Straight from Washington:
rt -
ton is Allen Dulles, brother of Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles. `'He"is the first civilian head of the Central Intelligence
Agency. Dulles doesn't make high policy; he produces the "intelli-
gence" on which high policy is made. Example: The Administra-
tion's "new look" military policy, including cuts in Army and
Navy, rests in part on'-premise that Russia is not likely to start a
war in the visible future (see story on page 26). Dulles's CIA
provided the appraisal on which that decision was based.
