Dulles, who will be 71 on Feb. 25, was to undergo surgery for a hernia. It was the latest in a series of illnesses that has plagued him since he was operated on for intestinal cancer in November, 1856. President Eisenhower was expected at his news conference today to discuss the secretary’s latest illness, announced just after Dulles returned from a whirlwind fin tn Europe to confer with Allied leaders on Soviet threats to Berlin. Herter Takes Over Dulles asked and received the President’s permission to turn over his duties to subordinates “for a short period.” In the meantime, the State Department will be run by Undersecretary Christian A. Herter or, in his absence, by Undersecretary C. Douglas Dillon. In a letter tp the President, Dulles also gave a second reason for entering the hospital. He said his doctors had advised him that be had “not wholly thrown off the effects” of a colon inflammation he suffered last December. The energetic cabinet officer, who has guided America's foreign policy for six years, said he would like to use his period of recuperation to concentrate on 'the complicated and grave” U?Jin problem “free from other icrj/onsibilities.” He made it clear that he did not intend to step down permanently from his high post. He said he would be available for consultation in the hospital and “would expect, after a few weeks, to resume fully” his duties as secretary. Illness Not MalignasA White House News Secretary James C. Hagerty said physicians had assured Dulles that “there is no sign whatsoever anything is malignant” in his new illness. Dulles' doctors gave him a clean bill of health after his 1956 operation. ,_ - Hagerty interpreted Dulles’ letter as meaning that the secretary

Decatur Men Given Suspended Sentences Suspended sentences of one year at thd Indiana state farm were handed down Monday afternoon by Judge Homer Byrd, of the Weds circuit court, to two Adams county men, Melverd ■ Ladd, route two, Decatur, and Glen Mankey. Decatur, on charges of petit larceny. The two men Were apprehended by the Adams county sheriff’s department on warrants issued from Wells on charges of grand larceny v||kt an incident which occurred December near Ossian at Moser Lake. The affidavits filed against them were on grand larceny charges for the theft of hand tools taken from a shed located at the lake. The sheriff’s department turned over the two men to the Wells county authorities and they were later released from the county jail in Bluffton after each posted bonds of SI,OOO. Judge Byrd ..stated late Monday afternoon that several reasons brought about the suspended sentence where normally some time would be spent at the state farm for the charge. Some of the reasons consist of the following: considerable circumstantial evidence was pointed out at Monday’s trial; the prosecuting witness recommended the sentence be suspended; and the original charge of grand larceny was disproved when it was learned that the tools taken did not exceed the value of SSO. After trial was presented in court. Judge Byrd sentenced the two men on the included offense of petit larceny rather than the original charge of grand larceny. Judge Byrd concluded by saying that the sentence was suspended pending good behavior of th& two men and that the condition that neither is to frequent any place where alcoholic beverages are dispensed or to indulge in the use of any alcoholic beverages in any other place during their probation period. The men will be forced to report to the Wells county probation officer, James Mcßride, every eight weeks, starting April 4. x The original complaint charging the two local men with the grand larceny incident, was filed by Paul Biberstine, caretaker o. Moser Lake, where the incider/ occurred.
