
The statement emphasized
that the United States does
want a complete test ban de-
spite a contrary impression
given by Mr.. Khrushchev's
letter.
It also expressed hope that
when CHARMED" the Soviet
position may reflect a change
in attitude on the yeto prnb-
lem that would enable some
progress to be made.
Step-by-Step Plan
Mr.. Eisenhower proposed in
q letter to the Soviet Premier
on April IS that the deadlock
in the Geneva test ban nego-
tiations might be broken by
adopting q step-by- step APP
proach. He proposed an i'm
mediate ban on easily detecti-
BILE test explosions in the at
mosphere up to an altitude Of
80 miles. while efforts continue
to negotiate agreement on in
spection systems necessary to
enforce a complete ban.
Mr.. Khrushchev replied in a
letter delivered last Friday and
publicized by Moscow Saturday
Mr.. Khrushchev did not spe-
cifically reject the Eisenhower
proposal. But he did say it Of
Tered no solution, and added in
effect that the United States
does not want a complete ban
on tests. Z. *
First OfIicial Reaction
In the first ofiiciaI American
Ifeasslon tIf fEhsefts g1ad re-
pofters this statement today:
THE President and the Sec
rotary Of State are disappointed
that Mr.. Krushchev has not
been willing to take the prac-
teal and Immediately feasible
measure Of nuclear test suspen-
sion proposed In the Presidents
letter Of April IS.
Contrary to the impression
given in Mr.. Khrushchev's let
ter. the United States does
want a complete test ban.
That is what President Eisen-
hover proposed In August of
1858 and that is what the
United States has been trying
to get agreement on for five
months at Geneva.
THE Soviets have thus far,
however, been Unwilling to ac-
cept the controls which would
make such agreement possible.
1.-THE Soviet suggestion does
not address itself to the key
point-the veto-which has
thus far blocked agreement.
THE President and the Sec
rotary of State hope that when
clarified the Soviet position
may reflect a change in atti-
tude on this question so that
progress can be achieved"
