Mr. John Foster Dulles may or may not continue to hold the title of Secretary of State, but the power and the glory (?) are soon to be vested in the Under Secretary. Governor Christian Herter’s prerogatives and responsibilities will far exceed the not inconsiderable “standard” duties and authority of the Under-Secretaryship. Moreover, he has been chosen for the role of “Mr. Bountiful.”
