JANESVTLLE, WIS. JANESVTLLE DAILY GAZETTE MONDAY, APRIL 12, 1954 PAGE SEVEN. UNDER THE CAPITOL DOME Ernest Swift Happy Federal Job Away From Turmoil i By JOHN WYNGAAKD new assist-l director of the U.S. Fish and; Wildlife Service gives every sign of 1hat he has escaped the political caldron that is the Wisconsin conservation department. JCrnest F.

Swift, who came here a month ago to help Director John Farley run the federal government's conservation administration declines to say much about the troubles he left behind when he suddenly, quit as the director of the Wisconsin conservation program under the conservation administration. But he makes it pretty evident that be believes he will be happy here, and that he was far from happy in the circumstances that surrounded his difficult job in the Wisconsin state government. When the visiting reporter asked him if he wanted to comment on the administration troubles that have prompted an inquiry by a legis- committee, he smiled and taid: "I resolved that I wouldn't make any public statements. Whatever I had to say I left behind in the file of records at Madison. Anybody is welcome to examine them EDGERTON NEWS Mrs.

I submitted the material asked for by Travis. (Assemblyman Robert Travis of Platteville is chairman of the Legislative Council sub-committee that has heard testimony on the explosive difficulties of the state agency.) QUIET FUTURE He referred to bundles of correspondence and other records which carefully documented over recent years difficulties with subordinates he regarded as insubordinate and commissioners he regarded as obstructive, until he finally found the situation in- 1 tolerable and departed for the bigger job in the national government. It turns out that the Wisconsin man, who spent 30 years of his life in conservation from enforcement work in the field to command of the administration during the last several offers in previous years to, join the national government serv. ice. He Is now No.

2 man in the federal service, half a dozen times the size of the Wisconsin agency in spending and manpower, and works for a man of strong Wisconsin background. Director Farley is a native of River Falls and once taught school in Black River Falls. THE SCOPE Swift is 58, and looks much younger. But he has the air of a man who is looking toward the close of his career and wants some quiet years of work before formal retirement. His years of service in the state system make him eligible now for a state retirement pension.

He expects to travel a good deal, in his job of overseeing the far- flung wildlife service empire of the national government that now includes some 18,000,000 acres of preserves and other national government properties. Swift's family is grown. His youngest son, a graduate forester who wants to follow his father In a conservation career, is now with the American occupation troops in Germany. The former director shows some interest in the developments In his old agency, including the decision of the commission on a director to replace him. But he says he has heard little directly from the department or the commission, and doesn't know who may be chosen for the state directorship, or whether the commission will bring In an outside man.

A part of Swift's work will be congressional in more practical language. 'He has begun making his acquaintances in the Senate and the House of Representatives, with the aid of Wisconsin congressmen. Geneva Major Test of Dulles By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON If energy was the- sole test, John Foster Dulles already would be one of the most successful secretaries of state in American history. Now 66, and in office less than 15 months, he has traveled more than, four times the distance around the earth In pursuit of American well-being since he' became secretary. Now he's on a rush trip to London and Paris to be sure he and the British and French foreign ministers see eye-to-eye when they meet with the Russians and Chinese Communists in Geneva April 26.

Then he will fly back here, report to President Eisenhower, and then turn around and fly to Geneva. Dulles' endurance has been impressive. Obviously, he's overworked. Judgement on Test But history, with icy detachment, will appraise him not on his energy or his earnestness but on his vision, his judgment and his backbone. All three face a major test at Geneva's conference on peace in Korea and Indochina.

More than peace in either place is involved. The Communists could consider the whole conference successful if they split the United States and France or, through propaganda, diminished this try's stature a little. Since last summer there has been a truce In Korea but no peace. And in fhe eight-year-old war between the French and the Communist-led Vietminh in Indochina there is no sign of either truce or peace. Always a Price Tag Peace in Korea seems impossible.

The United State wants Korea united in free elctions which the South Korean government, an American ally, would be sure to win if only because the South Koreans outnumber the North Koreans. It's hard to see the Communists buying that. Somehow, perhaps, they might be willing to stop helping the Vietminh against the French, which would mean a French victory. Even that sounds like wishful thinking. But if they did, there'd be a price, tag attached.

What price? The Chinese may have they could make a deal for themselves when their Russian ally arranged to let them sit in at Geneva, their first invitation to a Conference of the big powers. Wants Recognition The United States doesn't recognize the Red Chinese government, and it has opposed Peiping's seating in the United Nations where Chiang Kai-shek's ist regime sits as the recognized government of China. The Chinese may have when anyone suggests this he's for some concessions on Korea or Indochina they could get recognition by the United States and a seat in the U. replacing Chiang. In a New York speech March 28 Dulles seemed to close the door on both possibilities, so far as this country is concerned.

Even if he wanted to do business on those terms, he's under tremendous congressional pressure not to.
