I cant tried-all' any occasion
when an American secretary ol
state has devoted such strenu
ous effort ito -behind-the-llms's
unity as has Pewter Dulles in
connection with the foreign
ministers conference which be
gins Thursday.
Dulles has spoken personal
ly to the representatives of at
least 36 nations in addition to
a large igrouip of American con
gressional leaders explaining
and trying to insude their sup
port. or at least their silence if
they disagree, for the Allied
program at Geneva. The mat
ter certainly will come up dur
ing his visits to Austria and
Yugoslavia.
Every American and Euro
pean nation with which the U.
S. as aill'ied has been consulted,
and thebe seems to be unparal
leled unanimity. Duilles made
a spediial trip to Italy just to
demonstrate to her people and
government the concern of the
Big Three ifor their opinions,1
despite the fact that the Allies
are not inclined to complicate
things with Russia iby includ
ing the Wartime enemy, Italy,
in the formal western lineup
for peace discussion's.
It is noticeable but not par- J
ticuilarly significant that these'
pre-Geneva consultations have
been With members of Ameri
ca’s two great western al'lian- j
ees, NATO and the Western
Hemisphere Pact, and not with ^
Southeast Asian or other Or
iental allies. So far, the United
States dis moving very deliber
ately wiilth regard to policy in
that area.
Aside from clarifying the
allied program and heightening
the appearance Of Western un
ity as the Big Three meet the
Russians, the pre-Geneva ex
planations also serve to give ad
Vance Warnings Of the known J
difficulties to ibe faced.
Thie allies realize that they
aren’t offering Russia much in
return for German reunifica
; tion, which they have coupled
with an All-European security
pack as ithe chief topic of the
conference. They are saying
“You give up East Germany,
and well! see to it that the uni
fied Germany never attacks
you.”
Russia is very likely to say
“Why give up East Germany
when, as long as <we have it, we
can see to that ourselves.”
In that case, the allies have
' made it clear they intend to
trade no principles, no part of
their own strength such as
West German affiliation with
NATO, for a dangerous decade
a peaceful looking but non-ma
terial settlements.
By clarifying all this in ad
vance. The Big Three hope to
avoid the disheartenment a
mong theiir allies which might
follow the failure of Geneva
I to produce any real progress.

ing the heavy (bag, and running
six miillles on the road.
It is the heavy (bag which iim
pressed Joe Louis on has visit
here. The former heavyweight
champion, who knows a little
about attempted comebacks, j
claims road work and the heavy
bag are essential in such an en
deavor.
j oe s opinions on xiu w xvu'u
inson looks can be taken or left
alHone, as ex-champions are no
toriously poor picks when it
comes /to sizing up fighters.
Jim Corbett, the story goes, had
| such a poor record in that re
spect that he was accused of
never picking one right.
“I did too,” Cortbett said hea1
edly. “When I fought Jefferies
I knew in the third round he
was going to win.”
Anyway. Louis, after first
l saying he believed Olson would
beat Sugar Ray, hedged a little
after watching Robinson go six
rounds.
“I can’t see any difference 'be
tween Robinson today and Rob
inson of three years ago,” be
marveled. “His reffllexies seem
.good and he was punching
where he wanted to punch.”
However, Louis, who did pick
the recent Rocky Marciano-Ar
chie Moore bout right and there
by preserved his standing in
the fight packers, still wouldn’t
commit hiimself. until he had
seen Olson work out.
Roibinson .is going to stay here
until Thursday, and then go to
Chicago for the final week of
training. That will make a to
tal of five weeks to try to re
