Streibert Still Enjoys
His Job as Director
After Yeur in Office
By Mary McGrory

The United States information
program-Sick unto death II
months ago-is feeling much
better now.
Known today as the United
States Information Administra-
ton, 1t has q life OF its own, If
not exactly o place in the sun.
Its $3.50 employees have at
least the satisfaction Of knowing
that things could never be worse
than they were during the black
days Of 1853.
This was the year Of the Me-
Carthy investigation. with book
burnings In the field and
back-stabbings and hand-wash-
tngs at home. It was also the
year Of the Cohn-Schine tour

hurricane intensity and devas-
tation.
Took Over Willingly.
Recent candid accounts Of
what went on in the agency
during those parlous times might
cast doubt on whether any one
In his right mind would subse-
quently have had anything to
do with the program. But
Theodore c. Streibert, o former
radio executive. who is obviously
in full possession Of his faculties,
willingly became director of the
agency when 1t was separated
from the State Department in
August. 1858. Now. a year later.
he still seems to be enjoying
the Job.
He thinks the separation from
the State Department is the most
significant thing that has hap
pened to the program since 1t
was initiated In 1916.
TITS q different animal" says
Mr.. Streibert, . vigorous, conf
dent man who was formerly
chairman Of the board of the
Mutual Broadcasting System.
The agency still takes policy
direction from the State Depart
ment on foreign affairs. This
could not be otherwise, Mr.. Strei-
bert says. But 1t has its own
housekeeping arrangements. And,
most Importantly, it has its own
security officer. a former F. B. I.
man named Charles Noone, who
Is regarded as fair and mature.
Reports to President.
Unlike his hapless predecessor,

parently played Cinderella to the
