EDITORIAL (During- the absence of the editor, this column Mall carry an analysis of news developments by Associated Press writers) He Preserved Peace By JAMES MARLOW John Foster Dulles died in a world he never made. The forces which shook and shaped it were in motion before he became secretary of state.

He spent his six years in office trying to control them. It may been a matter of regret to him that, before his death Sunday, he had really settled nothing. But for six years he managed to preserve peace and hold Communism behind the frontiers it had when he secretary. That may have been the most any man in his tiine could have done. There were really two world? in the days of his growing up: the troubled rest of the world, saturated in feuds; and the American world, impregnable and self-sufficient in isolation.

That was when distance mean'. safety and survival lay in aloneness. The two oceans gave America time to prepare for anj attack and staying out of foreign alliances meant avoiding grief. It was an American dream that didn't last long. All of it was to change before cancer finished him.

Missiles have made the oceans look no more difficult than a country creek. There were still the two worlds in 1907 when Dulles was 19 and took his first dip into foreign affairs the field which was to dominate his life, his vision and his energy by going to the Hague peace conference. Within 10 years after that communism in Russia began the march which to change the history of mankind. It may not have seemed so at the time, for it took two wars to drag America out of isolation and melt two worlds into one. He had had a hand in the melting over the years as adviser to Democratic presidents and secretaries of state but until he took office in 1953 he never was in a position to direct policy or make it.

By that time America was deep in foreign entanglement, military and economic, made necessary by the cold war and the realization that communism could gorge itself in disunity. Then suddenly after Dulles took office there piled up on him a series of events never encountered by any American secretary of state. Forty-four days after Dulles- was sworn in Joseph Stalin died Within a few months the Sovie: Union exploded its first hydrogen bomb. a few- years it was boasting of missile that could carry hydrogen war heads across the oceans in minutes. This was a new and terrible power never possessed by any American enemy.

In a few years tune had lost its meaning, distance evaporated, and America Had to accommodate itself to the idea of annihilation without warning. Diplomacy had always been an international mine-field but never so sensitive, so savage or so loaded with the flowers of doomsday as the one Dulles had to pick his way through. With Stalin went the Sullen, humorless face of Communism. Stalin's had been a hand of iron, dripping blood. His successors put on the soft glove.

They smiled. They talked peace. With more imagination than their old boss they began to make progress in fields closed to Stalin whose tactics frightened nations as well as babies in the Middle East, Asia, Africa. Dulles, like President Truman and Secretary of State Acheson, had learned how to handle Stalin's tactics: with iron equal to his own. But now Dulles had to adapt himself to the new Soviet approach, more effective, twice as deadly.

foreign policy seemed based on the belief that if war could be avoided and if communism could be held tight in its present bottle it might, as he once said, undergo favorable changes. He didn't live long enough to find out if he right. He had too good a sense of history to pretend to be a positive prophet. In his last moments the most he could do was hope for the best in the belief he a done his best.

It's modern, soil-cement. Money savings and long life for Wisconsin roads! Low-cost soil-cement pavement grows stronger year by year! Maintenance crews can all but forget about the roads paved with soil-cement. Soil-cement holds up like no other low-cost pavement ever laid, has a life expectancy of 20 years plus. Soil-cementpavementis strong right from the start. And it keeps getting stronger! Tests after years of use, is stronger inch for inch than any other pavement short of concrete.

No softening, no break-up after a hard winter. That's why maintenance costs stay low. Initial cost? That's low, too, because road builders work with native soils. Soil, cement and water are mixed on the roadway, rolled solid. Thin bituminous topping is added.

Developed in 1935, soil- cement is now in service on more than 12,000 miles of roads. And street and highway officials everywhere are con- verting more mileage to soil- cement every year.

WASHINGTON W) Victims of cancer have included some of world's most famous personages. President Ulysses S.

Grant finished his memoirs only four days before he died of cancer in 18615. George Washington's mother died of cancer the year he became president in 1789. While radium is used today to control some forms of cancer, it was responsible for the perni- ciois anemia death of its discoverer, Marie Curie. And her daughter, Irene Joliot- Curie, a physicist with radium, died at the age of 58 of leukemia, a form of cancer brought on in case by over-exposure to radioactive materials. Since 1937, cancer has been he second leading cause of death in America, exceeded only by heart disease.

Its toll this With all the frank publicity hat goes out today about cancer and its victims, it is hard to be- ieve that it once was a disease veiled -in secrecy, unmentionable'. But it is only since World War authorities say, that cancer has been brought out in the open. Sometimes in the past, the prominence of the stricken person has led to concealment. President Grover Cleveland, lis life endangered by cancer on roof of his mouth, was secreted aboard a private yacht in Long Island Sound in 1893 for operations in which the entire left half of his upper jato was removed and replaced with an artificial section. It was not until years later this became generally down.

In sharp contrast was the prompt announcement of Secretary of State John Foster Dulles' condition. The names of some of the 'famous who were cancer victims such as writer Damon Runyon remain in the fight to conquer the Runyon Memorial Fund, begun in 1947, a year after his death, has channelled close to 12 million dollars into grants fellowships for cancer research. When actor. Red Skelton took his dying 9-year-old son, Richard, for a last look at some of the wonders of the world, the tragic, journey emphasized the plight of cancer sufferers. The American Cancer Society has-kept a list of prominent persons who died of cancer.

Some are recent and well-remembered: Actor Humphrey Bogart, nuclear scientist Enrico Fermi, actresses Gertrude I aw- rence and Susan Ball, Flying Tiger Gen. Claire L. Chennault; Sen. Robert A. Taft (R-Ohio), athlete Babe Didrickson Zaharias, designers Jacques Fath and Claire McCardle.

The years may have made many forgetful that baseball's home run king, Babe Ruth, died of cancer, as did songster George M. Cohan, animal collector Frank Buck, authors James Hilton and Gertrude Stein, news commentator Edwin C. Hill, Ziegfeld Follies girl Peggy Hopkins Joyce, bandleader Eddie Duchin, poet Edward Arlington Robinson, actress Jane Cowl and composer of "The Merry Widow," Franz Lehar. There are. also of the cured.

Two years ago, the American Cancer Society decided to turn the spotlight on them and inaugurated an annual "Congress of the Cured." Delegates adopted a pledge to speak out about their personal victories, to help raise money for research and to bring the frightened a message of hope that early cancer often can be cured. The name of Cairo is derived from its original El Qahira, or "The Victorious."
