For weeks, Dulles had been slipping. In February he was told that there had been a recurrence of the cancer of the colon which had led to his operation in 1956. By April 12 he was back at the hospital, never to leave again.
Just last Wednesday, the President bestowed on Dulles the nation's highest award to civilians, the Medal of Freedom. Only 13 persons have received this award since it was created in 1946. Dulles was too ill for Eisenhower to present the medal in person.

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."
