Davis calls Dulles ‘highly informed’

Washington –
John Foster Dulles, representative of Republican presidential nominee Thomas E. Dewey in foreign policy discussions here, conferred with a number of Republican Senate members yesterday, including Senator James J. Davis (R-PA).

Mr. Davis, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said their talk concerned post-war international cooperation and world peace and that he found Mr. Dulles “highly informed on the outstanding issues of this problem.”

The Senator said:

Mr. Dulles was particularly anxious to learn the attitude of the people of Pennsylvania regarding the entire matter of post-war international organization and world peace.

Mr. Dulles, between two conferences with Secretary of State Cordell Hull, also conferred with Senator Robert A. Taft (R-OH) and Wallace H. White Jr. (R-ME), both of whom indicated they believe Mr. Hull and Mr. Dulles in accord on fundamentals of post-war security.
