Perle Mesta, who leveled
surprise attack at the Estate
Department boys" in her New
York Town Hall talk. says she
hasn't begun to tell the whole
story. The well known Demo-
Gratis criticism was on a brand
new tack from the one usually
leveled at the department per-
sonnet. The ex-Minister to
Luxembourg says she was
shocked by the intellectual
snobbery she encountered.
She told her Town Hall au-
dience that when she arrived
in Luxembourg to take over
the legation, her subordinates
told her that she could be the
hostess and look after the resi-
dence and they would handle
the diplomatic relations!
When Mrs. M. recovered from
this extraordinary approach by
her staff, she told them that
she would be at her desk every
morning at $3.50 and skip
lunch and stay to Z every day
If necessary.
But that's only the Begin
ming of the story, says Perle,
who thinks the State Depart
ment needs cleaning out from
the top to bottom.

Mans concern for the security

tended to include pets. Animals
and birds are sometimes made
benefciaries of wills to insure
their care after the death of the

only one-a bird named Ole
Crow-has ever been made a
stakeholder to insure steady
income from dividends.
