DIPLOMATS SEE LONG ABSENCES
 HURTING CORPS

Washington, March 26.-tUP)- Spokesmen for the United States foreign service believe that "yithJL; any fault of their own," the nation career diplomats are hitting OF only five out of eight cylinders
 The compliment came from the American Foreign Service Journa.. official organ of the government $ 750 career diplomats. It charged that long assignments outside the country, outmoded State Depart ment practices and poor salaries had instilled "a sense of remote ness, illustration and general in adequacy" in American embaSsics throughout the world.
 Whats more, 1t said, there's too much "deadwood" in the upper ranks.
 SO Submit Essays
 The journal took its own organi- zation-as well as the State De- partment-to task in a special ar- ticle analysing 60 manuscripts submitted by diplomats in an essay COilOC6L WIldU WAOIik HAIAi this country's diplomatic corps.
 Perhaps the most frequently voiced suggestion" the article said was that of closer contact with the Department and the United States"
 It said that the men who are charged with carrying out foreign policy are "all too often out of touch with the trend of thought in Washington and insufficiently familiar with the changing Ameri- can scene"
 Urge Periodic Leaves
 Most of the essays urged regu- lar system of domestic assignments which would bring foreign service officers back to Washington every four, five or six years. Periodic leaves of absence, they said, should be made obligatory tat government expense to bring diplomats back home for a look at changing con- ditionS.
 Charging that "too slow" pro- motions had Stifled development of promising young diplomats, the journal also expressed fear that men unable to qualify for regulad diplomatic assignments would be suddenly incorporated into the higher brackets of the service"
 Almost all the essay contestants demanded increased and realistic allowances" to cover expenses en- countered in foreifn posts. They noted that "spasmodic waves of false economy" had damaged eff cient operation of the diplomatic corps in the past.
