He received a bachelor's degree in political science from Princeton University. He entered the Foreign Service in 1931, where his career included positions in Estonia, France, Argentina, England, Bra)il, and Germany, and an ambassadorship to Cambodia. Ambassador Trimble was interviewed by Charles Stuart Kennedy in 1990. T1IMB3EA I was assigne to Seville. My mother pai my trip over, which was the last time I too5 any money from my family. Those who ha been accepte were given a large salary of B2,5.. a year, no allowances. /ortunately in Seville we ha a government-owne buil ing which was ma e for the 1929 Exposition, but with living Cuarters. The i ea was everyone that came in at that time ha to go through consular practice wor5, an it ma e a great eal of sense. There was no tal5 about cones or anything li5e that, which is-- -. I might add for the record, 0cones0 is the bureaucratic jargon for the ma1or specialties within the Foreign Service. political, economic, administrative and consular. T1IMB3EA That was put in many years later by a man who was Mr. DullesD private assistant an who became assistant secretary of a ministration. The i ea was in my opinion completely wrong, an the Service still suffers from it. We ha to learn consular practice. That is shipping, invoices, notarials, accounts, tra e letters, commercial reporting, welfare, helping Americans abroa , passports, visas, an so forth. An you learne a lot about human nature an ealing with people, particularly if you ha ha a rather limite 5nowle ge of human nature as a college stu ent. We all ha to learn consular wor5. Then I went to what was calle the /oreign Service School, which you ha to go to for three months of further training, three months of stu y, in Washington. That was after over a year In Seville. Then the Depression was really on. 2overnment employees wor5e one month without pay. So cutting own B2,5.. by one-twelfth i nDt leave much. /ortunately, I was home, so I coul live with my family an my mother at that time. Then I was assigne to Buenos Aires.

Ambassador Williams was interviewed by Melvin Spector in 1990. He died in 1994. WI33IAMSA Yes. I expecte to spen my life there. But I got a 1ho es scholarship an went to Oxfor for three years. At the en of that time I ha been invite by an ol frien of the familyDs who was going to Spain as Ambassa or to accompany him there as his private secretary. This was Alexan er W. We ell, who was our first ambassa or to Spain after the Spanish Civil War. I spent about seven months with him an realize that I ha to go bac5 to Dr. /ree man who was hol ing a job for me as assistant to the e itor of the News 3ea er in 1ichmon . But the war came an the pull of the service was such that I ha to leave the newspaper in September 194. to go into the Navy. I spent the next five years in the Navy, but two of those years I ha uty as assistant naval attach7 in Ma ri . When the war finally en e I ha ha three years of uty at sea, the Atlantic an Pacific, an after that I was tol that I was in a goo position to go into the /oreign Service un er the Manpower Act. /or some reason I was persua e to o that an i not return to Dr. /ree man. -. May I go bac7 a moment before we leave this part of your history, when you were in England what was your general field of study at 34ford; WI33IAMSA At Oxfor my principal fiel of stu y was politics an economics. I ha a great opportunity there to stu y with some very goo tutors, but Mr.
