Herter Named To Succeed Dulles As Secty. of State

AUGUSTA, Ga, R - Christian A. Herter Saturday was named by President Eisenhower to be the new Secretary of State.
 The President personally an- nounced his choice with Herter, Undersecretary since 1857, stand ing at his side at a news confer ence.
 Herter is being elevated to the Cabinet to succeed cancer-stricken John Foster Dulles, who resigned last Wednesday.
 The President announced his in tention to. send Herter's nomina- tion to the Senate next week. Swift confirmation has been pre- dicted.
 Herter was asked whether he plans any change in U. s. foreign policy. He replied with a smile he does not want to get into that matter until he has been con- fir1ned.
 The new Secretary, 64, also de- clined to speculate on who will succeed him as UnderSecretary.
 He added, however, that he be- ieves it is "a reasonable assump- tion that the same team will car ry on."
 Herter formally announced that at Eisenhower's personal request, put to him last Monday, he had undergone complete physical checkup at Johns Hopkins Univer- sity Hospital at Baltimore, Md.
 With a broad smile, the lanky Herter - former Governor of Massachusetts and former mem Der of the House of Representa- tives nm told reporters: q feel fine. I get around pretty well"
 He added that he uses canes only to ease the weight on his arthritic hips.
 Replying to questions, Herter said he does not expect that arth- ritis to hinder him in any way in the performance of his job. He specifically predicted the ailment would not restrict his travel as Secretary of State.
 Herter's first major assignment will be attendance at the confer ence of Western foreign ministers to be held in Paris starting April 29. He will go on from there to Geneva for that same groups meeting commencing May II with the Soviet Unions foreign min iSter.
 He said the main purpose of the Paris conference will be to CO., ordinate the position of the West ern powers in advance of the Ge- neva meeting.

Union Suggestion

At the same time, the United
Steelworkers of America offered
a new suggestion to get things
rolling. Some weeks ago, the
union negotiated separately with
the Kaiser Steel Corp. and two
smaller firms and came up with
new contracts much to its liking.
Now David J. Mcdonald, union
president. urges that company
by-company negotiations be sub
stituted for industry-wide bar
gaining.
While the steel industry's Big
II did not reply Immediately, it is
believed highly unlikely that the
group would, at this juncture,
favor procedures which would
weaken their united front.
There were other suggestions
for dealing with the strike last
week. Labor Secretary Mitchell
urged the contending parties to
refer their dispute to a third
party He had three separate
plans: They could ask a special
board or Mr.. Finnegan make rec
concentrations for a settlement or
they could submit the matter to
arbitration.
The Mitchell proposals got no.
where fast. The union rejected
the idea of arbitration. Industry
turned down all three proposals.

Steel:
Suspension

Just before President Eisen-
hover left on his goodwill tour
of II countries, he spoke to the
Nation over television. He urged
a quick settlement to the steel
dispute and warned of new Gov
ernment action if there is none.
To illustrate the seriousness
with which he regards the threat
of new steel strike, the Presi-
dent said he was instructing the
Federal Mediation Service to con-
duct round-the-clock bargaining
sessions with labor and manage
mcnt.
Such continuous sessions never
were held. This was because
neither the mediators nor the dis
Tutants saw any sense in such a
procedure. Last Thursday the
Eisenhower suggestion was COM
pletely scuttled. Joseph F. Fin
negan, chief Federal mediator,
suspended the talks altogether

Politics.:
Speedup

In less than II months the
Nation will elect a new Presi-
dent. In less than eight months
the two major political parties
will select their nominees for the
big prize.
Both the Democrats and Re
publicans held big pow-wows last
week to get down to the serious
business of girding for the COM
ing battles, on the intra and inter-
party fronts.
The Democrats started first
with a series Of meetings in New
York and the release of their Ad-
visory Councils 22-point, 14,00O-
word proposed platform for 1860.
Gist of the proposal, which the
Republicans say came out of an
emotional week end at the
Waldorf" is this:
The United States should resist
communism abroad more vigor-
ously and spend more money at
home for such liberal programs
as increased public electric power,
slum clearance. Federal aid for
school construction, new housing
and increased social security.
Later in the week, the Republic
can National Committee Conven-
ton Preparations Committee met
in Chicago. AS they gathered, some
observers saw the ghost of Wendell
W!llkie lowering about, if not in
smoke-f1lled rooms, then in the
minds of many a supporter of
Vice President Nixon.
Republican organization men,
the great majority of whom sup
port Mr.. Nixon for the presiden-
tial nomination, believe the only
way for Gov. Nelson A. Rookie
feller Of New York to upset their
man is to stampede the convention
like Mr.. Willkie did in 1910.
And so, two steps already taken
by G. o. P. committee officials,
each of which will make it diff
cult 1or Mr. Rockefeller to repeat
the Willkie strategy, are creating
a good deal of interest.
First off, only 1890 tickets will
be made available to the general
public for the convention which
opens in Chicago on July 25.
Secondly, these tickets are to
be divided among the so States
and the Republican chairman IN
each State will decide who gets
them.

they have done-for the first
time in the Corcoran's history
and without worrying whether the
lions are symbolic Of anything ex-
cept lionhood.
Some Economies Necessary
In recent years. the gallery
has been waiting a little longer to
turn on the heat in the fall. In
the summer it has closed some
rooms and some exhibitions be-
cause it lacks air conditioning. 1t
has, after the cost was totaled,
forgotten some exhibitions that
were planned. Some paintings it
might have bought paintings
which could have filled in some
gaps in the gallery's architecture
Of American painting - have
slipped elsewhere, into the hands
of private collectors or younger
galleries. 1t has found plaster
peeling from some of its walls,
detracting from the quality of a
Winslow Homer or a Thomas
Eakins or a Rembrandt, Peale or
a John Singer Sargent.
The Corcoran is not going broke.
But it is, 1t could be said, Just
making 1t and always in the same
place.
1t is feeling the shadow Of the
National Gallery of Art which. in
cidentally. receives a comfortable
Federal grant each year for its
maintenance. The last appropria-
ton was $1,853, 900. This COM
parison Of the two galleries is
reflected not in the priceless ac-
QUESTIONS but in such basic items
as the number of gallery guards.
The Corcoran has only 5 sus-
piciouS men in uniform; the Ma
tional, 10.
The Corcoran. within the last
two weeks. has had one theft and
one attempted theft. The Ma
tional has never lost a thing.
Despite the financial bind, the
Corcoran feels in it's Tooth year,
the gallery is very much alive,
contributing much to the life
Of the city.
Besides hanging up its MASTER
pieces for any and all who would
spend a few moments in awe of
beauty and skill, the Corcoran
teaches.
1t has the best art school in
town, started in 1893. The fees
are reasonable. The school in
structs anyone bitten by the art
bug, including children only 7
years old who would rather paint
than talk. and retired business
men or admirals who may be find

over those he now has under the
Taft-Hartley Act.
The steel strike has dramatized
the fact that We are at the end
of an era" he said. Everyone is
agreed that this cannot happen
again; that the public interest is
the paramount interest, and that
irresponsible private power is an
intorelable danger to our belea-
guered society"
Among the powers Mr.. Steven
son would give the President is
one which would let him order
continued production in essential
industries while a settlement was
being attempted.
With the Stevenson statement
and Mr.. Eisenhower warning Of
Government action, it would ap-
pear that there will be heavy BIZ
partisan support for m a jor
changes in the emergency pro-
visions Of Taft-Hartley after Con-
greSs returns in January. Both the
union and the steel industry ap-
pear to be willing to let Congress
settle their dispute.

Custro'sCub
Not Anxious

Relations between the United
States and Cuba were cooler than
ever last week as Fidel Castro's
regime stepped up its barrage of
"anti-Yanqui" attacks. Secretary
of State Herter, at a news con-
ference on Thursday, described
relations as "worSening."
I'VE have tried to discuss with
the Cuban government a number
OF the problems that have caused
deterioration and have found that
the present Cuban government is
not anxious to talk with us, so
that we have great difficulty in
communication and in allevi-
ating the situation" Mr.. Herter
declared.
Just before Mr.. Herter'S state
mentS, Cuba's Foreign Minister,
DR.. Raul Rea, said at the U. N.
that Cuba was willing to discuss
with the United States "the
amount of compensation" for
American holdings taken over.

months ago to put the museum

Egyptologists in the world. DR..
Hassan graduated from the Sor-
bonne in Paris with degrees in

DR.. Hassan was appointed as
SiStant curator of Cairo Museum

King of selling archaeological
treasures abroad, DR.. Hassan says.
The tall gray-haired Egyptolo-

Broodcosting:
An EorfuI

Some weeks ago when, in the
wake of disclosures of rigged quiz
shows, payola and other sleazy
practices, the Federal Communi-
cations Commission scheduled
hearings on radio-television pro-
gram standards and its own re-
sponsibilities in the matter, it an
nounced that the public would be
given a chance to speak up.
The public was taking advan-
tage of the opportunity last week
and the FEC was getting an ear
full. Many of the witnesses,
apparently members of a long
suffering group, did not spare
the commission in their recitation
of what they believed was wrong.
While a minority held that the
broadcasting industry was doing
a reasonably good job and should
be permitted to police itself. the
consensus appeared to be that the
FEC has been too lenient, and the
networks have been disinclined to
obey agency regulations.
Nearly 10 witnesses will be
heard before the hearings are con-
cluded in mid-January. The FEC
hopes the exercise will help it de-
termine its own policing powers
and whether it needs new author
ity from Congress as a watchdog
over broadcasting.
There was more news last week
from CHS, which has been more
vigorous than any other network
in setting its own house in order.
Louis G. Cowan resigned as presi-
dent of the networks TV division.
He charged that DR.. Frank
Stanton, CHS president, had made
him a scapegoat because of his in
nocent association with the de-
funct and diScredited quiz sho,I.
The $4,000 Question, and had
forced him out. DR.. Stanton de-
MED this. He admitted he urged
Mr.. Cowan to resign and said he
told him so because "aS you your
self have said many times, ad-
mlnistration is not your forte"
