-WASHINGTON — (UP) — The
first of a series of special examin-
ations to recruit qualified persons
for the reorganized and expanding
UV’S. foreign service will be held
in «5 cities throughout the nation
on June 24.
Reorganization plans calls for
the addition of about 2,600 officers
in the next two years to bring the
foreign service to a strength of
approximately 3,900 career diplo-
mats.
The reorganization program,
based on recommendations of the
Secretary of State’s public com-
mittee on personnel (Wriston Com-
mittee), is designed to make the
foreign service "... a more ef-
fective instrument for the conduct
of United States foreign rela-
tions ..."
.The committee, looking into the
organization of the foreign service
last year, found that it was or.e
of two distinct and different per-

Written for the United Press
Every now and then someone
gets up and bewails the reporting
of crime by the newspapers. I
have often done so myself. Some-
times in recent months I have felt
physically ill after reading the
morning paper.
Murders, robberies, beatings,
corrption, vandalism—the list is
endless. Then, like the others, I
have cried:
‘Why do the newspapers print
such stuff? Why don’t they give
up something uplifting once in a
while?"
But I have changed my mind
I’m glad they print it — all of
it. Sure, it nauseates me. Sure, if

sonnel systems within the Depart-
ment of State.
Dual System Scored
While the foreign service man-
ned United States diplomatic posts
abroad, the Civil Service provided
personnel for departmental work
in Washington.
This dual system, according to
Charles E. Saltzman, undersecre-
tary of state for administration,
blocked an advantageous
interchange of skills and experi-
ence between the foreign service
and the headquarters organization
as represented by the civil service
staff” and contributed to "admin-
istrative malfunction.”
As a result of their findings, the
committee recommended that the
foreign service and civil service
above a certain level of employ-
ment be integrated into one for-
eign service officer corps.
This recommendation is current-
ly being carried out by the Secre-
tary of State, John Foster Dulles.
About 1,400 department posts, in-
cluding 16 in the United Nations,
have been designated as "foreign
service positions" and in time will
be filled by foreign service offi-
cers.
Rotation 8ystem
In addition to the enlarging of
the foreign service departmental
staff, the Wriston Committee rec-
ommended that overseas staffs be
brought up to strength. They found
that 1,285 foreign service officers
the number now serving, were too
few adequately to represent the
United States in the 105 countries
with which relations are main-
tained.
To bring the foreign service to
its proposed strength of 3,900 offi-
quired by the foreign service.
Through a rotation system, rec-|
ommended by the Wriston Com-|
mittee, foreign service officers will
serve both abroad and in Wash-
ington, thus maintaining contact
with the American domestic scene.
Loss of this contact in the past
through prolonged tours of duty
abroad has had a bad effect on
the conduct of United States for-
eign relations, the committee con-|
eluded.
The special written examination!
June 24 will be followed by an-
other in December and thereafter
will be held once a year. To be
eligible to take the examination a
person must be at least 20 and j
under 31 years of age. He must|
