SPEAKING
Florence Kirlin's Specially
Is Keeping Congress Hoppy
By SELMA ROOSEVELT

How would you like to an
swer 5000 letters from Con-
gress during a year, plus "a
900 phone calls?
Those are just some of the
duties carried out in the Office
of the Assistant Secretary Of
State for Congressional Rela-
tons.
For the past three months
this office has been headed by
Florence Kirlin, the first wom-
an to be an acting Assistant
Secretary, while her boss.
Thruston Morton, was out of
the country.
The business Of keeping
Congress in a happy frame Of
mind vis-a-vis the State De-
partment has been Miss Kir-
Inns speciality for over 10 years.
Before that, she spent an
other 10 years on the staff Of
the National League Of Wom-
en- Voters in Washington, again
specializing in congressional
affairs.
AS Miss Kirlin explained, her
Office is responsible for the
planning and presentation to
Congress of every piece Of leg
islation relating to the depart
ment.
Her permanent position is
special assistant to the Assis-
tant Secretary and her special
talents are legislation in the
economic field de, interna-
tional finance. trade), as well
as the geographic areas of Eu-
rope. the Far East and Latin
America.
Congressional Inquiries
Our Office is also the focal
point for all inquiries to con-
gressmen from their constit-
uents," she said. I'VE may be
asked anything from the sig
nif1cance of the recent deten-
ton Of members of Congress
in East Berlin to visa problems,
to arranging appointments
with someone in the depart
ment for a constituent.
1.-The department exists pri-
marily in Washington and
overseas. thus most American
citizens have little contact with
it. So when they do seek help
from us either directly or
through their Congressman. we
make every effort to give them
efficient service"
For a long time one Of the
biggest complaints from Cap
itol Hill was that 1t took the
State Department so long to
answer letters from Congress.
I'VE have worked on this
over the years and now the
average answering time is three
days" she said.
Congress also expects quick
replies when they ask for the
Departments comments on
pending legislation. During
the second session of the 83rd
Congress, Miss Kirlin's Office
answered 1893 such requests.
Where improvement Needed
Although pleased with their
accomplishments, Miss Kirlin
says there are certain areas in
which they hope to improve.
They are working on facil-
itating official congressional
travel abroad; improving the
effectiveness of consultations
at various levels between State
and Congress. and lettering

Miss Kiriin says that being

difference in the effectiveness
Of her work.
Occasionally you are taken
for a nonprofessional person
or one lacking in authority,

she said.

Palmer EIaven Play Anchorage Eagles Thls Saturday

Lively band music, presented by the Palmer High School band. will open the seasons first foot ball game in Palmer this Satur Caay when the Anchorage Eagles cane here for the first of two games planned between the two schools The game will be play ed at the fairgrounds.
 Palmer will field their eleven players in their new football uni forms and equipment. Norman Rousey, coach, said this week that his team is in good shape and ready to take on the Eagles. Through a cooperative agree nent, members of the Anchorage playing team will consist of but one first-string man, their quar- ter-back Jay Walker. This agree ment was reached when 1t was determined that the Anchorage team, with much larger choice of material and many weeks of practice, was not a fair match for the smaller Palmer team, who had had but little practice at that time.
 Tn a scrimmage game with the Huntsville Hornets the Palmer players showed we'll and could give Anchorage quite a bit of trouble. Twenty one players turned out this year for the Moose team and Rousey and Cunningham have been putting them through regular and ire quent practice sessions.
 The second game, planned for October 8 at Anchorage, is ex- pected to see the first string players from the Eagles team on the field.

Committee Hears
(Continued from Daq

Continued from page D in writing. Lucille Mick, city councilwoman and vice-president of the League of Alaska Cities then submitted a statement she had prepared on city needs; an other statement from Charles W.. Wilson, MEA board member, was submitted and statement from W. Louise Kellogg, valley farmer also was submitted.
 While preparations for the luncheon were going on Alfred Hagen and Neil Wright, both Palmer businessmen, spoke to members of the committee on the abandonment of the use of coal by the Alaska Railroad MT. Wright pointed out that at one time the Evan-Jones Coal mine employed PTS men and that now there are but about 35 employed. He blamed this cut down on the change from coal to oil by the railroad. Both men emphasized the need to help the Alaskan in dustries, such as coal mining, by using the products, and not help ing the oil companies of Califor- nla.~
 Harold Dinkle, Valley farmer, presented himself for questioning by the committee, as an average farmer. The questions the com mittee asked brought out that MT. Dinkle has a 240 acre farm of which only 30 acres are under cultivation. If lower cost loans were available to Alaskan farm CTS they could expand and ir1- crease their acreage, he pointed out. When asked by the commit tee what he considered a reason able rate of interest he replied that he thought four percent was reasonable. Alaska needs a few more cash crops, he said. Right now our principal crops are milk and potatoes" More roads would permit grazing, he also pointed out.
