The nickname stuck to him
throughout his tenure.
cordell Hull was one of the
best men we have had In the
State Department. Yet he was
frequently ridiculed because Of
his almost fanatical advocacy
Of reciprocal trade agreements
as . cure-all for international
troubles. He was often blamed
for a weak policy toward Japan
when he mercy followed the
White House line Of policy.
Inspired reports OF Mr..
Dulles pending resignation"
were circulated within q short
time after he assumed Office.
He was denounced frequently
for having D hot and cold"
policy which made no sense
and was likely to get us into
trouble. Actually when he
spoke of massive retaliation
against the Communists in the
Far East he meant every word.
He was compelled, however. TO
back down because Of outside
influences over which he had
no control.
There is no question that
President Eisenhower has q
great deal Of confidence in his
Secretary's judgment. But
this reliance Is not shared by
many Of his immediate entour-
age. They see In the failure

Stories are being circulated
in Washington since the fall
ure Of the Geneva Conference
that Secretary Of state John
Foster Dulles may have to re-
linquish his job early next
year.
Such reports have been
heard frequently ever since
Mr.. Dulles took over the han
ding Of our foreign policies.
They deserve mention now be-
cause they come from sources
clorc TO President Eisenhower's
White House advisers.
The story in q nutshell is:
Neither Mr. Eisenhower nor.
Mr.. Dulles took much stock
in what our British friends
described as the vast possi-
bilities" Of the Big -Four heads
Of state exploring the chances
of ending the cold war and
placing the world on an even
keel. But Mr.. Eisenhower
agreed to attend the con-
ference to accommodate the
British and French.
The friendIiness displayed by
the Soviet quartet Of Bulganin,
Khrushchev. Molotoy and zhu-
koy was something entirely
new and had a tremendous
effect on the problems Of the
West and particularly In this
country. The expression spirit
Of Geneva" was coined. And
while those In the know say
that neither Mr.. Eisenhower
nor especially Mr.. Dulles over
looked the hard facts Of life
they had to go along with the
popular current lest they be
described as kfil-joys. The
politicos III this country were
happy because they found
powerful campaign material
in this shibboleth. They knew
that the coming presidential
election win be hard fought.
But they were convinced that
the opposition could be reeIed

peace and prosperity battle cry
for 1855 was to be further en-
hanced by the Chief Execu-
tiye.s personal success at
Geneva.
The deceiving moderate tone
OF the Russians In; the inter-
val between the two Ge-
neva conferences undoubtedly
strengthened the feeling that
the Russians had at least tenn
porarily turned q page. In any
event. the Presidents world
wide prestige was urluuestion-
ably further increased. Those
who ventured 10 speak out
their doubts frankly were de-
nounced as Cassandras or OPP
ponents Of the Presidents poll
icies. The doubts of many re-
sponsible leaders about the
Russians real intentions we're
scoffed at publicly by the ad-
rninistration's political strate-
giSts.
Then came the anticlimax.
Ait the foreign ministers con-
ference. Comrade Molotov re-
verted to the methods used In
Stalin's day.
The aacid test mentioned
by Mr.. Eisenhower to prove
the consistence Of the spirit
Of Geneva was applied at the
foreign ministers gathering
and resulted In Its dissolution.
Explanations for failures are
not pleasant. particularly on
the eve Of q political contest.
The short cut Is to find q
scapegoat. And this is report
edly the tendency among some
of the pCliticos around the
White House.
Secretaries Of State are ex-
pendable. Because Of the ma
tilre Of their job they are sub
jected to more criticism than
almost any other cabinet Of

When Millions See President Swing
Golf Club, They Wonder About ID Tern

Now that the stock market
has recovered almost all the
loss It sustained several weeks
ago when the news first came
about President Eisenhower's
Illness. 1t Is apparent that the
same people who feared q big
change In national economic
conditions II he ceased to be
President have concluded that
such an adverse development
win not niaterialize. because
he win be wen enough to Be
renominated and re elected.
When the President Is seen,

the impression eeated Is that
he Is not Aia invalid or an In

Likewise. when nearly every
Sunday morning newspaper In

page q picture showing Ike
swinging q golf club on the
White House lawn. there are
millions of citizens who begin
to argue TO themselves that,
II he Is wen enough to play
golf, he is well enough TO run
for q second term.
Unquestionably there's q
different feeling throughout
America about the availability
Of Mr.. Eisenhower for d second
term than there was when the
newspapers first told about the
heart attack. It was described
then as 3 mild" attack but,
because it happened to the
President, the publicity and at
tention given to the episode
far exceeded anything that
would have been noted Ia the.
case of any other citizen with
q similar attack.
The frequent news bulletins

A famous saying here is that

Fighting the sea has Influenced
the character of the Dutch. As
far back as the 18th century
they were draining land. Since
that time 1900 square miles
have been reclaimed.

To establish the new state, the
Dutch today are winning an
other in their historic battles
against the encroaching water
this time eliminating the Zuider
Zee.
The battle first took shape in
1882 when the zuider Zee, a
finger Of the North Sea jutting
downward into Holland as far
as Amsterdam was sealed of
from the North Sea proper by q
giant dyke. Since then the Dutch
have been working feverishly
at their gigantic reclamation
scheme. which is now nearing
completion.
Behind the dyke. the Dutch
began to transform the former
"fisherman's paradise" into q
farmers pride" They have re-
claimed already two ''polders"

tected by dykes against high

with a combined area of 26c
square miles-the Wieringermeer
and the North East Folder.
