burden Of educating their chill
dren. especially during the costly
college years. In order to meet
this problem. the Foreign Service
has in recent years established
various benefits. For example, II
an officer is stationed at q remote
post like Khartoum in the Sudan,
where his children cannot receive
a suitable education through high
school. the Government will pay
the entire tuition plus transporta-
tion charge Of sending the child
to the nearest adequate school.
1t is estimated that about per
cent Of the service, including some
Of the best men. resign volun-
tarily-to some extent for finan-.
cial reasons. but also because
many. especially those in their
first few years, discover that they
or their wives do not like the
nomadic and somewhat disci-
plined life. Some specialists in
fields like labor, agriculture. etc.,
who had been serving in WASH
ington and were forced to enter
the service under the Wriston pro-
gram, integrating all depart
mental officers into the Foreign
Service, find that they are not
suited to the. more varied duties
required overseas and often join
academic or research institutions
or foundations. Some of the
ablest career officers quit because

In order to weed out the least
capable members Of the service,
the department is about to put
into effect a new policy. Until
now, the Foreign Service has not
been UP to full strength because
Of its expanding responsibilities
since the war and hence had to
retain many who have not
achieved the desired standards.
BY practicing up or OUT" the
department will soon be able to
promote more rapidly its more
competent officers and thus inn

ton often depended more on social
connections and private wealth
than ability.
Still Need Good Man
There is some question In the
minds Of top, State Department
officials who have spent all their
working years in the Foreign
Service whether the quality Of
those entering the service from
the universities is higher than it
was generation ago and whether
it's harder to get into now. Our
Foreign Service is still not attract
ing as many of the top-fiight col
lege graduates as are wanted-the
type who before World War IL
entered the British Foreign once.
But more Of such valuable talent
is applying to the State Depart
ment today than a few years ago.
In the last fiscal year the de-
partment appointed l04 new off,
GERS. Out of 5.l94 who took the
written examination in December,
1856. only 19f passed both it and
the oral examination. In contrast
with 80 years ago when much
specific knowledge on varied sub
jects was required, today's exam
nations are more general. The
best college preparation for the
Foreign Service is q liberal arts
education.
The State Department has
been making q vigorous effort
in recent years, by sending expert
enced foreign service officers to
college campuses throughout the
country, to recruit applicants on
q broad basis so that the incom-
ing officers will be as representa-
tive as possible of all segments OF
the Nation. officials have found
that the increasing number of
college courses in foreign affairs
as well as compulsory military
service have tended, as have books
like "The Ugly American" to
encourage young mep with o
sense Of public service to con-

differences before Huey was assas-
sinated.
Huey's death was the signal for
Earls own move.
He leaped into the next race as
q candidate for Lieutenant Cover
nor on a ticket headed by Richard
W. Leche and with the full Or
ganization behind him.
Thus 1t was that he was first
In. line Of succession when dis
closures Of the Louisiana scandals
forced the resignation Of Leche In
June. 1899. with nearly year Of
the term remaining.
He spent most Of that year on a
political stump. seeking a term in
his own right and loudly boasting:
They've investigated Ole Earl
from one end to the other and
they amt found a thing wrong"
But the scandals had their tell
ing effect.
A virtual unknown, Lake
Charles Attorney Sam Houston
Jones, swept to victory on the re-
form movement.
Defeat has never been sweet to
Earl Long. With vitriolic anger
he left the mansion and started
engineering the next race.
1t was q bitter pill for Earl to
swallow when the financial hackers
decided the 1914 ticket should be
headed by Lewis Morgan Of
Shreveport. although the Long
name was still powerful enough
to rate second place.
1t was even more bitter when
Morgan ran second to hill-billy
Singer Jimmie Davis, although
Long and other ticket members
had substantial pluralities, and
Morgan refused to call of the
second primary. which would have
left Davis to serve his term with
virtually the Long ticket occupy
ing other State Offices.
But he turned back to the stump
again, campaigning continuously
for four years and in 194S he
turned the tables on Sam Jones
and won a second primary victory.
Throwing his support behind a
Baton Rouge judge, Carlos Spaht,
Long hit the campaign trail again
in the 1852 election. But another
Judge, Robert F. Kennon. had
borrowed page from Longs book,
and won easily in a second pri-
mary.

Although reforms are constantly
advocated for the State Depart
ment's foreign service, improve
ments that have taken place since
World War II are substantial.
Today q capable career ofiicer
has probably better chance than
ever before to become an anbas-
sador.
Fifty-five of 81 heads Of diplo-
matte missions abroad are now
careerists.
The latest effort to improve the
caliber Of our ambassadors is
campaign being lead by Senator
Fulbright, Democrat Of Arkansas,
chairman of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee, who feels
strongly that outsiders should be
appointed only If they possess dis
tinct and obvious qualifications
for the particular post.
Senator Fulbright says that un-
less the United States puts such
q policy into effect at once the
Russians will be convinced that
we are not really serious about
our foreign policy, and they will
regard us as amateurs in this
most important business Of for
eign affairs" He points out that
two world wars have occurred in
this century because Germany did
not correctly estimate United
States intentions.
Therefore 1t is essential that
our Ambassadors abroad not
give a misleading impression
through their own inability
to comprehend and carry out our
foreign police. In Senator Full
bright's view ambassadors who
lack adequate knowledge Of the
problems with which they are
dealing and SO cannot gain respect
abroad not only encourage Soviet
miscalculation but also do tremen-
dous damage to United States
prestige in the country to which
they are accredited.

are selected, now numbers about

other hand. one Of his non career
successors had to draw on his
own financial resources.
Mr.. Bowles. who is now a Rep
resentative from Connecticut, has
pointed out that III the American
Ambassador to France were to
live within his official budget
($27,500 annual salary plus $40, 900
tax-free expense allowance) he
would have to close up the So
room Embassy residence, move
Into a smaller house and cut his
entertainment in half (in 1856 he
entertained 1000 guests at 40 re-
ceptions and 5000 more at 200
luncheons and dinners, plus $500
American visitors on July y. In
addition, he would have to refuse
invitations from many important
diplomats or accept their invita-
tons and not reciprocate and in
vite visiting Congressman to 20
with him Dutch treat to restau-
rants on the Left Bank"
The problem of making ends
meet bothers most foreign service
officers, especially the younger
ones in the lower grades who have
little. II any, expense allowances.
In contrast to conditions before
World War II, most younger men
in the service today are married
and have families so they are
forged to entertain toften on 500
a year expense allowance) where
as the prewar bachelor wasn't
expected to do so.
State Department officials con-
slider that the entertainment
allowance Of all officers below the
No. Q position in our Embassies is
too low. For example, the chief
political officer in a major EN-
bassy is likely to have only $500 q
year for this purpose. Such an
officer must entertain extensively
to maintain valuable contacts
an essential part of his job.
Some Leove Service
Although few resign for lack
Of adequate expense allowances,
some Of the most competent for
eign service officers get out when
they are faced with the financial

$500, Of whom more than 800
are women.
In the opinion Of State Depart
ment officials approximately 80
per cent Of our ambassadors
should be drawn from career
officers. Neither the State Depart
ment nor Senator Fulbright would
wish to exclude qualified outsiders
from such posts, because both
recognize the danger Of the
service becoming too ingrown If
all ambassadors were career
officers. In addition. such ex-
tremely successful noncareer am
bassadors as David Bruce in
Germany and Ellsworth Bunker
in India have valuable stimulat-
ing effect on the service.
Senator, Cooper. recently an
ambassador in India, believes
that his effectiveness was en-
hanced because his political back
ground enabled him to speak more
frankly to the political heads Of
the government to which he was
accredited. Some observers would
like the State Department to
draw more heavily on the uni
versities for outside ambassadorial
talent.
Pnyote Income Problem
Although the financial expense
of representing the United States
abroad is often cited as a reason
for appointing non-careerists.
there are at most only half
dozen posts today that require
private income to supplement the
ambassadors salary and allow
ances. These are London, Paris.
Rome, Madrid, Bonn and Rio.
Some career ambassadors believe
that even Rome, or more likely
Bonn, could be adequately han
died without private means.
However. much depends on the
financial housekeeping ability and
requirements Of the particular in
dividual or family as well as the
kind Of a job he sets out to do.

Bowles returned some Of his Of

An evolution is taking place in
the prosaic process Of egg produc-
ton. Small flocks are giving way
to largeScale. scientific, CONNER
cial hatcheries.
The results so far are high out
put and prices lower than they've
been since 194l. Many farmers say
they are losing money daily and
fear bankruptcy. In truth the
small hatchery appears to be on
the way out.
The evolution involves both SCI
entific and commercial develop
ments. Improved feeding. breeding
and medicines have boosted the
average production per hen to
twice the l945 rate. Other scien-
tific advances like mechanical
feeding and coop cleaning make
1t possible for farmers to raise
larger flocks than ever before.
Scientific progress also now makes
1t practical to raise hens for eggs
all over the United States, regard
less Of the climate.
Investing in Eggs
In addition, business organiza-
tions. chiefly feed companies, have
begun to invest in egg production.
They are doing it these three
ways:
/. The investor owns the houses
and the birds. He pays the farmer
to supply the land and labor. This.
means large operations. One Cali
fornia farm like this has 100000
layers. A similar one in North
Carolina has 350,000 hens. Farm
ers have been drawn to"this type
Of so-called 'integrated" produc-
ton because 1t involves no risk
for them.
2. The investor furnishes the
hens and feed. with the producers
providing the buildings and equip
ment. The farmer grows under
contract at a set price per dozen
eggs.
3. The investor guarantees the
farmer a certain market price for
his eggs. Because of the large

and Poultry Subcommittee Of the
House Agriculture Committee
heard egg producers give their
views regarding these bills and
the general subjects Of long range
legislation.
Favor Some Control
In general the witnesses favored
control. Their views varied q
great deal, however. as to what
forms the controls should take.
After listening, Representative
Cooley. Democrat of North Caro-
lima, chairman Of the full COM
mittee, said. We've been corlsid-
ering poultry bills ever since I've
been in Congress, but no group
Of producers have ever produced
a well conceived bill they are will
ing to support"
Though the subcommittee heard
everyone who asked to testify, the
witnesses did not represent all of
the Nations egg producing indus
try. Noticeably missing, for in
stance, were representatives of the
egg famous Delmarva Peninsula.
Agriculture Department officials
say that egg producers in Dela-
ware, Maryland. Virginia, Ala
bama, Mississippi, Arkansas and
Indiana do not want Federal con-
trolls. There is no national organ
ization which speaks for all egg
producers.
In the upper chamber Senator
Williams. Republican of Delaware,
is engaging on a project of his
own. He is conducting q study to
determine whether the Federal
Government is persuing a loan
policy which is encouraging over
expansion Of egg production.
Meanwhile, q barely productable
upward movement in egg market
prices is taking place. BY the end
of July the seasonal pick up in
prices Is due. A sharper culling
rate is taking place now, and the
purchase of chicks has been cut
back sharply. The Agriculture De-
partment looks for this to bring
about major improvement in the
egg picture by late September. It
also looks for this to get Congress
and the egg producers OF its neck.
