Dulles
Should
NEW YORK, March . 29 (IP) —Secretary of State John Foster Dulles said tonight the free world
should take "united action" to prevent Communist conquest of Indochina and all Southeast Asia.
"This might involve serious risks," he said. "But these risks are far less than those that will face
us a few years from now, if we dare not be resolute today."
Dulles spoke out, with the advance approyal of President Dwight D. Eisenhower, in a major foreign
policy address on the Communist
threat in the Far East.
His call for "united action," it
was learned, had been specifically
cleared with the President in a
weekend conference at the White
House.
The wording was kept general
on purpose, officials said, in order
to avoid tipping off the Commun
ists about what to expect. By
speaking of "united action" Dulles
made clear he meant a move by
the United States as well as its
allies, in contrast to a previous
speech in which he spoke about
possible American retaliation.
' He declared in an address pre
pared for delivery b e f ore the
Overseas Press Club that if the
Reds won control over any sub
stantial part in Indochina "they
would surely resume the same
pattern of aggression against other

Dulles 'said he spoke out "to
clarify further the United States
position" so that the Communists
would know in advance "where
his aggression could lead him."
"Communist control of South
east Asia would c a rr y a grave
threat to the Philippines, Aus
tralia and New Zealand, with
whom we have treaties of mutual
assistance," }le said.
"The entire Western Pacific
area, including the so-called "off : -

tegically endangered."
In a speech carried to a nation
by radio and television, Dulles
said the U.S. government has no
intention of granting diplomatic
recognition to Communist China
or voting for its entry into the
United Nations.

Trustees Move
Site of Chapel
To Hurt Woods
The University Board of Trustees this weekend changed the site
for the All-Faith Chapel from the area east of the University Lz
brary to Hort Woods, facing Curtin road. -
The trustees changed the site because the original site would be
too small for the large unit of the chapel which will seat approxi-
mately 2000 persons. The new site
was described as "the greatest in
spirational use to which Hort
Woods could be dedicated."
Construction to Begin
Construction on the first unit of
the chapel will be started as soon
as the final architectural plans
are ready, President Milt on S.
Eisenhower, announced yesterday.
The decision was made when
the trustees learned t hat more
than $125,000 of the needed $175,-
000 is now available.
The recent transfer of $4700
from the Penn State Foundation
and of $25,000 in bequest money
placed at the trustees' disposal ac
counted for the increase in avail
able funds.
The design for the chapel will
make possible construction of the
building in four units. They are
the small meditation chapel; a
connecting unit; the bell tower;
and the main chapel.
Plans Feature Georgian Style
Plans provide for the building
to be of Georgian style using brick
with limestone trim.
The meditation chapel will pro
vide seating facilities for private
devotions, weddings, baptismal
services, and other small services.
It will have a small choir loft
and, in the basement, social rooms,
a kitchen, and storage facilities.
The connecting unit, opening
onto a terrace on the ground level,
will provide facilities for the of
fice of the chaplain, z. lounge, and
the sacristy.
Chapel to Have Meeting Rooms
Facilities for clerical help, reli
gious counselors' rooms and stor
age will be on the second floor.
A meeting room and additional
rooms for counselors will .be in
the basement.
-The main chapel will include a
balcony to the rear, above the
narthex. Space for the chair will
be provided • on one side of the
chancel and 'for the clergy on the
other side:
The basement of this unit will
provide seminary rooms. addi
tional social facilities, storage, and
other necessary utilities.
policy saying: "It is now the pol
icy of the United States not to ex
change United States performance
for Communist promises."
Previewing the American posi
tion at the April 26 Geneva Peace
Conference on Korea and Indo
china, Dulles said:
"We hope that any Indochina
discussion will serve to bring the
Chinese Communists to see the
danger of their apparent design
so that they will cease and desist."
