GENEVA--The Big Four foreign ministers agreed last night on a two-day break in their talks to allow statesmen to attend the funeral of John Foster Dulles in Washington. The conference will be in recess Wednesday and Thursday.
WASHINGTON--President Eisenhower issued yesterday a statement of sorrow calling Dulles a lifetime laborer for world peace, a foe to tyranny, "one of the truly great men of out time."
The proclamation called Dulles a champion of righteousness "whose eyes were fixed on the highest goals which men are given to see."
Eisenhower formally directed that the American flag be flown at half staff on all government buildings at home and abroad until Dulles is buried.
With the full military honors accorded heroes and distinguished men, Dulles will be buried Wednesday on a wooded hillside at Arlington National Cemetery, across the Potomac from Washington.
