day to continue its hearings on

Office of Security, disclosed the
condition of the departments
files during testimony on the
death of John c. Montgomery.

who committed suicide on Janu-
airy "a.
Mr.. Ford said he believed the
lack of proper investigation was
due to pressure of work on a
limited staff. He told the COM
mittee that the department has
never had more than "a agents
and 20 field officers to investi-
gate it's estimated 10000 en-
ployes at home and abroad. FIRE.
quently, the number of agents
has dropped far below that, he
related. depending on how
drastically Congress has cut
State Department funds.

"It was not until very recently"
he said, that individuals had
to have a full field investigation
before they were employed"
Prior to that, he said, the
checks provided only a bare
minimum" of employe coverage.
In the early 1940s, the depart
ment undertook mo investiga-
lions, or Investigations so meager
as to constitute no investigation

Mr.. Ford emphasized that new

starting point from which to
investigate personnel proce-
dures," has already disclosed
that the department did not
know until after his death that
he was rejected for military
service as a psychOneurotic in
1912. He was hired as State
Department economist in 1916
and was acting head of the Fin

death.
Arch Jean, chief of personnel,
also told the committee late
yesterday that Mr.. Montgomery
supervised the Finnish desk on
a temporary appointment which
should only have lasted six
months under civil service regu-
lations. He was appointed 70

fed that the most recent he

spending his Christmas in the Holy
Land in 1865. On Christmas eve he
left Jerusalem for the nearby vii
lage of Bethlehem, and as he drew
near to the village, he saw it lying
across the valley, its streets al
most dark, and, even after eigh-
teen centuries, appearing much as
on the evening of the Nativity.
He rode out TO the field where
the shepherds saw the Star In the
East, and here, too he saw other
shepherds still keeping watch over
their flocks. Three years later, the
beauty of the Bethlehem night still
in his memory, he wrote 80, Little
Town of Bethlehem" which was
sung the following Sunday, Christ
mas Day, by the children of his
church to music written hastily by
Mr.. Redner. the organist.
American Composer
"It Came Upon The Midnight
Clear" is American also. II was
written by another clergyman, Ed
mund Sears, a good pastor in a
small Massachusetts, village. As
the snow piled high on his window
sill, he thought of the words of
the angels with their message of
peace On Earth, Good viii To
ward Men," and he reached for
his pen and wrote the words of the
verses. His friend, DR.. Morrison,
sent it to Boston to another friend,
Mr.. Willis, who set the words to
music in the few days remaining
before Christmas.
The desire for peace on earth
was also expressed by Americas
loved poet, Henry Wadsworth Long
fellow in his own lovely Christmas
song Il heard the bells on Christ
mas day, their old, familiar carols
play" Each stanza ended "Of
peace on earth, good will to men, Z"
and with good reason. 1t was writ
ten in the dark years of the War
Between The States. and Longfell-
ow'S own son, a lieutenant in the
Army of the Potomac, lay seriously
wounded.
The music to Longfellow's YER
ses was composed by John Bap-
tiste Calkin, an English organist.
Memberships Music
And no Christmas would be com.
plete without ''Hark The Herald
Angels Sing" with its glorious
music by Felix Mendelssohn, one
of the few anthems where the
words were written after the mus.
ical score. I'VE Three Kings Of
The Orient Are" is called by the
Oxford Book of Carols as one Of
the most successful of modern
carols. 1t again was written by an
American, the Rev. John Henry
Hopkins, Jr.. son of the first Epis-
copal Bishop of Vermont.
All of these carols will be heard
throughout the Christmas season in
the voices of the caroling young
people of the Key West churches
and in the clear chimes and CARL.
Ions that mark the noon and eve
ming of each day.
