Constantine Brown:
Dulles Plays Ball With Congress
His lowyerIike Judicial Approach to Secretoryshp
Has Given Rise to Runnors That He's on the Way Out

Knives are being sharpened
by some of the Washington
king-makerS to get the scalp
of Secretary Of State John
Foster Dulles.
Within less than a month
after Mr.. Dulles took Office,
the rumor factories began to
circulate their wares. The
Secretary of State, it was
whispered. was on the way
out. No definite reasons were
given except that he was
clumsy and IAN isolationist"
at heart.
These rumorS, circulated in
a number Of news dispatches
and broadcaStS, at many five
o'clock teas and around dinner
tables at exclusive social clubs,
increased in frequency as time
went on. They were regarded
as bets after the unfortunate
off-the-record dinner given
by the Secretary for a dozen
or so select newSpapermen.
Some of those present in
formed the public that Mr..
Dulles had intimated a soft
policy on the Far Eastern
problem, particularly in re-
gard to the future boundaries
of Korea and the status Of
Formosa.
But what irked Mr.. Dulles
opponents most was his toler-
ant attitude toward Senator
Mccarthy and his willingness
to proceed conscientiously
with the cleanup program in
the State Department. More
over, he ordered that there
should be no more releases, as
in the past, slapping at mem
bers of Congress.
Mr.. Dulles was given a short
"rumor reprieve" during the
Charles Bohlen case, though
there was some quiet grum-
bling by those who so ad-
mired the previous State De-
partment setup. that he had
not fired his new security and
personnel director, w. Scott
Mcleod. But this honeymoon
lasted only a short time. The
Greek-ship agreement pro-
duced Spectacularly by the
Wisconsin Senator was ham
0led by Mr.. Dulles with so
much discretion and tact that
he once more began to be
accused of being a Mccarthy
ite.
A parallel can be drawn be-

marskjold and the General AS

Policy Being Reviewed.
The new secretary general
told the staff that because the
policy and specific cases under
it are now being reviewed by
the U. N. administrative tribu-
nal, he could not discuss it. But
he went on:
I'm substance, the cases I
am referring to should, of course,
be judged on the same basis
and in the same spirit as all
other cases where action has
to be taken for recruiting or
terminating staff members in
order to make the secretariat
that perfect instrument we all
wish it to be-" Then he added
he wanted to make this clear:
"The principles, on which the
independence Of our secretariat
is founded, will be staunchly de-
Tended and firmly applied"
He said he would not institute
a freeze on employment but told
the staff that until further no.
tice vacancies will be filled only

tween the personality of the
late Henry L. Stimson, who
was Secretary of State in the
Hoover administration, and
the present head of the State
Department.. Both men had
distinguished legal careers be-
fore assuming their political
positions, and approached in
ternational problems from a
judicial point of view. Both
men-though. working in To-
tally different situations-were
convinced that Asia was vi
tally important to the security
Of this country.
Mr.. Dulles, more than any
of his predecessors, including
Cordell Hull, who had spent
a large part of his life in Con-
gress, is a strong believer IN
the closest possible co-opera-
ton with Congress. This is
not due to the fact that he
was in the Senate himself for
several months, but to his
reverence for the Constitution
which gives the Senate a share
of responsibility in the conduct
and formulation of our for
eign policies.
From the day he was con-
f1rmed, the Secretary of State
kept in constant touch not
only with members of the
Foreign Relations Committee
but also with the other Sena-
tors and the committees Of
the House. Mr.. Dulles does
not have to be coaxed to meet
with the legislators. He goes
to them on his own initiative.
The Senate and House were
kept fully informed about the
results of the last Paris for
eign ministers meeting, as
they were kept abreast Of all
developments during the visits
of the British, French and
German top representatives
who came to Washington last
month.
Mr.. Dulles went so far as to
give the Senators a full digest
Of his conversations with Brit
aims Prime Minister Winston
Churchill, who visited New
York before the Eisenhower
administration took over. No
suspicion exists today that
some informal, though bind
ing, secret memoranda" were
exchanged last December at
the home of Bernard Baruch

Two UAW Officials
Draw Jail Sentences
BY the ASSocioied Press

DETROIT, May Holding
that "the integrity of the court
depends upon the enforcement of
the law" Circuit Judge Frank B.
Ferguson sentenced two CIO
United Auto Workers to Jail for
10 days for contempt of court
here yesterday.
They are A. James Doddie, an
international representative OF
the UAW, and Russell Nolan
chairman of the UAW grievance
committee in the Great Lakes
Greyhound local.
Besides being sentenced to jail
the men were fined $1O0 each
and both the UAW and its Local
CSC fined $3.50 each.
The judges ruling came over 8
plea from the employer, Great
Lakes Greyhound, Inc, to over
look the contempt charge. which
grew out of an anti-picketing in

Churchill discussions took
place.
This is a complete departure
from conditions which have
existed since the outbreak Of
the last war. President Roose-
velt was in fact his own Sec
retary of State after Septem-
ber, 1899. and Mr.. Hull fire.
quently learned of some of his
chiefs decisions long after they
had been taken. He is said to
have learned what was said
between Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr..
Churchill over the 'transat-
lantic telephone only from the
disclosure of the Prime Min
ister'S memoirs. Consequently.
he was not in a position to
keep the members of Congress
abreast of developments.
During the Truman regime,
especially in the latter part
when Dean Acheson was the
real foreign-policy maker, the
legislators were kept equally IN
the dark and sometimes heard
about what was going on In
our foreign relations from
revelations in the newspapers
by some of the administrators
favorite reporters.
This system has now been
changed and the members OF
Congress are active partners in
the conduct of the Nations
foreign relations.
Mr.. Dulles was criticized by
a number of his friends for
having appeared to go slow
with the State Department
cleanup. This was also due to
his judicial approach to these
matters. He was not going to
be rushed into wholesale dis
missals unless he was given
tangible proof that these men
and women were either bad Sc
curity risks or were superduouS
in his cumbersome organiza-
ton.
Mr.. Dulles caution, one Of
his strong characteristics, and
his reluctance to use the State
Departments publicity organ
izations to slap down those
who attacked his organization
earned him the enmity Of that
handful of Washington king
makers who admired the
charm of Mr.. Acheson without
ever finding any flaws In his
actions. Hence the rumors or
the wishful thinking that Mr..
Dulles Is on the way out.

c1ude the outlawing Of indus

of the union shop, curtail-
ment of restrictions on en-
ployers in the matter of un-
fair labor practices, relieving
employers Of the requirement to
bargain concerning health and
welfare and turning over to the
States some of the authority
now held by the Federal Gov
ernment. AS for repeal Of
Taft-Hartley, Mr.. Durkin has
indicated his willingness to be
realistic in view Of the present
political situation and accept
certain amendments instead.
In lending himself to the
Presidents cabinet expert
ment, he was mindful of Gen.
Eisenhower's statement during
the campaign that the law
might be used to break unions
and needed some corrective
action. This gave him encour-
agement to believe that labor
and management, could develop
a mutually acceptable pro-
gram of legislation. He fol-
lowed the suggestion contained
in the Presidents state-of- the
Union message and named an
advisory committee for his de-
partment, representing labor.

Mr.. Lie then made a brief

Lowell WeIIett:

When President Eisenhower
selected Martin Durkin for
membership in his cabinet 1t
was generally believed he was
inviting some sort of embar-
raSsment sooner or later. This
was because Mr.. Durkin was not
only the able president Of the
plumbers union~-or to give it
its full name, United AsSocia-
ton of Journeymen and APP
prentices of the Plumbing and
Pipe Fitting Industry of the
United States and Canada
but was also q Democrat who
had supported Adlai Steven
son and had campaigned for
the repeal Of the Taft Hartley
law, enacted by a Republican
Congress, bitterly condemned
by organized labor. Some Of
the anticipated embarrassment
IS now on view.
For several weeks the Senate
and House Labor Committees
have been holding hearings on
Taft-Hartley. Witnesses repre-
senting employers have for the
most part urged the commit
tees to make the law tough

sought to have it made more

of witnesses has been impress
Sive, but even more impressive
has been the lack of one wit
neSs-Mr. Durkin. The Pres
1dent's' designated Spokesmen
on matters concerning labor
has not appeared. He has been
asked for. more than once. AS
the Senate committee prepared
to conclude its hearings, this
Evening star., 1953-05-02

week, a final request was made
by Senator Murray, Democrat,
of Montana, and Senator
Nicely, Democrat, of West Vir-
ginia, that the Labor Secretary
appear and testify or submit
his recommendations in writ
ten form. The committee was
advised that the Secretary is
not yet ready, that the depart
ment is still working to achieve
an agreed policy. Whether this
can be accomplished during
the two weeks the House COM
mittee will continue to hold
hearings isn't known.
Since his appointment, Mr..
Durkin has made one appear
ance on Capitol Hill. That was
before the committee to which
his nomination was referred.
He has been represented by
Undersecretary Lloyd A. Mash
burn at hearings relating to
Mexican labor, unemployment
insurance and appropriations.
His absence has been noted by
Senator Murray, who is re-
garded with good reason as one
of organized labor's warmest
friends in Congress. It is
doubted, however, that the
Montana Senator is actually
critical Of Mr.. Durkin's per-
sonal reticence; rather it is
believed that he is merely
seeking to dramatize the pre-
dicament in which the new ad-
ministration is involved.
The predicament is real.
