With the presidential campaign heating up, Dulles reportedly wants a completely free hand to attack the Administration's for-ign' policies; where he disagrees with them, and to influence as far as he canthe shaping of Republican party proposals in this field, He is ah advocate of an ultimatum policy toward Russia of warning the Kremlin that if it starts any more Korea-type wars it will face conflict with the United States. WAY IS CLEARED Dulles is understood to have advised Truman and Secretary of State Acheson, this week of his decision to break off any fixed, official links with the Adminis tration.

Senate approval on Thursday of the Japanese peace treaty, which the President is expected to ratify formally next week, cleared away the final obstacle to Dulles' action. An official announcement on Dulles' status, probably in the form of an exchange of correspondence, is-expected early next In the future Dulles will be available to Acheson and other officials for occasional consulta tion ana probably win be in touch with the State Department about once a week. His home and headquarters are in New York City, where he is a FRIEND OF DEWEY In his own party, Dulles has not yet declared for any candi date for the nomination. He has long been closely associated with New York Gov. Thomas E.

Dewey, who is a supporter of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower. Had Dewey been elected President four or eight years ago it was understood that Dulles would have become secretary of state. Dulles has been a key figure, along with the late Sen.
