Dulles Says U.S. Relies on Alianc:'-rns
NXW YORK, March 16 (W)—
Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles said today the cornerstone
of American military and diplo
matic policy is a system of alli
ances with other free nations not
a blind reliancd on atomic weap
ons.
He asserted the United States
has no intention of depending
merely on its capacity for mass
ive atomic and thermonuclear re
taliation to scare off possible Com
munist aggressions. Instead, Dul
les said, the United States would
deal separately with each case 'in
the most appropriate manner,
making full use of local defense
forces.
The secretary, writing in the
quarterly Foreign Affairs, clari
fied, qualified and expanded his
previous explanations of the Eis
enhower administration's "new
look" defense policy. That policy,

Dulles' article stressed:
"The cornerstone of security for
the free nations must be a collec
tive system of defense . . . with
out the cooperation of Allies we
would not even be in a position
to retaliate massively."
In a section titled "the strate
gy to deter aggression," Dulles
said the best means would be a
combination of local defense
forces on the scene reinforced by
more mobile deterrent p owe r.
"The method," he declared, "will
vary according to the character of
the various areas."
Dulles also asserted the free
world cannot match the Soviet
Union and Red China "man for
man and tank for tank" at every
danger point. Instead it must
make the maximum use of its
own assets which include air and
naval power and atomic weapons
which are now available in a wide
range.

Kenneth H. Dixon, president of

nounced that union shop stew
ards will discuss problems in
volved in several threatened din
ing hall walkouts at a meeting at

Dixon said a meeting is also
planned with University officials,
including President Milton S. Eis
enhower, later this week or early
next week. He said action on the
dining hall trouble, which tie
termed as "serious," must be tak
en then.
The threatened walkout last
week was credited to a "misun
derstanding" by Ray T. Fortu
nato, University co-ordinator of
labor relations. IT nion sources,
however, have blamed the trou
ble on old and new grievances,
many resulting from dissatisfac

classifications.
