Dulles to Lead U S Delegation to Far East Parley
Washington sources say Secretary of State John Foster Dulles will personally head the U S delegation to the Geneva conference on Far Eastern problems in April. Special Ambassador Arthur H. Dean will not attend Geneva, a move that aligns with President Eisenhower and follows the Berlin talks. Officials say the shift eases a potential diplomatic embarrassment as Korea talks and Panmunjom issues loom, while Dean remains in his post per the State Department.

Churches Ruled Subject To Fair Labor Standards
The U S court of appeals held churches are subject to the Fair Labor Standards Act and constitutional religious freedom does not shield violations. It reversed a district court in Mitchell v Pilgrim Holiness Church Corp of Indianapolis, ordering a new trial. The Labor Department charged underpayment of minimum wage and unpaid overtime, plus interstate commerce of goods made in violation of the act. The Indianapolis church corporation, with a five story HQ and a printing plant, argued the act as applied violates the First Amendment rights to free exercise of religion.
