UnderIies Anecdotes
In Lombard Book

A lot Of stories get around in the
Capitals diplomatic set that never
reach the ears Of the general
public-such as the rumor that the
japanese Embassy sheltered vault
full of microbes that were to be
turned loose in Washington's reser-
voirs whenever the Axis gave the
word
It's a fact that the Embassy has
a room containing rows OF little
square boxes. But they are harm
less looking blue and red lacquered
cubicles, containing nothing more
lethal than a boarded supply Of fine
China tea.
That is the report of Helen Lom-
bard, wife of Col. Emmanuel Lom-
bard, French Military Attache here

and reveals that there is more to
professional diplomacy than whirl
of parties and small talk.
