CHRISTIAN A. .
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

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.
Detailed agreements on the
package proposal are not ex

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.

allowed freedom to operate in

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.

Alec Clunes Takes
'Fair Lady' Role
LONDON. 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.
