Long-Range Aid To Be Requested; Criticism Heard WASHINGTON (AP) -The Eisenhower administration has decided that no radical revision of American foreign policy is needed to meet the new Soviet political and President Eisenhower and Secretary of State Dulles are determined to concentrate instead on getting from Congress one new cold war weapon--authority to make long-range foreign aid pledges. It is no means certain yet that they will make an all -out fight for this. These basic administration decisions have been disclosed in a series of statements by Dulles, the latest being a speech in Philadelphia Sunday. In it he conceded the Soviets are winning "considerable popular prestige" in the free countries of Asia and Africa with their new line. What Dulles called "notable shifts" in Soviet policy, his estimate of their meaning and the reaction of his Democratic critics assure a wide-open political debate on foreign policy this election year.
Dulles' fr assertion Friday that Moscow has changed tactics because its old programs "have failed" drew weekend rebuttals from Sen. Humphrey (D-Minn) and Democratic Gov. Averell Harriman of New York. Chairman George (D Gal of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in a weekend interview this should have posi: tive program" not subject to change with every shift in Soviet tactics. The main lines of the Impending political debate over foreign policy are clearly defined.
They are: 1. cause of the Soviet change from toughness to more strategy and' "Its continuing struggle for the world mastery, of communism. Dulles that the tough policies of Stalin's days have failed because of the strength of Western anti-Communist alliances. His critics contend that the Soviets are striking out dangerously along new lines -expanding their strategy rather than abandoning anything. 2.
The effectiveness of U.S. policy in dealing with the new Soviet claims that the long. established, policics foreign of military military and a economic aid are sufficient pro vided the new aid authority is granted, although -he has not claimed even that is essential. His Democratic critics contend that bold news thinking and new plans are needed to deal with what they consider the great danger of. the new Soviet maneuvers.
