LETTER >M
Az Q1

WASHINGTON-Th are many
wheels within wheels involved in
the pickering and dissatisfaction
among the foreign service personnel
at home and abroad, which have
reached a high point with the in-
cipient revolt of consular officers
against social favoritism in the pro-
motion system
One of the most interesting bits
of gossip about the state department
tells of a feud between Secretary
of State kellogg and Under Secretary
Joseph c. Grew. When Kellogg is
away, Grew takes charge, but when
Kellogg returns to his job he totally
ignores Grew, according to some
members Of the department personnel.
Some of the service men refer to
the situation as sitting match"
between the two men, believing that
Kellogg doesn't want to resign lest
Grew obtain control and perhaps
succeed him, and that Grew has been
doggedly fighting appointment as
ambassador to Turkey or some other
post because of his desire to remain
in a position of authority over all
embassies and legations
Division in Department
Thus there is an apparent division
among the assistant secretaries, with
Grew and Butler Wright playing
the game together, Robert E. Olds,
who inspired the famous Mexican
fostered bolshevist hegemony" story,
on Kellogg's team and Wilbur J.
Carr supposedly upholding the cause
of his consular service.
But the men of the foreign service
are not as Interested in this alleged
fight higher up as they are in their
own-the wrangle over charges that
the higher classes of service are
being filled with men of wealth and
high social ratings.
