Dec. 6.--While there are 5000
Air Force men who marry Eu-
ropean girls every year. there
is no recorded instance Of an
American woman working for
the Air Force in Europe ever
marrying q European man.
I'VE only started keeping the

Major Flanagan's educated

money as the Americans we
might have dates with at home.
But it's more than that. had

Another girl reported. Il Just

cause knew how little he could
afford to spend the money"
Said another: Money is not
everything-but I've Just grown
accustomed to it."
We asked German why the
German men did not date
American women. How does
one ever meet them? They
move in their own circles. they
speak q different language. !
They seem terribly distant and
aloof."

Of GIuck Raises Furor

Is starting his official career as
Q new exhibit "A" against
hiring wealthy businessmen Is
diplomats.
Unlike others who served for
. while before they were made
to look ridiculous. Mr.. 0luck
has given Washington one Of
its better summer laughs-and
moved President Eisenhower to

Senator Fulbright. Democrat
Of Arkansas, q former Rhodes
scholar, started 1t all at q closed
Foreign Relations Committee
meeting on July 2 with o cross
examination on what Mr.. Gluck
did not know about the troubled
area he viii serve.
Casual Technique
Almost casually. the Senator
drew from the head Of the
chain of 140 Darling Corp.
stores that he had contributed
$4,000 to two Eisenhower cam
paigns.
But Mr.. Gluck insisted that
was not the principal reason"
for his appointment and then
the official stenographer took
down this transcript:

Long A Controversy
President Eisenhower's anger
on questions about Mr.. Gluck
and his heated insistence that
the store man was appointed
for ability" and not for his
$4,000 contributions might
have been tempered by the
memory Of other bloopers by
diplomatic dilettantes Of the
past.
AS far back as the Harding
administration, Embassy circles
were laughing about Alexander
P. Moore, the Pittsburgh news
paper publisher who was mar
ried to actress Lillian Russell
and whom Mr.. Harding made
Ambassador to Spain. Mr..
Moore. q possessor Of numerous
Brooklyn characteristics, in
sisted. among other things, on
referring to SPANS monarch
Theoretically as "the Kink."
More recent was the case of
Harry Humans Minister to
Luxembourg. Perle Mesta. The
machine tool and oil Million
airess caused a minor stir en-
route to her assignment by say
ing at a news conference in
Paris that she seriously thought
a few Of the supper parties
that were her speciality would
do a lot to stop the cold war. I"
Mrs. Mesta's parties didn't cool
the Soviet Union. but her
tenure did help keep United
States diplomacy in the gossip
columns.
Corrected" Appointment
An earlier Eisenhower ap-
pointment that had to be cor
rected" was that Of Col. Rob-
ert M. Guggenheim, the copper
heir who rivals Mrs. Mesta as
a party giver, and whose diplo-
matte career as Ambassador to
Portugal lasted only a year
and a half.
Other amateur Ambassadors
Glare Boothe Luce in Italy
and Douglas Dillon in France
have proved to be excellent APP
pointees. Ambassador Gluck,
however. Washington agrees,
seems bent on proving the gen.
eral rule that the professionals
do better.
