U. S. Won't Buster.
Lose Friendships,
Secretary Asserts
By Gornett D. Homer

Secretary of State Dulles to-
Gay proclaimed a clear-cut and
basic split between the Eisen-
mower administration and Sena-
Tor Mccarthy on foreign policy.
Speaking with approval of
President Eisenhower, Mr.. Dulles
told news conference the ad-
mln1stration is not going to
wreck allied cooperation by
clustering, domineering or arro-
CANT methods.
Without mentioning Senator
Mccarthy by name, the Secre-
tary left no doubt he was referr-
ing to the Wisconsin Republi-
cans broadcast last week in
statement blasting what he
called "a widely publicized criti-
cism of this administrations for
eign policy"
Asked directly if his statement
was an answer to Senator Nc
Carthy's broadcast, Mr.. Dulles
told reporters they could draw
their own inferences.
Sees Heart of Policy Attacked.
He declared that the widely
publicized criticism" he was an
swering ATTACKS the very heart
OF United States foreign policy"
THE burden of the criticism"
Mr.. Dulles said, was that we
spoke too kindly to our allies
and sent them 'perfumed notes
instead of using threats and in
tlmidation to compel them to do
our bidding"
Senator Mccarthy. used the
words ''perfumed notes" in his
Nationwide TV-radio address.
The Senator's most drastic de-
mand was that the United States
should threaten to end Ameri-
can aid to any country engaging
in any trade at all with Com
munist China. Great Britain
and some other allied countries
are trading with the Chinese
Reds, but embargo any ship
ments of strategic items.
Mr.. Dulles declared that as
sisting friendly countries in
Americas own interest "does not
give us the right to try to take
them over, to dictate their trade |
policies and to make them our
satellites"
Will Be Treated as Equals.
He emphasized that "it is the
clear and firm purpose of this
administration to treat other
free nations as sovereign equals"
. The fact that recent events
have made the United States
more powerful should not make
us less loyal to our great Ameri-
can traditions" Mr.. Dulles de-
clared. He emphasized that he
would not mar the record of an
American foreign policy that has
been marked by a spirit of JUS
tice, forbearance and magma
nimity."
The secretary emphasized that
the United States depends on
bases and warning facilities in
friendly countries fol- prevention
and defense against a possible
atomic attack by Russia.
Thus there is need as never
before" he declared, "of Coop
Grafton between the free ma
tions." He added that it would
be impossible to maintain such
cooperation without mutual re-
Spect and friendship.
Repudiates Bluster Methods.
I'VE do not propose to throw
away those precious assets by
clustering and domineering
methods" he emphasized.
Mr.. Dulles conferred with
President Eisenhower both yes
terday and again this morning
before his news conference. He
told queStioners he would not
have made such a statement as
he did unless it bespoke agree
ment between the President and
himself.
Mr.. Dulles prepared statement
did not mention a specific Nc
Carthy criticism of the admins
tration for retaining John Patton
Davies in the Foreign Service.
But in answer to questions he
said new security investiga-
ton of Mr.. Davies was begun
last May, when new security reg
ulationS went into effect, and
has not yet been completed. He
said he expected the inveStiga-
