But it appears to me that the nnwer-hungry, politically motivated PMA now is engulfing the Soil Conservation Service."

Hallanan might somehow pull a coup and stay on top, but in politics, where rewards go to the faithful, this doesn't appear likely.

(We don't base our assumption on what we hear is about to happen locally, but it does seem significant that Robert Ashworth, a Robert Taft man before the convention, is considering tendering his resignation as Republican County Executive Committee chairman.) In event Hill and Milsop take over control of the party, the next question is: Who will dispense federal patronage in West Virginia? Some people say Hill and Milsop will cut the state in half, with Milsop passing out the jobs in the north and Hill the south. Hill, it further is rumored, will slice his part of the pie, as a gesture of good will, with Paul Chambers, a Logan lawyer. the floor to the middle of the night cold, complained Wilbur, you souldn't. have done that.

Then he noticed Trellis Mae was staring intently at a newspaper. "What'g new?" he asked.

"Well, the paper is full of fur coat ads--and It's only 28 days until Christmas," replied Trellis Mae. "I've changed my mind," cried Wilbur, failing back on the bed. "It's cheaper to die." NEW YORK--A' solemn-looking man with a long, early-American face, a penchant lor green-tinted suits, and a habit, when deep in thought, of making small clicking noise with his tongue, is now the great enigma of every capital city, from Moscow to Washington. As secretary. of state, John Foster Dulles will be one of the world's key figures.

What manner of man is he? In his term at the State Department, what posture will the United States present to the world? As recently reported in this space, Dulles looks to a great many Europeans like a "fire- brtathing warmonger who would obliterate Europe with hydrogen bombs jn order to free Poland and so gain votes in-Hamtramck." It is hard to imagine a man less fitted in appearance and manner for this role. To an American, Dulles looks and talks much like the traditional American country lawyer sh-ewd (and perhaps downright wily where need be), cautious (he often hesitates a full minute before answering a question), highly, intelligent and extremely practical. Yet the war-monger image does exist in Europe, and its existence cannot be lightly disregarded. This image derives largely from the so- called "liberation policy." Some of Dulles' campaign-time political speeches on this subject no doubt sounded very fire-breathing to Europeans. Actually, away from the hustings, there seems to be little fire and much sound sense in Dulles' views on American policy toward the Soviet satellite empire.

These views can be summarized, according to reliable report, about as follows: if the Kremlin successfully absorbs and consolidates its great new empire, it will then be fre- without restraint to pursue its goal of world dominion.

technical phases of the department's mor. We think Hill is looking for something else. With patronage as a possible side issue--Milsop will tend to his steel-making at Weirton. But Hill, a Charleston lawyer, has no such overpowering economic ties. In casting about in Hill's background for what he might like, and figuring that he would aim for the top, we decided that one job in Washington would strike his fancy.

Now held by one, Raymond L. Foley, it is administrator of the Housing and Home Finance Agency, the catch-all for FHA, public housing, and Federal savings and loan. Hill is peculiarly qualified for this sort of work, for He has been in'one phase or another of housing since New Deal days. Prior to World War II he was in charge of two Charleston housing projects--Washineton Manor and Lit- 1 tic-page Terrace. He also was general counsel at that time for the ML Hope Housing Authority, which was the smallest such project in the United States.

When war started and housing came a critical item at Pt. Pleasant, I Hill was named executive director of the housing authority and saw to the building of 700 war housing units. He gave up his law practice and housing sidelirte for a tour of duty with the Navy in World War II, but went home to Charleston after the war to write the slum clearance law adopted by the 1951 Legislature. He has gained national recognition for his work in housing, for he has since appeared before the Senate Currency and Banking Committee and his testimony was made a part of the Congressional Record on the motion of Senator Taft. Also since the war he has partici- paled in the organization of the Charleston Slum Clearance and Redevelopment Authority and has served as its executive director.

He further organized a company that bought some 60 war surplus houses at Pt. Pleasant and moved them to Parkersburg where there was a greater need for them, and organized another company that has built 81 houses near the hydrogen bomb a at Aiken, S. C. Hill, moreover, is president of a lumber supply company in Charleston, has interests in others, and is director in a Charleston federal savings and loan association. Whether he could get the lush housing plum we don't know, especially since West Virginia was one of the few states that didn't join in the Eisenhower landslide.

But Hill's appointment would be a big help to his native state in future years. Federal funds have been allotted to several counties for housing development among them Raleigh, Fayette, Boone, Wyoming, Monroe, McDowell, and Kanawha and with a West Virginian in the front office of the national housing authority, we would be certain of understanding treatment of our housing problems. to him as president.

At the same time he'll have to put out the fires in the Republican administration--if he can--before they become a big blaze, while rounding up the best advice for any problem which Eisenhower has to settle himself. For example: Adams will have to handle the cat-and-dog fights that spring up among government officials and agencies; he'll have to unravel White Houre-congressional relations that snarl.

"Let's take a-new sober look at what has been happening to the Soil Conservation Service and its program. The soil-conservation program we had before the wreckers got to vi-ork is still the program we need for the future. Let's restore it and give it a green light to go ahead with its job --a job that is vital to the future of our nation." Briefly Speaking A pollster, taking a busman's holiday after all that election picking, reports one out of every three persons would like to change his or her first name. The other two, we presume, are probably named John or Mary.

It is not surprising that Stalin came oui on top in the Soviet reorganization. Russia is one place where it's the chairman who makes all the motions. out of his hair. It's another way of saying Eisenhower wants Adams to be his main buffer and chief of staff. Eisenhower has had long training in doing business 'through a chief of staff in the Army.

Judging from Adams' own description of his job, it will be up to When "pop's" wife presented him with his eleventh offspring in the space of thirteen years, the office force chipped in to present him with a well-earned gift--a silver tray witn what they told him his "coat of arms emblazoned thereon. "What's the idea of putting that funny lookin' duck on me coat of arms?" he protested. "That's no duck," explained the boss. "That's a stork with his legs worn off." There's a stage direction in one or Ring Lardner's early plays that gives a hint of the humor he was destined to achieve. The direction reads: "The curtain will descend at this point for seven days to -indicate the passage of a week."

Second, Dulles is reported to believe, that the Soviet satellite empire, "0 monolithic in outward seeming, is in fact subject to very heavy internal strainings. These strains would be greatly eased by an East West'agreement, recognizing on a permanent ba'sis the So overlordship of the satellite states. The West should flatly re- fu.e any such deal. There must be no new Munichs. No new Nazi-Soviet pacts, abandoning the subject nations forever to Moscow's rule.

At the same time, the internal strains within the Soviet empire can be aggravated by other, largely secret metnods. This specifically does not me armed rebellion. As Dulles has written: "Violent revolt be futile. Indeed, it would be worse than futile, for it would precipitate massacre." What Dulles apparently has In mind is the simple fact that change Is history's one constant. At some point in the future, a time of great change will' come to the Soviet empire, perhaps when Stalin dies, perhaps at another time.

When this time comes, a structure must exist within the satellite empire capable of being used to exploit the moment of opportunity. The West must also be prepared to exploit this moment boldly perhaps by offering immediately to a newly independent state'the same sort of guarantee against Soviet aggression Tito has been offered, slowly and by implication. These views may be disputed. But surely they are not the views of a "reactionary warmonger!" Other views reportedly held by Dulles, about American policy on this side of the Soviet empire, may also surprise the more violent of his European critics. He believes, for example, that an essentially revolutionary situation exists in certain areas of the world, where a tiny minority of exploiters rule a seething mass of the exploited.

Such revolutioaary situations are the Kremlin's central asset. There must be profound changes where society is organized in this way. But changes cannot be made over night, and therefore long plans for promoting change art called for. This one reason why Dullei strongly believes that a sort of national policy planning staff should be organized, and given direct representation on the policy, making National Security Council. Tl.e Kremlin, he points out, plani in decades.

The United States should at least plan in termi of four years, Instead of reacting spasmodically to crises ai they arise. Dulles also believes that hit own successful negotiation of the Japanese peace treaty can form a model for dealing with specific situations, where immediate action, rather than long range plan, ning, is called for. One of great competence, should be given. full responsibility for a single -mission in a single area--bringing relative order and stability to southeajt Asia, for example. He should given the widest latitude arid enthusiastic support in any courie he chooses to mission.

All this, of course, leaves rriafiy questions unanswered about JoVn Foster Dulles and the future of American foreign thing is certain. The 'next President and the next secretary of state together will have a golden opportunity to restore faltering American world leadership. It will take tough-mindedness, and indifference to inevitable criticism, a stern refusal to make petty political compromises, to offer the kind of American leadership thc world situation so insistently demands. But at least it can be said that the solemn-faced lawyer who is to be our next secretary of state appears to be a man of very strong will, very wide experience, and very great intelligence.

It's another of those in-between movies--considerable to recommend it, several things against it, with the advantages here slightly in the lead. For one thing Robert Taylor, as the pilot, Col. Paul Tibbets, is as fine a figure of an airman as ever donned a uniform and oxygen mask.

Further, he gives a strong, convincing performance. We see hirr. handpicked from routine European bombing missions for the super-secret assignment. He's placed in charge of training a large number of other cream-of-the-crop airmen at Wendover Field, Utah. The thing builds up to the foreseeable but still exciting climax--the fateful mission from Tinian to Hiroshima.

On the negative side are Tibbets' personal crisis, which M-GM has overstressed to stretch the filmT into an uncomfortable 122 minutes. These consist chiefly of agonizing airport reunions and partings with his beautiful wife (Eleanor Parker). When he finally brings her to Wendover, Field, he seems unnecessarily stiffnecked and stuffy in shushing her inquiries about his work. Finally Eleanor blows her top and demands of the security to This crisis looks like a story-conference phony. Any in real life (in a couple as lovey as this one) would have limply taken his wife into his arms and said, "Now, look.
