Dulles being questioned about
the wisdom Of his actions always
seems improbable to some peo-
ple. in a class with heckling a
bishop.
Yet last week. Mr.. Dulles, ex-
pounding the Eisenhower doc
Urine on the Middle East. was
subjected not only to the can
onading of Senator Fulbright's
Emo confidence" indictment, but
to small-arms fire by younger
Democratic Senators.
Senator Jackson said plain
lively at one point. why do
we have to just go round and
round and not get a clear an
Iswer?"
And Senator Long said sea-
Ithingly, Sometimes I feel that
by reading Nationwide maya
zine I seem to get more infor-
|mation than / do by questioning
the Secretary Of State"
might Call an Ordeal"
Senator Aiken, Republican OF
Vermont. was constrained to
characterize the Secretary's four
day appearance as a witness be-
fore the Senate Armed Services
and Foreign Relations Commit
tee as what some people might
call an ordeal"
Now Secretary Dulles prede-
cessor, Dean AcheSon, was rou-
timely something Of a human
darts board for congressional
marksmen. But Secretary Dulles
previous progresses up Capitol
Hill have been more often than
not occasions Of mutual admira-
ton and congratulation.
Now all is changed, If not
utterly. at least enough so that
observers have been scrutinizing
Secretary Dulles conduct under
fire. 1t is. by common consent,
remarkable. and even the Demo-
Gratis have publicly admired his
patience.
Admittedly the art of getting
along with Senators is a delicate
one. Some cabinet officers try
to be comradely and lard their
answers heavily with I'm glad
you asked me that, Senator"
Others CULVER. Only Secretary Of
Defense Wilson refuses to ac-
knowledge the problem. He is
resolutely unimpressed in the
hearing room and jarringly calls
the Senators you men,"
Studiedly UncOntroversial
Secretary Dulles is neither
matey nor apprehensive. AL
though he deplores an attitude
of neutralism in foreign policy,
it is what he practices in selling
his ideas to Senators. His Ian
guage is studiedly uncontrover-
sial; he speaks in the colorless
polysyllables Of a Government
report. He ignores all personal
barbs imbedded in questions,
answering the questions them
selves. although not always so
directly as Senators wish. He
refers all questions outside his
own province to other experts
He balks at the subjunctive
and almost always stubbornly
refuses to take the bit Of hypo-
thetical questions. He knows,
presumably from bitter experi-
ence. that for him flights OF
fancy often end in crash land
ings. On Friday, he unguard-
edly Unbiased a bit of rhetoric
with the usual disastrous results
when he said II he were an
American boy going to fight in
the Middle East he would rather
mot have q British and French
man on either side.
Secretary Dulles armor seems
to consist Of an air Of grand
Ifatherly indulgence at the whole
proceedings. his lawyers ability
to spot q loaded question and q
certainty that his questioners

how escape us but yet for a
goodly number-the strong
silent voice of the Creator has
directed them to respective
callings and inches in the
world of man."
Jones expressed the thought
that persons who are the
happiest usually attribute
some of their contentment of
peace and JOY to the fact
that they are living useful
lives of satisfaction to them
selves and of honest service
to their fellowmen.
GAS we grow older" said
the affable professor, 1--WE
find that old truths seem to
change and that we have to
adjust to newer ways of
thinking; we are constantly
forced to re-evaluate our
views and ways of behavior
and adjustment, in spite of
setbacks which such confu-
sion might bring to all of us,
we must go ever upward
irving for the perfect con-
.entment and the good life
that we all desire"
I'VE can expect three things
out of the good life" con
cluded Jones, "the grace to
live uprightly and fully; the
inspiration to see The right
and act accordingly and The
courage to bear The darkness

supremacy. They hold the

white or colored, know. The
allegiance of these millions
will go to the Russians for
Communism, or the United

races of people depend upon
the trend of each nation to-
ward the path of democracy.
In conclusion he stated that
segregation is a fatal liabili-

the United States has become
the leading country of the
free world, it's people must be
free. Other nations of the
world, who soon must make
a choice, as to their allegiance,
are awaiting the action of A

anxiously awaited by millions
of neutrals, and will deter

Fear Violence
~ the Associated Press

The Bakery Workers Union,
ousted from the AFLrCIo on
corruption charges. says it Is
delaying enforcing trusteeships
over New York. Philadelphia,
Newark and Washington locals
to avoid possible physical ylo-
lence."
AT the same time the union
said yesterday II has placed
under trusteeship locals at
Shreveport, La, and Decatur,
nj.
The union Is feuding with Q
new American Bakery and Con-
fectionery Workers Interna-
tional Union (ABC), recently
established as q freedom group
after the AFL-ClO expelled
the original union last week.
The original union Is headed
by James q. Cross. on whom
most Of the corruption charges
have centered.
A spokesman for Gross said
the union had ordered the trus-
teeships because the locals in
question contained ''disloyal"
elements and were "diyerting"
funds TO the new union.
He said plans TO put two
locals In New York. two in
Philadelphia and one each in
Newark and Washington under
trusteeship have not been car
ried yet out for fear possible
violence.
