Francis N. H. Wilson
Dies; Once Assistant
Secretary Of State

Francis Mairs Huntington Will
son, II, retired diplomat who once
served as Assistant Secretary Of
State during the Taft admirlistra-
ton, died yesterday in New Haven,
Conn, after a brief illness, the As
sociated Press reported.
Mr.. Wilson was born In Chicago
and was graduated from Yale Uni
versity in 1897 He soon began his
diplomatic career as second secre-
tary OF the United States Legation
in Tokyo. During his nine years
there he rose to be first secretary
and charge d'affaires. e
Mr.. Wilson was called to Wash
ington in 1906 as Third Assistant
Secretary to Secretary Of State
Elihu Root. He applied himself to
the task of modernizing the State
Department in keeping with the
rapidly changing conditions of the
Goth century. This meant putting
into effect sweeping revisions in the
departments divisional structure
and in its administrative methods.
Mr.. wilson's reforms were impor-
tant and he was made Assistant Sec
retary of State under Philander
Knox. With the election of Presi-
dent Wilson, he continued in Office
for time, but resigned over a diff
ference in policy, and brought his
diplomatic career to an end.
Later he engaged in business and
for awhile served on the editorial
stats of both the Philadelphia Pub
lie Ledger and the Philadelphia Eve
ming Bulletin. In 1928 he helped to
reorganize the Philadelphia Com
mercial Museum and served as di-
rector for four years.
He was the author of several books
and magazine articles. His last book
was Memoirs of an Ex-Diplomat,'
which was published In 1945.
Mr.. Wilson was a member of the
Society of the Cincinnati and the
Society of Colonial Wars.
He is survived by his widow, Mrs
Hope Butler Wilson.

Service Center Closes Friday
After 3 Years of Fun, Tears

has a room full of items left behind
including two sets of false teeth
Mrs. Harper checked in everything
from artificial legs to barracks bags.
Many of the latter are still there,
and will never be picked up by their
owners.
Miss Edith Styles. receptionist, has
handled letter. writing for the boys.
Once she helped to get a Free
Frenchman back among his coun-
trymen.
Mrs. Gretchen Sowell, housekeep-
er, once found soldiers wallet con-
tanning $3.50, after he had checked
out. The soldier returned all the
way from Boston when he discov-
cred his loss. The next day she
got a complaint from another
serviceman bemoaning the loss
of q check. Mrs. Sowell hurriedly
searched through all the dirty linen
in the washroom, of which there was
plenty, and finally found the check
the soldier considered so valuable.
1t was made out for rs cents.
Mrs. Katherine Carberry, on the
switchboard, and her daughter, Mrs.
Mary Fuller, are two more employees
who have served with the center
from its opening day. So has sgd
ney Dorsett, assistant manager, and
William H. Spradling, general me-
chsnic, and Joseph T. Saylor, in
charge Of the control room.
George A. Towles, porter and ele-
vator man. remembered one country
boy who didn't know how to use a
revolving door, and another who
spent several minutes watching the
floor indicator above the elevator
door thinking it was clock. Finally
the boy sighed. Gosh, the time sure
flies here" he said.
The United Nations Service Gen.
ter has been cited by admirals and
generals as the best of its kind.
From opening day, the word on
hospitality here spread over the
world via stf1e servieeman'ss grape-
vine. One corporal came back to
Washington from Sicily lust to see
where my dead buddy spent his last
week end in the States"
The keys to the center will be
handed to Gen. Philip B. Fleming,
FWA administrator, in a. closing
ceremony Friday noon. That night
the center will lock the doors which
have remained unlocked and con-
stantly in use for more than three
years.
