The "no-mars" Is q distinctive
breed Of Federal ofiicial because
his stay here IL frightened by few
moments Of glory, his function is
the DETECTION Of misguided zeal
on the part Of his associates, and
= his departure Is usually un-
mourned.
The Importance Of the no
man" was marked last week by
the designations. Of two Of Presi-
dent Eisenhower,s nveliest, Maui
rice STAINS Of the Budget Bureau
and Elwood Quesada Of the Fed
eral Aviation Agency. Their plans
for departure rasied the question
Of where the Kennedy admins

tive talent amid the ranks of the
ambitious and creative personali-
ties who viii soon take office.
Mr.. STAINS, an apostle Of policies
which will shortly become his
torical documents, was plainly
marked for exit by Richard M.
Nixnn's defeat. Gen. Quesada,
working In the technical and nom
technical political area Of air
safety, might have been retained
by the new administration and
was strongly pushed for retention
BY many elements Of the industry
he has regulated. But he carries
the scars Of his battles and the
new administration clearly in
tends to start with a fresh face.
But the experiences Of the two
men are notable in that both
managed their difficult roles with
a consistent deftness that Is likely
to make them models for future
generations Of "no-men" in
Washington. They survived the
perils Of their tasks and emerged
with luSter apparent at least to
those who were close enough 70
perceive their difficulties.
Center Of Conservatism
Mr.. STAINS, a Midwestern account
ant with precise but easy man
ner, took the helm Of the Budget
Bureau almost three years ago
after three distinguished prede-
cessors had gone down almost in
flames. The Budget Bureau had
become, in these early years Of
the Eisenhower administration. a
sort Of black chamber of con-
servatism, q heavy hand manipu-
lated behind a cloak Of secrecy.
Its directors were freely reviled
in Congressional debates and In
the private meetings Of frustrated
Federal officials.

administration. Mr.! STAINS was
backed all the way by Eisen-
hover and Secretary Of the Treas

three were generally in iock-step.
But the new President and his
Secretary of the Treasury have.
been notable in public life as ad-e

Mr.. Bells course will be a difficult
balance between negativism and
liberalism. .. ...
As the first administrator of
the Federal Aviation Agency, Gen.
Quesada brought a direct ap-
proach to a fnuSty area of Fed
eral regulation. Adopting a phi
losophy that the first responsibility
of the regulator is to the public
instead Of to the industry that
he regulates, the former Air Force
general plunged headlong against
the sacred cows that seemed to
him to block the way to air safety.
He stirred the indignation Of
the pilots by Tightening the in
spection Of their procedures and
setting their retirement age and
the intermittent wrath of the
airlines by stiffening their safety
precautionsI and speaking bluntly
In the wake Of their crashes. He
made name for himself but it
was often q controversial one.
He worked hard to sustain his
political leverage by keeping his
point of view before the public.
The performance Of these two
officials suggest the necessity of
"no-men" in government who pos
sess sufilcient skill and character

The Personal Angle
A vigorous man, Mr.. Rusk, like
most tail men, has trouble keep
ing his legs out Of the way at the
conference table. And like many
tall men. he acquired trick knee

During his college days at
Davidson, N. c.. Mr.. Rusk found
time not only to win Phi Beta
Kappa key and q Rhodes scholar
ship at Oxford. two marks Of first
class membership in the new Ken
nedy cabinet, but also to play
basketball, baseball, track and
tennis, to work OF and on as a
waiter, in q bank and in reserve

training which took him out Of a
professorship in Mills College In
California and into World War II.
The old State Department group
doesn't remember the hard-work-
ing Rusk for any kind of sports
interest in the early. 1950s here.
There was work seven days a
week, seldom less than Is hours
a day--no time for outside activ-
tiles or social life. He worked and
went home exhausted to be with
family in their suburban Virginia
apartment. And today he has
neither the means nor the inclina-
ton to enter the Washington So

Heoded Study Ponel

In 1859 Mr.. Rusk was chairman
Of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund
panel which produced o compre-
hensive prospectus on the mid
century challenge" to American
foreign policy. It had some caus-
tic things to say about statecraft
in the Dulles manner. But pas
sages on the Secretary of States
crushing burden indicate that Mr..
Rusk comes to his job with his
eyes wide open. ..
The Secretaryship, said Mr..
Rusk's panel, is IAN almost i'm
possible Office in this country.
The public has tended to be mis-
trustful Of the Secretary Of State,
whatever his political party or
whatever the actual policies he
has pursued. 1t has condemned
him to spend a disproportionate
amount Of his time and energies
In explaining and justifying his
course. It has thus exacted q toll
Of his vital spirits and Of his
capacity for objective thinking
which can Ill be spared in the
harsh contest with the Soviet. 4.

with the problem Of Communist
China as it emerged a power, on
the Asian mainland were good
training for what promises to- be

ministration. The conclusions on
China policy reached by the Rookie

is to be expected. That Is farther
than the Rusk panel went.

the report: What is clear Is that
Communist China is in a posture
which. in past historical expert
ence. has almost invariably led to
aggression. It has a rapidly grow
ing population, a shortage Of vital
resources. and a fanatical ideology.
Around a large part of its perrin

inflltration, subversion and out

upon the United States as It's

obstacle to its domination Of the

Priority List
AS Mr.. Rusk prepares to move
UP to the new Seventh-fioor Offices
Of the Secretary Of State, Laos is
in ferment. Also high on his
priority list will be the Congo,
Cuba, the Dominican Republic,
Berlin, the question of nuclear-
test resumption, the Soviet threat
to the United Nations, the need to
compose q new disarmament
policy, the prospect of q widening
split in the Latin American
alliance at the Organization Of
American States meeting in Quito
next March, Mr.. Khrushchev's
impending overtures for summit
conferences, q CENTO conference
in February, q SEATO meeting at
the end Of February or the first
part Of March, the May NATO
session with pressures for reSolu-
ton Of the nuclear weapons
problem. and the prospect that
Russia will launch the first man
into space at any moment.
This formidable catalogue will
tax even the energy and capacity Of
Secretary Of State Dean Rusk. He
is ready to face the challenge.

Ms Ides Of Good Work
Dean Rusk's examples of recent
American triumphs, Of diplomacy
are the non-presidential variety:
The handling of the first Berlin
Blockade by Ambassador Philip C.
Jessup, the negotiations Of the
japanese peace treaty by John
Foster Dulles and the Austrian
peace treaty settlement by Am
bassador Lewellyn E. Thompson.
One type Of summit diplomacy
which the Secretary designate has
not foreclosed Is as q keep talk
