Reports War
To UntIe Sam
From There
Madame Minister Har
rimdn, Got a Nice,
Quiet Position.
BY SIGRID ARNE
AP Feature Service Writer


WASHINGTON Madame Mini
ister'' Daisy Borden Hartman,
Minister to Norway, is rafting
around somewhere in Scandinavia
She's 10, and trying to keep up a
line of communication between this
country and the fugitive Norwegian
government. .a
It's the first time the United
States has been represented Off
cially in war zone by a woman.
She's Never Felt Better"
She missed death at one spot
by half an hour. She fled down
roads under bombardment by Ger
man planes. She got over the
Swedish border just long enough
to phone news to our Minister in
Sweden. Then she popped back
into the danger zone, after as
surfing Stockholm in her Park
Avenue voice, Never felt better
in. my life
That rings two loud bells for
all the women in this country who
want to hold public jobs. First,
the State Department never. has
liked women in diplomatic. posts
Second, there is still apprehen-
sion among men politicos over
the way women will react under
fire.
Mrs. Harriman's appointment to
Norway was really a sop thrown
to the thousands of Democratic wo-
men who worked through the 49,
and SO campaigns.
Oslo Was a Quiet Spot
When her friend, Ruth BRYAN
Owen Rhode, then our only wo-
man diplomat, resigned her post
in Denmark. Democrats cast around
for another woman to appoint. The
Oslo post fell vacant. 1t was a
quiet, safe spot. The Scandinavians
have no prejudice against womer
executives. So Mrs. Hartman was
appointed,
Would you consider, the post q
she was asked.
Certainly" she said. "Whc
Wouldn't"
The Norwegians - fact is, the
whole diplomatic corps in Oslo
were soon revolving around Daisy
just the way Washingtonians have
for years. She went to palace din
ners; acted as hostess. for bachelor
diplomats from other countries
learned the language rapidly. Ane
at 81 decided to take up skiing
Her progress was watched affec.
tionately.

after she was sworn in here. Just
the sort of thing that suave men
diplomats tremble over.
Started With Faux Pas
She was asked: win you nego-
tate trade agreement between
Norway and the United States?"
That's been DONE" she said.
1t was the first any one knew
of it. She must have been cha
grined But she didn't do any
back tracking. just took the gaff,
and sailed for Norway.
Her first test under fire is the
kind in which you need friends.
She came through with flying
colors.. That was the "City of
Flint" incident Remember the
boat the. Germans captured, took
to Murmansk, Russia, and then
tried to run down the Norwegian
coast? From Russia we got no
clear reports of the Flint's crew.
Then the. Germans put in at a
Norwegian port. 1t became Mrs.
Harriman's task to remind the
Norwegians that the Germans had
forfeited the boat by docking in
a neutral port-a delicate spot
for any diplomat. The Norwegians
decided to return the boat to its
American crew. Mrs. Hartman
got an immediate report from the
Fints captain, and was the first
to report to the State Department
what actually had happened.
Came the Invasion
Then came the morning of
April 8. About three o'clock Mrs.
Harriman's phone rang. The Brit
ish Minister was calling to ask if
she'd take over his duties. The
Germans were invading. He was
leaving.
She rushed into her clothes and
to her office. She called the Nor
wegian Foreign Office, confirmed
the story, then cabled Washing
ton. The arrival of her wire here
was the first the rest of the world
knew the. war had broken out in
earnest. There's. no way Of know
ing yet why other offices didn't
have messages as quickly. Maybe
it was because Mrs. Hartman
sent a straight wire. stating the
facts in regular Enghsh-no code.
BY five she had her whole staff
and their families around her,
eating breakfast, and ready to set
out across country. to safety. II
was some days later. when she
was heard from again--on the
Swedish border phoning to re-
port.
This is her second war. Turing
the last one she got together a
corps of 300 women volunteers
and took them to France as a Red
Cross motor corps. So

Speaking Of campaigns: Up
until few days ago had my
doubts as to the ability of Wash
ington Countys Head Man, Gen.
eraI Lane, in bringing the clan
together for this eVer-so-unevent
fill political battle. Things were
painfully quiet - so quiet, in
fact that one could hear the
mice stomping across the politi-
tical ballroom floor. On the
other hand, DR.. Wade failed to
make the waters ripple when
he plunged into print as an Of
ficer of the club representing
the opposition forces. The folks
it seems, just weren't interested.
The Wade forces corraIled half
a hundred workers at their or
ganization meeting, but the big
surprise was the huge turnout of
Democratic Organization Club
workers. One hundred and
twelve by actual count signed
the little green slips signifying
their intention Of being available
to beat the bushes on primary
day. Regardless Of what the
vote indicates in other counties
of the State when the tally
clerks complete their work, the
odds in this county. with the or
ganization going into action,
should favor Bruce.
They do tell me that the Rad
cliffe Camp experienced but lit
tie difficulty in making their
selection of delegates. But not
so with the Bruce forces. A To-
cal ambitious politician who
would love to direct the desti-
