Mr.. Mcclure said that his
only complaint with the cur

In his prepared statement,
Mr.. MCGUIRE reported that
since January /. 1857, his Of

AUTOMATICALLY SPEAKING
Farewell Thoughts
From Envoy Bohemian
BY AMELIA YOUNG
star stan Writer


II you think an ambassador
does. most Of his work on the
cocktail circuit. you're wrong.
Take 1t from veteran AM
bassador Erik Bohemian Of
Sweden. who's attended q
great many cocktail parties
In his 10 years as chief Of
mission here.
Mr.. Bohemian is retiring
from diplomatic life July !,
after 40 years bf service In
the corps. He plans to return
home with his family and
take UP the life Of gentleman
farmer and businessman.
In q farewell interview last
week, the tall, good-natured
Ambassador discussed the JOB
Of an envoy.
Attending and giving cock
tail parties, he said, is q very
small part Of it. They are
q necessary thing. when one
must entertain many people
and cannot afford to have
them all to dinner. But they
are not very important"
Real Opportunity
A "much less futile" form
Of social activity for an AM
bassador, he said, is the
small luncheon or dinner.
.'Here one has a real oppor-
tunity to talk with others. to
exchange ideas with people In
Inherent fields-politics, adj
rninistration, economics and
SO on.
"You don't necessarily
reach any conclusions in
these conversations" Ambas-
sador Bohemian said, but
you gather information. And
this is extremely important.
Today an envoy strives to
meet people in all walks OF
life. His job, Mr.. Bohemian
said, sis very much different
from what it was at the time
of World War I or further
back. Then the diplomat
was concerned mainly with
political questions. But to-
day it is so much easier to
get this information from
other sources, more directly.
The sphere of (diplomatic)
activity is vastly increased"
In addition to collecting al
kinds of data for his own
government. an envoy here
must keep Americans inter-
ested in and up-to-date on
the activities Of the country
he represents. This material
Ambassador Bohemian said
is commonly labeled "propa-
ganda, but I prefer to cal
1t information"
Other major duties OF Z
modern ambassador (takini
Mr.. Boheman's as an ex'
ample) are:
Y Negotiating with authori
ties for meetings between
Swedish and United State
leaders In various fields. Thi

The retiring Ambassador
said he has Immensely" en-
joyed his tour in Washing
ton, where zone can put his
hands on the pulse of
history"
He has watched the city
"grow bigger all the time"
but has seen no change in its
temperament. he said. Here
one has suburban life with

life is still centered In the
homes. Many people come
