the Hungarian revolution went

Biost at Dulles Seen Aimed to Show
Lack of Confidence in Secretary

It has taken the proposal
to give the administration a
free hand in the boiling Mid
die East to arouse the anti
Dulles Senators to public ac-
ton. If they thought the Pres
ident was his own Secretary
of State they still might have
held back. They don't think so.
The most dramatic fruit of
their weeks of Soul-searching
was Senator Fulbright's de-
mand for a review of Dulles
conduct Of foreign affairs. 1t
has often appeared to report
ers that Fulbright, a former
president of the University of
Arkansas. was still more
scholar than politician, but no
kindly veil of PROFESSIONAL
phrases masked his intent.
He called the Middle East
proposal the equivalent Of a
vote Of confidence in the adj
miniStration's conduct Of our
foreign relations. He for one,
he said. was not willing to give
it until he has discovered how
the United States and its
allies got where they are now.
Tension accumulated almost
unbearably as Fulbright de-
tailed in his soft Southern
accent the harsh points Of his
indictment. The Secretary,
who usually gives an impress
sion of inviolable self-assur-

ance, sat very still but the
color rose rapidly in his face
and neck.
The chairman Of the Joint
Chiefs Of Staff. Admiral Rad
ford. and the ranked advisers
from State and Defense who
sat back Of him tried not to
watch him. The Senators
looked grim.
They are members Of two
committees - Foreign Rela-
lions and Armed Services
which are not only powerful
but are as ably stated as any
in Congress. They knew it was
no laughing matter so to at
tack the Secretary Of State at
this time; that they felt it a
duty. though a disagreeable
one, was evident.
The White House has known
of Dulles failing influence at
the Capitol. They have tried
to handle it by hiring two
Democratic travelling statesmen
for foreign policy. the former
chairmen Of the Senate and
House committees on that
subject. But Senator Walter
George Is old and not strong.
Representative James Richards
has never established himself
as a real student Of foreign
affairs or worked hard at it.
Above all, both men are
EEK; other ambitious men
have moved into their shoes.
The Presidents problem
cannot thus be solved.

The very large volume Of
letters and kilograms received
by the White House and State
Department from all over the
country proclaiming the re-
vulsion Of the American people
to the invitation extended to
President Tito Of Yugoslavia to
be the guest Of the Nation has
not changed in the slightest
the administrations decision
to receive him in Washington
this spring.
Representatives of important
organizations, such as the
American Legion, who have
called on responsible officials
with the plea that the invita-
ton be indefinitely postponed
were told that this would be
against our diplomatic inter-
ests.

DAVID LAWRENCE

When President Eisenhower
said the other day that the
Russian rulers are "unpredict-
able" he disappointed a lot of
captious and carping critics in
Congress and elsewhere who
talk as if they really believe
the making of foreign policy
is just a mere matter of adj
vance planning"
A whole cult has arisen both
here and abroad which takes
pot shots regularly at the Ell
senhower administration,
either for doing too much or
too little or for allegedly hav-
ing no foreign policy at all.
The favorite theme of the
critics, when a climax comes
in international affairs. is to
say that no planning" was
done or that America failed to
prevent this or that contin-
gency from arising, though few
of the partisans who usually
give vent to such bubbles face
up to the main point. It is that
there are two parties to every
controversy, and the United
States hasn't any control over
the enemy's operations. To
the cry that America must
somehow make the Russians
behave" there is always the
question of whether anyone
wants this country to go to
war to coerce or compel the
Russians to behave differently.
The critics give the impress
sion that all the Department
Of State needs to do is press a
button and out of some cleo
tronic device will flow differ
ent envelopes giving the pre-
pared questions and answers
in certain categories Of world
policy-just like the machine
that pours out the answers to
the $4,000 question on TV.
Eisenhower at his Wednes-
day press conference was
asked whether there is a
marked hardening Of rela-
tions between the United
States and the Soviet Union"
or an "intensification of the
cold war" and whether he con-
templated ANY discussion or

But 1t is highly unlikely that

found out such a highly scores

staff.
These are the hidden as

sistence to comply with Mar.
shall Tito's strong desire to be
received as a guest Of honor
in the Capital Of the United
States.
In answer to the observation
that Tito's visit to Washington
will have a serious impact on
the peoples Of the seething
satellites, 1t is said by our high
officials that the opposite may
be true. Such a visit would
show how broadminded the
administration is. Foreign
dignitaries are not being re-
ceived here for fun, 1t Is con-
tended. They are strictly
business propositions which
ultimately will work to the adj
vantage Of our policies for re-
taxation of world tension and
firm establishment of peace.
Tito will inevitably succumb
to the charm Of President Eli
senhower and will recognize
his deep devotion to peace, the
officials believe. Moreover. 1t
is added, since he was so inn
pressed by what he saw in
Russia he will certainly be
even more impressed by what
he will see In America-even

to accomplish things, in them
selves desirable. in a hurry.
But Nehru could not possibly
be sympathetic to communism
because Of its theoretical and
applied emphasis on violence
and class war. He knows that
social classes exist. He desires
to attain a Classics society"
through equality of opportu-
nifty, but he does not think the
way to attain it is by chopping
of heads. He believes in civil
liberties and law, and is con-
WINGED that the means decide
the ends. He is, as a superbly
educated and cultivated man,
allergic to intellectual rigidities
or to the assumption that any
man, movement. religion or
creed has a monopoly on truth.
He is conscious Of two forces,
one propelling societies toward
change and the other restrain
ing them by tradition. And al
though he is distinctly a man
OF the left, he seeks to bring
about change, as far as pos
sible. within tradition, knowing
that tradition is the cement OF
a nation.
On whether and how quickly
he or his successors succeed in
lifting India into enduring
unity and a modestly decent
life for all by democratic
processes and without totali-
tartan machinery may we'll
depend the future of all Asia.
There are two great and
populous states in Asia--India
and China.
In both countries the hopes
Of the teeming. long-exploited
masses. mostly villagers, are
now vibrant. If India, with its
slower but in Nehru's mind
surer evolution, can year by
year sufficiently fulfill those
hopes to keep alive confidence
in progress. India is likely to
be the model for the rest of
Asia.
II India fails and China
succeeds. China will exercise
the greater magnetism.

We'll, you are asking ques-
tions about matters that real

am not contemplating any
correspondence for changing
of attitude, because I know Of
no point at this time that

they are Just practically in

sible to ameliorate the situa-
ton in which we f1nd our
selves"
No more comprehensive de-
Scription of the way foreign
policy has to be made in a
troubled world could have been
given. But the President In his
brief answer took 1t for granted
that his listeners understood
what he meant when he said,
you go along announcing your
views about peace in the
world" For it means that.
while there can be a lot of
speechmaking about basic
principles, there is also a line
beyond which the aggresSor
must not be permitted to go
without military retaliation.
That line has been set by pre-
ceding administrations as well
as by the present administra-
ton. 1t was crossed by the
Communists in Korea and in
connection with the Berlin
blockade. It has not been
