PAWLING, N. Y, Aug. 28-Gov
Thomas E. Dewey's plans for con-
ference soon with John Foster
Dulles, his foreign relations adviser
were deferred indefinitely today
when he learned that Mr.. Dulles had
undergone a two-hour operation on
an infected foot
Mr.. Dulles was reported resting
we'll after the surgery performed
yesterday in a New Haven Conn
hospital, but Gov. Dewey decided he
should be left undisturbed for a
while.
Consequently, the COP presi-
dental nominee probably will re-
turn to Albany about midweek with
out obtaining personal report on
Mr.. Dulles conversations in Wash
ington last week with Secretary of
State Hull The two have been in
close touch by telephone, however.
No Danger of Amputation.
Mr.. Dulles entered the hospital
Saturday after his foot infection,
which resulted from an ingrown toe
nail, failed to respond satisfactorily
to treatment. Gov. DeWey's aides
said there was no danger of an am
putation.
The Governors secretarial staff
was augmented today by the arrival
of Helene Osher from the executive
Offices in Albany.
Gov Dewey will be guarded
constantly during his transconti-
mental campaign tour by New York
City detective and two State troop
ers, it was learned.
The guards, whose expenses will
be met by the Republican National
Committee, are being assigned as a
routine precaution and not because
any special threats have been re-
cived
Besides keeping vigilant eye on
crowds around the presidential can
didate the three men will keep CO.
ordinate police details along the
way.
Bodyguard Is Pistol Expert.
The detective, Frank Hnida. pistol
expert. has been responsible for
Dewey's safety much of the time
since 1885.
That was when Gov. Dewey was
winning national attention as a
"racket-busting special prosecutor
and the New York gangs were we'll
organized under such notorious
leaders as Charles lucky Luciano
Gov. DeWCy sent Luciano to prison
for long term on vice racketeering
charges.
Hnida pronounced Nyda) is
credited by fellow detectives with
being able to shoot the ace of spades
out of a tossed card at Is feet.
When Gov. Dewey sets out for
Philadelphia September to begin
his Nationwide tour, all three body
guards will join forces in plain
clothes and accompany the party
throughout.
