MATTER OF WEEKS In response to a question, Halleck said at first there will be no "firm determination" for several days as to whether Dul les will be able to continue in the top state department post.

Now the talk is about holding it here about April 1.

A major factor in such a shift would be to permit Dulles to take part, if he is able, without a long journey. Cuba Banning Nickel, Dime Games in Move HAVANA, Feb. 17.
