Dulles Many Letters Scotch
ToIk Of Recognizing Red Chino

Of q change In the right direc-
Dulles made it clear that there
IS no chance Of that regime be-
ing accepted by the United
States in the foreseeable future
Many of Mr.. Dulles associates
believe it is important to stress
this point at every opportunity,
They have been concerned about
misleading reports that the
United States is getting to take
a 'new look" at its China pol
icy. They fear such reports
might tend to swing toward
communism many Asians still
ION the fence" So they want
it to be crystal clear In Asia
especially to Chinese living OUT
side of either Formosa or the
mainland-that the Unite d
States is going to continue to
support the Chinese Nationalist
government on Formosa and OPP
pose the Peiping regime.
Mr.. Deans name has been
brought into the new look
reports. The Providence Journal
published q dispatch from its
Washington bureau on January
3 saying that Mr.. Dean was urg-
ing Washington officials to re-
view United States policy with
a view toward splitting Com
munist China from the Soviet
Union without military action.
Welker Raises Issue.
Senator Welker seized on that
report in a speech to the Senate
Thursday to charge that Mr..
Dean favored appeasement of
Red China. Mr.. Dean countered
that the Senator's attack on him
was "a great aid to the Com
munists."
Letting Mr.. Dean speak for
himself. the State Department
has not commented on the Wei
ker charges and SO far there has
not been time for Mr.. Dulles
mail to reflect his views on them
But in letters going out before
the Welker speech the Secretary
asserted his utmost confidence
in the ability and loyalty OF
Mr.. Dean and undoubtedly will
continue to do so.
Mr.. Dulles has received many
letters. complaining that there
have not been enough changes
ir, the State Department-that
there are too many holdovers
from the Truman-Acheson ad-
ministration.
In reply TO one of these. he
wrote that what all of us
wanted was a change in policy
and cited his January IL speech
in New York as showing there
has been a substantial and basic
change in and considerable
strengthening of our foreign
policy"
Stresses High-Level Changes.
He also pointed out that
there have been thorough
changes throughout the top
policy making level Of the State
Department." but told his COR
respondent that lit is evident
you do not think the change has
been sufficient in depth or rapid
enough.
On that point, he wrote:
The Department of State. like
the Army. Navy and Air Force,
requires highly trained and ex-
perienced career personnel ca
pable of giving continuity to the
transactions that must take
place between our Government
and the other nations of the
world to eliminate these
career officers, even if it were
legally possible. would be as dis
astrous to our international re-
lations and security as it would
be to suddenly replace all of the
officers in our military services" !"
The Secretary added that he
was trying to instigate a pro-
gram that will bring 'the change
all of us desire with our coun-
try's. well being" and said that
with patient understanding from
every American "the goals we all
seek will be achieved"
Denies Protecting" Hiss.
His letter about Alger Hiss was
in reply to one inquiring about
reports that he was chairman OF
the board Of the Carnegie En-
dowment when Hiss was elected
president of that organization
and that he was among eminent
Republicans who has protected
Hiss.
1.-THE fact is" Mr.. Dulles wrote
that he (Hiss) was elected pres
ident at the same meeting al
which ! was elected chairman
I was not even present at the
meeting"
Later. he added, he heard
suspicious rumors about Hiss and
asked a private source whom
knew to be an ardent anti
Communist with contacts with
! former Communists to look into
