Reviewing Eisenhower administration work- in foreign and security affairs during its first year taking a quick look at the future, Dulles made these basic points: Future "United States, Britain and France will negotiate at Berlin for the unification of Germany and the liberation of Austria. The aim is "advance the cause of human welfare." The way to a cold war If the free nations devote thero- aeives to promoting freedom, they will effectively demonstrate Its advantages to people behind the Iron Curtain, thus offering "our greatest hope" for solution of the Soviet problem.

Dulles said there is now, even within Russia, a test of strength between the people and "the powerful rulers." Free world Elsen- hower administration has made a "basic decision" to build its security upon "massive retaliatory power" so that Russia may be deterred from attack. Dulles linked the announced withdrawal of two security at less cost. "Only Hope" Allied the Bix- nation European Defense Community is set up, the North Atlantic Alliance "and indeed future peace, are in jeopardy." Dulles, who calls EDO the only hope for easing French-German tensions, those tensions as a fuse for Betting off "international arson." Bipartisanship In foreign policy made a bid for Democratic support by saying that many policies of the Truman administration "were good." He mentioned Greek-Turkish aid, European economic aid, the breaking of the Russian blockade of Berlin, the fight against communism in Korea the military buildup in Europe. But he said these were moves born of emergency which do not necessarily make "good permanent policies." It seemed to be In this sense that he hailed the decision by the National Security Council, headed by President to build a strategy upon the power of re- That means, he said, that the United States no longer must respond to every maneuver of the divisions from Korea to this de- Soviets but that It has a governing direction for choices It will mnki in its own major Interest. No Magic Formula He said the administration had not found a "magic formula" fo preventing any communist victory and he continued: "What we do expect to Insure If that any setbacks will have temporary and local significanci because they will leave unim paired those free world nsset which in the long run will prevail "If we can deter such aggression as would mean general war, anc that is our confident resolve, then we can let time and fundamentals work for us." Dulles will fly to Berlin at the end of next week, probably to con fer with British Foreign Secretary Eden and French Foreign Minister Bldault before their meeting with Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov.

The Big Four sessions are scheduled to open Jan. 25. The big issues are German reunification and a peace treaty for Austria.

He told newsmen he hadn't understood it WHS to work that way. A well-informed administration source said the strike poll idea was put forward by Secretary of Commerce Weeks at the suggestion of management groups and written Into the Smith bill at the White House. Weeks could not be reached for comment. AFL and CIO leaders denounced the plan as a "strike-breaking device." Sen. Murray (D-Mont).

Ives told newsmen he docs not like the President's strike vote the balloting is to be held before or after a wnlkout gels underway.

He said such would be supervised by the National Labor Relations actually an effort to question union leadership. The New Yorker also said he doubted "the rank and file would reverse themselves" in a government-sponsored poll lifter first agreeing to strike in a union-held vote. The furor over the strike poll proposal apparently made Smith relent from his stated opposition more committee hearings on TnflJ-Inrtley revision. Despite vigorous Democratic de- for hearings on the Eisen- lowcr proposals, Smith had held irm against them, contending the pertinent ground had been covered in lengthy hearings last year. But after committee Republicans met behind closed doors ys- rday, Smith told newsmen: "We will have to have hearings on the secret ballot issue." However, he said he wants to limit them "as far as possible."

The Eisenhower administration, struggling to balance the budget, would probably frown on such revenue losses for now, though holding out hope for such action in the future. ruary 1951," he said. The GOP farm chief said the Eisenhower administration's new farm program featuring flexible price supports would help producers of crops to make adjustments and win back customers who now, he said, are looking to other sources of supply because of high supports. so forth. Much of the rewriting is aimed at clarifying and simplifying the tax structure that has grown haphazardly for over 70 years without any general overhaul.

One GOP member said a "substantial majority" of Republicans on the committee has agreed to back the major points in the revision program, discussed by them in a. series of private meetings over the past 10 days. Democrats complained that they had to wait for today's session to get their first official on specific poins in the program. They too have held private meetings on tax issues, but members reported no party-line decisions were reached. Some Democrats have complained that the tax revision program, as they understand it has been charted by Republicans, would give too much help to business and not enough to the man in the street.
