Just before his latest illness, U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower opened his news conference with a volunteered statement on neutrality. He was stirred to speak out as the result of Congressional opposition to the Administration's foreign-aid bill. A senator was leading a move to halt all U.S. assistance to Yugoslavia because of Marshal Tito's reconciliation with Moscow, Soviet Union. Others at the Capitol were agitating against American help for India owing to Indian prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru's stand for non-alignment and against military blocs.
