Mr. Allen Dulles, Director
Central Intelligence Agency
Washington, D.C.
Dear Mr. Dulles:
Enclosed is a recent column of mine which is a
tribute to your deceased brother, John Foster Dulles.
I think he was a great American, but you will be able
to tell that upon reading the column,
It is my personal belief that the tougher we get with
the Reds, the more tractable the latter will become.
They are only amenable to force, or the threat of force.
Which is typical of those who suffer from a bully compLex.
With continuing regards,
I remain,

TODT'S OPINION

tyrant for the
moment,
may demon-
strate that
there is a sil-
ver lining to
every cloud.
This should
be no excep-
tion. Here is
why:
The Bolshevik leaders in
the Kremlin, plus their
Red Chinese stooges in
Peiping, are now revealed
to be not very far removed
from wily neurotics with
a schizophrenic bent - if
indeed there is any real
difference. Many of ys
have known this right
along. But there also have
been far - too - nurnerous
wishful thinkers in the
Western camp who blindly
hoped otherwise.
Particularly to the clique
devoted to world govern-
ment, centered largely in
the World Fedexalist
movement and related
radical liberal organiza-
tions. To these starry-eyed
dreamers, Khrushchev
and Mao Tse-tung could
do no wrong. They were
willing to make any ac-
commodation with the
enemy, even to the extent
of giving up our qualita-
tive' nuclear arms and
national sovereignty. This
kind of lunacy ought to be
apparent now for what it
really is to. all who take
the trpuble to open their
us. But there is more to
be absorbed in this in-
triguing lesson.
The breakdown of the
summit was no great loss
-in fact many Americans
had long been counseling
against it. After the idio-
tic results produced by the
first summit meeting in
Geneva several years ago,
I thought it was absurd for
us to be led like a lamb
to another slaughter.
Quite sadly, events have
proven us right. I write
the word "sadly" because
this is one time when we
might prefer to have been
mistaken. For it was a
real tragedy to see the
vituperative Khrushchev,
cause President Eisen-
hower to go all, the way,
to Paris-almost a . prop,
as it were, for his hammy
histrionics-just to be un-
loaded upon.
Here was Eisenhower, a
soldier who has devoted
his whole term in the
Presidency to world peace,
suddenly turned into the
butt for Mr. K's ribald and
scurrilous buffoonery.
Fortunately for us, Ike
was so mad about the lu-
natic insults hurled at him
by the Red boss, that he
almost blew his top. And
this may be the most hope-
ful sign of all for us. Be-
cause whenever the Presi-
dent gets angry enough to
do a little sabre-rattling
on his own account-I am
convinced that the Com-
munists will retreat.
Thanks to our superb
Strategic Air Force, we
are immeasurably strong.

Why make agreements
with them in the first

last 42 years proves con-
clusively that the amoral

and break their word at

whenever: it is ppportune
for them to do so.
Obviously, it is appar-
ent that this ie neurotic
