Show MILLARD COUNTY CHRONICLE, DELTA, UTAH ' - i DEPARTMENT OF STATE United States' Oldest Executive Department Began Duties 1789 ' v By WALTER A. SHEAD This is the first of a series of six articles on the department of state of the United States and its person-nel as written by Walter A. Sliead, Western Newspaper Union's Washing-ton correspondent. WASHINGTON, D. C The de-partment of state of the United States of America is the official channel through which the Ameri-can people conduct their relations with the other peoples and govern-ments of the world. It is the oldest of the executive departments of government and went into action in 1789 with Thomas Jefferson as the first secretary of state. Because of the fact that this na-tion was traditionally and isolated and aloof from the rest of the world until the advances of technology conquered time and dis-tance, the people of this nation prob-ably know less about the state de-partment than any other branch of government. However, since World War I the state department has been grow-ing, not only in its dealings with the rest of the world, but in the im-pact of its actions and its policy up-on the everyday life of every indi-vidual American citizen. What the American people are concerned with now is just this: What about the department of state .today? Who are the men and women who comprise its personnel roster of some 22.Q00 employees? Where do they come from? How are they chosen for the tasks assigned them? And above all, what is the foreign policy of this nation and how is this policy formed? This series of ar-ticles, of which this is the first4 will attempt to deal objectively with this subject and answer some of these questions. ses upon which to spotlight the THERE ARE TWO main premi-stat- e department. First, the de-partment proper has about 8,000 employees, most of whom are sta-tioned in Washington. These com-prise the general management and functional and operational segments of the department. Then second, there are about 14,000 persons in the foreign service who staff the more than 280 embassies, legations, diplomatic missions and consular DEAN GOODERHAM ACHESON SECRETARY OF STATE Born April 11, 18U3, in Middle-tow- Conn., son of Eleanor and Edward Campion Acheson. Schools: Groton; A.B., Yale, 1915; LL.B., Harvard, 1918; honorary M.A. Yale, !9;tti; honorary L.L.D., Wesleyan, 1917. Married Miss Alice Stanley, May 5, 1917. Children Jane (Mrs. Dudley W. V. Brown); David Cam-pion Achcsor,; Mary Eleanor (Mrs. William P. Bundy). Private secre-tary to Louis D. Brandcis, associate justice of the U.S. supreme court, 1919-21- ; with Covington, Burling and Rublee, 1921-3- appointed under sec-retary of treasury.

U.S. Navy. World War I. offices maintained by the United States in some 75 countries. The next main subject to remem-ber is that the conduct of the foreign affairs of a world power like the United States with a population of more than 150 million people re-quires a highly specialized organi-zation, specially trained about poli-tical, social, cultural and economic aspects of the world. These are further broken down into specialized subjects such as finance, aviation, human rights, labor, agriculture, commerce, tar-iffs, reconstruction, standards of living and other technical fields so that the department not only repre-sents the people of this nation in other countries, but it acts as for-eign representative of all other de-partments of government. And since World War II and the organization of the United Nations, duties of the department have tripled. For instance, during 1949 representatives of our state depart-ment took part in 6,000 international meetings and received 340,000 re-ports from its representatives from throughout the world, all of which had to be analyzed and evaluated as a basis for policy decisions and correlated in each case with those of other interested government agencies. Today, headed by Dean Acheson, the department of state occupies more than 20 separate buildings in Washington scattered about the city, with the beautiful new build-ing at 320 21st Street N. W. as the hub of its activities. The old state building at 17th street and Pennsyl-vania avenue, adjacent to the White House, now houses only the library, and the rest of the building has been taken over by executive offices of the presidential staff and some other agencies. As he does every department of government in the executive branch, the President heads up the state department and is responsible for the foreign policy adopted. The secretary of state is a member of his cabinet and is the chief execu-tive officer of the department. Immediately under him is the Under-Secretar- y of State James E. Webb of North Carolina; Ambassa-dor-at-Larg- e Philip C. Jessup of New York; Deputy Under Secretary of State for Administration John E. Peurifoy of South Carolina; and Deputy Under-Secretar- y Elbert G. Mathews. ff LAURA LOU iLiiiilfia ((S'll CNE 0,7 THE BRIGHTEST PROSPECTS ON THE 3?- WQMENS tennis horizen, won her first SpTr NATIONAL TITLE, THE GIRLS INDOOR CROWN, AT ZkJ I4,AND NOW AT THE AGE OF 17 SHE RANKS NUMBER 2 IN THE GIRLS BRACKET AND ; - : ; ; EARNED NUMBER 20 ON THE WOMEN'S LIST ff n cStjrdeo nobe On the southeastern league the I l THAN SO MONTGOMERY CATCHER DROPPED I I V nuRlNQ f49' STRIKE THREE ON A SELMA BATTER.

This has been the year when the pitching in the two major I , I jj leagues u a o uceii planned more e x -- tensively than ever before. It has been the season when few pitchers ever drew a kind word. And yet it is the year when we might have more 20 - game winners Last of the Sutherland Breed Back in the days when Pitt was collecting a "dream backfield" and Fordham had "seven blocks of granite," the last guy up off the ground in the many scoreless ties was Johnny Michelosen, an affable bloke who had just the right size and speed to fit into the Suther-land single-win- g system as a block-ing back. Big John came to Pitt with a reputation. He was considered one of the greatest high-scho- pros-pects in many a season. He was a great runner and one of the best passers ever turned out in the soft-co-region. And, incidentally, he still holds the high-scho- punt rec-ord. But at Pitt, John never ran, passed and, maybe, punted twice. The late, great Dr. John Bain (Jock) Sutherland took one look at the big Ukrainian and he knew he had a great blocking prospect. Jock didn't realize, however, that he had, at long last, found the heir apparent to his football dynasty . . . the fellow who was going to carry on with the single-win- g sys-tem when most of his other students deserted to the T formation. Nor did Jock realize then that Michel-osen would succeed him in the pro ranks and become the sole tutor of the single wing. If Big Mike should fail in the newly formed National League, then the Sutherland-Warne- r style of rock 'em, sock 'em may pass completely from the football scene. For the better part of his 34 years, John P. Michelosen has been a keen and active student of the game. Football for 1950 Even with the two best pennant races in many years, football is moving up in a hurry. The All-St-game in Chicago has drawn its us-ual capacity crowd and the pros are now trying to find out just what they have by actual competition with one another. One of the nicer notes, so far as the colleges are concerned, is the announcement that Frank Thomas is back on the job as graduate manager at Alabama. "Here in our conference, the Southeastern," Thomas writes, "I would put the ratings in three groups: "No. 1 Tennessee, L.S.U., Georgia and Kentucky. "No. 2 Alabama, Georgia Tech, Mississippi and Vanderbilt. "No. 3 Auburn, Florida and Mississippi State. Of course, with the war situation as it is, many of the boys are in the national guard and different reserve corps. So many things can happen between now and kick-of- f time." Grantland .ice than one can re-- I i member. " As a starter, Bob Lemon faced ,rj the 1950 campaign as the only pitch-- i er who had known two ; f seasons 1948 and 1949. He was the i j lone entry good enough to have two 4. seasons in succession. i Last year we had Parnell, Kin- - N der, Raschi, Lemon, Spahn, Pollet t and Kellner in the (won) Jn division. ro' There were five American leaguers and two National ' leaguers. They can break this i mark in 1950. Those who still fj have at least a shot at the mark k this season with some 50 games K left are Lemon and Wynn of X Cleveland; Lopat, Raschi and j Byrne of the N. T. Yankees; Houtteman and Hutchinson of ; Detroit; Roberts and Simmons (if he has the chance to keep pitching) of the Phillies; Sain, Spahn and Bickford of the Braves; Jansen of the Giants; Tl Roe and possibly Newcombe of the Dodgers. Those who won 20 or more games last year and probably won't this season include Parnell and Kinder of the Red Sox, Pollet of mm the Cardinals and Kellner of the N Athletics. . This leaves Lemon, Raschi and i Spahn as the only repeaters, pro- - ' j vided they can make the grade. It must be admitted the pitching in both big leagues improved con- - f siderably since late June. Before H that it was something unspeakable i , in the great majority of cases. Cer- - j i tainly the Phillies and Giants have fj been getting excellent pitching M while Yankees pitching has moved up from its earlier outlook. j Munger of the Cardinals, nHeintzelman of the Phillies, j Barney of the Dodg- - 1 ers, Pollet of the Cardinals, j J Myer of the Phillies, Parnell ' and Kinder of the Red Sox and U. practically all of the Athletic pitchers have been disappoint- - ing.

There is nothing that stands be-tween our complete happiness, but the consent of a bl " "Of my father, Tommy," Dolores Interrupted him gently. "That is a big obstacle, my dear. In my 3,,.niltB country, girls do not mari"y with- - out the consent of their parents. It is tradition, Tommy." "Rats!" said Tommy. "You mean you won't break it! You don't love me!" "Tommy!" "All right," he said. "I can't see it your way, but I guess I've got to take it and like it." He left.her abruptly, crossed the d patio of the old Spanish hacienda and entered the door on the opposite side. Inside the small room Tommy saw a white-haire- d old man taking his ease in a chair near a window. "Senor Jacinto," the youth began, "I come to you again and for the last time and in all humbleness to ask the hand of your daughter. I" "And for the last time," inter-rupted the old man angrily, "I refuse. My daughter is descend-ed from a noble and proud fam-ily. She deserves a husband of distinction and wealth." "You mean," said Tommy, "that you will sell your daughter to the man who will lend you enough money to increase your measly fish business. A fish peddler dishing out stuff about noble ancestors! Bah!" "Get out of my house, you Amer-ican adventurer! And if you come back once more, I will turn you over to the police!" Back at his hotel Tommy's spirits On the eighth day Senor Ja-cinto stopped him on a deserted street. "This is an outrage! is not big enough for two fish dealers," he said. sank to a low ebb. He had not the remotest idea how to persuade Senor Jacinto to consent to his marriage to Dolores. Suddenly Tommy leaped to his feet. He could not provide funds to help Dolores' father expand, but on the other hand. . . . Early the next morning the streets of Ortegna rang to the cry of "Fish! Fresh Fish!" delivered in a strange and foreign dialect. Housewives rushed to their doors and smiled over the odd sight of a blond-haire- d American youth pushing a cart in front of him on which reposed a canvas tarpaulin covering great quantities of fresh fish. Curious, they stopped and questioned him, were astonished to learn that his price was far below that of Senor Jacinto. VTEWS of the oddity spread rapid-l-y and before noon Tommy had sold out his supply. On the next day it was the same, and again on the day following. A week passed and Tommy had worked up a nice business. Occasionally he saw Senor Jac-into, but the old man passed him by with never a word, but glowering looks. On the eighth day Senor Jacinto stopped him on a deserted street. "This is an outrage! Ortegna is not big enough for two fish dealers. One of us will have to go." "What a pity you are planning to leave the land of your birth where you own a fine house and have many friends." Senor Jacinto choked with rage. "It is you who will go. I was here first. I built up the fish business here. You will have to go!" "Gladly," said Tommy. "The mo-ment you consent to my marriage to Dolores. I am not a fish dealer by trade. I am a surveyor. I would like to continue to be a surveyor, but not alone." "Never!" shouted the angry man. Tommy shrugged and shook his head sadly. "It is a pity. Fish!" he called at the top of his voice. "Fresh fish!" Senor Jacinto nearly burst a blood vessel. "Stop!" he shrieked. "The very sound of your voice is like a knife in my side. Take my daughter and the devil with you both! Only leave me in peace!" Dolores was waiting in the patio when Tommy came for her. "You are a very good fish ped- - dler," she said. "Will you always be a fish peddler?" "Only," said Tommy, "if your father should change his mind about consenting to our marriage.'"

BROADWAY AND MAIN STREET Well Hade Plans of Men Go Wrong - Without Murder By BILLY ROSE If you've nothing better to do for the next three minutes, let's play a game called "Answer Yes or No." Question: If a doctor were accused of allowing a mean old man to die who only had a week to live anyhow, and you were on the jury, would you find him guilty of murder? A dopey question, you say, because it leaves you no choice? Well let me brief you on the events leading up to the crime and then put the q'ues-t.in- n in vnn npnin The mean old man let's call him Andrew Horton was a millionaire of the almost extinct rough-'em-u- p Jay Gould school, and among the people he delighted in pushing around was his son. An-drew, Jr. To round out the picture, it must be admitted that the youngster pretty much rated this treatment: He was a weak-chjnne- d and weak - willed executed in the presence of the doctor. "That's a fine gesture," the physician told his patient when the lawyer had gone. "That amount of money will finance a lot of impor- tant work." "Only idiots leave money to In-stitutions instead of their own kin," said the old millionaire. "I didn't bother telling that fool lawyer, but the will you witnessed is only in-tended to throw a scare into my son. Tomorrow or the next day when he comes to his senses, I'm going to tear it up and reinstate the old will." Late that night the patient had another attack, and when the doc-tor examined him he knew it was touch and g0 given the proper medication, the old skinlint might be kp alive long enough to reinstate the original will; a slightly different dose, however, and he didn't figure to survive the night. Well, as I get the story, he died a few hours later and his millions were used to set up one of the im-portant research centers in the East. As for the son, he turned out to be as big a bum without money as with .... Now to get back to my original question: With the facts before you would you find the doctor guilty or not guilty of murder? coming of fortune, the voung man went out and tied on quite a pack-age, and on the way home drove his car through a plate-glas- s win-dow on Madison avenue. He was arrested and promptly bailed out. but the story hit all the front pages When his father saw the papers the next morning, he almost had another stroke, and it didn't help when the boy faced up to him and blurted out that in a short time he'd be doing as he darn well pleased. When his son left, the million-aire sent for his lawyer. "I'm going to teach that kid of mine a lesson," he told him. "Fix up a new will where he doesn't get a penny and bring it back this after-noon. The doctor can witness my signature." "What beneficiary do you want to name?" asked the lawyer. "Make it out to one of those out-fits for medical research," said the old man.
