HERTER UNITED STATES Acting Secretary of State Herter shares a dubious dis tinction with the foreign min- ' lsters of Great Britain, France J and West Germany meeting ] here today on the Berlin crisis. He Is not really the top man on foreign policy in his own country. _ ; Mr. Herter must defer on major decisions to the Presi- , dent, who has taken a new vig- , orous hold on foreign affairs. j and Secretary of State Dulles, who is ailing but who expects . to be back on the Job before the projected summit meeting on Berlin and Germany. Mr. Herter makes a loyal and respected number three man, j but he has enjoyed the distinc tion of being boomed in the , past for the number one Job, , the presidency. His qualifica tions are broad for any high Government post. I] He was bom in Paris of American parents. This always i raises the question of whether he could ever be President in : view of the constitutional pro vision that the President shall ] be a natural born citizen. Anyhow, his European back- 1 ground steered him to diplo- , macy and the United States'] Foreign Service before World War I. He has been a special assistant to the Secretary of i Commerce, a newspaper editor, i a member of the Massachusetts State Legislature. Congressman! and Governor of Massachusetts : , He has been Undersecretary i of State since 1956, and if Mr. Qulles is foiced to retire, he is the easy leader in the race to be his successor. He is a tall, shy man who likes hunting and fishing but must take it easy in order not to aggravate a bad case of : arthritis. Drug to Check Cancer & Predicted by Scientist BOSTON. Mar. 31 <AP>.—A s “magic bullet” for cancer—a j‘ drug that would kill or check ! the growth of cancerous cells i —was foreseen today by a i Philadelphia researcher. ; i Dr. Charles S. Cameron, dean of Hahnemann Medical Col-1 i lege, said a newly developed 1 anti-cancer drug cured two i hamsters who some months ago. had "full-blown actively grow- i ing cancers.” In a speech prepared for a luncheon opening the 1959 j' crusadu of the American Can- : cer Society in Massachusetts, Dr. Cameron said: "The principle of the magic 11 bullet for cancer, it seems toj me. has been established as! reasonable by this demonstra tion. “And if science has been able to do it for one kind of cancer in one kind of animal with one kind of drug, I have every con fidence that in the time to come science will develop other drugs effective against many cancers —probably all cancers—in the human species.” Dr. Cameron, a former medi cal and scientific director of the American Cancer Society, cau tioned, however, that the solu tion of cancer will not come all LOST BILLFOLD. black.

SELV/YN LLOYD GREAT BRITAIN Foreign Secretary Lloyd Is a man who has risen to the heights in several' fields, plunged to the depths in foreign affairs and has been in a rather uncomfortable limbo ever since the Suez fiasco of 1956. Prime Minister Macmillan has ikept him on the job, but has! preferred to use personal diplo macy when the stakes are really high. Mr. Lloyd is widely con sidered to be a brilliant assist- , ant but a too unimaginative , leader. j | He was the student body i leader at Cambridge University and captain of the football : team. He becamq a lawyer and •, then a judge. He joined the 1 Army as a private and left a brigadier general. , As a leading Conservative, he ; quickly rose in Parliament to ] near-cabinet rank under Sir l Winston Churchill and then, ' under Sir Anthony Eden, to the , head of the foreign ministry. ( With Sir Anthony, he dropped ( to the bitter depths of humilia tion over Suez. It was Mr. I Lloyd who had to'tell Commons that his and Mr. Eden's Suez policy had ended in disaster and that British troops would be withdrawn from Egypt under American and United Nations pressure. | He was a shaken man at that' time, and most "authoritative sources” in London said he was on his way out of the gov ernment. But the new Prime Minister Mr. Macmillan, kept him in the old job, as a temporary sop to the pro-Suez conservatives in; the party, it was said. That' was two years ago. A cool, aloof diplomat, he has carried the ball in foreign af fairs ever since, except on touchdown plays when the Prime Minister calls his own! i signal. | at once but rather the problem “will gradually crumble before; the attrition tactics of an army j of scientists, and bit by bit the, dimensions of cancer will di minish. . . The Philadelphia doctor, not ing that cancer kills 270,000 persons annually and that 40 million persons now alive in ' this country will be its victims, described “this monstrous af fliction” as the major health problem deserving the public's concern. This is so, he said, because “in general cancer signifies premature death, supreme physical suffering, abysmal de pression, incalculable economic loss and pathetic family dis ruption and dissolution.” POLICY , Continued From First Page to refrain from the use of force and promise not to do anything: inconsistent with the charter of the United Nations. 5. While a German settle-! ment is being worked out, both sides agree not to transfer atomic, biological or chemical weapons to East and West Ger- 1 many. Whether such a freeze would be complete, has not yet been decided. Partial Ban Preferred West Germany is understood to prefer a partial ban, perhaps j keyed to delivery systems. That 'is, Bonn may prefer to leave I Uie way open for later acquisi tion fit nuclear warheads for 'short range missiles, while agreeing not to accept nuclear warheads for intermediate and intercontinental range missiles. One of the tactical decisions to be made by the Foreign Ministers in their meetings here this week will be on the manner of presenting Western proposals for a peace treaty. The question is whether to confront Russia with a draft peace treaty at the outset or to confine the opening move to advancing a set of principles.

P j Jajisburghs ft t ML ; i ip Xv W t" * ■""" , JrrW *' JNkr im J MAURICE COUVEdeMURVILLE FRANCE The French Foreign Minister is a cool, quiet professional whose selection for the job last summer was a good Indication of the way Gen. de Gaulle planned to operate: The gen- i i eral, himself, took over the ] grand design of French policy, and left the details up to the ; I “technicians." i Mr. Couve de Murville is a t j top technician in the best sense ( of the world. He has held some i of the most important Jobs in j j the ministry—including the key < ambassadorships to Washing- I ton and Bonn but in the 1 Fourth Republic he always i served under a politician who < was minister. He took the top assignment 1 with some reluctance after as- 1 surance that his professional 1 status would be preserved. He’s 1 still no politician. < But he is an excellent nego- j tiator for Gen. de Gaulle. An economist and finance expert ' j originally, he is methodical and I thorough. His role at the Big Four foreign ministers and the , NATO conference is expected to be that of the advocate of a tough line on Berlin and per- , haps the defender of the De , Gaulle decision to loosen the French Navy’s ties with NATO. ( Premier de Gaulle has no in- , tention of giving away any of • the Western position in Berlin ( except in exchange for a lot of \ fat birds in the hand. Mr. Couve de Murville has been a De Gaulle man since i ; 1943. The Vichy government i fired him from a post in the i Finance Ministry, and he went i to North Africa first to be an i aide to Gen. Giraud, and then, ; when Gen. de Gaulle took over, • to be finance commissioner to the French Committee of Na [tional Liberation, j: pected to be worked out here ! this week. The most that is expected is agreement on a set of general principles to guide the working group of experts which is to resume its meetings in Paris next week. As in most matters before j the Foreign Ministers, West Germany’s attitude will be given special consideration. Chancellor Adenauer of West Germany is known to fear the consequences of exposing too much of the Western position, including concessions, before counter concessions are ex tracted from Russia. Package Offer Likely j For that reason, the four [ parts of the omnihus working paper are expected to be re fined into a four-stage pack age proposal which the Soviet Union will be asked to accept as a whole. If the Kremlin balks at any part of the proposal, the West will not be bound to accept any of the other parts. One proposal in the expert’s; paper on building a loose fed eration of the provinces in East | and West Germany calls for' provincial elections to form a commission which would un dertake a step-by-step rap prochement between the Com munist and the non-Commu jnist zones. , The commission, according to preliminary suggestions, would begin by reuniting communica tions, transportation and trade ! organizations. May Follow Cyprus Pattern In later stages there would be provisions for executive and I judicial duality, with executives ;;and judges of East and West i Germany having an equal voice in some matters. The pattern I might follow the general lines i of the Cyprus settlement. Two of the most important ; principles expected to be in cluded in the Western pro ! posals for an all-German peace ' treaty concern human rights !|and frontiers. II In the human rights clauses. : | the West shall insist that 1 democratic parties be guaran teed complete freedom to eper -1 ate in the Eastern zone on an ; honest, competitive basis r At the same time, presumably. >; the Communist Party would be allowed freedom to operate in 5 West Germany. -I The freeze on military man kfth _ j! m II t : ftjytr HEINRICH VON BRENTANO WEST GERMANY There is no Number Two man in the West German govern ment-only the Number One, “Der Alte,” old Konrad Ade nauer, himself, and various Number Threes. The word was out a few years ago that Dr. von Bren tano was the Number rwo and that he would take over the Christian Democratic Party and the chancellorship on Dr. Adenauer’s retirement. But the octogenarian ended the rumors by deliberately slighting Dr. von Brentano and by taking advice on foreign policy from other people. But the chain-smoking dip lomat has kept the Foreign Ministry since June, 1955, and has been a consistent spokes man for the tough Adenauer policy in Central Europe. His statements on arrival here “Reunification can come only on free democratic elections by the German people’’—indicate the toughness has not been lost. Flexibility is the new watch word, however, in the NATO alliance. Even Herr Adenauer has made some small sounds that the “flexionists” interpret as a new approach, perhaps, to reunification through stages. One of the interesting phases of this week’s double con ference will be the laying out of any new flexibility before Dr. von Brentano. and the pause while his reaction is awaited. Dr. von Brentano is a doc tor of law and a Hessian. He was a leading party worker in I the Christian Democratic Union after the war and he became chairman of the Bundestag Foreign Affairs Committee. He was named Foreign Minister when Chancellor Adenauer de cided to drop that portfolio (from his many jobs. power would apply to the forces of the principal Atlantic and European nations throughout the world, but of course would not regulate Communist Chi nese forces because Peiping will not participate in the ne gotiations. Gradual Cuts Sought In the American proposal at the London disarmament talks on August 29, 1957, it was sug gested that the United States and the Soviet Union immedi ately reduce their forces to 2.5 million men. The United King dom and France were to cut their manpower levels to 750,- 000 men. In later stages, as progress was made on nuclear disarma ment and solving political dif ferences, the American plan en visaged manpower cuts to 2.1 million men and eventually 1.7 million men for the United States and the Soviet Union. Britain and France were to come down to 700,000 men in the second step and 650,000 in the third step. ! The second and third step manpower cuts were to be co ordinated with limitation of armaments. Designated quan tities of arms were to be placed in storage depots inside the owners’ borders. If manpower cuts were to go beyond the 1.7 million-man level the United States pro posed that some of the arms on deposit in the depots be de stroyed as force levels came down. “KITCHEN SPECIALISTS” FEATURING AT OUR NIW SHOWROOM LOCATED AT EXPERT HEMODELIJVG 4914 WISCONSIN AVE.

Mar. 31 (AP).— Veteran Actor Alec Clunes stepped Into Rex Harrison’s shoes in “My Fair Lady” last night, and the consensus of the critics was that the fabulous musical is as good as ever. Mr. Clunes, a ruddy, stocky, gray-haired Briton, is 46. and this was his first venture into musical comedy in 27 years of professional acting. Like the 51-year-old Harri son, who created the role of Prof. Higgins on Broadway nearly three years ago and left the cast at his own request. Mr. Clunes substitutes charm for a singing voice. i!
