DEPARTMENT OF STATE Consular Service Consolidated With Diplomatic Branch in 1924 Tkla to tli* fifth ot m series ef six ■article* en the state 4ea*rtment and (to persennel by Waiter A. Shead, Western Newspaper Unlen's Wash- tnrten eerrespendent. By WALTER A. SHEAD Washington, D.C. — Benjamin Franklin was the first member of the foreign service of the United States department of state when in 1776 he was appointed joint com missioner to France and in 1778 minister to France. At least seven men who later became President served as chiefs of missions abroad. The consular service was launched in 1780 as an adjunct of the diplomatic service, but was not consolidated with it until 1924. Briefly, the foreign service rep resents the American people and the American government through out the world and is the means of carrying out American foreign pol icy abroad In the set-up of the functional operation of the state department as now constituted, the foreign service operates directly under the secretary and the under secretary of state. It is broken down into six major departments and these in turn are broken down into 18 small offices. The six main bu reaus, all under an assistant sec retary of state, include the bureau of German affairs, bureau of Unit ed Nations affairs, bureau of Euro pean affairs, bureau of inter-Amer ican affairs, bureau of near east ern, south Asian and African af fairs and the bureau of far east ern affairs. With the eyes of the world focused today on the Far East and South Asia, these latter two departments are of tremendous importance. The Near East and the south Asian af fairs bureau is broken down into the office of Greek, Turkish and Iranian affairs, the office-of Afri can and near e a st e r n affairs and the office of south Asian af fairs. The bureau of far eastern affairs is broken down into the of fice of Chinese affairs, the office of northeast Asian affairs and the office of Philippine and southeast ern Asian affairs. Presiding over the near eastern burfeau is Assistant Secretary George Crew McGhee of Texas, an Oklahoma university graduate and a Rhodes scholar. Serving as chief of the Far Eastern affairs bureau is Dean Rusk of Georgia, a grad uate of several American colleges By INEZ GERHARD Patsy Campbell, star of CBS’s "The Second Mrs. Burton,” and her radio actor husband, A1 Reilly, have yet to get a taste of Bermuda sunshine.

So conscious has the department of state become of the necessity of winning political objectives through diplomacy after the coun try has won military victories or without military aid, the depart ment in 1947 established the foreign service institute, which is actually a school for training young men and women in the foreign service of the country. It is departmentalized for specialized training, including schools for all the languages of the world. ^ .The. institute tsuflow locatedJa an eight-story building at 2115 C street N.W. in Washington and periodically its graduates, coming from every state in the union, find their way into the ranks of the foreign service. The institute also trains employees of other govern mental agencies concerned with foreigh affairs. Hie courses run up to six months, with the regular course for new foreign service of ficers now three months. • The school for basic officer training provides courses designed to prepare new personnel for ini tial field duty. The school of ad vanced officer training is con cerned with graduate-level instruc tion in the social science fields, in cluding economics, politics, law, sociology, social psychology, cul tural anthropology, etc. And the school of languages is designed to equip the employees with a rudi mentary or even advanced knowl edge of the language of the coun try of assignment The foreign service institute equips the representatives of the American people to do a much bet ter job for them in the 75 nations where consuls, embassies and other diplomatic missions are main tained. By the measurement of every yardstick the training is giv ing to the department a higher type of American citizen than has ever before been possible. 28. Walk slowly 19. Unadorned 30.

"S ■47 ft 44 ■ Wing Shooting We agree with that vast majority of outdoor writers who assert that wing-shooting cannot be taught by the printed word. It’s a fact—it can’t be done. But as in any other sport or undertaking, there are certain little skills picked up by the veter an which may often help the begin ner—or even a veteran scatter-shot man whose shooting isn’t as good as, it should be. For instance, here’s one tip, if fol lowed, that is guaranteed to im prove the field score of an indiffer ent wing-shot: When hunting quail, remember that your chance for a kill is better if you will single out one bird at a time. That chance be comes even better if you’ll wait un til Mr. Bobwhite "levels off.” THE FICTION CORNER SECOND WIFE By Richard H. Wilkinson L IFE began for Lionel Ainsley when he met Cynthia Trumble. She was the fulfillment of dreams that were dreamed while he sat alone by his camp fire in the wil derness, while he listened to the hoots of owls and the screeches of bobcats, and won dered if the time would ever come when somebody sat with him by the fire and listened to the night sounds that had been his only companions since graduation from the state school of forestry two years ago. He met Cynthia when he came out of the bush one June for a short vacation. They were married the day he was due to start back into the woods. The first week was deliciously sweet Cynthia had been a country girl, and because Lionel was her first real love, she eagerly looked forward to spending weeks alone with him in the wilderness. That was before they reached Woodsville, where Lionel had his base. There was a big packing com pany at Woodsville, run by a man named Benton, who had a son named Austin. Fresh from college young Austin had come to Woods ville to learn the packing busipess. Quite naturally the place was dull and boring to one so sophisticated. Then Lionel and his pew wife arrived, and Austin looked on Cynthia and vowed to know her better. Austin had that polish about him that attracts women. So when Liopel finally headed his BROADWAY AND MAIN STREET 30 Months Late, Letter Makes a Christmas in August By BILLY ROSE This morning s batch of mail included the following from a man in Great Neck, L. L: Dear Billy Rose: As you probably noticed in the papers one day last August a boy named Henry TurriU found a sack of undelivered mail in the rear of. a junked automobile on the outskirts of Great Neck. It consisted mostly of Christmas cards which had been mailed in December, 1947, and the post office, after apologizing for the delay, prom ised to deliver them the next day. Billy Robb Well, one of the pieces of mail was addressd to me—a letter from my wife, postmarked Cleveland, Ohio, and dated De cember 19, 1947. But what was In that letter won’t make sense to you unless I first tell you some thing about myself. Shortly after I' was married in '44, the draft boards be gan taking anything with two legs, and after ten months in Texas I was put on a boat and shipped off to that swamp called Qkinawa. By the time I got there, the shooting was over, so I guess ? was better off than most of the boys, but it was a dull and'muddy sort of life, and I was plenty glad when I was shipped back and dis charged in ’47. • • « r- IT WAS TWO DATS before Christ mas when I arrived in Great Neck, and you can imagine how let down I felt when I found that my wife wasn’t there waiting for me. In stead, there was a note on the table saying' her mother wasn’t feeling wdU, and she had gone to Cleve land. She’d be back in a few days —that is, if everything was an right This, of course, wasn’t the home coming I’d been figuring on and I took it pretty hard. But realiz ing there was nothing I could do about it—her mother didn’t even have a phone—I sent her a Merry Christmas wire and told her to hurry ‘back as soon as she could. It wasn’t until after New Year’s, however, that my wife showed up. That was in ’47, and in th$ past thre* years a lot of nice things have happened to us—a son, a pretty good job, and most of the mortg. ge paid off on our house. None of which would have come about if the letter thy' wife sent me from Cleveland bad arrived on sched ule. v In you see, she confessed there hpd been another man while J’d been away—nobody she cared any thing about, just someone who had happened along while she lone ly and^ miserable. She said if I didn’t Ivant her to come -back to write and say so and she’d under stand, but if she didn’t hear from me she’d figure I had forgiven her and would return and try to make it up to me. • • • WHEN THE MAILMAN handed me this three-year-old letter a couple of weeks ago, I wondered what the heck was in it, so I rip ped it open and read it right there on the porch. And s corny as it sounds, all the time I was reading it I could hear the vacuum going inside and my son making a racket in his upstairs bedroom. Chances are, had I gotten this letter when I was fresh out of the army and plenty jumpy, I would have caUed my wife every dirty name and busted up our marriage as fast as the law would allow. But standing there on the porch I thought of the three good years we’d had together and the 30 more, maybe, coming up—not to mention the fact that I hadn’t always been a saint myself. So, I put the letter in my pocket, and that night after work went to a jewelry store and made a down-payment on one of those wristwatches with little red stones. When l banded the present to my missus after dinner, she said, "What's this — Christmas in August?” "Exactly, baby,” I soul, and then l told her l bad finally gotten her letter and bow hap py l wa it had come 3(7 months late. Since then we have talked a lot about this lucky accident, and today we decided there’s a lesson in the story which might help a lot of other couples who feel like busting their marriages the first time some thing goes wrong. If»you run this letter in your column, we’d appre ciate it, of course, if you didn’t use our real names. Lionel gestured toward the girt "Cynthia, meet the new Mrs. Ainsley,” he said. canoe toward Woodsville to replen ish their supplies. Cynthia’s pulse quickened a little, and she kept her eyes fastened on the bend in the river that would first reveal the great buildings of the packing house. What followed made Cynthia a little ashamed. She hated to hurt Lionel, he was so fine and generous and kind. And so devoted. She thought he’d object to > a divorce, and it was a little disappointing when he agreed readily. A ND SO Lionel went back into the wilderness shortly after the di vorce was granted, and Cynthia, M free and exultant, waited for Austin to com$ to her. He came at last and stood near where she lay in a hammock. It was night and she could not see his face, < . .v "Cynthia, darling, why did you do it? I feel like a cad, breaking up you and Lionel like that. He’s a good sort and—well, I meant noth ing by my attentions. It was all- well, sort of fun.” “But, darling, you do love me? You do want to marry me?” Mis givings chilled her heart, Austin ran a finger under his coHar. "Well, you see, Cyn thia—yon see, 1 can’t, that is— I’m already married!” Cynthia nearly swooned. When she again opened her eyes Austin was gone, {she was alone. Panic gripped her, then fear. Later she thought of Lionel. She’d not known how to appreciate him. She’d wait. He’d be out of the bush again in three weeks. He’d understand. It was almost unbearable, that waiting. The people of Woodsville looked at her curiously and whis pered among themselves. Three weeks passed and Lionel didn't re turn. Another week dragged by and still no sign of him. Then, at last, Lionel came back. Cynthia, watching from the ver anda of her rooming house, saw his canoe sweep into sight, and her heart leaped. Lionel at last! Lionel, whom she’d loved and would Jove again. Lionel who had loved her so tenderly. Love like his didn’t die. She had treated him miserably, but she’d admit all that, ask his for giveness. And then the canoe neared the shore and Cynthia went down to meet it. Lionel saw her, and waved a greeting. Cynthia’s heart stopped beating. There was someone else in the canoe. A girl. The canoe touched the shore. Lionel grinned at her happily. "Cynthia, it’s good to see you again. Hope you add Austin are happy.” He gestured toward the girl, who had turned to stare. “Cynthia, meet the new Mrs. Ainsley.” It will always pay to watt on til they "level off.” Anyone will concede, we imagine, that this is a hard thing to do, in asmuch as a covey flush of quail is unquestionably one of the most exciting tilings that ever happens to a sportsman. But, if you can contain yourself, select your bird and wait until he has topped his rise, you’ll put more quail in the game pocket ot,' that old hunting coaLthan'you’ve ever done before —that is, if you haven’t been fol lowing such a system. Veteran bird hunters will tell you that quail will in 99 out of 100 cases, always "level off’ after coming to the top of his rise, al though this "leveling” process may put idm in a curving horizontal flight, that may take him up or down from the initial trajectory. However, by concentrating on the one bird and waiting for that "lev eling off,” the gunner will be in much better position to make the proper lead and trigger off at the proper time. That’s why "waiting until they level off’ will pay big dividends for the quail luinter. AAA A/I Together MIRROR Of Your MIND Love Can Be ■ ■ Means of Escape By Lawrence Gould May love be an ‘‘escape from reality”? It is essential that a spirit of co operation, confidence, and apprecia tion exist between the sportsmen of any state and their Game and Fish Department » ■ , The primary purpose of your Game and Fish Department is to produce as many ganfe animals, fish, and game birds for the sports men's hunting and fishing as is pos sible under the present land use policy. ' * * In return the Department is in debted to organized sportsmen’s groups for their co-operation in making suggestions for open and closed seasons most advantageous to the sportsmen ot the localities, as well as for their support in se curing passage of beneficial legis lation for the protection and prop agation of wildlife. The Wyoming Game and Fish Department invites the sportsmen of the state to inform themselves to thfe greatest possible extent relative to our activities and to give us the benefit of their assistance. All sportsmen are the benefic iaries of wildlife conservation ef fort. Most often it is the city sports men who reap the greatest benefit It is they who have more time to hunt and fish during the summer and autumn seasons. They have no investment other than the license fee and the mon^y spent for hunting and fishing equipment. On the other hand, many people in agricultural work have little time for hunting and fishing, yet they often sustain considerable loss supporting game animals on their own deeded land without remuner ation for the feed consumed. They are further inconvenienced many times by thoughtless sportsmen who leave dirty' camp grounds and tom fences behind them, and in other ways damage property. Wildlife conservation must have our common interest if it is to ben efit our state and our people. AAA Line Floater This may- ndt work on every fly- line, but we’re passing it along for what it’s worth: Plagued by a line that kept sinking a short while after we had dressed it, we stopped fishing, dried the line with a hand kerchief and, with it still partially wet, dressed the six feet nearest the leader. Then, believe it or not, that sec tion of the line floated perfectly and kept up the belly of the line be hind it AAA Answer: Yes. It may grow out of unwillingness to face the fact that you’ve lost something which you cannot bear to admit is gone—your hope of happy marriage, for exam ple. I recently was told of a wife whose husband had abused and abandoned her in the most cold blooded manner but who insists she "still loves Mm.” Unless the poor woman has a "martyr complex,” her "love” must be a way of deny ing that he feels about her as lie obviously does. For you cannot real ly love a person if you know be does not and never will love you. Do stout women tend to be of one type? Answer: Yes, reports J. Law rence Angel in the American Jbur- nal of Physical Anthropology, after studying 103 obese white women from the standpoint of their social and racial backgrounds, body struc ture, heredity, etc. They showed pretty. uniformly such character istics as a loveless childhood, and a tendency to combine premature physical development with emotion al childishness. Further research is planned to determine the compara tive importance of heredity and early conditioning in producing varying personalities and physiques, Is it normal to “hate to be ' hurried”? Answer: It is natural to dislike having other people tell you when and how' to do things, but I think, that this dislike has become uncon sciously childish fury in the sort ot person who "just can’t do any thing” if he is asked to do in a hurry or on a fixed schedule. Con sciously he may be trying hard to do what is,expected of him, but deep down inside, his rage at the idea of being “bossed” creates a conflict which prevents his concen trating, and allows him to defy the "orders” without having to admit that he’s rebelling.

IT APPEARS TO HAVE EXISTED AS EARLY AS THE DAYS OF ABRAHAM. CHRIST, IN WASHING HIS DISCIPLES' FEET; TAUGHT A LESSON OF HUMILITY AND GOOD WILL. HEALTHY | Colitis Due to Emotional Imbalance By Dr. James W. Barton M ANY INDIVIDUALS suffering from chronic diarrhea (colitis) consult their physicians asking for some safe medicine to stop it. Diarrhea can have such a simple cause as too much fruit and bulky vegetables; it can also be due to certain diseases such as dysentery, cancer, an overactive thyroid gland sending poisons into the blood, tuberculosis, and disease of the pancreatic gland. Where there has been persistent diarrhea for a long time, the physi cian usually suggests a few days in hospital, where X-rays of the stom ach and intestines, examinations of the cbntent of the stool, exam ination of the blood and urine, a barium enema and examination by fluoroscope (X-ray) may reveal any real or organic cause of the diar rhea. However, in mild persistent diar rhea, the commonest single cause is emotional disturbance. This is called mucous colitis—mild infla- mation, or more correctly irrita tion, of the colon (large bowel). In the severe type of colitis—-ulcer ative colitis—there is ulceration of the colon and formation of pqs, and both pus and blood are found in the stools. In some cases re moval of a portion of the colon is necessary to save life. In the Proceedings of the Royal Society of Medicine, England, Dr. A. Abrams states that emotional tension was connected with three- fourths of all cases of chronic diar- rhe'a. As .cronic diarrhea is both a men tal and physical hazard In itself and can so undermine the patient’s strength that he will have little re sistance to disease, a persistent ef fort on the part of the patient to try to acquire a calmness of spirit is necessary and this will be more effective than quieting or astringent drugs. Calmness of spirit can be sought by religion or philosophy, but com plete physical examination is first necessary to make sure that no organic disease is present. saBMMflBHMMBSMSMBBM —- STRIKES BOS that lota o’ makin’ such thorough pi fer ^be “rainy days,” seem to enjoy the sun ’em today. 66 psld Mto.
