National Adjutant Henry H. Dudley acted as Secretary. Invocation by the National Chaplain, Rev. Thomas Grice, California. Roll call by the National Adjutant showed the following- present : National Commander Perry Roane Waring, Tennessee Brown Warren H. Atherton, California National Chaplain Rev.

The Secretary read a communication from Joe Kirkpatrick, member of the committee from New Mexico, who was unable to be present; and a communication from Oscar Rohlff, Wyoming, former member of the committee. Opening Remarks of the National Commander I think, just for a moment or two this morning, if we can orient our- selves by meeting the new members who are here, it will help. First, I would like to introduce the official family. It so happens that my name is Perry Brown, and you have made me National Commander. Jim Lane from Alabama, Vice-Commander; Leonard W. Moody, from Arkansas Vice-Commander. James Annin, from Montana, was obliged to return home on account of a death in the family. Edward J. Kelly, Con- necticut; Walter E. Alessandroni, Pennsylvania. Now will the new committeemen stand for a bow as your name is called? These are the new men who are here for the first time, with perhaps one or two exceptions. Alaska, Frank Nash, alternate for Walter B. King, who is absent; Arizona, John R. Stille; California, Ed Bolt; Colorado, Albert F. Cruse is absent, and his alternate, Leo Crowley, is here in his place. Delaware, George Ehinger; District of Columbia, Owen C. Holleran; Idaho, Bert Weston is absent, and his alternate is also absent. Kansas, Walter Reed Gage- Maine, Hector G. Staples; Maryland, Harry S. Allen; Mississippi, H. Kirk Grantham; Ohio, Don W. Schoeppe; Philippine Islands, Marc A. Stice, absent, also his alternate. Tennessee, Halbert Harvill; Texas, H. Miller Ainsworth. Then may I again introduce—although he was introduced to you earlier and you all know him and love him Tom Grice, your National Chaplain. It was suggested, because some 16 of you are here for the first time and about 22 of you are here for the second year, and because of repeated 4 requests that have come to me that you would like to know more about what makes these divisions of yours click, and why they are there, it has been suggested in the reports from the commissions, whether it be through the chairman or whether it be through the director, that they present to you something of the background as to the reason why that division exists—a little of its history—and bring you up to date, so that it might help you apply the mandates of the Miami Convention here at this meeting. Now, to some of you old men here, that may be an old, old story, but please remember that over 30 of you are here as newcomers and only a part of those have been here for one year. I recognize, of course, that the Finance Committee will make its report later on in the day, but this is the time for you men to find out what makes this thing click. If you want to find out how much each man on the staff gets, ask them while they are here. Ask them, so that you understand what each division

  • JOHN FOSTER DULLES PAPERS PERSONNEL SERIES The
    JOHN FOSTER DULLES PAPERS PERSONNEL SERIES The Personnel Series, consisting of approximately 17,900 pages, is comprised of three subseries, an alphabetically arranged Chiefs of Mission Subseries, an alphabetically arranged Special Liaison Staff Subseries and a Chronological Subseries. The entire series focuses on appointments and evaluations of ambassadors and other foreign service personnel and consideration of political appointees for various posts. The series is an important source of information on the staffing of foreign service posts with African- Americans, Jews, women, and individuals representing various political constituencies. Frank assessments of the performances of many chiefs of mission are found here, especially in the Chiefs of Mission Subseries and much of the series reflects input sought and obtained by Secretary Dulles from his staff concerning the political suitability of ambassadors currently serving as well as numerous potential appointees. While the emphasis is on personalities and politics, information on U.S. relations with various foreign countries can be found in this series. The Chiefs of Mission Subseries totals approximately 1,800 pages and contains candid assessments of U.S. ambassadors to certain countries, lists of chiefs of missions and indications of which ones were to be changed, biographical data, materials re controversial individuals such as John Paton Davies, Julius Holmes, Wolf Ladejinsky, Jesse Locker, William D. Pawley, and others, memoranda regarding Leonard Hall and political patronage, procedures for selecting career and political candidates for positions, discussions of “most urgent problems” for ambassadorships in certain countries, consideration of African-American appointees, comments on certain individuals’ connections to Truman Administration, and lists of personnel in Secretary of State’s office.
