WASHINGTON STAN JUL 2 1956 FOIAb3b Approved For Release 2000/08/24: CIA-RDP70-00058R0001 -4 ilen W. Dulles Talks,at Church The United S a es is carrying out many of the principles of the Monroe. Doctrine on a world- wide basis, Allen W. Dulles, di- rector of the Central Intelli- gepee Agency, declared yester- day. Mr. Dulles spoke at a service during which documents -taken 'from the, o d cornerstone of the Georgetown Presbyterian Church 3115 P street N.W., were trans- ferred to a new cornerstone in the restored building. President Monroe, himself, laid the original stone. Mr. Dulles took note of this, declar- ing that this country today has "many elements of similarity" with the problems faced by the Nation in 1821 when the original cornerstone was laid. President Monroe, he pointed out, was trying to protect the new world republics against totalitarianism just as today the United States is attempting to help other countries fend off communism. The Rev. Dr. Albert J. Mc- Cartney, minister emeritus of the National Presbyterian Church, prayed for President Eisenhower, who sent a letter to the church's congregation. Mr. Eisenhower pointed out that the congregation was founded during the American Revolution. "The memb'rs," it read, "have demonstrated their belief in tolerance, their cop,-- cern for education and theme tliance on devine law. Thig' building and the historical heri- tase it symbolizes surely will be continuing inspiration." ki, CPYRGHT Approved For Release 2000/08/24: CIA-RDP70-00058R000100130101-4
