CRITICISM OF DULLES GROWS

Losing Confidence Of Congress, Claim EXPLOSION

"NOT HANDLING M.E.

SITUATION WELL”

Washington, Jan. 27.

Three Democratic members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee alleged today that Congress was losing confidence in Mr John Foster Dulles as Secretary of State, and called for an investigation of his conduct of United States foreign policy.

This action was urged in interviews with American reporters by Senators Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota, John Sparkman of Alabama and Estes Kefauver of Tennessee.

Senator Humphrey predicted that Mr Dulles might become a "casualty of the cold war just as Mr Eden was." (He was referring to Sir Anthony Eden, the former British Prime Minister).

Senator Kefnuver said a "lot" of senators had the feeling that Mr Dulles was not handling the Middle East situation well,
