Protocol
Office Adds
ADeputY

For the first time in the
history of the State DEPART
ment, the Chief of Protocol
has two deputy chiefs, with
the appointment of 44-year
old Robert r. Corrigan.
Mr.. Corrigan moved into
the Protocol Office last Mon
day, so quietly that it wasn't
discovered until yesterday.
He will hold equal status,
but different duties, with Mr..
Clement E. Conger, who has
been promoted from Assistant
Chief rank to be Deputy Chief
in charge Of Ceremonial
Functions.
THE work load is so much
HEAVIER than it used to be, we
have had to redevide the di-
vision and redistribute the
work." Mr.. Buchanan ex-
planned.
One of the reasons for the
change is that former Assist
ant Chief Henry C. Spruks,
now Special Assistant to Mr..
Buchanan, is prevented by
poor health from carrying the
amount of work he did be-
fore. He got out of the hospi-
tai only recently after a
several-month stay.
Mr.. Spruks, an expert on
protocol-he organized the
division in 1887, has been
assigned to write a Manual
on Protocol for the use Of the
department and others in
need Of protocol information.
Mr.. Corrigan. who was last
posted in our embassy in
Chile, found out about his new
appointment while attending
the National War College
here. He was taking a course
in American foreign policy
which he completed in June.
Born in Cleveland, Ohio,
Mr.. Corrigan has a pretty
wife, the former Jane Cars
well of Glens Falls. N. Y, and
two children; Kevin, S. and
Mary Annette, 4. They live
in a house in Chevy Chase,
Md.

appeal TO Congress Ia l94S

Of tears.
Last Friday at a University

where she received an hon

Nine. Chang denounced de-
featism on the part Of un-
named intellectuals in the
free world and urged the
United States TO continue its
fight, through armament,
against Communism.
What she has to tell the
men Of the press should be
interesting.

mitS. "We had so pieces of
luggage, and each child had
an individual handbag. So we
had beaucoup suitcases,' she
recalled.
"On board ship, we fed the
little children in the state
rooms and let the older ones
go into the dining room with
us. Usually we had about
seven or eight at table. On
the Fourth of July there were
ten of us at the table; we
left the baby asleep"

And as a casual after
thought, she added, Its quite
difi1cult to arrange these
things aboard ship.
Mrs. WiggleSworth consid-
cred it a boon that there
were about 200 children in
first class coming over on the
ship, many of them returning
with their families from tours
in France and Germany.
None of ours was without
a friend during the whole
trip"
With such a large brood,
Mrs. Wigglesworth says the
only thing about getting
home again that she breads
is the problem of getting
adequate domestic help. Al
most wistfully, she recalls,
I'VE had an old French
woman who worked for us
for three years. She did
everything - cooking, laun-
dry, nursemaid a real
housekeeper."
But it's wonderful to be
back in our own home
again." she added. "And the
children try to be helpful"

quite a thrill to the grand
parents, particularly since
they had two new grand
children to meet.
Eyes, when we went to
France, we had seven and
when we came home we had
nine" Mrs. WiggleSworth said.
I'VE loved Paris: 1t was quite
an education. All the children
speak French fluently. But /
don't know how long they're
going to remember it."
The children range in age

STRANGE MUSIC ema-
mated yesterday afternoon
from the rear deck of the
Cuban Ambassadors yacht as
it cruised comfortably about
in Chesapeake Bay on it's
twin 300-horsepower diesel
engines. The luxurious
85-foot cruiser, equipped with
three Staterooms and three
baths, air conditioning and
hi-f1 throughout, had on
board the Ambassador and
Sonora de Arroyo-Lyn and
Gaby (the yacht is called
Gabylyn V)--the Chief of
Protocol and Mrs. Wiley Bu-
chanan, Col. and Mrs. Michael
Rogers, and some of the EN-
bassy staff as well as the
young sons of the aforemen-
toned.
At one point after lunch
the Ambassador handed out
a strange assortment Of mu-
sical instruments - a gourd
and stick to Ruth Buchanan,
a small bonga drum to Wiley,
two sticks together to Virginia
Rogers, maraccas to Michael,
a big bonga drum to his wife
while the Ambassador him
self took a decorated jaw
bone of an ass complete
with teeth which made a
strange "boing" sound when
struck by the hand. All
tackled the instruments with
abandon to keep time to the
cha-cha-cha ceming over the
hi-fl, and the sounds, min
gled with the giggles Of the
participants, were wondrous
to the ear.
The fishing in. the bay yes
terday was sensational. All
the young boys aboard
dropped lines into the water
and in 20 minutes caught IA
rockfish. Gaby de Arroyo
followed suit and caught one

YOURS
HugueS LIE Gollois Retires;;
Diamonds Dozzle at Supper
By BETTY BEALE

Hugues lie Calais, chief Of
the Luxembourg mission for
18 years. win not return to
Washington.
The quiet, unrufled and
dignif1ed diplomat from the
important little duchy Of
Luxembourg is retiring from
diplomatic service, though he
hasn't actually reached re-
tirement age.
Now vacationing with his
Venetian wife in their apart
ment on Venice's Grand Ca
nal, the Ambassador may
have decided to end his Dip
lomatic career for several
reasons.
One might be that IS years
at the top post is long enough,
and the Ambassador has not
been in the best of health
recently. Hughes lie Calais
would be dean of the diplo-
matte corps In Washington
were it not for the fact that
during the first Is years of
his tour here his residence
was a legation, not an en-
basSy.
Another reason might be
that their son BERTHE has been
graduated from Harvard and
is now a postgraduate stu
dent in Paris, and the family
prefers not to be so far apart.
And a third reason could
be their very attractive abode
in that heavenly city Venice
which they have been fixing
up in recent years.
With the departure Of the
lie Calais goes probably the
finest privately owned ORR
entail art collection in Wash
ington, soon to be housed
in a gallery in Venice-the

Titan tresSes in town-his
wife's, and a respected and
well-liked couple.

AN EXTRAORDINARY
COURTESY is being extended
to the Prime Minister Of
Ghana, DR.. Kwame Nkru-
nah, during his forthcoming
Washington visit. The
chiefs of mission from every
independent country in
Africa-Liberia, Sudan, Mo-
rocco, Tunisia, Libya, the
United Arab Republic and
Ethiopia--have joined forces
to give a reception in his
honor on Friday, July 25, in
the Terrace Room of the
Shoreham.
An Ambassador from one
of the aforementioned coun-
tries says it's being done
simply as a courtesy, but it
is so unusual that one can't
help thinking why such a
tribute is being paid to the
prime minister of one coun-
try by representatives of
seven other foreign nations.
-. Perhaps it's because DR..
Nkrumah, who went from a
British Jail to prime minis
tership and might be called
the George Washington Of
Ghana, is looked upon as
the flaming symbol Of African
independence.
He comes just at the time
when African independence
receives new recognition over
here i. e. congressional ap-
proval of an Assistant Sec
retaIy of State for African
Affairs. :. In cid entally,
three names come to mind as
possible choices for this job:
Representative Frances s
Bolton, who has done more
than anyone to get this boost
for Africa-though she may
not want to sacrifice her
seniority in the House--and
Julius Holmes and Joe
Palmer, the two top men now
handling African affairs.

Canada's Purchasing Co-ops
Make 1857 Their Big Year

OTTAWA-(CNS)-1 was the
biggest year in history for Canada's
farm supply co-ops, the Agriculture
Department reports. Their combined
sales rose to $283,73O, almost
1919 ahead of 1856 which was their
largest previous year.
Canadian co-ops also marketed
100000 worth of crops and
livestock for their members last year.
This was up only slightly (.2%) from
1856 and was only the third largest
year in Canadian history. Even so,
this was 800 of all the products
Canadian farmers took to market last
year.
Coop members bought $75 million
worth of food through their supply
co-ops in 1857. This is more than they
spent for livestock feed or fertilizer
or petroleum or any other group of
products.
The people who own and use these
co-ops have invested $182 for each 81
in borrowed capital, bank notes, bills
they owe, and other liabilities.

$50 Billion Loss Laid

peanuts contrasted to those which

billion in lost production this year.
That, he notes is Gin addition to i'm

more in goods and services this year
if it had continued to expand at the
