Dulles Ends Defense Plan Survey By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON \—Secretary of State Dulles winged homeward |‘ from Europe today with what was apparently an encouraging report for President Eisenhower ‘about chances for early action to give West Germany an important role in Europe’s defense against Soviet power. Dulles and Mutual Security Di- rector Harold E. Stassen concluded a swing around seven Allied Euro- pean capitals yesterday and, ac- cording to news accounts, left for home believing: their airborne di- plomacy had been successful in getting European defense repara- tions back into high gear. Dulles and Stassen come home to find a collection of problems ranging from the Korean War to matters of personnel and organi- zation, no less burdensome than when they left 10 days ago. Their first task was to give Eisenhower an account of their impressions. Dulles is understood to have fol- lowed what the Europeans re- garded as a very firm line about the need which the Eisenhower administration sees for urgency in unifying and strengthening Eu- rope’s defenses. Chancellor Konrad Adenauer of West Germany said Dulles had set ; and Turkey will shortly begin ne-;Secretary Eden and Chancellor | April 1 as the deadline for getting | gotiating a three - way alliance ‘clear and visible signs” that a/|which will treaty providing for a European defense force will be ratified. strengthen NATO's | southeastern flank.

One is that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization itself, . which now includes 14 nations in Europe and North America, should be strengthened as as rapidly as the resources of the member countries will permit. Another is to close the gap be- tween NATO and such other coun- tries as Yugoslavia and Spain.

As he turned his attention from Europe to his broader responsibil- ities as secretary of state, Dulles faced a variety of problems of which these stand out: 1, Development of U. S. Korean War policies aimed at making the Eisenhower last week took the wraps off Chi- nese Nationalist attacks on Red China. There has been some evi- dence the administration was con- sidering a naval blockade of the China coast. Allied countries are reportedly afraid of the dangers of sueh a course, but among Re- publicans in -congress sentiment for a blockade is growing. 2. Preparation of material for Congress in line with Eisenhower’s call for repudiation of ‘‘secret un- derstandings of the past,” appar- jently meaning the 1945 Yalta Agreement and possibly others. The President's State of the Union message was not definite on what he wants repudiated and presum- |ably the State Department will spell out legislation before Con- gress acts. Chairman Wiley .(R-Wis) of the Senate Foreign Relations Commit- tee said in a New York speech Saturday the U. S. was “incredibly naive” not to have repudiated Yalta ‘‘and the other secret agree- | ments” a long while ago. Sen. Fer- guson (R-Mich),- a committee member, porposed yesterday a full-scale inquiry of all outstanding agreements with other countries as a preliminary to any formal repudiation. He said Congress must make sure that “we are absolutely free from any oblgation under these secret sell-outs.” 3. Preparation for talks with a stream of visitors.
