JhsM JhinqA * By HOOVER ADAMS GLOflBE—TROTTING DULLES DIDN’T MAKE IT TO DUNN The public record and the pages of history will record the suc cesses, failures and the diligence of' Secretary of State John Fos ter Dulles. It has already been recorded that the man in the black homburg has traveled a •total of 559,988 miles since he became Secretary of State.

At that time, Dulles was Undersecretary of State.
