MEMORANDUM FOR THE DIRECTOR:
Mr. Amory telephoned MB this morning regarding the request from Martha
Bucknell of FORTUNE for permission to have their photographer take a Candid
photograph of Mr. Dulles. Mr. Amory said that there should be no photograph
of Mr. Dulles with the article which Charles J. V. Murphy had written after
a conference with Mr. Amory for FORTUNE. Mr. Amory expressed the belief that
some make-up girl down the line likely wanted the picture to dress up the
story.
I immediately thereafter phoned Mr. Murphy. He said he wanted the photo-
graph because they had run one a year ago of Mr. John Foster Dulles. I
reminded him that they had also run one .of Mr. Allen W. Dulles on a CIA
story. He said what he had in mind to illustrate his story was a picture of
Allen Dulles, one of Mr. Anderson (Defense), and the entrance to the National
Security Council meetin, room.

However, he stated
that he thought this was a short-sighted decision. I told him I understood
his attitude, and that sometimes we, too, may be of two minds, but under the
circumstances in this case, this is the correct decision. He said that he
would respect our wishes.
Copy to Mr. Amory.
