A tall man in an Ivy League suit got out and sauntered into the dimly lit saloon. "A sweet he ordered.

For Winniza, claims Lindgren, is Russia's top school for Soviet spies scheduled for stateside assignment. Russian spy training in Win- niza, a tightly guarded town of 30,000 inhabitants in the central Ukraine, is the "most efficient in the Lindgren claims. "NOBODY GRADUATES until th'ey are completely indoctrinated into the American way of life," he said. Some of them spend up to 13 years there before their big an comes."

President Eisenhower Thursday conferred with hospitalized John Foster Dulles regarding selection of a'new secretary of state.

Dulles' Record Argued He Will Be Sorely Missed By JOHN HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON John Foster Dulles has been both violently denounced and extravagantly praised for his work in foreign affairs. Few men in his position have been more controversial, and historians will be slow to adopt President Eisenhower's estimate that he was the country's greatest secretary of state. But there can be no doubt that in the critical weeks ahead he will be sorely missed. HIS SUCCESSOR faces a tough task in picking up the direction of foreign policy where Dulles, stricken by cancer, has put it down. In the six years he was in office, the lawyer-diplomat achieved great stature, not only as a figure in American government but also as a leader of the free world in its struggle against expansive Chinese Communism.

He demonstrated a rugged capacity for work-days, nights and probably few other men can equal.

Even high officials in his own organization looked to his news conferences many times for fresh light en his policy thinking about critical problems. Some weeks ago while DirJles was undergoing cancer treatment at Walter Reed Army Hospital this reporter asked a State Department officill who was really running U.S. foreign policy. "Dulles," he replied. "When there is a meeting on some problem, everyone tries to figure out what the secretary would decide if he were there.
