BY the Assoeiated Pres,

Secretary of State Dulles has
opened what Republicans say is
q new ''sera of good feeling"
with Congress. but there, may
be battles ahead.

has helped his cause by en-
phasizing to Senate and House

mittee last week and went be-
fore a closed session of the

hover Administrators foreign
policy next week. The Colum-
bia Broadcasting System said in
New York speech by Mr.. Dulles
from his Washington Office
would be carried from 1890 to
II pm. Tuesday via CHS radio

Behind the long and sharp
criticism of former Secretary
Acheson was expressed convic-
ton by many congressman that
Mr.. AcheSon was trying to by
pass Congress in foreign policy.
Mr.. Dulles, moreover, came
before these key committees as
an ex-senator, practicing poll
tician and a lawyer, rather than
a professional diplomat.
There has been no indication
of any difficulty in obtaining
Senate approval of Mr.. Dulles
key subordinates. Action on
three Of them has been held UP

requiring a full FBI report on
each nominee.
