OF FREE MARKING Big 4 Meet Won't Ease Tensions, Dulles Thinks COLUMBIA, S.C. Wl Secretary of Stale Dulles expressed doubt Monday that the top evel Big cour meeting oy iiseu would re lax international tensions. "It will take more thin words," Dulles said, "and more than one meeting, to create conditions which will justify relaxing tne efforts which we have been making." The Big Four "summit' 'con ference will bring together Presi dent Eisenhower and the premiers of Russia, Britain and France, per haps beginning July 18. The United States has agreed to Gemva as the site. v Dulles said the meeting would "serve to identify the present causes of tension and set a course which may lead to el'minating threats to peace and ircedom." "But of one thing I am certain." he said, "the meeting will not end the necessity for strjng and vigorous national and international security policies and for national unity behind them." The only prudent cou'.se to fol. low, the secretary s?id, is for the United States "for som! time yet to live as a nation thai is im- periled.'! We, the members of Co. D, 186th Infantry, National Guard, wish to thank the following firms for their cooperation and donation which has made possible the construction of a much needed foot locker for each member of the company.
