Ambassador From Germany, If

DIR. Frederick Sthamer Is to be
offered the place Of German ambassa-
dor to Washington-if the need Of an
ambassador should arise. Like his
predecessor, Count Won Bernstorn, he
has an American wife. She was q,
Miss Pollig, but nobody seems to know
where her home was. She went to
Hamburg as a child and was married
about 30 years ago. Her husband is
stxty-one years old.
DR.. Sthamer, at the time Of his
selection, was the German ambassa-
dor at London. Although there was
naturally little beyond purely formal
intercourse between him and the al
lied diplomats In London, except pos
sibly the Italian, his relations with the
British foreign Office had been easy
and fairly cordial. In fact, he was
so satisfied that 1t was said he would
refuse the Washington post If 1t was
offered to him on the ground that he
did not care to shave to break official
