No Longer Isolated

In the days before the war,
we dealt with a few countries
and a few leaders. I remember
what Ambassador Dawes said,
that the job was hard on the
feet and easy on the brain.
Theodore Roosevelt talked
about those who resided in the
Foreign Service rather than
working in 1t. We were an
isolationist country. by tradi-
ton and by policy and by
statute. And therefore those
of you who lived in the Foreign
Service led a rather isolated
life, dealing with compare
lively few people, uninvolved
in the affairs of this country
or in many ways in the affairs
of the country to which you
may have been accredited.
That is all changed now. The
power and influence of the
United States are involved in
the national life Of dozens of
countries that did not exist
before 1945, many of which are
so hard-pressed.
Heavy Burdens
This is the great period of
the Foreign Service, much
greater than any period that
has gone before. And it will be
so through this decade, and
perhaps even more in the years
to come, If we are able to main
tain ourselves with success.
But 1t places the heaviest
burdens upon all of you. In
stead of becoming merely ex-
perts in diplomatic history, or
in current clipping from the
New York Times, now you have
to involve yourselves in every
element of foreign life-labor,
the class struggle, cultural af-
fairs and all the rest-attempt-
ing to predict in what direction
the forces will move. The Am
bassador has to be the master

1akeCriticism,
Kennedy Tells
Diplomats
Nv the Associated Press

President Kennedy has urged
members Of the Foreign Service
to put up with their critics and
advised that those who cannot
stand the heat should get out
of the kitchen"
Mr.. Kennedy made his re-
marks a month ago, addressing
a luncheon Of the American
Foreign Service Association
May 81. He spoke off the
record, but excerpts of his
speech were printed yesterday
in the Foreign Service Journal,
the professional journal Of the
United States Foreign Service.
Mr.. Kennedy told the nearly
900 members of the associa-
ton who attended the luncheon
that it is mot an easy career
to be a Foreign Service officer.
1t Is not an easy life"
But those who criticize the
State Department and the
Foreign Service on Capitol Hill
have not had an easy life
themselves. Mr.. Kennedy con-
Soled his audience.
He said:
Every member of Congress
who subjects you to abuse is
being subjected himself, every
two years, to the possibility
that his career also will come
to an end. He doesn't live q
charmed life. You have to re-
member that the hot breath
is on him also, and it is on the
Senate, and it is on the Presi-
dent, and it is on everyone who
deals with great matters"
Besides criticism from Capt.
toll Hill the Foreign Service is
subjected as an institution, to
the criticisms OF the unin-
formed, and to attacks which
are in many cases malicious
and in many cases self-serv-
ing" Mr.. Kennedy continued
and added:
There is nothing you can
do about it. Either you
have to be able to put UP with
it, or you have to pick a more
secluded spot"
Another issue the President
discussed was whether the ad
ministration should appoint
non-career ambassadors.
Under ideal circumstances,
Mr.. Kennedy said. II the For
eign Service could offer the
best men "in language, in
knowledge. in experience" then
every post abroad would be
filled by a Foreign Service Off
GER.
But. he added. If the best
man can be found outside the
Foreign Service then there is a
place for the non-career Am
bassadors."
AS an example he mentioned
the case of Edwin G. Refs
chauer, the United States Am
bassador to Japan.
He said:
Mr.. Reischauer happens to
have special skills in Japan: he
has a knowledge Of Japanese
and Of the history of the coun-
try, and he has a Japanese
wife"

day the new program will serve

Governments Alliance for Pro-
greSS in Latin America.

tivity in this years election
would neither make policy nor
change policies formulated by
the legislative leaders an d
elected members Of the party.
For this reason, he said he
does not believe it will create
a situation similar to the one
that developed in Democratic
ranks several years ago when
the Democratic National Com
mittee set up an advisory coun-
Gil which worked Independently
Of congressional leaders.
Rumble Of Discomfort
But the new Republican move
brought q rumble Of discomfort
from Senator Barry Goldwater
of Arizona, the favorite of con-
servatives in the party, who
addressed a sharp letter yester-
day to @. o. P. National Chair
man William e. Miller.
The letter questioned the
wisdom of setting up an or
ganization in Washington to
duplicate what the National
Committee is doing"
Senator Goldwater directed
his criticism mainly at mem
bers of q National Republican
Citizens Committee made UP
largely Of persons who were
active on similar committees in
the INSTRUMENTATION and
Nsxon-Lodge Presidential cam
paigns.
Senator Goldwater told Mr..
Miller he was in complete &C
cord with the plea made by
Gen. Eisenhower at GettyS-
burg for party unity, and men,
bers of the Senator's staff said
he was not criticizing the All
Republican Conference itself.
'Devisive Tactics"
, Senator Goldwater's criticism
was directed mainly at a list
of leaders Of the Citizens Com
mittee printed in a New York
newspaper. Senator Goldwater
wrote:
Most of those named as
leaders Of this new group con-
tributed to the devisive tactics
of the 1860 campaign when

many cases self serving. But
either you have to be able to
put up with it, or you have to
pick a more secluded spot.
Personally. I think the place
to be is in the kitchen, and /
am sure the Foreign Service
officers of the United States
feel the same way.
Need Mono Career Men
One of the other points
which I know is Of concern, is
this question Of career versus
non-career.
The pressures which come
upon a President. as you know,
are many. We try to do our
best in picking the best man
available. We have a higher
percentage of ambassadorial
posts occupied by career men,
So per cent. than at almost any
time in this century, with the
exception Of a few months at
the end Of 1859.
My own feeling is that there
Is a place for the non-career
Ambassador-not for political
reasons, but when he happens
to be the best man available.
For example, Mr.. Reischauer
happens to have special skills
In Japan; he has a knowledge
Of japanese and Of the history
OF the country. and he has a
japanese wife. I had only met
Mr.. Reischauer when he came
to call on me to go to Japan.
But his was a distinguished
appointment and to a country
which has an intellectual ira
dition. My feeling is we should
send career men, to the maxi
mum extent possible, unless
there happen to be special
skills which a non-career officer
holds.
Should Be the Best
On the other hand, the ca
reer men themselves have to
be Of the best quality. You
cannot expect any President or
Secretary of State, merely to
please the career officers, to
send a career officer to a post
If he is not the best. He should
be the best. After ten or twenty
years in the Service. he should
be the best. in language, in
knowledge, in experience. He
should be able to stand up to
any competition. If we get the
best we can get in the Foreign
Service at the beginning, every
post will go to a Foreign Serv-
ice officer. I am sure that all
a Foreign Service officer asks is
to be judged fairly, without
bringing in extraneous circum-
stances, on this basis of judg-
ment: Who is the best man for
that post at that time, given
the situation in the United
States and the situation in that
country? That should be the
standard.
Now in some cases it will be
a non-career appointment, but
in many cases, in my judgment,
we will end up with the best
man available. and he will be a
Foreign Service officer.
A Changing Period
Lastly. I want to say one word
about the next year or so. We

for job cuts. They told the
House subcommittee a task
force would soon be set up to
visit field installations to see
which jobs could be eliminated.
Commerce officials gave the
impression they felt that job
cuts wouldn't be feasible in
headquarters offices here.
PAY FACTOR-Another rea-
son why pay raises for Govern
ment classified and postal en-
ployes this year will be of
rather modest proportions is
the new contract signed by the
United Steel Workers and the
Nations major aluminium COM
panies.
AS in the case of the previous
settlement with the steel COM
panies. the contract called for
no pay raises for the workers
only improved fringe benefits.
The non-inflationary type set
Element is bound to have its
effect on the size of Federal
and postal employee pay raises
this year.
JURISDICTIONAL DISPUTE
Its considered likely that the
AFL-CIO will seek to avoid
making a decision on the
charges made by the United
Federation of Postal Clerks that
the National Associations of
Letter Carriers is guilty of
jurisdictional raiding. The two
groups are the largest Govern
ment employe unions in the
AFL-CIO and have been at
Ilogger-heads for some time.
The clerks charge that the
letter carriers have attempted
to enroll clerks as members in
connection with the recent post
al election. AFL-CIO officials
hope that now the election is
over and the ballots are being
counted, that the dispute can
be resolved amicably without
official AFL-CIO action. An
other reason for the AFL-CIO's
reluctance to censor the letter
carriers-William Doherty, let
ter carriers president. is a ma
tional vice president Of the
AFL-CIO and a member of its
executive board.

The emphasis on the sis
ter note in current White
House circles recalls the roles
played by sisters of -Presi-
dents and First Ladies
throughout m any admins
trations.
Mrs. Kennedy's sister Lee,
Princess Stanislas Radziwill,
is certain to be guest at the
White House at frequent in
tervals during the CO mi n g
season. The younger set is
on the qui vive for the an
nouncement of the dates for
the promised debut tea and
d lance for Mrs. Kennedy's
half-siSter, Miss Janet Au-
chincloss, and the Presidents
three sisters always command
their share Of interest.
Mrs. Kennedy and her sis
ters might well be likened to
Mrs. James Madison - who
was still in her thirties when
she became the chatelaine of
the Presidents House - and
her younger sisters.
Lucy, the widow of George
Washington's nephew, George
Steptoe Washington, lived in
the White House until her
marriage, in the Oval Room
now known as the Blue Room
to Thomas Todd, justice of
the United States Supreme
Court, in 1911.
Anna, wife Of Representa-
tive Richard Cults of Maine,
won many laurels as a host
ess in the mansion on the
northeast corner Of Lafayette
Square now known as the
Dolly Madison House.
Although the exact details
have been lost in the pages
of history it is probable that
another sister, Mary, became
the first White House bride
when she was married to
Gen. John George Jack
son, Representative from Vir-
ginia. They were married in
the upstairs sitting room in
1910.
Loved Washington
Dolly and her sisters en-
joyed life at the White House
and the Federal City so much
that they were frequently
spoken of as THE Queen OF
Hearts" and the Merry
Wives Of Windsor"
A foursome of Virginia
gentlewomen accented the
White House scene when the
second Mrs. Woodrow Will
son reigned as First Lady.
Mrs. Wilson'S sisters, Ger
trude, Mrs. Alexander Gait;
Anna Lee, Mrs. Matthew
Maury, and Miss Bertha Boil
ling often assisted at White
House events.
The death recently Of Lucy
Heron Lippitt recalls the
days when this sister Of Mrs.
William Howard Taft was a
leading Washington hostess
as Mrs. Thomas Laughlin
and later as Mrs. Henry F.
Lippitt, wife Of the Senator
from Rhode Island. Mrs.
Laughlin and another sister,
Miss Maria Heron, received
guests at the White House on
a number of occasions when
Mrs. Taft was i'll and Miss
Helen Taft was in college.
One afternoon when Mrs.
Laughlin was receiving the
guests at one of the famous
Taft garden parties it began
to rain. With the weightiest
of our Presidents by her side
Mrs. Laughlin ran from her
place under the Taft elm tree
to the East Room With cor
dial savoir -faire she contin-
ued her duties as hostess al
though raindrops glistened on
her wide-brimmed hat and
her dress was wet in spots.
Mrs. Herbert Hoover's sis
ter, Mrs. Jean Henry Large,
has a place in history as the
mother Of a White House
debutante. Mrs. Hoover gave
a tea and a dance for her
pretty niece, Janet Large.
