Of Wisconsin, of the Senate For
eign Relations Committee said
today he has no present inten-
ton of opening up a new great
debate" in foreign policy. as pro-
posed by Adlai E. Stevenson.
Mr.. Stevenson. 1852 Demo-
cratic candidate for President.
called last Saturday for full dis
cusSion of the new look" in
foreign strategy outlined by
Secretary of State Dulles in a
New York speech last Janu-
airy IL.
Mr.. Dulles said President
Eisenhower and his top aides
had shifted directions in cold
war maneuvers against Com,
munist forces with a decision
ito depend primarily upon a
great capacity to retaliate in
Stantly by means and places Of
our own choosing"
Mr.. Stevenson called for full
scale discussions of this strategy
along the lines of the lengthy
public debate over the question
of troops for Europe in 1852.
Dulles Invited.
Senator Wiley said Mr.. Dulles
has been invited to come before
the Senate committee. perhaps
next week.
Mr. Stevenson said he was
confused" about the massive
retaliation" program outlined by
Mr.. Dulles. and he questioned
whether complete reliance on
atomic weapons would prevent
the United States from success
full handling of local actions like
the Korean War.
Asked for comment on Mr..
Stevenson'S statement, Senator
Wiley drew small vial from his
pocket and waved it under his
nose.
This Is perfume" he said. IT
carry it around so I can smell it
whenever the Democrats start
attacking"
Senator Wiley said the Ma
tion's foreign policy must not
remain static, that "it must be
geared to the new facts, like the
rise of atomic power"
Asked whether he thought
over-reliance on atomic counter
attack might leave the United
States open to local defeats by
the Communists, Senator Wiley
said:
Il don't think we would leave
ourselves open like that"
