The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-12-13

When dark-Skinned Latin- American visitors ran afoul of Florida'S Jim Crow laws, Rocke- feller provided special house in Miami to entertain visiting digni- taries When Vice President Wallace, then head of the Bureau of Economic welfare, wanted to get more workers to mine tin and other minerals in Latin America, Rockefeller arranged the funds to give Labor better working condi- tions.
 UNLIKE GRANDFATHER JOHN D., SR., who grabbed oil, organized monopolies, squeezed out little men, grandson Nelson has leaned in the other direction . However, it is an unacceptable fact that his name carries big ham dicap in Latin America. "Rocke- feller" is connected with oil. Also 8 lot of Latins figure that Nell sons committee is a private one, operated with Standard Oil funds, not Uncle Sam's =. As assist ant Secretary of State in charge of Latin America this will be drag-anchor.
 Grey, grizzled Joseph c. Grew. newly appointed urlderSecretary of state, is about six feet three in height, lowered like a grand father over the dilninutive Jap anese when he was in Tokyo |. Grew was just two years ahead of FDR at Groton and Harvard, is descended from the Boston CabotS, married into the J. P. MorganS, and after a youthful career of shooting tigers in Manchuria and elephant-hunting in India, settled down to diplomacy.

S. diplo- matic secretary in Ottawa; Eliz- abeth Sturgis Grew to be Mrs. Cecil Burton Lyon, wife of the U. s. diplomatic secretary in Cairo <. all three of Crews sons in-law are Harvard graduates. but each of his six grandchildren was born in a different country Switzerland, United States, France, Hungary, China, Japan.
 WHEN GREW WAS AN4BASSA- DOR TO TURKEY he once jumped into the Bosporus and rescued a Turk from drowning. For this and other qualities he was immensely popular in Tur- key, also i'll Japan. But when he was under-Secretary of state, the job to which Roosevelt has again nominated him, Joe was in con- Stant hot water Frank B. Kellogg, then secretary of state. and former senator from Min nesota, was green at the job. He leaned heavily on Grew, q ca reer diplomat Before long, Kellogg woke up to find ne had landed marines in Nicaragua and was trading hot verbal blows with Mexico. All Latin America turned against us.
 THE NICARAGUAN ROW was especially messy. Senator Borah got all steamed up. Various Sen- ators introduced resolutions. They claimed the State Department had picked its own man, Adolfo Diaz, an employe of an American company, and made him president. keep him in office Worried over the rumpus, the State De- partment accused Mexico of stir ring up trouble in Nicaragua against us. Old man Kellogg got the blame, but Grew and career diplomats led him into it Finally Calvin Coolidge stepped in, appointed Henry L. Stimson as special envoy to Nicaragua over the State Departments head. Stimson cleaned up the mess. hi,1.xy o,,no S11,ofa oVUa avo ,,ot Tioht
