Doubt About Dulles

U0ubf amour DULLES
IT ISN'T being advertised, but Gov.
ernor Dewey has received some
firm but friendly advice from high
up Republicans to think twice be-
fore he appoints John Foster Dulles
as his secretary of state.
The opposition to Dulles is partly
on the ground that he is one Of Wall
Streets most prominent lawyers,
partly because of the disastrous role
Dulles played in selling the Ameri-
can public on the now defaulted
German bonds prior to 1888 when
leading American economists were
warning that they would be worth
less paper.
One high-up Republican who re-
Gently cautioned Dewey about Dulles
was Sen. Styles Bridges Rep,
N. H., chairman of the powerful
senate appropriations committee.
Bridges raised a new objection,
namely Dulles recommendation of
Alger Hiss, alleged Communist, to
be chairman of the Carnegie Peace
Foundation.
The directors of the foundation,
Bridges recalled, were lukewarm
about Hiss but were pressured into
the appointment by Dulles.
eyes, he did make a mistake
on that One," admitted Dewey.
"And he's made too many mis-
takes" urged Senator Bridges.
Gle made a terrible mistake
regarding the Nazis. We just
can't afford to have a man as
secretary of state who makes
mistakes. The problem of peace
is too delicate"
Bridges also reminded Dewey that
Dulles might have difficulty in be-
ing confirmed by the senate
eve hope to give you real ma
jority in the senate in November"
the New Hampshire senator ex-
planned. But we may be darn
lucky to keep what we've got. If
so, and if only two or three Re-
publicans oppose Dulles, then the
Democrats will jump in en- masse
to fight his confirmation. They'll
love it,"
Dewey countered that Foreign
Minister Molotov liked Dulles, and
that ironing out our Russian prob
lens was all important.
"He's the only man in Ameri-
ca who can get along with Molo-
tow" Dewey told Bridges.
"And, suppose, quipped Bridges,
THAT Molotov is good Republican
and wants us to win in November"
In Praise Of Bradley
If war should come to beleaguered
Berlin, the men at the top of the
U. S. army today are among the
most competent, human, and civil
an-minded that this newsman has
seen around the war department in
many year.
This appraisal, by the way, comes
from longtime and vigorous critic
of the brass hats.
Responsible for this new deal
around the PentagOn building
are General Eisenhower and his
successor, modest Omar Brad
ley.
1t is important for the American
public to know that when the dare
devil boys of the air forces and the
drop-the-bomb-now men of the navy
gather at joint chiefs of staff meet
ings, there is always present one
calm conscience who never forgets,
the 100000 G. is buried under white
crosses from Guadalcanal to Sicily
Take off his uniform and Omar
Bradley looks like college profess
sor. He is quiet, gracious, gener-
Gus, good natured and basically a
very plain person. Everybody who
ever worked with Bradley remarks
on his simplicity His mess ser
geant in France had orders never
to use Bradley's name to wangle
food for headquarters. Once during
the historic landing at Normandy,
Bradley, then three-star general,
took off his feece-lined jacket and
handed it to a shivering corporal.
