Dulles Rejects NEW YORK, Jan. 12 (IP)—Sec retary of State Dulles, speaking two weeks before the opening of the Berlin Big Four conference, tonight rejected any deal for a "division of world power" with the Soviet Union. In a speech prepared for the Council on Foreign Relations, Dulles said this country is nego tiating only "to advance the cause of human welfare."'He said it will not join any "conspiracy against freedom" to gain an illusion of security by dividing , the world "with those who' suppress free dom." Many diplomats believe th e major aim of Soviet diplomacy now is to win acceptance by the Western powers of a vast Com munist sphere in Eastern Europe arid other areas. In his address Dulles also: • 1. Reported the Eisenhower ad Murray explained that the pool formed by the fraternities would bring the same benefits in buying meat as the canned good:, plan had brought. n four years the Association has grown from an original working capital of $l5OO to $5OOO, while individual frat ernities have benefited finan cially. • A discount of at least ten per cent will be the minimum amount which the Board of Trustees will probably accept, Murray said. He explained to `the group that the proposal would entail an increased amount of paper work, which in turn would require the hiring and paying of a part-time secretary to audit the invoices. The average amount spent for meat in fraternities, Murray con tinued, is about $5OO a month. By working with the member frater nities the Association works on a budget of over $lO,OOO. He ex plained , that 4200 would be need ed, to pay a secretary, rent an office, and acquire the necessary machines to conduct the business transactions adequately. This figure of $2OO would then require two per cent )f the As sociations budget; this in turn would lower the amount of dis count to the' fraternity to eight per cent, which as Murray point ed out, is.the lowest figure which is acceptable for a financial sav ing to the members. Members questioned their as { surance of obtaining choice cuts 1 of meat. Murray explained that a quality control program handled by a permanent committee check ing for the U.S. federal stamp on meat in the jobbers' store houses, plus confidence in the jobbers would eliminate this problem. If meat is included by FMA, plans call 'for bids at least twice a semester; however, those mem- bers who would rather submit their entire meat bill for the month may do so. The splitting _of the house's meat bill is to .lessen the initial outlay by the frater nity. Alterations Completed In Old Main Lounge The renovated Old Main. lounge will open today. Alterations— which created a conference room by partitioning the rear of the old lounge—were completed yester day. The new conference room has already been put to use. A group met in the room yesterday after noon. 'World Power Split' ministration has made a basic de cision to rely - upon "massive re taliatory power" for security of the United States and the free world. 2. Said the administration's pol icy will provide more real secur ity at less cost but will not guar antee against all future Commu nist - successes. There may well be setbacks, Dulles said, but the im portant thing is to make them temporary and "local." 3. Issued another call for Euro pean nations to set- up the Euro pean Defense Community, under which French, German, and oth er soldiers would form a united army. Dulles 'said Communist agents already are looking for ways to fan distrust between France and Germany into an in ternational fire. Without EDC, he said, European security and fu ture peace are in jeopardy.

Swim Club Canceled The Swimming Club will not meet tomorrow night. 4. Found hope for eventually re solving Western troubles with Russia by' -persisting in policies that promote human freedom, be cause "there-are limits to the now er of any rulers indefinitely to suppress the human spirit." Dulles' speech was a review of foreign and defense affairs during President Eisenhower's first year in office. He devoted part of it to the policy of depending on "mass ive retaliatory power" for defense of the free world. This decision, he said, permits the United States to shape its own conduct for its own purposes, in-. stead, of making . a- series of emer gency decisions in response to So viet acts. He related to this basic decision the President's recent an nouncement of withdrawal of two divisions -from Korea and devel opment of a slower paced, longer range program for buildup of European defense.
