The 78-year-old Acheson served secretary of state under Pres ident Harry S. Truman from 1949 to 1953, the years of the Korean War, European recon struction, the adolesence of the ^ North Atlantic Treaty Organiza tion, the Japanese peace treaty and the beginning of the so-called McCarthy era. According to his wife, Acheson died about 6 p.m. EDT at his Sandy Spring, Md., farm, but the cause was undetermined. Family members said Acheson was found slumped over a desk in his study. He was pronounced dead by the family physician. Friends said Acheson had a his tory of hypertension but had not been in ill health recently. He is survived by the widow and three children, Jane (Mrs. Dudley B. W. Brown), David Campion Acheson and Mary Elea nor (Mrs. William F. Bundy). After leaving the State De partment, Acheson served in an advisory capacity to the admin istrations of President John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson. But he spent most of his time in a far-flung and lucrative Wash ington law practice. The Connecticut-born Acheson carried an aristocratic manner that often alienated his foes, and even some friends. But he, none theless, achieved great success in the government in a career that reached from a monetary-policy negotiator under Franklin D. Roosevelt to secretary of state under Truman. In between, he practiced law briefly, but spent most of his time in various positions within the State Department, finally succeeding Gen. George Marshall as secretary in 1949. Upon taking over as the na tion’s chief diplomat Acheson im mediately assumed a tough stand concerning what was thought at the time as aggressive, expan sionist Soviet policy. He implemented the strategy of alliances ringing the Soviet Union and its Eastern European allies, including the formation of NATO, still the key defense pact for the United States and West ern Europe. At the same time, Acheson promoted the continuation and strengthening of the Marshall Plan. But in spite of his hard-line attitude toward international Communism, his hardest fight involved charges he was soft on Communism at home. % [A] SKAGGS X ALBERTSONSj- ifflll UgSBjS DRUGS & FOODS PRESIDENT'S FREEZE ORDER!

Hiss, who was a key advisor to American delegations during some of the major post-World War II meetings, was charged with giving secrets to the Soviet Union. In spite of the allegations Acheson refused to disavow his friendship with Hiss and there after was attacked for supposedly harboring Communists and their sympathizers in the State De partment. One of his most severe critics was Sen. Joseph McCarthy, R- Wis., who often charged Ache son was leading the diplomatic corps and the nation down the road to Communism. The urbane Acheson, a prod uct of Groton, Harvard and Yale, was known as the diplomat’s diplomat. In a speech to the Women’s National Democratic Club two years ago, Acheson urged Ameri cans not to be “destructive” and to give the Nixon administration “strong enough support to carry forward what it has to do.” “If we understood the pres ent,” he said, “we would deal more wisely with the future.” In an ironic twist, Acheson’s last years were spent under at tack by so-called revisionist American historians, who said his policies reflected a lack of knowl edge about the Soviet Union and Communism. Acheson also has been under attack from liberals of his own Democratic party, who became disenchanted with his aggressive views on the Vietnam war and his support of a massive Ameri can military presence in Western Europe. But to the end, Acheson main tained his was the consistent view, one illuminated by knowl edge, experience and intelligence. Whatever the disagreement over his policies, there are few who can dispute Acheson was a man who made his mark on the world.
