managing. If a regulation
blocked something that needed
to be done, he liked for his
employees to say ''let's change
the regulations" instead of
saying, 1--WE can't do that be-
cause it's against the rules"
Diplomatic Error
Then he made a small diplo-
matte mistake. He said in a
speech in 1949 that, Christi
anity and Communism cannot
exist in the same world" This
suggestion of the inevitability
of global war so upset then
Secretary of State Dean Ache
son that he stated publicly that
the statement did not repre-
sent department policy.
The next year, Mr.. Peurifoy
became embroiled in a dispute
that still colorS his thinking.
Senator Mccarthy, Republic
can, of Wisconsin, made his
first speech about alleged Com
munists being in the State De-
partment.
The Mccarthy speech, de-
livered in Wheeling, w. Va,
got little attention-until Mr..
Peurifoy challenged him to
present proof. Mr.. Peurifoy
telegraphed Senator Mccarthy
twice. He got no reply, and
the State Department pub
lished the kilograms. Some OBJ
servers speculate that this in
cident made" Senator Nc
Carthy as a professional foe
of communism.
McCorthy's Chonce
The Senator suddenly dis
covered that denouncing COM
munism was a publicity prof
liable activity. He didn't back
down on his original charges.
Instead. he has been expand
ing them almost ever since.
Mr.. Peurifoy became a
target of the Senator, Of
course, but partly because of
his popularity on Capitol Hill
has survived and even thrived.
Democratic President Tru-
man sent Mr.. Peurifoy to
Greece in 1850. When that
situation cleared up and Re-
publican President Eisenhow-
er entered the White House.
Mr.. Peurifoy fully expected to
be shunted aside. Gen. Eisen-
hover, however, sent him to
Guatemala, and now has dis
patched him to Thailand.
This assignment means Mr..
Peurifoy will have fought
communism on three conti-
nents. But the story of Thai
land is Greece all over again.
His task is to coordinate and
help direct large American aid
missions. and keep UP the ma
tive morale in the face of
Red pressure. He confidently
expects the outcome. too. will
be the same as in Greece and
Guatemala--a debacle for the
Reds.

tle-known Referendums Awaiting
Decision Of Voters Next Tuesday
Metropolitan Scene

The spotlight will be on the
candidates when nearby voters
go to the polls Tuesday. per-
haps obscuring some interest
ing side issues on the ballot.
Maryland Propositions
For example. in Maryland,
Montgomery county voters
will be asked to amend their
charter to remove the $4,000
salary ceiling for the job of
county manager. Since the
resignation of County Man
ager Edward T. Beall the
Council has been unable to
find competent replacement
at that salary. officials say
the going rate for a job of
that magnitude is around
$17,500. They purposely have
postponed any further action
in seeking a new manager
until after Tuesday in hopes
the amendment will get
through. A similar one was
defeated last time.
A second charter change
would boost the pay of coun-
Gil members from $40 a meet
ing not to exceed a total of
$1,000 annually. to $50 per
meeting with no annual limit.
Removal of the annual limit
could jeopardize this one.
Another referendum pro-
posal affecting both Mont
gomery and Prince Georges
Counties locally is the So
called "home rule" constitu-
tional amendment. Under it
the State Legislature would be
limited to legislating for mu-
inequalities by classes rather
than individually. Passage of
this proposal would permit a
substantial increase in the
"home rule" opportunities
within the counties. Some
members of the nearby dele

cations to the Legislature re-
gard placing this issue on the
ballot one Of the major
achievements of the last ses-
sion. The possibility that the
average voter may not under
stand this one could work
against 1t.
At least three amendments
to the State constitution are
proposed affecting the judici-
ary. Two of them call for an
additional circuit court judge
for Montgomery County. One
of this pair also includes a
similar addition in Prince
Georges and Anne Arundel.
The third affects Baltimore
County.
Both the Montgomery and
Prince Georges Bar Associa-
tions and both parties are
supporting the amendments
but there is objection in Bal
timore.
Still another constitutional
change proposed would allow
the State Assembly to work
out a plan for absentee voting
for Marylanders.
The voters also will have a
chance to decide whether they
want to raise the salary of the
governor from $4,000 to $15,-
600.
Vireinio Questions
In Virginia, the voters will
have to decide whether they
want to amend the State con-
stitution to permit county
school boards to borrow from
the State retirement fund
without a popular referendum.
The proposal is backed by
the State board of education
and the Arlington and Fairfax
school boards and is some

was turned down because he
was q minor and didn't have
the consent of his parents or
guardian. He worked in a
Kansas City bank for 18
months, then returned to New
York where he sold insurance
for a while and worked for a
chain restaurant.
This was the year 1885. The
Democrats were riding high
and the economy was riding
low. Mr.. Peurifoy headed for
Washington to get on the
Government payroll.
His prospects were good be-
cause he was-and iS-a Dem
ocrat. Says Mr.. Peurifoy:
YOU'RE born that way in
South Carolina. It's almost
like your religion"-which in
Mr.. Peurifoy's case happens
to be Episcopalian.
Deserving Democrat
Because he was a South
Carolina Democrat, then
Representative Cotton Ed"
Smith got Mr.. Peurifoy a job
running an elevator in the
House Office Building. He
tried-and failed because of
formal schooling-to get a job
at the State Department. He
took one at Treasury, and on
the strength of it got married
to Betty Jane Cox of Tulsa,
Okla. (She's now the mother
of two sons and is one of the
diplomatic sets most beautiful
women.)
Shortly after their marriage,
the unit in which MIR. Peurifoy
was working at the Treasury
was abolished. He was out of
work. He and his wife took jobs
behind the sales counters at
Woodward & Lothrop depart
ment store. Mr.. Peurifoy sold
smoking accessories.
His career since then sug-
geSts that Mr.. Peurifoy snapped
open a cigarette lighter
one day and accidentally
touched off a skyrocket that
has been zooming him higher
ever since. After studying
nights at American University
and George Washington Uni
versity, MIR. Peurifoy finally got
into the State Department as
an economic analyst. That
was in 1888. The salary was
$4,000 a year-but within 10
years it was $4,000.
Son francisco Role
He represented the State
Department on various econo-
mic commissions, arranged the
physical details (such as hotel
rooms for the San Francisco
conference to form the United
Nations in 1945. and became
Deputy Undersecretary of
State handling administrative
affairs.
AS such, he was the business
manager for the State Depart
ment. He did some fancy

Small. jr., of Clinton took the
seat long held by Democrat
Lansdale G. Sasscer. Demo-
crat Samuel N. Friedel won
in the new 7th district and
Representatives Garmatz and
Fallon, also Democrats held
fast.
In Virginia, the Republicans
elected were: Richard H. Poff
in the 9th; William C. Wam-
pier in the 9Th and Joel T.
Broyhill in the 10th.
Maryland High Spots
Four races are the big ques-
ton marks in Maryland on
Tuesday. with most observers
convinced that the outcome of
the McKeldin-Byrd race for
Governor will play a major
role in their decision. They
are:
. First district: Observers say
that Representative Miller,
who consistently has overcome
a 2-1 Democratic registration
majority on the Eastern Shore,
is getting the race of his po-
lltical life from Democrat Ed
ward Turner over the segre-
cation issue. Mr.. Turner has
come out in favor of continued
school segregation despite, the
Supreme Court edict.
Q Second district: Ex-Repre-
sentative Bolton, Democrat, re-
portedly is running even with
incumbent Devereux.
. Fifth district: Democrats
believe they have their best
chance to pick up another seat
here. Richard E. Lankford,
who lost to Mr.. Small in 1852
by only 1889 votes, thinks he
is in. He says Mr.. Small won
last time only by riding on
President Eisenhower's coat
tails.
. Sixth district: Representa-
tive Hyde, Republican, noting
the 6th's long Republican vot-
ing record, is convinced he will
beat Western Marylander Ed
ward T. Ryan. Most experts
agreed.
Virginia PuzzIers
In Virginia, with seven of
the 10 districts almost certain
to remain Democratic, the cru
cial races are these:
. Sixth district: Incumbent
Republican Poff is given a good
chance Of defeating Delegate
Ernest Robertson. The lat
ter frequently has differed
with organization Democrats.
. Ninth district: With unem-
ployment in the coal mines a
major factor, the Democrats
have sent in such big guns as
National Committee Chairman
Stephen Mitchell and Senator
w. Stuart Synington of Mis-
souri, to aid Sheriff Pat Jen-
nings IN his attempt to un-
seat Representative Wampler.
Virginia Democrats think this
their best chance to pick up a
seat.
. Tenth district: Representa-
tive Broyhill, Republican is
given a. better-than-even
chance to defeat Democrat
John c. Webb, although the
Presidents pay-raise veto
didn't help Mr.. Broyhill.

FUTURE
Existing Industry - For many
years the pottery and glass in
dustries have been of great i'm
portance to the 18th District and
are today furnishing employ
ment to several thousand people.
For the future prosperity of the
district it is essential that every
effort be made to keep these
two industries healthy and safe
from foreign competition. Last
year 130,000,000 pieces of glass
ware were brought in to the
United States. 330,000,0O0 pieces
of pottery were imported in to
the United States, much of both
products were manufactured in
Japan where wages are II cents
per hour In the 18th District the
average wage IN these two indus
tries is about $1.90 per hour
