Richards Insure of Role
As Doctrine Envoy
BY CROSBY S. MOVES

AS the first tangible product
Of the Eisenhower Doctrine"
it's no wonder If the administra-
TONS newest special ambassador
wears a somewhat glazed look
these days.
A little more than a week ago,
James Prioleau Richards was
cozily nesting down into retire.
ment on his 500-acre farm in
South Carolina. At 50. after "a
years in the House Of Represent
atives. including four as chair
man Of the Foreign Affairs Com
mittee. he looked forward to
taking it easy.
AS a whole, his career as a
legislator was often summed up
by the word 'unohstrusive." A
soft-spoken. homespun geniality
had won him a warm spot in the
hearts of most of his colleagues
but few headlines.
The world at large first took
notice of Mr.. Richards when he
lost his trousers and 5000 while
sleeping on Spanish train in
1949. There were other mild
flurries later-a spat with the
administration over foreign aid
cuts-unkind words for India S
rowing Ambassador Krishna Me-
mona Enthusiastically blunt
Endorsement of the proposed in
vitation to YugoSlav President
Tito: " let him come. AS a
general proposition I think it
would do all those fellows good
to come over here"
His departure from Washing
ton last summer created no stir.
Said one old friend:
Hes just a real old down-to-
earth South Carolinian who loves
to hunt and fish. loves his farm
and loves his cows"
This was up to a week ago.
Today. the sign on the door to
a State Department ofi1ce suite
reads James P. Richards. Spe-
cial Assistant to the President.
Inside, two secretaries pound
briskly at typewriters. A visitor,
waiting his turn. may be startled
by the unusual sight of Secretary
Of State Dulles Fastening away
from a closed-door conference
with his new envoy.
Small wonder If the transition
has resulted in a certain bewil-
derment or If the kindly, quizzi-
cal, white-haired man. sucking
his pipe behind the desk, seems
more plausible as a gentleman
farmer than as a super salesman
of American foreign policy. Ma
tural enough also if he should
be a little hestitant in talking
about his new role.
Busy Listening
This thing he cautions, sis
still pretty much in the talking
stage" I've been running
around here for the past
few days. listening in at all sorts
Of conferences and getting
briefed by a lot Of people.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-01-18

They've been real nice and the
Secretary's door has always been
open. But I don't want to sound
like I was making policy or talk
ing for the department"
In fact, although the new
Presidential assistant has been
impressed by the urgency of his
and sense of its critical
importance to the country. he is
still waiting patiently for any
specific information on what ex-
actly he is supposed to do.
There is a hint of confusion
on this score even among the
administration leaders who APP
pointed him. President Eisen-
hover described his mission as
one ito explain the cooperation
we are prepared to give" to the
Middle East. Secretary Dulles. on
the other hand has explained il
to the Senate as a fact finding
tour. in the course of which Mr.
Richards would ascertain" what
kind of assistance the Middle
Eastern States were prepared tc
receive.
Expect Little Of Both
Il expect it might turn out to
be a little Of BOTH" Ambassador
Richards says in his relaxed way,
I'll go out there and talk with
these people and tell them what
we've got to offer. Then I'll
come on back here and be able
to tell Mr.. Dulles. This is what
you can do here or This won't
go over so we'll here"
One thing. at least, is quite
clear in Mr.. Richards mind.
Insofar as possible, he will steer
clear of what he calls the basic
problems" Of the area-the set
Element of the Suez Canal and
the Arab-Israeli dispute-and
concentrate on the job of COM
batting Communist moves.
IF this gets mixed up with
that other stuff. we'll just get no
place at all" he says. Wen do

started when playing with live Goals
in the basement. The four girls were
upstairs playing with the babies at
the time.
Often the woman found the gates
open in the mornings and stray
cattle, sheep and hogs ravishing the
Homes growing crops inside the
fences. The Home was that un.
popular among its neighbors-such
was the bigotry of the community
Once 81 of the Homes 60 chick
ems were killed during the night
and later it was unjustly sued for a
5000 lumber bill. Next morning
after that an unidentified stranger
knocked at the door and handed
Miss Fay a package without saying
a word then walked away. Inside
the package was exactly 5000. Such
was the friendship towards the
Home in other places.
At the end of the Civil War the
Home had SO children in it and two
thirds of them were soldiers orphans.
By that time the county had upped
its weekly allowance to $125 instead
of the original dollar promised.
1t was because of Catherine Fay's
pleading that the Soldiers Orphans
Home was established at Xenia and
in 18661867 an act was passed in
the state legislature through which
Children's Home could be estab-
lished. in every county in the state
if desired.
In 1867 Washington County bought
100 acres two miles from Marietta
for $4,000 and established such
a Home itself. Miss Fay was
offered it's management but be-
cause the offer did not include the
husband she had acquired six months
before, a farmer named Ewing, she
turned down the job.
During the 10 years Catherine
Fay operated her Children's Home
101 INDECENT children were cared for
there and other homes finally found
for them. Catherine Fay Ewing
ended up cooking for 20 Marietta Col
lege students for a few cents a
week apiece to support her husband.

Children's Home in Ohio in 1853
at her own expense. Out of it grew
the present great Children's Home
system of Ohio.
Born at Westboro, Massachusetts,
Catherine Fay came with her parents
to Marietta in 1888 and taught In
a Choctaw Indian mission school for
10 years at a salary of 500 year
and her board. During that time she
saved up 5000.
Always loving children but never
having one of her own, the spinster
teacher threw up her job, took her
savings and $16O she had inherited
and with $3.50 more borrowed from
a trusting friend bought run down
farm house and IL acres of land on
Moss run, 10 miles east of Marietta.
1t took the rest of 1857 to remodel
the ramshackle house but April /,
1858, Catherine Fay opened the first
Children's Home in Ohio there with
nine children given her by the
Washington County poor house.
Eight were boys under 10 and four
were babies.
The county promised to pay the
woman 81 a head per week for the
keep of the little indigents and
start each one out with snow suit
or dress. 1t would pay half the
medical attendance in sickness and
half the burial expense in case one
died. Catherine Fay was to stand the
rest.
On the first day of May, that
year, school opened and Miss Fay
took five of her charges to the dis
trict school, where they were denied
admittance. Sixteen men were wait
ing at the door to tell her they did
not want the little paupers associat-
ing with their own children there.
Among them were the whole school
board, which left the guardian of
the orphans no recourse nor appeal.
Next Monday Catherine Fay went
TO Marietta and legally adopted the
whole group of little paupers thus
getting them into the school. Being
then her own the children could not
be excluded on any legal terms of
law.
The Home was unpopular in its
own neighborhood but with the help
of Marietta merchants and other
friends it prospered and grew. By
August, 1858, the permanent home
was completed. There were 20 rooms
and had cost about $4,000, mostly on
credit. Out of the income from the
little farm Miss Fay at the end OF
five years had spent $4,000 on the
property and had cancelled the debt
Once when Miss Fay was visiting
her sister she returned just in time

Why does overdieting
often fail to control
overweight?

@. Is it true that more than half the people
who lose weight gain it back?
A. Yes, according to Gallup poll, that is exactly
what happens Often it is because person cuts out
foods to reduce AS he puts those foods back
into his meals and eats the way he used to, the
pounds come creeping back.
@. Does that mean you have to cut out fatten-
ing foods all your life?
A. Nuritionists say it is mistake to think of any
single food as "fattening." No one food is fat
tening in itself when eaten in sensible amounts.
There is simple rule for losing weight, and the
same plan can be adapted for keeping weight off.
G. What is the simple rule for losing weight?
A. A leading authority advises this PLAN Eat the
same foods you are accustomed to, in good variety.
Simply go light on portions. This commonsense
plan includes sugar, both for its energy value and
as an aid in cutting down.

kind of energy your body needs for every action,
