equal service can and should be

New British Information Head
And Wife Have Piano Problem
By SELMA ROOSEVELT

The new head of the
British Information Services
and Mrs. Michael Robb are
hardy veterans of some
twenty years of diplomatic
life. but they have one in
evitable problem everytime
they change posts.
It's the grand piano. Mrs.
Robb is an accomplished
pianist and a licentiate Of
the Royal College Of Music.
and she's not happy unless
she has her piano with her.
But we've frequently had
to remove windows. and once
even take some beams off
the ceiling, to get the piano
into our various homes"
said Mrs. Robb.
At the moment they have
just moved into an attrac-
tive Georgetown house (on
P street,. and are waiting
for their things to arrive.

knowledge-at all levels,
really. And they want to
know facts and figures-I
think rather more than we
do"
According to Mr.. Robb one
of the subjects they are most
often queried about is ma
tionalized medicine in Brit
ain.
In addition to handling all
contacts with radio, press
and television, Mr.. Robb's
nationwide staff also do a
great deal of public speak
ing.
How many people does it
take to maintain this organ
iZation which stretches from
California to New York?
About 120 in all, includ-
ing secretaries" said Mr..
Robb. Washington is their
policy directing center and
New York is their big me-
chanical center where they
print and distribute much of
their information.
Mr.. Robb pointed out that
theirs is not a propaganda
outfit but rather, "Our in
formation Is offered on the

toned about doing ones

The Robbs are no strang-
erS to America. They met
and were married here in
l943 and during his career
he has spent eight years on
post in New York and
Miami.
Now, as Minister in the
British Embassy and head Of
the British Information
Services throughout the
United States. he has a
chance to renew and expand
his contacts throughout the
country.
Commenting on his new
job, Mr.. Robb explained, In
formation in the more i'm
portant sense cannot exist
without policy. And our first
job is to explain policy. But
Of course the bread and
butter part of our work is
the handling Of thousands
of requests for information
about my country"
The thing that impresses
him most about Americans
is, their earnest desire for
