Dulles Views Disturbing.
While indorsing the objectives
Of NATO and the role that the
United States should play in it.,
he has limited broadly that the
deciding factors are almost en-
tirely matter of domestic
American politics. He has given
many observers the impression
that the administrations foreign
policy programs are no longer to
be worked out and fought
through Congress but rather tai
lored ahead Of time to the pre-
vailing political sentiment.
Considering what is at stake,
it is an attitude which must be
less than reassuring to Mr.. Dull
les fellow ministers.
This afternoon the council
meeting winds up with a bright
and optimistic final commune
que covering the unanimous de-
cisions of the ministers on de-
velopments in Russia, the Euro
pean army treaty and the future
rate of NATO's armament effort.
But in spite of the outward har-

that NATO has survived its first

stiff upper lip.

Hundreds of American fam
lilies whose loved ones still are
prisoners of the enemy in Korea
found new hope today.
In the first six days of the
repatriation of disabled pris-
onerS. the Communists had ex-
ceeded their originally pledged
total of 100 Americans by 16.
Seventeen were included in yes
terday's exchange. And the Reds
promised 13 more Americans
would be among those returned
today.
Think Reds Might Accept.
A proposal to continue the ex-
change indefinitely was being
considered by negotiators at
Panmunjom. Some observers
there said they thought the re-
cent attitude Of the Reds might
indicate they would accept such
a plan.
AS word of the additional re-
leases brought fresh hope to the
silent homes where the prayed
for. familiar name has not been
heard as among those first freed,
the fortunate families combined
their prayers of thanksgiving
with expressions Of hope for
others.

and father of a boy missing over
there could have the same JOY
as ours" said Mr.. and Mrs.
Arley D. Rose. Their son, Ma

good news was almost too much.

Bernice Daniel collapsed when
her brother brought word that
her husband. Sergt. James F..
Daniel of Covington, Ca, had
been freed.
