Dulles, Acheson Iron Out Policy
Washington—(U.P.)—John Foster Dulles talked over his new job with Secretary of State Dean Acheson today and then predicted the foreign policy transition "will take place without any interruption or prejudice to the vital business of the United States."
The 64-year-old New York attorney, who will be Secretary of State in the Gen. Eisenhower cabinet, said "the loyal servants of our government have nothing to fear."
However, he said in a statement that employees of the foreign service would be checked carefully for their dedication to the foreign interests of this country.
Mr. Dulles visited Mr. Acheson in the secretary's office for 30 minutes. The two men posed for photographs and smiled and joked as the photographers jumped around Mr. Acheson's desk.
Mr. Dulles then went immediately to the Defense department for talks with Defense Secretary Robert A. Lovett.
Another member of the Gen. Eisenhower cabinet also arrived here for briefings in his new post. George M. Humphrey, 62-year-old Cleveland, Ohio, industrialist who will take over the Treasury department Jan. 20, conferred with outgoing Secretary of the Treasury John W. Snyder.
Mr. Dulles said that his talk with Mr. Acheson was in general terms although they did discuss the United Nations' action on approving the Indian resolution calling for peace in Korea.
He said he did not have time to share in foreign policy responsibilities during the transition period and that he did not plan to take an office in the State department before Jan. 20.
Makes TV First Day
Denver, Colo. — (U.P.)—Gordon Campbell Kerr, who is not quite a day old today had the distinction of being the first baby in the world to utter his first cry before an audience estimated in the millions.

He was delivered by Caesarean section at Colorado General hospital here. His mother is 38-year-old Mrs. Lillian Kerr, wife of Sgt. John Kerr of Fitzsimmons Army hospital near Denver.
Hospital authorities said early today that mother and son were doing fine.

4 Officials Discuss Industry Growth
Four government reclamation experts met with the University Business Research bureau Tuesday to discuss methods of surveying the developmental possibilities of the Arkansas-White river basin.
The University had previously surveyed a 16 county area in the south central part of the state to determine water supply in relation to an anticipated industrial growth in the next 20 years. Also included in his survey were studies on food control and recreational developments.
The four government men represent the Arkansas-White river basin committee consulted in a daylong meeting with the Business Research bureau to determine effective methods of carrying out their survey which will include the southern half of the state.
Representatives of the basin committee were Wallace McMartin, economist with the U.S. Department of Interior; Walter J. Ware with the U.S. Corps of Engineers; Dr John Clark, with the U.S. Department of Commerce, and Dr. O. J. Wheatly, head of the Department of Commerce. All the men were from Tulaa.

Seoul, Korea—(UIP)—Tough South Korean riflemen scrambled up the icy slopes of Sniper ridge last night and recaptured the crest after hours of savage hand-to-hand fighting against Chinese Communists who had held it for less than a day.
ROK Troops Recapture Sniper Ridge 18th Time
American Sabre jets shot down two Communist MIG-15 jets as new air battles flared in northwest Kokraea's clearing skies.
Republic of Korean troops, battered off dominating Pinpoint hill on Sniper Tuesday night, launched a powerful counterattack at 2 p.m. yesterday (11 p.m. CST) and surged back to the top after four hours of battle in freezing weather.
It was the 18th time in six weeks that the ROKs have recaptured Sniper after losing it to massed Red attacks. Yesterday was the first time since Nov. 15 that they had lost the crest, a vital central front height guarding the invasion route to Seoul.

Durkin Faces Cabinet Trouble
Washington — (U.P.)—Secretary of Labor-designate Martin P. Durkin faced trouble enough before Sen. Robert A. Taft angrily objected to his inclusion in the new Eisenhower cabinet.
Durkin will find himself next month the junior member of a business-minded Cabinet dominated by industrialists and lawyers of a conservative turn of mind. That is, assuming he is confirmed by the Senate.
The Ohio senator's anger may cool before the new administration takes office Jan. 20. Taft had some hard knocks this year and his patience is worn.
Taft and Eisenhower got together, however, and agreed on general political principles sufficiently to enable the Senator to make an all-out campaign for the Republican Presidential ticket.
