EUROPEAN UNITY: DULLES Victim Of Hungary

New Note REPORTED

MR

R Mao Tse-tung struck alternato notes of bravado and dissatisfaction in his address on Saturday before the First National Committee of the Chineso People's Political Consulta tive Conference, lending credence to the belief ex- pressed during recent months by observers that he Is not particularly happy About Communist China's continued involvement in tho Korean war, and that he is anything but content with the way his Administration Somewhat is functioning. pointedly ho qualified the approved propaganda line of insisting that Red China was merely fulfilling the sacred spores by American Imperialism categorienlly declaring, "It

Noticeably, also,| was the exclusion from Mao Tse-tung's speech of any direct reference to the prisoner of war controversy which remains the only major obstacle to a cease- fire. True he talked vaguely about America's "unreason- able demands" but the fact that he did not specify them may be a sign that if ho could and a face-saving way out of the POW dilemma, ho would be willing to considér it.

There never has been any clear indication here in what direction American foreign policy would be re- vised after it had been thought over by Mr Dulles, apart from threats in Congress to reduce the United States share of the burden of European rearmament if ratification was not forthcoming.
